If I recall, someone had found a sizable Japanese corp they wanted to approach, but I forget its name. This was a while back.
Hmm, are you saying TEST lacks honor? 
Well it would be cool, so far in terms of massive scale we only got russian, german, american and english corps/alliances right? As in being pretty nationalistic. The Chinese have their own server right?! Rest are too small in numbers if I am not mistaken. |

My elder daughter is currently studying business, while minoring in Japanese and Chinese. She has many friends who have recently moved to the United States from that area of the world and was able to assist them as a math tutor in high school. In fact, next semester she will be spending the bulk of her time in mainland China as part of her studies.
I have never heard her mention that they were offended by the term Oriental, although the truth be told when I spoke with them I only refered to them by their correct name.
Perhaps that would be the best course of action.

Absolutely. We are a very silly alliance.
I think one event that exemplifies us pretty well is when we were blue to both Goonswarm and Pandemic Legion, a TEST bomber wing uncloaked in the middle of a battle between both groups. Everyone pretty much collectively shat themselves trying to figure out who we were there to shoot.
That whole period of "oh god everyone is blue on the ops" was pretty hilarious.

Krixtal Icefluxor is one of those special people that go out of their way to be offended by everything.
Using the word "Oriental" to describe a group of people does not make you racist. It might make you ignorant depending on where you were raised. But, as it has been pointed out, this is an accepted term to describe people from the East or "Asian" countries in other parts of the world.
I have been in the military for over 26 years and have visited or been deployed to over 35 countries on every continent (except Antartica) and I can say that no one gets there panties in a wad over a single WORD like us stupid Americans. Only we make looking for issues where there are none a national pastime.
Denying ANYONE freedoms or work or housing due to their heritage DOES make you racist. Believing that you are better than others because of your heritage makes you a racist. Using words with no intent of defining superiority or inferiority does NOT make you a racist.
Ok... carry on with the flame wars. |

Oh my... the potential for abuse with ship names when attacking a Japanese player corp...

I would hate to be a CCP GM when that issue comes up during the first war between US/British player corps and Japanese player corps.

That's because 4chan loves to mock places without having an inkling of understanding.
Reddit is ltierally whatever you want it to be. A news source, comedy website, source of cat pics, ****** rage comics, poker news, programming advice, etc - or all of the above. Also, gonewild is pretty nice i hear.

I am not Asian. I think most people would prefer their country / heritage of descent. Russians, Indians, Pakistanis, Japanese, Chinese, Thai etc etc etc are all Asians, and the distinctions between each culture are much more nuanced than just saying "ASIAN" Just sayin, if you're going to play the, "I know what other people feel" card... I don't know why, but this conversation reminds me of my cousin trying to tell a "GENTLEMAN OF AFRICAN DESCENT WHO LIVED IN ENGLAND" that he was an African American. PC terms are just as misguided as terms that were also-once-considered-PC
This, plus PC terms don't seem to be a standard for anywhere.
I was having a good laugh with one of my work colleagues about this once (I work in IT in and near London so its a melting pot of culture). He was visiting the US, Vegas I think, and the locals could not get their head around a black guy with a British accent from the UK. They kept calling him African American and he was saying in desperation, and I quote "What the hell! I'm not either i'm f***ing BRITISH!". I also gather from other colleagues that being white and African at the same time causes issues there too.
The biggest racial tension in my office is having to go to the halal Nandos where the food isn't as good... |

Most memes don't start on 4chan either. And there are plenty of in-jokes and original content within each reddit community. The nice thing about the site is that the crap sinks very quickly while the good stuff rises to the top - it's the entire point of the karma system.

Sounds like you want to defend racism here.
Are you insane? Sounds to me like you are trying to defend overbearing political correctness here, and have no idea what racism actually means. Would you call an African man African American? Because I guarantee he'll find that a hell of a lot more offensive than the term African.
Carefull there are non orientals being offended by oriental racism in this thread. Cant say I relate, if orientals want to call each other asians what do I care. Maybe if I went to a British school I would know WTF is going on here, and everywhere apperently.
I am however in favor of racism in the form of jokes, I was raised catholic and I love southparks interpretation of a catholic. Best two episodes are in fact: Do the handicapped go to hell?, and Probably. Hell I even like all the black comedians who's only jokes are about white people.
In the end racism is great in the form of jokes, it brings all races together with laughs.
To OP- no idea I'm just a dumb American, can not tell asians from orientals or british sorry.
I recall one night in a nightclub called the matrix, there I was... Mother of god there I am! Holy f**k. |

Upvote/Downvote to a degree is the same as age/sage on 4chan. The difference is that 4chan has no logins and karma and it will age unless you specify otherwise when posting.
The meme flow right now seems to be:
b3ta/4chan/somethingawful/worth1000/fark > reddit/digg > tumblr/twitter > facebook > 9gag/fukung > the rest of the internet > email chain letters your mum sends you. |
