It sucks to pick out one form of "prejudice" (I laugh at that term) as more offensive than another. If you're going to put the smack down about anti-semitism, don't you have to do the same for any type of "niggaplz" or "ORRY?" comments. It's all the same right?

Really, from watching posts it's pretty easy to tell who's being out-and-out racist, and who's making a joke (even those in poor taste). If there isn't going to be any active moderation where judgment is important, why not just put these offensive terms into the profanity filter?

So we can make fun of gays and women, and probably most religions as well, but races/ethnicities are off limits? Except white people because it's ok to make fun of them.

The manatees are very unhappy...

this is stupid.

racism is funny, ffs. even if someone were to post some (semi-)serious racist stuff, ridicule of such scale would follow, that it would make it worth bbv's while. and it should definitely be ok when its used in jest or just so ridiculously over the line that it cant possibly be taken seriously any more.

generic "burn the jews" or whatnot comment - not funny, ban-worthy even, just for lameness. the "poker rooms deal bad beats to blacks"-thread a few months ago and the preposterous stuff that followed - hall of fame level funny.

for how long will alwaysair+shovel jokes be allowed?

Please PLEASE explain why "nigga please" or even "knee grow please" or anything else like that is ok (it's been posted several times in this thread).

in vegas a taxi driver told me once: "everybody is a racist. everyone hates someone for something...".
he also said: "asian girls have a tight vagina!".
