Not all of us are white round eyes here.
I don't think I've ever been more offended in my entire life.
A.) This post background is white. It looks nothing lilke my skin.
B.) While the iris of my eyes is round (everybody's is), my EYES are not round. Nobody's are on this earth.
Its rude to trade one racial slur for another, according to politeness man.
Be Still, my heart...THE BAGSTER...PolitenessMan...Swoon...
Ha. Ha. When I saw round eyes, It made me think of Shifty Schiff. Round Eyes about to pop out of his head.
I also thought of this:
You’ve got to be taught to be afraid of people’s whose eyes are oddly made, and people’s whose skin is a different shade-you’ve got to be carefully taught.
Not all of us are white round eyes her<pNot all of us are white round eyes here.
Oh my how horrible, I guess Chink is OK.
Haha. You chastise somebody for saying ‘chink’ and then you say this...

I think this is an information war and you’re more willing than I am to leave weapons behind on the battlefield for our enemies to use against us than I am.
It doesn’t have to be intended as a racial slur for it to be acquired by enemies of FR who will simply say that FReepers are comfortable with racial epithets, referring to Chinese people as “Chinks” etc. The general public will not take the time to examine context or intent.
You call it “politeness” and I call it “tactical awareness” and in some circles, reasonable people can call it civility. I think it’s usually wise to make the extra effort to collect dropped weapons from the battlefield whenever possible.
