Not a huge thing, there's still a pandemic going on, after all. I went dressed as Kareem Abdul Jabar(just his jersey I've had for like 15 years, and some yellow basketball shorts I picked up), and pretty much everyone at this get together(every single person was Mexican, I was the only non Mexican there) was telling me that I should've dressed up as Yao Ming. Now, most people here should know this, but I'm Asian. So they were basically saying that Asians should dress up Asians only? I didn't really think much of it, but some of my coworkers and friends have been telling me that those comments were pretty racist. So what do you people think? Do you agree with me in thinking that it's not really a big deal, or do you people think it was actually pretty racist? --- People come up to me... concerned.. that I'll reproduce." - Emo Philips <cite>lihlih posted [p:959774247] in Do you peo...

Do you agree with me in thinking that it's not really a big deal, or do you people think it was actually pretty racist? I don't see how telling someone to dress up as someone because they can pull it off better than their current costume as being racist. I mean ANYONE can dress up as any character or person they want so it's not limited to race. It seems some of your coworkers and friends are just being offended for the sake of it.

Criminalt 11/08/21 11:42:08 AM #28:	lihlih posted... pretty much everyone at this get together(every single person was Mexican, I was the only non Mexican there) was telling me that I should've dressed up as Yao Ming. Maybe when they said "should have", they just meant you could've pulled off Yao Ming better than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Which maybe you could have -- even if you didn't want to, because what actually mattered to you more was playing one of your heroes. But maybe they thought they were giving you a great suggestion in case what you cared about was looking the part. Maybe "should have" didn't really mean, "stick to your own kind and know your place" after all.
