    I find it funny.
    Pretty much. They are always doing stuff like this, nothing new.
    English is not my main language so grammar errors might happen.

    I'm just questioning your logic. You think racism is about skin color differences, it's not.

    South Park is one of the most irreverent series of all time. Doing something like this is par for the course for them. Anyone who is angry over it is obviously not a fan of the show which means the people bitching about it are triggered snowflakes who wouldn't have ever bought the game anyway....so who the hell cares what they think?

    It's because the wiki says race is "a grouping based on shared physical traits, ancestry, or genetics", therefore, not about skin color. You just have to completely ignore that the primary dividing lines in race is skin color, or to call it what it really is, mental gymnastics to make your weak point seem more valid than what it is.

    Arguing semantics is proof positive of insincerity and malice. It's a pseudo-intellectual troll attempt to stir shit up by defining entire words in the least used ways.

    I'm seeing some in this thread. But it's mostly arguments against each other and not at South Park.

    It is. Of course Asians can experience racism, too. And most people would say that Asians are colored people. So what's your point? Nevermind that none of your examples were racist, but I'm used to that.

    She gave a life experience as an exemple of what she first said, that racism isn't always about skin color. Which you asked her to explain, and she did. But if she gave a fictional but possible exemple you would have came back with some other reason to undermine her cuz you think you're right when you're actually wrong.

    Racism is rarely based on the skin color, it's much deeper and much more complicated, usually a cultural thing, but the first thing we see is the physical visual difference and we think that's it.

    The first people to enslave Africans didn't go there and be like "lol their skin so dark, they'll make good workers that I won't pay". They got there, saw how behind they were technologically and saw an opportunity to take advantage of it. Fast forward several years in America, now there's less and less and eventually no more (or almost) slavery and they try to integrate in society. But the people who always felt superior now felt insulted that they had to share their good life with them.

    It's easy to differentiate by skin color, but that was never the reason for racism.

    This is an astute point that is undeniable. Prepare to be mocked and called a racist. They will never accept any deviation from their narratives.

    To add to this, when people say "White" most times they mean Western people.

    Yeah, I gotta say this is probably the whole point. It doesn't make combat harder, but you're at a marked social disadvantage that grows more stark the darker your character gets--you earn less, people treat you with hostility, and if your character selects 'transgender' you get jumped as soon as word gets out. This is a really strange line to draw in the sand and say, "This is too far," with South Park's take-no-prisoners approach to social issues, especially systemic racism and the sort of shit non-white people deal with on a daily basis.

    That being said, the only outrage I've seen about this has mostly been manufactured by journalists looking for clicks and the sort of fringe nut who cites Redpill as a source when discussing social issues.
    Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!

    So what if they would? I'm as pale as many white people.

    So unless you're beaten to a bloody pulp it's not racist?

    So needless to say the usual suspects scream racism and the rest of the people just think its hilarious.
    Whats your stance on this move? Is it a lighthearted joke about the struggle of coloured people or full blown racism?
    The only time Southpark has ever offended me was when Comedy Central blurred out Mohamed in a bear suit.

    Then why is a term like "redskin" considered racist? Why does it happen to be the case that people of different skin color are discriminated against? Why isn't it considered racism when British people say bad things about Americans, or Germans about the Dutch?

    What the fuck are you talking about? Black people aren't a race? So we can't be racist towards black people? This is just plain nonsense.

    I feel sorry for any of them born in Africa, they usually get murdered and a lot of times tortured...

    You are still considered a colored person. White people aren't really white either. We're beige.

    It has to be a little bit more hateful than asking you about your eyes or telling you that they find you attractive. If someone says your race is inferior and deserves to be wiped out, that's racist. Everything else nowadays that is being called racist really isn't.
