Dude, I know you like to claim you’re just a regular guy, but if you want to post [racist commentary](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=591326), you’re on the wrong Message Board. WTF did you think posting this in GQ: > [@](#): > > So those wacky little guys who brought you Pearl Harbor… Wacky “little” guys? Hardee har har. Then, when you get called on it, and have your thread move to GD, you’re comeback is this: > [@](#): > > Your reflexive reaction to my joking characterization of the Yellow Peril (another joke?) Look, I don’t like Japanese (or Norwegian) whaling. But do you really think the people who bombed Pearl Harbor are the ones doing the whaling? No, you’re racist comments are not “lead pipe cinches factually”. ---

Godwinizing doesn’t help. When I read the original thread it struck me as a pretty silly racial/national jab, but meh. I’m not sure that I’d have (or you would have) had the same response if it was something about BP and the comment was “From the same folks who brought the world, British dentistry, now we’ve got British deep sea oil extraction.” The ‘yellow peril’ line makes me think the original bit was a bit more racist than racial in intent, however. But still, being an 88’er is a pretty far cry from simply having some racist sentiments. ---

Once again, **Sage Rat** has expressed my view far more succinctly yet with a level of persuasiveness and expressiveness that I cannot match on my best day. ---

**Sage Rat’s** analysis is well thought out and to the point. Brilliant reasoning and concise writing. He’s a credit to this board. ---

99% of the time that spelling error occurs in the other direction. “Your retarded!” “My retarded what?” Carry on. ---

I technically disagree with **Sage Rat**. Huerta technically **is** an 88. ---

Were **Huerta** ’s 88 actually in the Hitleric zone, he’d surely be allied with the people he is stereotyping via the Tripartite Pact. IOW, what **sage rat** said. ---

If **Huerta88** isn’t a neonazi “88” type, then why did he assassinate **Sage Rat** in mid-post? **Sage Rat** was clearly going to tell us the Truth about him, and had to be silenced. ---

**Sage Rat** ’s post is so accurate, that to say that it was not would constitute a grave error in perception. ---
