I only watched 40 seconds and that guy's quite blatantly just racist I actually think that not offending people is a good thing, and if it means I'm not allowed to call black people porch monkies or call gay people faggots, then that's fine with me.. |

Take the time to watch all of it with an open mind please. I strongly agree with the guy in those videos, they sum up my thoughts on this topic completely, to be honest. |

As long as someone isn't intentionally hating on someone's race, I do find it funny. If one can't laugh about their own race or stereotype, then it's really their problem and not anyone else's. |

Ok I watched it all and understand the anger towards suicide bombers, but also think that this man was pretty disrespectful. He did just say that being a muslim is a mental illness and that muslims don't deserve respect. He does know that not all muslims are suicide bombers, right? |

The Main point is, some people didn't know you were making a video, and that he was your friend.... If they knew that, maybe it would have changed the response. But the Overall Point is exactly what Astheria said. People Kill Over this stuff. People Die from someone saying what they may think is funny all because the other person didn't. |

Because the people who are initially racist are immature themselves, so caring or retaliating is immature itself. And if you care about someone joking around then you're just too uptight about life in general. |

First, can I suggest moving this to Brian Juice, it needs a good topic. Warning: long post ahead. Political correctness, yes I agree that it is complete and utter crap, people should not be offended over trivial things like that, however there is a line and it is best not to cross it. I am not saying that the state of things now is correct, it should defiantly get less touchy, like the guy in first video "Favorite Stereotype" said, a black man should not be offended if I say he likes chicken but he has the right to be offended if I say something about slavery being okay. I know it's not the best of examples. Wait I have a good one. If you tell me that I go to school on a camel or live in a pyramid, etc. I would laugh it off. Something more serious like 'you have sex with camel' I would probably just make a similar joke about your race/culture. But if some guy walks up to me and accuses me of terrorism just because I'm middle easters, by God I will punch him in the face. No this is not for showing how macho I am, I am trying to show that there are levels. Also, regarding the terrorist thing, I find "please don't blow me up" extremely funny. I would only get pissed if someone was serious about things like that. OcelotJay, you are politely asking Muslim women to stop covering their face, I think you are wrong. You should bloody demand they do it, for all the reasons stated in "Am I racist" and a few other reasons as well. It is not in our religion, our proper religion, I don't care what you're stoned cleric says, that women should cover their faces. All God demands is modesty, non tight jeans, long sleeves and a head scarf are perfectly alright. I would like to state that the the guy from the second and third videos, among other things, is a hypocrite. Indeed, if I had watched his second video only I would agree with every word he said, as he comes off very tolerant and understanding. Well the truth is, he seems that way because he is only addressing one point from his previous video, one of the few he was right about. Now let's examine some of the things this 'tolerant' man said in his first video.
Way to show you're tolerance, arsehole. Please, continue insulting my key religious icons.
Yes, and where did you get that from, kind sir? Please show references because I have never read anything like that in my copy of the Qur'an.
I see to forget the soura that states "Thou shall not commit democracy".
A bloody myth as I have to state for the nth time. You go to heaven, you get what you want, simple. You want 72 virgins? You go them? You want a car, have one mate. A PS8 you say? Sure! That's why they call it heaven. And most suicide bombers don't go to heaven.
That's right mate, some guy looked at my mother yesterday so I axe murdered him. What the **** are you on about. Please look up fanatics. |

While I agree this is a good topic, I feel it's sort of a boring one. Maybe because I've been complaining about being PC more than usual the past few weeks and most of us seem to be in agreement? I'd sing a song called "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist" but everyone knows I wouldn't actually be singing it, I'd just be copying the lyrics. And how lame is that? |

I understand and can see what you're saying, but he also talks about how the problem is with a peace orientated religion that has so many deaths attributed to it. He doesn't insult Muslims per se, just the idiots who think the only way to get a point across is to bomb something, or that killing your daughter for dishonouring the family is the right thing to do. He mentions later on how intelligent Muslims have written and agreed with him, you have to understand he's not taking personal jabs at every Muslim in the world, just pointing out flaws with the religion. I agree with many of the points in your post, by the way, Ahmed. Nice post. |

I do agree though that the situation is often blown out of proportion.
