just saying, wikipedia is a horrible source to quote,it's edited by anyone,using wikipedia just makes your points seem worse,it's not much of a valid source

Yes, I noticed people have been giving you sh*t about your comment and making a much bigger deal of it than you intended to. That's the beauty of Youtube dialogue (/sarcasm): trying to make a point will often get you seventeen negative votes and a couple of insults. But I agree with you that telling someone "hey, you just used a racist word there" is NOT the equivalent of saying "oh my god you are such a racist person you do not deserve to live I hate you I hate you".

I know exactly what you mean. I wasn't offended when I heard it being used, I was just surprised that it was. All I wanted to do was simply point out that it IS a very offensive word to some Japanese people. I didnt say "OMG THEY SAID A RACIST WORD WA WA WA I HATE THE IT CROWD" did I? :/ But people somehow thought I was making a big deal about it, when in fact, I wasn't trying to.I know they weren't intending to offend anybody.

Racist or not, I think we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that it's Denholm Renholm who uses the word. I mean, 99% of his lines are either obnoxious or plain stupid - or both! So it would be in-keeping with his character to use a racist slur, and it wouldn't necessarily mean that the IT Crowd's writers are racist, quite the opposite.

>theOdd1Yes, I think I can speak English better than ordinaly Japanese. Just like this movie, although Mr. Yamamoto is a VIP of big Japanese company, he can't speak even English.

That was some good information. Are you fluient in english language?

I'm a Japanese. But I care the Japanese VIP named "Yamamoto" more than Jap. Obviously, Yamamoto was named after Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, who was commander of Imperial Japanese Fleet, when Japan attacked Perl Harbor. Do British know only Japanese names from Japanese Army and Navy, such as Tojo and Yamamoto? As an advice from Japanese, Tojo is a rare name, but Yamamoto is an ordinary name. And recently in Japan, most famous British name is Beckham, not Churchill. |
