I usually respond violently to holocaust jokes.

Biblically to Bible jokes.

and comically to stereotype jokes.

Oh yeah. Big time. One or two times were you just crush the guy.

I had two encounters: first I ended of slamming a guy's head in a locker door until he was knocked out, and the second was me wrapping a belt around his neck and calling him my new dog.

I don't want to patronise and tut tut people who resorted to violence in response to bullying; but this is not good advice.

Yeah, I'd try to tell a consoler or principle, and try to work out the issue. Or go for the old fashioned stay away from meanie approach.

I guess I would react with "Really? Whose time machine did you steal?" but then I'm a cracker in a pretty multicultural area where that kind of naked blatant racism isn't all that normal. Or I just think that because I walk around being a white guy all the time and get to be blissfully ignorant of these kinds of things.

Probably a mix of the two.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Gotta love when some kid whines to NS and gets a stream of white knights, armchair liberals, and self-aggrandizing "violent" or "witty" debonairs who reply with fists or wit with amazing alacrity over the internet all the while bearing a "United States sucks because some guy was mean to me in it" attitude.

I feel the urge to reiterate that you shouldn't get violent. Often these types of morons will use you getting violent to justify their behavior.

Aren't you witty and observant. I'm sure everyone here will love you and you'll be a welcome member of the community in no time.

If the US sucks because some guy is mean in it, the entire world must be a giant shit hole. :p

I was white in a predominantly white town in England, so racism wasn't an issue for me, and now I'm white in an exceedingly multicultural city in Canada, so racism still isn't an issue for me. I wouldn't know how to respond.
  • No, I'm not Korean. I'm British and as white as the Queen's buttocks.
  • Bio: I'm a PhD student in Statistics. Interested in all sorts of things. Currently getting into statistical signal processing for brain imaging.

This will not be the greatest tragedy in the world or anything, but this will more than likely get the thread locked.

I've been similarly insulted.

Deal with it. Some people are jackasses. Tattling because of name-calling is rarely the best course of action. Just role with it. So some people called you a word because they find it offensive and want to hurt you. Be better than them. Love yourself, and don't care about the opinion of those that would hate you for no reason.
