OK OK you got me. This is not my own picture, but it's a friend of mine that took this when he went on vacation to Taiwan during the summer, and I had to show it here. This is a store in a Tawain shopping centre, which promotes clothes that black people are most likely to wear. There is nothing wrong with that, unless you look at the NAME OF THE STORE!! That word is not appropriate to use unless it is a black person that says it to another black person, or if a white says it jokingly to his black friend. Other than that, it is very disrespectful to use, especially in a country that probably has no black residents.

Where my niggard's at?

This is totally racist WTF . What were they thinkin

it's ok for black people to say "n i g g e r" but not for white people - now that's racist !!!

No room for ambiguity in Taiwan apparently.

In most asian countries it is normal to call a person who is dark the N word... or Negra (female) or Negro (male). It does'nt seem to be racist.

That's absolutelys shocking, but no that surprizing

wow that's some sign

:thumbsup

Yeah, isn't the litteral meaning of those words actually "black" by definition?

kneegrow?

It comes from the Spanish for Black. ( negro )

The Spaniards called the dark natives Negros they saw when they where trading with Asia during the Slik Road or Silk Route. So it goes back 100's of years and is not considered racist at all.

When I was in the Middle East for a short while they used to ask me often whether we had 'n*iggers in Australia'.

they dont fuckin speak english in taiwan so they have no idea that it is not ok . .

meh who cares. I remember when my crayons use to say "hahahahahaha Brown" and I'm not that old. I don't get all the hoopla surrounding the word.

In isreal they have a line of jeans called CRAP.. I thought that was funny

Most people there probably don't know the real meaning

Store owners probably think that word is equivalent to "bro"

That's not racist. In fact I'd consider it a compliment. It just shows that they enjoy black culture and fashion. I don't think they see it as derogatory or as a slur since they have very few black people over there. Think about the last time you saw Pulp Fiction or Shaft, they glorify the N word. Besides, they speak Chinese over there.

pretty cool

heh, great pic :thumbsup

I have a black friend that used to joke with me that it was the "GER" that was "angry" and that if us whities could just say "GA" properly without a dumb look on our face that we'd be less likely to get our ass kicked. LOL

Thats some crazy shit with a store like that!

Brad

Not until you say it to an american Black person. Then your fucked.

you have to admit that its pretty fucking funny..

lol I know it is..

lol is it a franchise? that's nuts

well i think it just depends on how the people interprets the name of the store. If their reason was "which promotes clothes that black people are most likely to wear" then, there's nothing wrong with it. well we just need a comment from a black person here. imho. :)

there was a woman in Toronto that bought a couch set that was made in Taiwan, but sold here in Canada. well when she got the couch set , she noticed on the couch tag that the colour was called hahahahahaha Brown. she happened to be black & called all the news stations. I dont think they think its a bad word

You are correct Sir, actually sad that not many know the history behind it.

lol... wtf?

Right. Its not. Its a normal word as many black people use it.

You now that tags' wrong, because the sofa isn't anywhere near the same color as she is. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :error

We haven't what her nips look like though, perhaps they're more mocha :1orglaugh

Brad

OMG!!!! what wher thy thinkin when thy thought of tht name
for a store...come on

Dont just focus on the english words, ask someone to translate the 3 chinese letters at the bottom. It means "Popular Black King" So those people think anything in terms related to the Black fashion are very popular in Taiwan. Young teens dress hiphop and listen to Rap. They think Black people are cool thats why they setup a store give it a name sell Black fashion. Because it has market's value. I dont think they use the term for insulting anyone.

Has Political Correctness replaced common sense?

Yes it fucking has!

If a 'culture' is more important that its' individuals and intent matters not, then the victim plays judge as well as jury and hang-man.

If that sign was in N America, that is a casae of bad darts.

Without even knowing what it means in that other culture, why bent out of shape?

It is only racism when there is intent to defame another,

Culture=bacteria

this has to be from 1930th or ....
oh fuck never mind

the kids today listen to the rap music

oh snapps..

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:upsidedow

Held down by the yellow man again

I hope they become a chain and open stores in the US.

fuck all the racists like minus-a-fucking-brain

its not cool to call anyone a nigga if you mean disrespect when you say it
