Until we all stand in someone else shoes we cannot really understand some remarks, there is a friend of mine here who is of different race and what he just went though at a airport none of us would like to deal with !!!!! I personally do not look at color, if you act like a human being you can be my friend, if not I will just avoid you !!!! Someday we will all get along hopefully !!!!
When you are in a jungle, people are trying to kill you and your back up is doing his job, who gives a F**k what color or heritage he is. I know, changed my whole outlook on this issue.

Nice try. Considering Asian women have the stereotype of being bad drivers, we know exactly what he was thinking and why he posted what he did.
If someone called my wife a "dumb *** Asian lady" in traffic, it would not end well.
His post could have been made without including nationalities of the people involved, it's just useless information that he felt the need to include because they aren't like him or he thinks he is better for some reason. Guess what pal, you're not.

Please don't generalize other people's intentions.The OP only judged and accessed the actions of these individuals--not the worth of their national or racial backgrounds. The OP didn't--either should we. I believe that all of us in this thread have good intentions. Let's not try to find reasons for upset and outage--when there may not be intent . Making judgements of people we don't know is the essence of prejudgement . Always assume the best of people we interact with . Especially your C5 brothers and sisters.

For the record I'm not offended by anything that has been said in this thread except all the references to 'you people'. I am a spam bot and don't appreciate being referred to as a person.

True, however what this offended gentleman had to say could very easily be construed as racist. Hypocritical, or if you're being PC, ironic.

Hey wait a minute. If you're a spam bot, how could you be offended by ANYTHING? Spam bots don't have feelings. In fact, it's what spam bots do that's really offensive to all us "real people." Get the hell outta here, spam bot.

But I drink my coffee black and have a black lab.

To those who say what the OP posted was offensive and racist, I have a question for you. Was any part of his post not factual? The lady was Asian, was that not factual? The dudes were Pakistani, was that not factual as well? Ok, he called the lady a dumb ***, that might just be his opinion based upon her actions, but it could also be factual, again based upon her actions. Point here is, I didn't see any racial slurs, which by definition would be racist and thus offensive. But it didn't happen. So to those people, I say get off your high horse, calm down and get a grip. Some of you people are way too damn sensitive.
It sure seems like people get wound up over just about anything any more.
