You might not find it funny but what is racist about it?

I, too, failed to see the racism. Maybe you need to spell it out for us...

Roger,
Where to begin with you. First off, If I was a native Chinese or
any other race on this planet it would make me no more or no
less valuable or authoritative. I think its funny how you and many
others go around calling people Chinese. What exactly are you
implying and why do you ask? Are you a racist too? As to your
question, I dont think the answer matters.

Secondly Roger, I am sorry that the use of the sentance,
"The object of the story is supposedly H'mong." confused you.
I should have used the word "person", I apologize. I have been
studying philosophy and computer science for the last five years
and the word "object" is almost universally understable in that
lingo to replace virtual or real people, places or things. I realize
however that concept is not common.

'You're a mong' is kind of a tame playground insult in England; if you were to be offended by it (on the playground), your overreaction would probably be met with, 'Don't (h)ave (a)n eppy!'

I'm not sure about the exact origin but saloc is probably right.

I thank you for your long detailed critique amounting to nearly three paragraphs in regard to the one sentence I wrote in a previous post. By the time I'm teaching next year and have a few hundred more posts I am sure you guys will have me in top form. For the record I claim no extended mastery of the English language and only pointed out the OP�s mistakes because it was after all him who started this line of attack.

I do however disagree with a variety of points in your critique. As I mentioned I do have an extensive background in both computer science and philosophy. While they do have separate lingo�s in the case of the word �object�, people educated in either discipline would be able to relate to the meaning I put forth and in the manner I described, not as a matter of opinion but as a matter of fact. I suggest you consult Plato�s Theory of Forms or Aristotle�s The Four Causes. As for computer science, the dominant programming method for the last ten years is OOP, object orientated programming. It is clear to me you have no education in either discipline and wonder why you would take on the task of arguing a point that has already been apologized and explained for, other then to pick a fight. Kudos though for your ability to do so with out making an outright personal attack, that puts you in a rare bracket around here.

Finally to restate my position, the original poster, is still in the wrong coming to an ESL site to propagate cartoons with racist themes, or to attack someone with a learning disibility. Further, I am glad a moderator deleted his pornography cartoon post/link. If this is your interest there are no end to sites (YES ON THE INTERNET, I AM SORRY I DIDN�T ADD �TO THE INTERNET� I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET THE GIST OF THINGS) to visit that will give you what you are looking for.
