Note: this is very related to cruel and unsual, but that thread has lost it's subject so i decided it would be more efficient to start a new one.
After my team tennis season ended, ive been going to my dad's mixed double games in ALTA to cheer him on. Today was no different. I went to the game, and it wasnt starting good. my dad and his partner were losing 0-3 (sets to 6 2 out of 3). My dad asks me a question in chinese, i answer, and the opponent walks over to me. he then starts yelling at me and accusing me of illegal coaching in a different language and tells me to leave. after a second when i hadnt budged he screamed LEAVE!!!!
i walked away, very mad at him. my dad, who was very pissed that his son couldnt harmlessy watch him play tennis, won 12 games in a row to win the match 6-3 6-0.
in the end i was VERY mad at the man but didnt call him racist or anything.
Please vote whether u think this man was racist or just paranoid that i was coaching. do not vote anything just to spite me, or i will neg you (this is SERIUS)

I voted paranoid, I think the man was racked up in his tennis match and didn't want your father to gain an unfair advantage that he could not understand.
I once took pictures of my friend's pole vaulting match. I took a cool picture of him airborne directly over the bar. I showed him the picture and the judge screamed "no photo review!", then asked me to leave. I think my case is simular to yours, because they were sporting events where private converse was misunderstood to be cheating.
I think it is just a paranoid sports thing to keep things fair for all competitors.

I doubt the man was racist. He simply didn;t want your father having an unfair advantage of being coached without officials or the other side understanding what is being discussed.
Kreator
07-22-2006, 12:25 PM
I think both. He's just paranoid that you may cheat, but also maybe a bit racist. Maybe he was just mad about something else or having a bad day and you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In no way do I approve of what the man did, but I think he was just being uptight. He may have went too far becuase it's only a tennis match. I play tennis and even then, anything you told him couldn't effect his game dramatically because he's old enough to understand what to do. I think he may have went too far, but I don't think he did it just because of the way you spoke/the language you spoke. If your dad is playing in a league you he may want to go to the commissener/person in charge and make him aware of what happened.

I see no racism there at all.
It makes sense that he would question what you were saying, since he obviously doens't speak Chinese. But he shouldn't have kicked you out. Sure, you did nothing wrong, but he couldn't have known that. It's slightly paranoid, but not that much. Although you're only 14, you never know what the guy was thinking. But I really don't see racism there.
For those of you saying it's racism: The same thing would have happened to me if I was phoenix and someone quietly asked me a question in English. If the guy couldn't hear it, he wouldn't know what was going on. I'd probably be asked to leave too. There probably would have been some sort of racial slur thrown in there if he was a racist.
You can't label everyone's actions against a minority group as racist. I hate when people do that, and it happens all of the time.

Pheonix... You're upset cuz he was an asshole, and you're trying you best to reason through WHY he was an asshole. You can to the conclusion of racism, when the fact is there is no reason at all.
I would imagine if you were the same race as him but used sign language, you would have gotten the exact same result. What happened was you clearly both knew english, and purposely used a secondary language. From his point of view, it was taken as you trying to hide something. He was stupid for assuming that. However, you shouldn't jump to assumptions of racism either.
It sucks, I understand why he upset you, you have every right to be hurt but... it just wasn't racism.

07-23-2006, 04:38 AM
I have to agree with the general concensus here. I don't see it as being racists, I see it either he was paranoid or the fact that you used another language in front of him just pissed him off. Either way he was an ass, and good to hear your father kicked ass. What right did this guy have to make you leave anyhow? Sorry, I'm not too intelligent when it comes to tennis.

illegal coaching in a different language ..?...
Is illegal coaching not illegal coaching regardless of the language?.
Of course this had a serious element of racism in it,and pretending other-wise is helping no one.
..Comes along with the fact of an adult freaking out over a childs' words to his father.
Over-competitive my ass.
What makes you even think he was racist?
He's not calling you racial slurs...From what you are telling us he seems to be more worried about a tennis match...nothing more.

You should have laughed in his face, told him to f--- himself, and continued to watch. If he persisted, I'd have used a line such as "I'm talking to my FATHER in my LANGUAGE, asshole. Got a problem with that? MAybe i'll bust out some KUNG FU on your ass" (yes I know not all asians know kungfu...but people who make snap judgements are stupid, and a lot of said people assume that they do)
If he still inisted on being an ass, I'd have spit in his face and given him the finger.
It's fine to want a fair game. But there is a line you dont cross. You are family, and you werent cheating in any way. Therefore, he was ignorant and deserved to get kicked in the face.

I mean that's pretty much the world these days, you don't get your day ruined everytime some asshole decides to yell at you. Hell if that's what I did, then I'd have a pretty shitty life now, wouldn't I?

I'm assuming that's sarcasm.
So.. Are you serious? You're telling me at 14 years, you've never been yelled at more than at least 5 times. By the 5th time, hell if you're not used to it.
And how was that being verbally abused? He got accused of illegal coaching and then he was told, or yelled at, to leave.

If he felt that it was bad enough to "ruin his day," then he should've stood up for himself, or his dad for him.
But obviously, since he didn't, it must not have been a big deal. Therefore, advice? Ignore the asshole. Why should you let an uptight, paranoid dumbass ruin your day?

Actually, no. I never implied that. I just said there are not "many places" that don;t allow minorities in still,
And what I said is that every scot I have seen, especially you, is mentally challenged. You just happen to be a racist as well. Your racist statements in this thread proved that, and your inability to even use the most basic English when writing proves the first.

You took a poll,then?.

No, I consider all of the scots to be idiots. I consider the entire wannabe nation of Scotland a land of dolts.
The difference being that I speak for me, and me alone, in saying you and yours suck.
In this case being "Nationalist" is being biased against persons of certain countries.
But I don;t expect you will understand.

Yup,I know and have been aware of my racist up-bringing since the age of 12.I freely admit it.And since that age I have self-taught and fought against it.
You have no clue what nation or race anyone on these forums is, yet you immediately jumped to calling anyone who disagreed with you American, and as such, inherently evil.
I was always impressed by the American Ideal of the Individual and what he could achieve...seems they have forgotten that.Who is "they"? All Americans? You're lumping an entire nation of people together, claiming them as forgetful, among other things, and believe that's not prejudice?
I think you were right in saying you grew up with prejudice and readily identify it. Heck, with the statements you've given so far, it would be hard to miss.
So, you say my country is bad or misguided now? Do you have any clue what country I'm in?

I dont think there is anything wrong with racism. It helps seperate the enlightened from the ignorant.

Now Jeffery, remember we had a discussion a while back as to what was "flaming" and what was "trolling". This is the latter: purposefully trying (but in this case failing) to rile the masses for no actual reason past the act itself. In this case, he's using stupidity and ignorance.
So, lazygun - you've clearly given your account of America, claiming we're all americans. Do you have ANY proof to back up that thought? I mean, given your logic I might as well asume YOU are an american, and that's the reason you're racist, right?
lazygun

If you have read and replied in any discussive/logical way to any of my posts here,you would know i have made no negative posts against the whole of America/USA.Other than Racism exists in that country.You wish to say prove it does not then do so.
There is no doubt though,that you wish my posts to be read that way.Who is this "We" who are all Americans;as far as my posts go,the only person i referred to as an American was the Clown?.
And you being yourself,do you think that threatening me with the label of being a flamer or troller is going to make me bend a knee to the likes of you?.
That's the funniest thing i've heard in a long time.

So let's get this straight: you're ONLY claim thusfar has been "Racism exists in America"? Can you show me a single country that you can prove absolutely no racism exists in?

No sorry,but nobody should take what he took(with a quite shocking lack of support in this forum) in a country that claims to be a democracy.
Here is your first jab at America as a whole. Anyone would take "claims to be a democracy" as an insult towards america, whether you're American or not.
And seeing as there are still many places in America that still refuse entry to Ethnic minorities
Please name some, i'm curious at your expert knowledge of America. Man, it must take a lot of work to thoroughly study a country you loathe so much.
On me being a pussy,lol,seeing as I hail from Scotland and you from America(?),You'd need to fly over here,tough guy.
This is you assuming Jeff is American. You base that knowledge off of no facts whatsoever, but I'm sure you don't automatically assume people are americans...not at all...
Yeah,and reality is reality regardless of age.
And don't give me that 1960's nonsense,...Tiger Woods came up against your so-called "Land of the free.." in his early years.
This quote doesn't make sense, but Tiger woods DOES play in the PGA if you didn't know that. And putting the "so-called "land of the free"" remark is another attack at America as a whole.
do you yanks ever do anything as an individual,or has Might makes Right turned you into Commies with money?.
This is where you assume we are all Americans, or at least anyone who has posted against you in this thread. Also, calling Americans commies is, in fact, an insult.
That's quite white of you,Jeffery.And,"If it's White,It's Alright!".
No surprise to see the Clockwork Negger here,lol...
Admitting it is the first step, but just saying you grew up in a racist environment doesn't automatically make you racist for the rest of your life. Better keep working on it bud, does your racism always manafest itself when you argue?
I was always impressed by the American Ideal of the Individual and what he could achieve...seems they have forgotten that.
Awww, another jab at American, wait didn't you say you didn't make any attacks about america as a whole?
And the Clockwork Neggers girlfriend shows up....
C'mon, I thought you were trying to work on your racism. You have to get a leash or something for it. Methinks you just use growing up in a racist environment as an excuse to be racist whenever you feel like it. Nature vs Nurture, you've chosen nurture.
Then consider the fact you left out the word American in describing that particular Avatar.
What does being American have anything to with being racist? Anyone in any country can be a racist. But you must like to brag that the racist guy in your avatar is American. Awww, thanks for taking the time to show malice towards America.
i have made no negative posts against the whole of America/USA.
This could not be more wrong.

Well the Clown had previously claimed that Racism had ended in the 60's,to which i replied that T.W. as a teenager had ran up against a bias against himself and his Father on some of the more "Moneyed" golf courses in America.
It was widely reported here in the UK,dunno if you got to read of it.

Again i run up against this "WE" nonsense.:huh: I only ever reply/post to individuals...anyones claim to his representation to thousands/millions of individuals is unfortunately beyond my control.
Personally i've always found it easier to speak for myself as an individual.

"...So-called land of the free..."

And the whole deal with your avatar is all evidence that you were referring to America as a whole, not the individuals in this thread. And even so, you were insulting us for no apparent reasone except for the fact that we don't "Hail from Scotland"

Note: this is very related to cruel and unsual, but that thread has lost it's subject so i decided it would be more efficient to start a new one.
After my team tennis season ended, ive been going to my dad's mixed double games in ALTA to cheer him on. Today was no different. I went to the game, and it wasnt starting good. my dad and his partner were losing 0-3 (sets to 6 2 out of 3). My dad asks me a question in chinese, i answer, and the opponent walks over to me. he then starts yelling at me and accusing me of illegal coaching in a different language and tells me to leave. after a second when i hadnt budged he screamed LEAVE!!!!
i walked away, very mad at him. my dad, who was very pissed that his son couldnt harmlessy watch him play tennis, won 12 games in a row to win the match 6-3 6-0.
in the end i was VERY mad at the man but didnt call him racist or anything.
Please vote whether u think this man was racist or just paranoid that i was coaching. do not vote anything just to spite me, or i will neg you (this is SERIUS)
This sounds more like a case of really bad ignorance on this other guys part. It seams, looking at his behaviour towards you, that he takes the "game" of tennis WAY too seriously.
Honestly, I dont beleive that this guy meant to be deliberately raciest. I think it was a case of his own ignorance to see beyond his own kind of culture. If he was losing the game it was probable that he was looking for a cheap way to win or for a way to distract your dad.
Either way, he sounds like a complete moron, and that shouldnt be your problem. The problem lies with him, being unable to speak your language, being unable to accept any language that is different to his own, and being unable to accept anything different from what he is.
I can see why you feel upset at this, but none of what happened was your fault. The USA is a multi cultural place, with loads of people from different backgrounds. If he can only accept 1 part of that then I really pitty the sheltered life that this guy will live. I wouldn't give it a second thought, the problem lies with this other guy, not you or your dad.

Are you kidding me? Yell at the dude. Throw a tantrum. Throw something. Anything that involves you actually doing something about it is what the guy deserved. If the guy irked you so much, let his day be ruined. He deserved it. You were minding your own business, and he yells at you, why should your day be ruined and leave him with satisfaction?
I mean its probably nice that you were trying to be above him and all, but in this world? You can be all high and mighty and above them, but expect more days to be "ruined."

:D No i cannot,but that was NEVER my point;racism exists everywhere,was the point i was making.But so far only a few intelligent/balanced Americans in this Thread have said that it exists.
There are two points in this quote.
1) Your use of the word "Americans" in the plural again strengthens our claim that you are just ignorantly assuming everyone here is American without actually knowing anything about us. Previously when I pointed this out you claimed you were only speaking of Jeffery, but your clear use of the plural says otherwise. You assume based on your preconcieved notions - welcome to bigoted prejudice.
2) So your only point was that racism exists everywhere? If that's your point why the #$%^ didn't you just say that? No, that wasn't your point at all. IF that was your point, you wouldn't have gone so far out of your way to single out and attack America/ns, referring to them as communists, racists, and ideallists blind to truth. You specifically and intentionally attacked a single country - so please, don't start spouting bullshit of how your actual point was that racist was everywhere. The LARGEST display of prejudice we've seen in this thread has come from you.
Naw,that was only a jab at the particular Americans who ridiculed the Origional Poster of this thread and his/her quite serious input.Again backing the abovementioned point #1. You have no clue who is American here, let alone the nationalities of the people who you feel ridicules phoenixofflames.
Well the Clown had previously claimed that Racism had ended in the 60's,to which i replied that T.W. as a teenager had ran up against a bias against himself and his Father on some of the more "Moneyed" golf courses in America.
It was widely reported here in the UK,dunno if you got to read of it.I think what "the Clown" reported was that our legal system here officially abolished segregation and government-prejudice (laws that were prejudiced against particular races). Everyone knows there's racism in every country. Don't weasle out of your original poorly constructed point for semantic technicalities.
