Humourless Chinese Live Up to Racial Stereotype Yet Again!!

spanishbasketballteam.JPG

Is NOT a Chinese reference, is a very funny reference to Mongs!!

I espect you have all seen the papers complaining about the Spanish men’s basketball team making the slitty-eyes gesture before going off to compete in the Olympic Games in Beijing. Once again, the stupid mass media are getting the wrong end of the stick, and the so-called Chinese community in America is complaining about being offended. Typical Chinese! They are not having a sense of humour about anything at all. Besides, anyone who have ever been to China will know that they are all a terrible racist country (and filthy as well, with their coughing up phlegms and spitting in the streets), even to people such a myself who is diminutive and olive skinned and hairy. They think that their country is the best in the world (clearly none of them has been to Spain!!), that foreigners are devils and ghosts, and that Western food such as McDonalds and Kentucky Fride Chicken is muck, whereas their so-called food, such as Chop Suey, sushi, and Yorkshire terrier on a stick, is delicious. They are nothing more than a bunch of barbarians, no matter how many walls they build. Even the Irish can build walls!!

Is time, I think, to clear up this matter once and for all. The slitty-eyes gesture the basketball players is making is not a reference to the Chinese people. Is a reference to the 2000 Paralympic Games in Sydney, Australia. If you do not remember, the Spanish basketball team at the competition was kicked out of the event when it was found that nearly everyone on the team was not intellectually challenged at all. Normally, of course, having an IQ of under 85 is an advantage for an athlete and nothing to be sniffled at, but in the Paralympics the only way the Spanish team was going to win was by including players who could tie ther own shoes and knew which end they had to shoot the ball at (This whole event was satirized in an appallingly bad taste movie starring Johnny Knoxville called, I think, Jackass II.)

In Spain, this banning of our team cause a major sensation because once again it show that the Olympic Games and its various offshoots are an Anglo-Saxon Illuminati conspiracy designed to humiliate the Latin races; indeed, that is precisely why basketball was invented in the first place. Thus, in an act of defiance, when the Spanish basketball team come to play in Beijing, they all make a pretence to be peoples having the Down’s syndrome, challenging the International Olympic Committee to ban them from the Games. Is their way of saying to the IOC, “Is this alright? As you can see, we are all mongs now.”

Is important that the rest of us Latin people demonstrate solidarity with the Spanish basketball team, who are already being picked on by hypocrite journalists and officials from other countries who are calling them racist and prejudiced and discriminatory, when in fact none of THEIR teams have any mongs on them either. Nor do they even have athletes from other countries on them. So who is the racists now?

I am trying to get a petition going in Spain for a national day of slitty eyes, perhaps this Sunday. I am asking all Spanish people and people of Spanish estraction to spend an hour, from 12 until 1, pulling a slitty-eye face when they go to the shops or to church or to the local bar or to their brothel. Of course, none of this will not be a problem for my brother, Hornolo, who spend his entire teenage years making the slitty-eye face, he masturbate so vigourously. You know, dogs used to come from miles around, drawn by the smell of meat cooking.

Anyway, as you can see from my pictures, already some other athletes are showing solidarity. Here is the Spanish ladies’ tennis team doing the mong:

Here is also the Argentinean ladies football team, very nice girls, even though I disagree with the idea of ladies doing sports at all:

Some people have said that this is a stupid idea of me and that I am just attempting to promote slitty-eye day as a way of self-aggrandizement and to promote myself. This is an absurd accusation. This is a really important campaign. But Spanish people’s racism is not the issue here. The issue is the persecution of the Spanish people by lazy foreign journalists and Spain-hating Communist Jews. And I am determined that we will draw a line in the sand (prerefably on the beach volleyball court), across which we will not let anybody cross. Ever. And if everything goes well, my campaign will be on all the front pages of the Spanish newspapers this weekend, barring, of course, a major national catastrophe. I will have a word with Our Lady to make sure nothing happens!

  • Kevin Doogan - Not all that is solid | New Humanist

    Analysis of global foreign direct investment patterns also reveals two interesting and counter-intuitive trends. FDI expands during boom periods and contracts during recessions. To blame job losses on capital migration is questionable. Secondly the lion's share of overseas investment goes to the rich rather than poor countries. Between 1980 and 2006 the developed economies' share of global FDI inward stock has grown from 56 per cent to 70 per cent, consolidating their position as the prime target for overseas investment. In other words capital moves abroad to access rich markets rather than exploit cheap labour. This shows that fears of exporting jobs are not related to the actuality of capital relocation but to the threat of jobs going overseas. Research in America, where fears of overseas job loss have a much higher profile than in Europe, shows that companies use the threat of corporate relocation in order to maintain the compliance of trade unions during contract negotiations.

  • Patrick Cockburn | The Case Against Tony Blair

    The case against Tony Blair has revolved too much around his good faith and too little around his competence. The placards held up by protestors on Friday as he gave evidence should have read “sucker” and “dope” rather than “Bliar”.

    Amateurs have a fluency denied to professionals because they see no “ifs” and “buts” which would interrupt the flow of their argument. Books proving that Bacon wrote Shakespeare are often highly articulate and have great narrative pace because their authors see all facts pointing to the same inevitable conclusion.

    It is this mixture of amateurism and evangelical conviction which made Blair such a lethally inept leader before and during the war in Iraq. His greatest weakness was not so much that he adjusted facts to support his policies, but that he had so little grasp of the facts in the first place.

  • Victor Grossman | Oskar Lafontaine and the Troubled German Left

    While German politicians stared at the calendar, wondering nervously what the May 9th elections will bring in the biggest state, North Rhine-Westphalia, with its 18 million people, media attention suddenly switched to a personal drama within the party called Die Linke (The Left). A few years ago this party or its predecessors were getting laughed off the political map. But what is happening today in that party could re-draw the whole map.

  • Henry A. Giroux’s tribute to Howard Zinn | Howard Zinn: A Public Intellectual Who Mattered

    "I grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, and rarely met or read any working-class intellectuals. After reading James Baldwin, hearing William Kunstler and Stanley Aronowitz give talks, I caught a glimpse of what it meant to occupy such a fragile, contradictory and often scorned location. But reading Howard gave me the theoretical tools to understand more clearly how the mix of biography, cultural capital and class location could be finely honed into a viable and laudable politics.

    Later, as I got to know Howard personally, I was able to fill in the details about his working-class background and his intellectual development. We had grown up in similar neighborhoods, shared a similar cultural capital and we both probably learned more from the streets than we had ever learned in formal schooling. There was something about Howard's fearlessness, his courage, his willingness to risk not just his academic position, but also his life, that marked him as special."

  • The Real News | Haiti and the ‘Devil’s Curse’

    Excellent 12 minute news segment from the Real News on Haiti’s history of poverty, which includes a critical examination of how mainstream media is reporting this history without mentioning the impact that various foreign interventions has had on the country.

    According to Peter Hallward, author of Damming the Flood: Haiti, Aristide, and the Politics of Containment Haiti’s poverty can be explained as a series of foreign responses to the independence and strength of the Haitian people, but since the media doesn’t acknowledge this, they are forced to propose weakness and bad luck as the sources of Haiti’s poverty.

  • k-punk: Spectres of revolution

    Mark Fisher, author of Capitalist Realism, is talking about "Revolution" :
    "So let's be clear. I'm very far from saying that nothing can ever change. There has been some discussion of whether Capitalist Realism is a pessimistic book. For me, it isn't pessimistic, but it is negative. The pessimism is already embedded in everyday life - it is what Zizek would call the "spontaneous unreflective ideology" of our times. Identifying the embedded, unreflective pessimism is an act of negativity which, I hope, can make some contribution to denaturalizing that pessimism (which, by its very nature, does not identify itself as such, and is covered over by a compulsory positivity which forbids negativity). Far from nothing ever changing, something already has changed, massively - the bank crisis was an event without a subject, whose implications are yet to be played out. The terrain - the crashed present, littered with the ideological rubble of failed projects - is there to be fought over."

  • UK company law is terrorism’s friend | Prem Sikka | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

    Over the years, I have conducted many investigations into dubious corporate practices for newspapers, radio and television programmes and the trail always leads to tax havens, which hold no public information about the individuals behind those companies. The registered address is about the only publicly available information. One building in the Cayman Islands, a UK overseas territory, is the registered address of 18,857 corporations. British Virgin Islands, another UK overseas territory, with a population of 23,000 has more than 813,000 registered companies, the highest number per capita in the world. These companies rarely carry out any trade in their locales, but facilitate secrecy to their owners.
