Sorry, no can do.
It helps to know it was moved to the Pit after being posted somewhere mostly harmless (I’m guessing MPSIMS). That threw me too, but on reflection it’s just very dry Swedish wit (did you know that Ingmar Bergmann is considered the Mel Brooks of Sweden?) Pretty humorous, if you’ve ever been the woman in a similar situation and seen the look on the respectable white guy’s face. Perhaps not if you’ve been the white guy.
If you think I’m scary, I’m doing something right. I feel good today.
Depends on what you mean by ‘racial commentary’. I don’t think calling someone who looks Arabic a “would-be plane hijacker” falls under any reasonable definition of ‘commentary’, however. That’s racist no matter how you look at it (assuming you want to look at it, of course).
Well, I think Monty Python is hilarious for the most part, especially Life of Brian. People can find things funny without finding everything funny, and just because someone doesn’t find a certain thing funny doesn’t mean they don’t find anything funny. Humans, even lefties, are fairly complex creatures, despite your best efforts to ignore that fact.
No, actually. The tone of the OP was clearly tongue-in-cheek, mocking the racist sensibilities you’re accusing him of.
I came across a pair of white suspenders in a box of my old clothes. I don’t know if that means I am a racist or if I was a racist.
What if the tram is on a treadmill?
Lame, I know, but Olentzero has already derailed this thread.
It was the dorky jacket.
I’m Indian, and I have a shoe.
I did indeed google Manchester jacket and got no hits for Manchester Uniter Jackets. I got this:
I did see some Nike gear with the MU logo on it-none of it looking disreputable in the least (it looks expensive but casual to me).
It’s obvious: attractive woman gets on tram, notices 2 men and then sits alone. She’s a lesbian! Duh!
Irony is a dangerous weapon in untrained hands. Dude failed miserably.
This shit was off the rails right out of the station. I bear no responsibility for your inability to come up with a stronger joke.
More than likely you were just at the forefront of '80s fashion, nothing more.
Oh no it’s a terrorist shoe thrower! Run! cause it really stings, you know!
She likes swarthy, uncut men with hummus on their breath, and she was concerned your noticeable spare tire would interfere with your ability to insert your penis into her as deeply as she requires for maximum penetration and pleasure.
Well… don’t blame me, you wanted to know.
I figure she probably mistakenly assumed the OP was a liberal. 
If he was wearing that thing and it was, I don’t know, eighty or so degrees, no wonder she sat elsewhere.
@astro: Would it be too pedantic to mention that if he was Arab, he was probably cut?
No, you’re doing something very, very wrong. You’re lumping real racists in wih people who are using humor to mock racism, people who are very bit as anti-racist as you but don’t have a pole stuck up their ass and an attitude of holier-than-thou.
And I’m sure you feel good about yourself every day. People like you always do, it must be that smug sense of superiority which comes across loud and clear in your posts. Read Holy Willie’s Prayer by Burns, you’ll feel as if you were peering into a mirror.
And…?
[sub]If this is a whoosh, it’s the most pointless one I’ve ever come upon. Is it pro-racist? Anti-racist? Is it simply steam of conscious? Help us out here, Stoneburg[/sub]
So, did she and the arab guy chat? Get off at the same stop? Otherwise, not a very exciting story.
The thread as a whole, though, is reasonably entertaining so far.
Hell, I’m a fairly mild-looking guy, and completely harmless, yet I’ve seen women cross the street when they see me approaching.
Even if one assumes that (at best) this post is a whoosh, what is the point of even beginning a thread like this?
Great example of this: heckler at comedy show gets offended by comedian using examples of racism to mock racism. (And he tells her to “get fucked”, which is a great response IMO.)
