Yeah! I'm thinking the large bag they sell at Costco, the kind that's like 30+ inches long.

Funny, this race "discussion" on a fishing website is still going on? Sigh...I guess the BWE moderators find that this thread is bringing in ad raffic and so be it.

I guess this happens when folks try to educate others about their feelings. You get disrespected by racially charged words and then folks say it's your problem or as in LOWPROFILE's comment, you're a Whiney Bi**h (HURAHH!).

No one wants anything from you but your mutual respect and the application of the Golden Rule. If that's too much, then so be it.

In the case of alanw and BigT's uncle, I get it. You grow up and the demographics is homogenous. Then in midlife, more and more different looking folks come into the picture. They don't speak the same language. Wally and the Beaver is replaced by the Cosby Show, WTF, right? What? I can't say "neg*oe" or "colored" anymore? Orientals want to be called Asian? Why do my gardeners want to be called "Latinos" instead of Mexicans? I know habits are hard to change and was pleasantly surprised when alanw acknowledged Buddha's request.

BigT and other folks who think the problem is with the minorities (yes, you LOWPROFILE), do me a favor. Go away from your homogenous demographic life and go to South Central Los Angeles and find some young black youths wearing a lot of red or blue. Start up a conversation with them and refer to them as "neg*oe" or "colored". Those were socially acceptable words for blacks at one point in history, right? After all, it's their hang up and they are the Whiney Bit*hes, right? I'm going to guess, it won't be their problem at that point, the problem will be yours.

I work in a predominantly Asian area and 3 of the 4 people I work with, including my boss are vietnamese. The other is Korean. I make Asian jokes all day with them because we are close like that and I can get away with it and vica versa because we all respect each other. As was said before, it's barbershop talk. The problem on a public forum is that not everyone here are friends and everyone is not going to be as receptive to the racial banter. I don't think anything was said out of real hate or malice. People just need to learn to back off sometimes. It's fairly common knowledge that oriental is a racially insensitive moniker. If it wasn't known then it sure as fuck is now so everyone just move on.

Glad you asked

Actually, its quite simple. Not every gardner is Mexican........some are from Honduras, some are Puerto Rican, some are Salvadoranian, some are from Guatemala, some are Mexican and others may be Cuban. The same goes for Orientals/Asians.........some are from China, or Japan, or Taiwan, etc.

If you had to identify a white guy it would be easier to say, "that white ______(fill in the blank)" than it would be to say the Dutch American, or the Euro-Russian, or the South African, etc. The same goes for Hispanic/Latinos........

so yeah......that's why
