Baka Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 You're not going to get a multiparagraph response from me. Other users and (most importantly) the mods did not think a thread about the first Chinese-born player to be drafted was an appropriate place to spam Asian stereotypes. Though not always true (cough cough BB) Mods are mainly just meant to reflect the majority. Aka if the crowd reports something a lot they will please the majority. I get why they deleted it (this is the internet and a board meant to be family friendly despite the lax on common sense) I am mainly just addressing what you said specifically. You made it sound as if stereotype comedy is always very offensive and unfunny. When in reality it is normal and often something funny. It isnt an attack it is called having sense of humor. Anyone with any self awareness would know this wasnt a racist statement xD I will post a JKF video to show what this was like. I truly feel like most people who got offended by that werent even Asian just white people going... Gee that seems racist and I am not insensitive =D How often do you get an Asian joke in hockey? It was clever. Props to the guy who posted it despite those acting like he is Hitler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FieuqTlpv9w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruletherink Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Paul Kariya, Steve Kariya, Jim Paek, Richard Park, Devin Setoguchi, Yutaka Fukufuji, Brandon Yip, Dave Tanabe, Jamie Storr, Peter Ing, Matthew Dumba...guys of Asian descent or Asian/white combo that have made it to the show. There's probably more, but I can't think of any at this time. Manny Malholtra... (asia is really big) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Whaaaat? A child prodigy AND a hockey player? That's just craziness. Edit: Nevermind, Philips Andover Academy call their college students "post graduate" Cory Schneider went there, right? Prestigious school only for the privileged.

Dr. Crossbar Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nhl/andong-song-becomes-1st-chinese-player-taken-in-nhl-draft/ar-AAcepLB?srcref=rss Not the first east Asian player, but the first born outside of N America. I'm sure islander owner had something to do with it. But the story is cool. Where else do you send ur kids to go learn hockey? Canada. This is good for hockey, get more popular globally. China is a huge market, NHL can sell all kinds of stuff. TV rights to merchandise. Not too long ago, Canucks had trainers there for a kids hockey camp. If China gets the winter olympics they will get even more kids playing, since host team automatically qualifies. Big audience may influence NHL to send their players...one can only hope. Where is this east Asia place you speak of? Is it east of Asia or east within Asia? Can you explain exactly how east Asia is different and relevant?

Jaimito Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Where is this east Asia place you speak of? Is it east of Asia or east within Asia? Can you explain exactly how east Asia is different and relevant?Far east, in traditional terms, oriental. I prefer the latter, but some people are offended by it and I don't want to get banned here. It is only relevant here because he is being touted as the first Asian born player to be drafted which is not accurate. Last time I checked, Siberians in Russia are Asians. So is India, Israel, etc. Asian doesn't mean anything, since there are over 46 countries in it, and it is the largest continent. India, Siberia, the middle east are all in Asia. Even Kim Kardashian is Asian, since Armenia is technically in Asia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_in_Asia I also dislike the term African American when Americans refer to black people who were descendents of their slave trade. Not all Africans are black, and the ones that they are referring to were there for many generations. Otherwise they should start calling all whites in the US as European Americans. That's just silly.
