Eskimo pussy? Seriously?

You called?

Ach y fi!

Touché.

ETA: I’ve often wondered if FMJ had the most quotes enter into popular parlance. There are probably movies that have inspired more quotes, but they faded quickly. It’s, what, twenty years old? And I could rattle off at least a dozen quotes from the movie (and at least half a dozen from Gunnery Sergeant Hartman).

My boyfriend once told me that the Rolling Stone’s “Brown Sugar” was originally called “Black Pussy.” I did not believe him and forgot to look it up until reading the above post. And whaddaya know? :stuck_out_tongue:

I think Cat Fight’s post in that thread was spot-on satire. If I wasn’t out all day, I was going to pit Chefguy and SkipMagic for being so dense. Yes, the OP is referencing a movie, but the thread was sexist and stuipd, and I think Cat Fight made that point very well.

Well, I googled the term to confirm the usage of “snow nigger” and found out I’m an “ice nigger”

I can speak with some weight on this subject since I’ve actually banged some Eskimos (which called themselves Eskimos for fun, although the common word here is Greenlander.), and their pussies were not in the least cold. I also have an Eskimo niece, which I haven’t banged, but I’ll be sure to ask her if her pussy is cold next time I see her. Which I supposed will be Christmas evening.

Anyway I never found out if the line “I don’t know but I’ve been told. Eskimo pussy is mighty cold” was an actual Marine song, or just something made up for the movie. And what the rest of the song is.

So did you bang your brother’s wife? I remember a time when it was good form to share an Eskimo wife with guest.

You DO exist! :wink:

Sooooooooooper… you don’t mind if I just use “Canadian” when I refer to myself, eh?

Seriously? People are defending one of the most offensive threads I’ve seen on here because it comes from an offensive Army joke? Seriously? Because the Army is (apparently) full of sexist, racist assholes, this makes this funny?

I thought Cat Fight was right on, and I think it’s total bullshit that she got a warning. It’s not her fault this board is full of stupid people who don’t know sexism and racism when it bites them on the ass, people who would not only not call the original OP out but add their own offensive posts to it. Jesus Christ. I guess I wouldn’t be so fucking offended if this board didn’t like to pretend that it’s so full of smart people. There are plenty of other message boards where you can make “jokes” about women of color all you want.

Considering the racist direction some joke threads have gone in the past, I’m not entirely worried I missed one person’s questionable attempt at satire. There were better ways of making the same point–ones that would have helped explain what Cat Fight was trying to say, and ones that, absent a study of his/her posting history, wouldn’t leave me and a few others thinking that, again, we had a case of someone simply dropping yet another racist joke in a thread so as to appear bold and daring.

I can’t remember if it does, but if full metal jacket has jokes about “niggers” would you be okay with people posting them?

Claiming Inuit (or other arctic groups) “pussy” has nonhuman qualities to it is by definition dehumanizing.

Unless you’re prepared to cough up a cite some humans aren’t warm blooded endotherms.:dubious:

Yeah, I can understand that just because it was obvious to me, that it might not have been obvious to you, especially since I had already thought of Cat Fight as a feminist.

This is a myth. Eskimo men didn’t share their wives with strangers. The genesis of this myth is that an Eskimo man might exchange wives with a close friend or partner as a way to cement the relationship between the two men. I don’t know what the women thought of this arangement, but Eskimo women weren’t property and could always go back to their families.

Um. Female body parts are objects. As are any body parts.

If it were a riff off a specific incident in a movie (i.e. “Alabama black snake,” “Soul brutha too beaucoup!”, etc.), sure, why the fuck not? Such jokes, in my opinion, belie absolutely nothing about any underlying racism in the poster.

In other words, lighten up.

So, I’m guessing you’d find nothing offensive about my “I :heart: KIKES” bumper sticker?

CMC +fnord!
What I really hate is all this PC anti-PC bullshit, where people are actively hand waving offensive words away with the claim that it’s just PC bullshit.

[nitpick]It’s a cadence.[/nitpick]

I heard the “Eskimo pussy” cadence call in basic training several years before Full Metal Jacket came out, so yeah, it was real. I also learned that a green grasshopper’s got a red asshole, but I never believed the story about the monkey from the coconut grove.

Some idiot posted that bigoted glurge in great debates with no context. Even if there was context there’s still no excuse for it.
I’ve actually had people think I must be cold to the touch because I’m part Inuit. Like I’m some of kind of freak or something because fuckers like you go bleating your ignorant stupidity around.

In other words go fuck your mom, bigot.
