		<description>&quot;In what country, right now, are people of Chinese origin not allowed to vote, not allowed to form free trade unions, subject to prison labour, and not allowed to freely live where they want to? I have a little problem with people who get rich exploiting workers under such a system. How about you&quot; 
 
I never said the posters or anglos had a monopoly on racism or exploitation.  Classic racist-in-denial arguements. When called on being racist you point to some other marginally related injustice committed by the group you are targeting to confuse the issue; Blame asians for wrecking the &quot;character&quot; of the city and when called on it defend yourself by saying that asians are racist too. &lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-42974&quot;&gt;2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>It seems like Kuroame&#039;s the one whose touched a few nerves around here with a wonderfully succint riposte to the racists on this blog : Overcome your upbringing. 
 
There&#039;s no doubt in my mind at this point that the Pope has no problem with the hare-brained xenophobic commentary posted by some of the regulars on this blog.  He censors RealPaul, but enables the xenophobes to continue polluting every last thread.  How does it feel to let your own blog go from decent to not-so-hot, Pope?  
 
If it were up to me, the xenophobes&#039; posts would get the boot, not the ones that go harsh on &quot;realtards&quot;. (Thanks for that one, RealPaul!) 
 
But, it&#039;s not up to me, so I am recusing myself from this increasingly irrelevant forum. 
 
Bye Bye. &lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-42950&quot;&gt;1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It&#039;s so beautiful how it comes full circle, doesn&#039;t it? 
 
Now over 1000 of those Chinese who got rich by being &quot;racist&quot; to other Chinese in China are heading over to PEI over the next few months.  And they&#039;ll be a needing $200,000 &quot;starter&quot; homes to live in, won&#039;t they?

Anyway I made a couple of pepperoni sales in LA.&quot;

Thanks, but I&#039;m sure identifying people personally unless they out themselves with thier own personal deeds is not the way to go. Most of theses people I speak of so fondly are just dumb chimps.  
 
I like to get after the real idiots when they start  to take themselves too seriously by doing or saying really outlandish things. Then they are fair game and it&#039;s OK to call them out.  
 
Uber Dipshits like Booby Runniepants for example who&#039;s new boyfriend must be using LSD soaked condoms. That fart blowing dickhead deserves a public firehose enema for talking the bullshit he does. 
 
To list all the realtards who couldn&#039;t walk and chew gum at the same time even if it was on the way to stealing thier mothers purse is akin to beating a dog, just no fun for the effort ratio in that. I prefer the &#039;wack a mole&#039; concept that is similar to this blogs particapants. &lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-42935&quot;&gt;1&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;i&gt;Oh, I see so because some Chinese are racist too and some rich chinese people who can afford a nanny exploit them it is then ok to say racist things about asians. Cool logic.&lt;/i&gt; 
 
That&#039;s your logic not mine. 
 
Here&#039;s a little quiz for you. 
 
In what country, &lt;b&gt;right now&lt;/b&gt;, are people of Chinese origin not allowed to vote, not allowed to form free trade unions, subject to prison labour, and not allowed to freely live where they want to? 
 
It&#039;s not Canada.

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Listen to yourselves. Overcome your upbringing.&lt;/i&gt; 
 
kuroame, take a breath and listen to yourself, please!   
Clearly I and others touched a raw nerve.  My apologies.  Having said that, I think you need to overcome your own upbringing.  Your family memory is important and &lt;i&gt;no&lt;/i&gt; amount of restitution could ever make up for what happened.  But imHo you brought this memory inappropriately, with considerable vitriol, into the present.  That was your first post.  Now you just won&#039;t back down.  Your eyes have glazed over. &lt;p class=&quot;top-comments&quot;&gt;Current score: &lt;span class=&quot;top-comments-karma&quot; id=&quot;karma-42928&quot;&gt;0&lt;/span&gt; &lt;small&gt;(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
