1. "Not to get on a soapbox here, but..." = "I'm about to go off on a rant that will once again demonstrate my insensitivity to the likes of gays, lesbians, the transgender community, the mentally challenged and now the Asian-American community. And I will do it in such a way to leave no doubt that this is not any sort of 'post-racist' tongue-in-cheek humor that you've been laughing at for years, but a full-on bigotry you'll regret that you ever countenanced. But you can't call me a racist because I'm part Native American."

2. I think it could be found offensive if the song wasn't SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT ASIAN PEOPLE. Grow up, the dude sings songs about being too old to be useful and shallow patriotism, he's not winning the Nobel himself. It's only by stroke of luck that he's even allowed to breathe the same air as Nobel nominees, all you're doing is cementing rednecks against your culture. Rednecks are seriously not smart enough to differentiate their own feelings from those of their idols. Please, save yourself from their fury and STFU.

3. Toby Keith ought to be smacked down just for being Toby damn Keith.
   
   And that's the prettiest girl you've had on this site in a long time.

4. I love the first scene in "Street Kings" which is perfect for this occasion:
   
   Asian: Yo dawg.
   Keanu Reeves: Konnichiwa.
   Asian: What?
   Keanu Reeves: Konnichiwa. Konnichiwa. It means what's up. So what the fuck's up?
   Asian: Konnichiwa is Japanese. It's insultin' to Koreans.
   keanu Reeves: How am I supposed to tell if you can't?
   Asian: Fuck's that supposed to mean, white boy?
   Keanu Reeves: It means you got eyes like apostrophes, you dress white, talk black, and drive Jew. So how am I supposed to know what kind of zipperhead dog-munching dink you are if you don't?
   Asian: Yo. D'you know who the fuck we are?
   Keanu Reeves: Yeah. You're a couple panheads buyin' a machine gun out of a trunk.

5. Ok, here is what I don't understand: why would you invite an angry, war loving redneck to a Nobel peace prize function?

6. That chick is yummy. I'd eat that like dog meat stew.

7. #4 you're an idiot.

   By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 04:51:52

8. Bah. #4 is a genius. I don't generally dig some of the small minded crap that comes off this site (mostly the gay and trans stuff) but seriously, I think that if we're at the point where we are going to start jumping on people for making squinty eyes, then we're pretty much done with the problem. Nobody yells at Renee Zellweger for making that face all the time.

10. #4, that was funny as hell don't listen to #7.

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 05:12:01

11. I'd like to know the same thing as #5. Was Ted Nugent their first choice or something?

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 05:18:06

12. Hahah, PLEASE. What Toby did was not smart and not nice at all. To be offended by that is fine by me. But to say " It says I don't care about my Asian fans" AHAHAHA NO ASIAN person LISTENS to TOBY KEITH. GIVE ME A BREAK. If you are asian and DO listen to Toby Keith thats cool but you are the only one.

15. Toby Keith blows. Country music is music for people afraid of real music.

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 06:39:45

16. People are just looking for excuses to be "offended". Everyone just wants to harass white people out of their own racist hatred. Asian people racially mock us you know but they do it in their language so we don't know what they're saying. Except me, because I speak Mandarin fluently so Yes Mr. Chen I know you're mocking me when I place my order. Asshole.

17. #16, YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT!!!

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 07:12:04

18. Ha, 16 is not an idoit. My ex-boyfriend is Chinese and "looked" American (even though he was FULL chinese) by Chinese werid racist standards so they would speak Cantonese in front of him like he didn't speak it. They talked bad about everyone around them.

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 07:46:28

19. how's bout a picture of bunch of asians making their eyes wide open round with painted red necks,
    and some with bigass afros with lips sticking out like gorillas. that should even this out, no?

20. I love Asians, they taste great!

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 08:06:02

21. oh no there is racism on the internet

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 08:11:29

22. And I guess when minority people call whites "rednecks", "whitetrash" and "crackers" that doesn't constitute racism huh? Where's the European American council against defamation on that one? Oh, that's right, white people aren't allowed to complain when people are racist towards them. Real fair guys.

27. #24 and #26 -- Best. Comments. Ever!

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 10:04:39

28. Isn't it funny how the most pissed off stick-up-his(her?)-butt responder is the first poster? What kind of d-bag tracks flippant conversation he knows he hates and races to be the first one to whine about it?
    
    And for the record #1, your entire post demonstrated how racist & bigoted you are. "Post-racist" means we don't look at people for their racial or sexual orientations, we look at the idea being discussed, etc. But you, as every other leftist who claims to embrace "post-racial times", curiously only see people as...
    
    gays, lesbians, the transgender community, the mentally challenged and now the Asian-American community
    
    As opposed to looking at them as Americans, or people, or in some cases, overly sensitive, divisive, wind-bags.
    
    Grow up, douche

29. Toby Keith is big and dumb.

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 11:04:27

30. Wasn't cool of Toby to do that, but I don't think that means he doesn't care about Asian fans. I think most of us sometimes make out-of-pocket jokes/remarks sometimes that can be insensitive or inappropriate, but that's not always racism.
    
    Also @22, I actually agree with you. I'm black myself, but I don't use words like that because even though guys like Jeff Foxworthy use them in self-deprecating humor, I'm just really not comfortable with it, as I know some people find it really offensive. I can't ask people to respect me if I don't give them the same respect.

31. I guess the miss the irony of calling "racist" a white country singer sharing a stage with a bla- ummm.... African-American singer.

    By Rick, on December 16, 2009 12:27:42

32. If your mom made her, wouldn't that make her your sister? Are you saying you would eat out your sisters hooha because if that's what you're saying and you happen to live in a place where that's legal, can you tell me where that is because my sister and I would like to know... allegedly.

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 12:43:05

33. Give me a break, Asians in general are some of the most racist people around. Many Chinese and Vietnamese people hate blacks. I know because I talk to many of them.
    Cry me a river and STFU!

34. Toby KICKS ASS!!!!!!

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 15:04:27

35. Make fun of asian - OK
    
    Making reference to black culture if you're not black - RACIST

    By anonymous, on December 16, 2009 15:37:53

36. *jumps up and applauds Todd*
    
    This "reverse racism" that permeates society, to put it mildly, just gives me the shits. I don't care what colour you are, whether you're black as night, eat a few more noodles than I do or as pasty white as I am when I couldn't get a tan to save my life (don't I sound attractive now). Aboriginal students here have a lower pass rate at university. When they're studying medicine, I have a problem with that. Yet if I, in all my pastiness, got the same treatment, that would be "racism".
    
    Asian American society...I would love to see the reaction if there was a White American society that celebrated "white pride" (as distinct from the KKK, mind you).

37. Aint nothing racist about the truth. Chinks suck!

38. The person who writes this site and the people who read it are idiots. I would call you all racist, but I don't think your brain cells are oriented enough in one direction to deserve an ideology.

    By not reading this stuff anymore, on December 17, 2009 07:12:57

39. #38 defending one's self against harassment is not racism. White people are constantly being picked on for every little thing and a lot of us are getting sick of it. Minority people are not morally superior, many of them are quite racist, so much so that whites are afraid to drive through their neighborhoods out of fear of racial attack. Why don't people like you ever complain about that? Why is it ok to be violently racist towards whites but if a white person does something silly they have people like you screaming? Don't you see how out of whack your thought process is?

    By Think about it!, on December 17, 2009 07:33:59

40. So Toby Keith making slanted eyes is defending himself against harassment?
    
    I am against racism in all forms. Racism against black people, against asians, against white people as well. Because racism exists against white people doesn't make it ok for white people to turn around and be racist towards others. By that coin, I should freely make racist remarks against all white people and black people as I have experienced SO MUCH racism throughout my life from people in both groups.
    
    You should see how white people feel when they visit Hawaii. It's really funny watching them process people being not nice to them or making racist remarks...they CAN'T BELIEVE IT, THEY ARE SO OUTRAGED. What you all don't know is that is a minority's regular experience in America. We usually just think, well, that individual that made the comment is ignorant, and we move on.
    
    Toby Keith making slanted eyes at a Nobel Peace Prize event celebrating diversity is not a silly little thing. By that same coin, casually mentioning the N word is also a silly little thing. Why are you even trying to defend it? It's ludicrous. Do you have to stand by Toby Keith just because he's white and you're white? We're not in a race war, dude. (or at least, I hope not, lol!)
