Sjoerdtim Appreciation Thread!
- Thread starter CptBlockbeard
- Start date
No one cares.well this guy here called sjoerdtim has to be happy o.o, but now he feels happy we need to ruin his life
An Englishman, an Irishman, a Welshman, and a Scotsman are sitting in a bar drinking pints when 4 flies buzz in and drop in their drinks. The Englishman refuses to drink his and orders another one, the Welshman throws his in the Englishman's new glass, the Irishman blows his away in a froth of foam and continues drinking, but the Scotsman pulls his out and says, "Alright, spit it out ya wee bastard."
See THAT WAS RACIST but you don't care because no one gets hyped about Scottish jokes. Do you realize how many times I see African Americans making white jokes and no one cares? Oh but when we do it it's racist of course. He wasn't being racist, Cookie wasn't being racist, he's right, a slight bit of racial humor is ok as long as it's not overboard and you don't mean it so stop acting like the Defenders of the Race.

Your the one defending this race here wtf?
#HYPOCRITE
Also it was riko i was talking to, not you. You arent in this conversation :furious:
I'm defending you and the fact that apparently Irish jokes are ok but black jokes aren't.
You tell me to stop defending races when I am just proving a point, and you basically admitted to defending something... Also that argument did not even involve you :furious:

That's because the Irish don't really care about these 'racist' jokes - they usually have an element of truth in them, they do like a good pint if truth be told. Whilst African jokes are very offensive and contain references to racist events in the past (same with jokes towards Jews, referencing the Holocaust), like the horrific Slave Trade, or they reference the skin tone of people with African descent, and try to poke fun at the fact they have a darker shade of skin, incredibly stupid.
Also, it's very strange that people don't seem to realize skin color is simply an evolutionary trait that keeps the amount of light hitting out skin in check. Darker skinned people live in areas where the ultraviolet light from the sun is more of a danger, like the Middle East or Africa. While lighter skinned people live in areas where the sun isn't as dangerous, like Europe or Canada. I will never understand the need for people to freak out over other people having different skin colors.
It is a survival tool, nothing more, nothing less.

Humans are social creatures, that like to rank people into a system. Some would rank themselves better than others, which is often based on their appearance/abilities. That's why there will never be equality. Even when everyone will look the same, they would still rank others below themselves because they aren't in a certain group. A funny but good example would be religion or other personal beliefs, but also kinds of sports or jobs.
No, Rufus, it's because the Irish are not discriminated against, whereas African Americans are, and thus take everything the wrong way. If a black person were to make a joke about African Americans, would it be racist? No? Then why would it be when I or you or anyone else did?
Humans like to give a whole population of a country/area a
(negative) attribute. (And often exaggerate it!)Examples:
Black people like fried chicken and water melon, Irish people have red hair, Slavs drink vodka and squat all day and Dutch people smoke weed every day.
Irishmen do have red hair, and not Slavs, the Russians drink Vodka. The Russians aren't Slavic, they're Scandinavian descendants, and some of them may have intermarried. And yeah so? It's good fun as long as you don't take it seriously or hurt people. There's a girl I like LOADS and she's blonde but I tell her blonde jokes and she loves them and she tells me ginger jokes and I'm ginger and even I tell ginger jokes, so people should stop being the Racism Cop and learn the difference between racism and joking.

Us Irish are discriminated against, you should come to Europe, we're not taken seriously at all.. ;_; Everyone think we're drunk fools even though we are home to some great poets and writers as well as the finest dark-brew in the world. Other Western countries also try to steal our National Holiday and sew it into their culture, using "Oh my great-great-great-grandfather was a quarter Irish, so I can use that small lineage as an excuse to get wasted! #YOLOLOLOLO!" as an excuse. The term for this is, 'Plastic Paddy'.
Russians are slavic. Also, a lot of Eastern-Europe (And thus Slavic people), drink vodka. So you're on both of them wrong ;D!
TL
R It's normal for humans to rank other people. And because it will probably stay that way, there won't be equality, and thus racism.Any other subjects to discuss?
Russians are from Scandinavia and have intermarried with Slavs. Slavs were the previous, pagan people who were driven away and now live in Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, the rest of the Balkans, Lithuania, the old Poland-Lithuania empire, Latvia, and Estonia. History nerd here boi.

Then they would still be partly Slav.
Anyways, Russia is a big country, which contains a lot of tribes.
The western part across the Ural Mountains are mostly Tartars with some of the Russians and on the south bit a few Mongolians and Chinese, but they are not Slavs, they are partly Slav, and that is the definition of Russian.
