Asia's Obsession With White Skin

“As a very light-skinned person I'm envious. Do try to be careful though. You can still get a sunburn if you have dark skin, it's just not as obvious as on a white person. Also, the signs of skin cancer are harder to see.”

“I agree. I think it would be more effective to mock them as doofuses. Sure, these people can be dangerous. They're wearing hoods so it's likely that somewhere in the back of their minds they don't want to have their faces showing in such ridiculous outfits.”

“I've seen Japanese people do both around Westerners. I'm sure you're equally bothered by the fact that Nixon also bowed to the Emperor & Eisenhower bowed to the leader of France. And well, Bush's holding hands & kissing the Saudi King, it goes without saying . . . .

“I'm tiring of Chris Matthews' talking about being Irish American. He acts like it's so unusual to be Irish in this country & his heritage is so unique. Throw a rock anywhere in this country & you'll likely hit someone who's part Irish. Not that I'm recommending that. After all, I'm part Irish myself. It's cool to be Irish with the shamrocks, the whiskey & that irresistible armless dancing. But enough already.

“It is part of the MSNBC catholic shtick, what he is really saying is that he is a racist. I think it is interesting to watch him struggle with it.
Where he goes wrong is thinking he is in the majority.
The American psyche at it's base is native American, that means racially inclusive. His racism is exclusive. When he talks about 'real' America, a phrase he used for a long time before Palin made it famous, he means white christians like himself.
I am tired of it too, especially the glorification of whisky. I am also part Irish. Lots of us are.”

“People in Japan bow because they rarely shake hands. When in Rome do as the Romans do, in Japan . . . Courtesy anyone?”

“American Presidents do not bow that is protocol and no on expects them to.”
indystock replied on Nov 21, 2009 at 04:36:53
“Well then, it might have helped him to actually study up on "what the Roman's do", as combining the bow WITH the handshake was even more of an oddity.
Having said that, at that level, executive leadership norms supersede what is customary for us 'regular people'. The leader of the world's most powerful nation should not bow to another nation, not as an insult, but as an expected behavior which in no way would have offended them either.”

Melody Barnes's Semi-Endorsement Of Gay Marriage Causes Discomfort In White House
Commented Nov 17, 2009 at 01:42:50 in Politics
“Apparently Geithner bungled the AIG bailout & the Obama White House is embarrassed about Melody Barnes' endorsement of gay marriage. Talk about screwed up priorities.
Not only that, when you have an otherwise liberal agenda and surround yourself with liberals, chances are at least one of them is going to support gay marriage. Just a guess.”
