Well, yeah, it was just a rhyme and not a very brilliant one. As for herring, I do love it and I eat a lot of it.

Posted by: Facto on Feb 06, 20:45 in response to RogerMore's post Let's try that again - it's clearly stereotyping, but...

I associate rice more with Indo China and China than with Japan, although they do also use it a lot, not least with their sushi - but so do we, here in Oslo.

So of course, it was a harmless, not very stellar rhyme, and nothing more (and no deeper intent to it) than that.

Like Miami Vice - but with lots more rice! {nm} Facto Feb 06, 10:56

LOL ! {nm} erhead56 Feb 06, 11:02

it's funny because Asians like to eat a lot of rice! {nm} charlie Feb 06, 11:06

Facto was funny. You're just consistently annoying. {nm} erhead56 Feb 06, 12:00

racial stereotypes are funny? charlie Feb 06, 12:03

Your statement was more racial when you explained why it was funny. {nm} erhead56 Feb 06, 12:19

one of us was being facetious {nm} charlie Feb 06, 12:24

Pointing out use of a racial stereotype is more racial than using one in an attempted joke? {nm} RogerMore Feb 06, 12:32

It could have been mistaken as a racial statement the way it was written, but I take no side in this one. Sometimes pennystocks2 Feb 06, 12:52

I find it incredibly weird that rice in Japan is considered a "racial stereotype". On what planet? It's a fact, plain and simple. Facto Feb 06, 16:39

It's clearly stereotyping, but thereès a difference between RogerMore Feb 06, 18:32

Let's try that again - it's clearly stereotyping, but there's a difference between stereotyping and being offensive. RogerMore Feb 06, 18:43

I made a random rhyme and now there's a racial sensitivity debate going on? I believe Tokyo citizens remain unoffended by my post. Facto Feb 06, 13:05

I found your rhyme funny, never once thought about racial implications. I thought charlie was. My mistake, and erhead56 Feb 06, 13:16

Nah, not your mistake, (I'd say.) {nm} Facto Feb 06, 16:34

Agreed. You can't use the word rice without someone playing the race card. {nm} clusterxxxx Feb 06, 16:43
