AngMoh: Dun Call Me Caucasian OK?

[makapaaa]

'Caucasian, a term I dislike.'
<!-- story content : start -->DR GIL SCHNEIDER: 'At the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority I was recently asked to state my race. The lady at the counter suggested 'Caucasian', a term I dislike. In Europe, Caucasian refers to a person or language from the Caucasus region. It is mainly in the United States, however, that this terms means a person of white skin. The term has its roots in 19th-century efforts by dubious academics trying to establish race categories which are scientifically discredited and which formed the foundations of absurd Fascist and Nazi race theories. I therefore appeal to all government bodies and the public at large to drop this term and replace it with something more appropriate and less offensive. Even if it is not entirely correct, 'European' would be a better choice.'

Alamak, just call Ang Moh lah

actually the term 'ang moh' is not so technically correct. there are blondes and there are brunettes, and there also those with black hair like pipo inzaghi.

Caucasian is such a broad caterorization. Its like calling all east asians mongoloids. Using caucasian would include arabs, even east africans like ethopians, jews etc which obviously is not what wer are referring to when we mention caucasian.

How about White Trash? I think this term suits him. If he don't like what they call, he can leave Sg which also do him good.

Go to thailand, he is call farang, which also means guava. By borrowing the name from a fruit, i think it is not that offensive.

ang moh can go fuck himself. dun understand why pple feel the need to impose themselves on others. it is not as if caucasians is derogatory.

Immigration and Checkpoints Authority should not have asked for race in the first place.

he doesnt like 2b called caucasian bcos he doesnt want 2b associated with the nazi ...

and the reason - he's a jew - schneider ... not a happy american jew but an unhappy one still living in europe ...

sometimes the things an ang mo says may be puzzling to us asians eg. hate the term 'caucasian' ... but they actually have emotional baggage we're unaware of ...

and bcos they're ashamed of their emotional baggage, they don't clarify them .... instead they blame the asians for being ignorant of their ways & culture ...

he hates 2b called caucasian cos he's a hooked nose jew ... haha

 

[1sickpuppy]

Hmm.......... maybe we should tell him " A shit by any other name smell just as bad " HARHARHAR :p

 

[AhBeng]

I think we should call them "pariah dogs"...since they sometimes don't even know who is their daddy or mummy................

 

[ahbengsong]

don't like the term "angmo" literally meaning red hair... used by imperial chinese for their hair on red skin.....

ok lah... don't use 'caucasian'.. use 'cockcansian'.. ok ok ?
