I posted this in another message board and was chewed out because it's 'disrespectful' to our Asian minorities.?? Since there are so may of you here, I would like to know your opinion.

No, because all your doing is posting phrases and what they mean in Chinese, and it doesn't seem offensive to me.

I think it's hilarious :rotflmao:

But then again, I'm not easily offended and then again...I'm not Asian :)

Hey, I'm not Asian, but I am foreign. I've heard jokes like that with my native tongue and they've always made me laugh. I don't know why they were offended...

No that is making fun of Chinese. Those phrases do not really mean that. Sound them out, it's a joke.

For example,
That's not right...
Sum Ting Wong (Something Wrong)

I think it is hillarious by the way :lol:

To the overly sensitive, it might be. I can't say I'd be offended if I saw the Asians making fun of the English language.

Could you explain your reasoning, please? I'm interested because I'm not offended when it's done to my language.

I don't find it offensive but some Chinese people might find it offensive. Just think this way: If you have to ask if something is offensive it probably is.

IT looks like it was written by a Chinese with a sense of humor. So sad that some others don't find that. This person said that 'how would I feel if it was about a latina(since I am one) instead of an Asian; I just said that it wouldn't bother me since I had to pick which battles were worth fighting.

That's what I mean. It's not stereotyping anybody. I'm Latin American - and I myself have made jokes like that with Portuguese and English. :confused: Could somebody explain what is so offensive about it? Just don't say it is - say WHY it is. I'm curious. And confused.

Say whatever jokes you want whenever you want, if people get offended, it is their problem. This is not to say, insult and demean people and say, "Oh that's your problem." Okay, you can laugh at and tell jokes, whatever joke(s) you want. Do not let political correctness strip you of your rights.

And honestly, an Asian who gets offended because he thinks we think less of them when reading these jokes is stupid anyway.

I's don't know how's they made. He never lets us in to see. Bessie, his cow, stands and blocks the door to the cellar. We tried once to git under Bessie, but she done sat on Cletus. Then we's tried to get around her and she done pooped on Clem.
