Of course I condemn that blatant racism. I never said Japan was perfect Jinjackass.

Do you remember FBI orange juice? I think it's still around. It was in those rectangular rounded glass jugs. Anyway, when I was a kid, my dad and I were in the supermarket and I asked him, "What's FBI stand for?" He said, "Fkn Big Indians". I thought it was pretty funny. Racist? I don't know.

Just thought I'd share that.

About the spear-carrying population of South Africa:

http://www.southafrica.info/ess_info/sa_glance/demographics/popprov.htm

"Perhaps surprisingly in a country with comparatively few major urban centres and a great deal of wide open space, slightly more than 50% of South Africa's population live in urban areas.

This is not only because of the number of rural people who have moved to towns to find work, but also because much of that open space is dry and arid."

You know what's great about the spearchucker debate? While we Western and Asian people discuss the racist implications of it, the South Africans think, "We'll carry spears if these people will pay to see us do it."

" Nearly 80 Zulu warriors wearing armbands of white goat fur and loincloths of antelope tails race down the battlefield of Isandlwana screaming and slapping their wooden clubs against their cowhide shields to rouse themselves for battle.

In the summer heat, two dozen red-coated British soldiers wait in two orderly lines, one kneeling and one standing behind. They fire and reload and fire again -- all in vain as they are surrounded, overwhelmed, clubbed to death or run through with spears.

Thousands of spectators burst into applause.

The annual January festival at Isandlwana just might be the world's most colorful combat re-enactment, though it memorializes a brutal, bloody battle in 1879 that left thousands dead in just a few hours, many in close-quarters, spear-against-bayonet fights.

"It's a story of sheer bravery on both sides, but it's hell," says Rob Gerrard, a British historian based at the Isandlwana Lodge.

... Nearly 31,000 foreign tourists come each year to the battlefields. Most are from Britain, where the sites still stir reminders of the colonial past. But other tourists come as well.

Officials in KwaZulu-Natal hope the battlefields and re-enactments will bring more tourism, creating jobs and helping to rescue the province's faltering economy.

"We want to do everything possible to use the war to put food on the table," says Gugu Ngcobo, director of the KwaZulu-Natal Arts and Culture Trust. "It is a great inheritance our ancestors left us."

.... Hundreds of Zulus showed up to participate. Many wore traditional loincloths and headbands and toted full body shields made of jackal, impala, leopard and goat skins -- though they eschewed the Zulus' barefoot tradition for sneakers.

Others, like Joseph Khanyle, 55, couldn't afford the outfit. He carried a shield and spear, but wore a red golf shirt, jeans, green sneakers and a blue baseball cap turned backward."

Where do you stay when you're there to see the spearchuckers? At the Spear Chukka, of course http://www.safarinow.com/go/SpearChukka/.
