...that my Kurita Warhorn is racist. Yup. Check your privilege at the door folks.

[Afuldan McKronik]

Lol what?

[Mechteric]

Did you not tell them politely they could stuff it where the Rising Sun don't shine?

[Davers]

What exactly is racist about it?

I really hope you are joking because other wise I think you need to check your passifire and blankly at the door.

I hereby call being called racist to be racist because it discriminates the racist people from the non-racist people.
Outrage!

(and yes, that, in the end, makes everyone a racist: the racist people and the non-racist people calling racists to be racists, which makes them racists themselves. So all is fine)

I'm not sure why the warhorn would be. But the Rising Sun theme on the Yen Lo Wang is certainly offensive to a lot of people, particularly Koreans.

Those of you who follow MMA religiously will remember the episode where welterweight champion GSP entered the stadium with a rising sun-motif on his gi and immediately received a public request from Korean fighter Chan Sung Jung (aka Korean Zombie) to stop showing that kind of racist imagery in public. Apparently, stuff happened during WW2 and it wasn't all good.

Well Japan kinda took over China and Korea during WWII, basically because they wanted oil. This decision is what ultimately led to the US blockade that prompted the Japanese to respond with the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese back then were still very much into "way of the samurai" type thinking. People that had been defeated but did not die an honorable death, to them, were trash and they did awful things to them like use them in insane medical experiments, as test subjects for new weapons, and even as bayonet practice. The Japan we know today is quite docile and friendly compared to the Japan that was in 1941.

I hate all humans equally and completely, which make me more racist than any racist who claims to hate only certain groups of humans. I hate the whole race, so that makes me the racistist racist.

Wouldn't that make you an inclusive racist because you are not discriminating by not leaving any one out of your hate?

Maybe there's an alien race that he doesn't hate though. Then he'd totally be just plain ol' racist.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way.....at least logically.
