People whine too much... Was there any German-American whining and bitching when Mike Myer's did "Dieter"? What about Hans and Franz? Hey, what about French-Americans whining about Pepe Le Pew? And what about Italian-Americans complaining about the the fact that every single big movie about Italians has a Mafia-theme?

"I couldn't believe that a real magazine would publish something so blatantly racist," Chi said.

Racist maybe, but hateful, no. It's called humor. Chris Rock, one of my favorite comedians, is great at doing racist comedy.

"Unintentional hate still hurts," responded Caryl Stern, associate national director of the Anti-Defamation League."

How can you have unintentional hate? This shows the mindset of these people - if anyone chooses to take offense at what you say, regardless of how you intended it, it is hate. This obviously turns the meaning of hate on its head. Reminds me of the Queen in Alice in Wonderland: "Words mean exactly what I want them to mean, nothing more and nothing less."

"Unintentional hate still hurts," responded Caryl Stern, associate national director of the Anti-Defamation League. She called the Details piece "horribly offensive."

How the hell can HATE lack INTENT? And how can anyone with any pretense of breeding or civilization legitimately take offense where none is meant? Does this Foxman flunkie comprehend the English language?

Only a totalitarian fascist would try to divorce an offense from the actor's intent like this. What point will so-called "hate crimes" laws have if one can be found "guilty" of such a crime, even though the so-called "hate" is "unintentional"? It's an exercise worthy of George Orwell, and, not to my surprise at all, the anti-freedom, ethno-fascist, unAmerican ADL is leading the charge.

"We want a full-page apology, and we want Whitney McNally fired," Lin added.

Not only should he be fired, but the editor should be fired too for not doing his job.

Actually, I think it's been done already. FReeper Python fans, help me out here - didn't Monty Python deliberately pick on the most inoffensive country they could find in one sketch and end up slamming...the Dutch?

This is just more of trying to equate homosexual with normal

Nomal people can marry
If homosexual men can marry each other,
homosexual men are normal

Asians are normal people suffering from stereotypes
Homosexuals suffer from stereotypes
Homosexuals are normal people suffering from stereotypes

Details must be a magazine for democrats.
