Current Events > did jackie chan deserve to get beat up for using the nword?

(+) Yeah! (+)

he's asian, white oppressor/slave owner *404 not found*
he's a foreigner
all he did was repeat what chris tucker said

When did this happen
---

Oh Rush Hour haha nah Jackie is awesome
---

Lol it took me a sec to remember when this happened
---

yea that was dumb. one "joke" I always hate in movies is when a foreigner says something without knowing what they are saying and gets beat up. like I hope that doesnt happen in real life. if it's obvious the person doesn't know the language you shouldn't attack them for saying something that maybe someone told them to say. also it paints people in a bad light that they cant' hear a phrase without going into a rage

The Chinese people have experienced a good deal of hardships and oppression, so it should be okay for them to use racial slurs to a certain extent.

That scene was fucking hilarious.

Any time I see that your user name has mentioned me, I'm guaranteed it's something stupid.

He's also an actor playing a character in a film. And he wasn't repeating chris tucker. He was repeating Detective Carter.

indeed it is something quite stupid, physically assaulting someone over a word.

Especially when they're an actor in a film who isn't actually trying to anger anyone. But you probably don't see the difference due to your limitations. See you in the next topic when you ask such intelligent, hard hitting questions as "What if it's a ventriloquist neo nazi, and his puppet says "blood and soil?" Should you fight the dummy?"
---

thugs that think physical assault is justified over words that hurt your feelings shouldn't talk about limitations
---

Almost as if context matters and people shouldn't get so butthurt over words that clearly don't mean anything in said context.

Yes. Not too hard to understand for most people. But the socially anxious shut ins who never talk to people face to face sure do struggle with these ideas.

In the 3rd movie (which was bad btw), a Chinese thug called Chris Tucker the n word in French.

we are not offended, we are saying inside the world of the movie, it was unfair of the black guys to attack him. that's what I am mad about at least. I always hated that scene. like I said, you shouldn't beat up foreigners who can't actually speak english and get tricked into saying something like that without knowing what it means

I didn't change anything. You said you "weren't offended" and then a sentence later admitted the scene made you mad and that you hated it. That means you were offended, buddy. And over an obvious joke in a comedy film about a guy not understanding the English language. You're the snowflakiest of all snowflakes.

no. being mad at a scene is not the same thing as being offended. we must have different definitions of what offended means

Yes. There's your definition, and the definition that the rest of the world uses.

Offend:
1. to irritate, annoy, or anger; cause resentful displeasure in
2. to affect (the sense, taste, etc.) disagreeably.

Offend:
1. cause to feel upset, annoyed, or resentful.

you are trying to say that I found offense in the real world about this. like I want to ban the movie or something. I just don't like that one scene but otherwise like the movie. offended would be if I made a rant about it. and tried to start a petition

Odd. I'm not seeing that requirement in any dictionary. How often do you come up with your own definitions of words?

that's dumb. Jackie is chinese. and people named So Young or So Yung are Korean. people are always being racist to asians and combining various nation's stereotypes cause they are so lazy they can't be bothered to learn the differences

some people believe only certain skin colors can be racist. hint: starts with w

yea its a fact that racism towards asians is still something society will accept or just play down.

So you're racist too? Of course you, a not so intelligent white male, would ignorantly think "it's just a word," but the fact that you actually use "thuganese" and are making fun of how some people speak like this explains a lot.

I like how unexpectedly Jackie kicks everyone's asses in the bar after saying that INSTEAD of him getting beat up justifiably.
