to what extent should you hold people from other cultures to ideas of racism found in your own culture?

or at least go as one of the other three ghostbusters

the apt term wd be 'seppo cunt', michael

You know how Brazilian players are wont to give themselves nicknames? It would be awesome to see an American player put 'Seppo' on his shirt.

I heard the old version on the playground, but never heard it again until Pulp Fiction came out.

I wonder what the FA would have done if Suarez had spent the entire game calling him a "frog", though.

Or "frogbs"! Would've meant a life-long ban iirc

Frogbs too difficult to say

whenever someone is getting called out for appropriating native american culture the racist person ends up whining "but i'm honoring your beautiful culture! (by painting my face random colors and wearing a dollar store war bonnet)

Claiming an action is respectful in one's culture is just that, a claim. If there isn't any evidence to back it up, then it's a bogus claim. I do not see any objective evidence that western cultures do honor to non-western native cultures by dressing in dime store caricatures of their clothing on random occasions.

However, if that same person were to make a sustained effort, on a daily basis, to adopt native american dress, to learn native american customs and traditions from native american elders and to follow those traditions in a spirit of humility, regardless of the taunts and jibes he'd have to live with constantly, then you'd at least have to give him credit for trying, even if the results were less than sparkling.

no, because the first person is dressing up once and the other is insane

but insane in a highly respectful manner

i'd wager it would be more respectful to accept a certain uncrossable gulf that cannot be bridged by effort or rhetoric, and it seems both people in your example do not accept this.

I'm trying to remember if we sang "catch a n***** by the toe" as kids, like really little kids, because we sure as hell didnt sing "catch a tiger" - thats something I only learned/heard in my early teens from american TV shows, so. Maybe we said "catch a tigger"? I really cant recall! I jst feel very weird thinking I ever used that word unknowingly ergh.

avoid fancy dress, basically
