I made a two sentence comment on a Defamer story about Khloé Kardashian and I ended up getting death threats, accused of being an ignorant racist, and about 140 other comments on how I'm a bad, no, an EVIL person for not being offended that she wore a headdress at a kiddie party.

From this day on, I shall stay in the Jalopnik realm. At least here I only catch flack because I don't like Miatas.

/end baby rant

At my sister and brother-in-law's house recently, my 3yo niece was sitting awkwardly on her chair at the dinner table. She fell off the chair, hitting her head as she met the floor. I looked at my sister and BIL, and they just rolled their eyes and said "Joslyn, you know better than to sit in the chair like that. No sympathy this time." and just like that, they went back to eating as their child lay on the floor, feeling sorry for herself.

Mr. Bateman, you know better than to comment on a Defamer story. No sympathy this time.

*goes back to not working*

It was an innocent comment, really. The commenters just ran with it.

I keep forgetting the lesson I learned so long ago. I didn't figure that one itty bitty comment would cause such a shit storm.

In reality, this reminds me of the recent time (a month ago?) a pop star used Japanese imagery in her music video. Lots of White people got butthurt about it, while Japanese people didn't care. The White people then called the Japanese people race-traitors.

You can't fix stupid, and you can't educate stupid.

If all the drama we have here on Oppo is arguing about how many pedals are better, then we are doing incredibly well compared to the rest of Gawker.

I think Hardibro once mentioned that the Gawker.com staff was in awe of our commenters here. Case in point.

I'll sometimes go to GroupThink and post, but I've never received anything but goodwill or jokes in return.

Gawker is just out of hand.

Wow. Just read some. I wonder if some of those commenter's dress-up for Halloween, etc... (especially Thanks Giving) There are some really stupid ignorant people in the world and some of them are on that page.

Fella, it's best to stay out of the way of these idiots, they tend to shout louder and having nothing better to do with there time than to 'educate' others in their delusional way of thinking are happy to use it while the rest of us get on with our lives after putting our owns thoughts across. Just shake your head and let it roll on by.

You like Miatas!

You ignorant, sexist, pig loving, jihadist, [insert other stuff here]. If I knew where you lived I would come in your driveway and contemplate telling you in person how angry you have made and how much I hate your existence for not agreeing with my personal opinions., but then I would get discouraged becasue I am really 120lbs human with no true skills or courage to face those who oppose me. I hope you have a pleasant rest of your night and enjoy the plunders of many miscreants, or whatever it is you do.

YIKES! just went and had a peek to see what you were talking about.

Holy Fuck! they are pretty sensitive over there. I share your point of view I don't see what the big deal is. I'm relatively young (29) and we all played cowboys and indians as kids and it did not make racist. I'm caucasian with a hint of metis(my great grandmother was 100% Metis) my wife is Filipino and my best friend is Black.

Some people need to learn to relax. Everyone is not out there to trying insult your culture, get a grip!

I feel the world is trying way too hard to be politically correct at absolutely everything that people get to busy worrying about stuff that just doesn't matter.

For next time, use this. I hate our culture of people getting offended on behalf of others and acting like they need to live their life apologizing to everyone because they weren't born trans-queer-fem-gendered to immigrant parents of different races in a poor urban area. Just don't be a dick. That's it. That's all.I don't hate people because they're black or gay or non-gendered or whatever arbitrary reason you think of. I hate the individual, not their label.

The best post in that chain went something like "Just because people with Irish ancestry don't get offended when people dress up for St. Pattys doesn't mean they shouldn't".

I've always felt that there are people out there subconsciously looking to be offended...I didn't realize there were people actively searching for it.

As you read in the thread, I'm part Irish, part Native American. Unless someone really gets in my face trying to insult me, I'm not insulted.

Even when people do actively attempt to offend me, I usually just shrug it off. Life is too short to be butthurt about every little damn thing. Brush it off and continue with your day.

No miatas?!? Racist jerk… On a side note, without bothering to look at the headdress, I bet Khloe Kardashian would look pretty kickass wearing her headdress in a miata — top down, feathers blowing in the breeze.

As I said to OP earlier - i'm sick of people getting offended on the behalf of others. If they have a problem, they'll let you know. Hell my lab partner for a year is black and he came in one day and said "Is it black on black violence if I give jessie jackson that punch in the jaw he keeps asking for?" I forgot why he said that but I about pissed my pants with the way he said it.

You know, I don't even think it's everyone trying to be politically correct. I think it's everyone trying to be enraged with something so they feel they aren't racist. If someone was really offended by the picture, then they have every right to be. However, it doesn't mean that Kardasian meant any ill will towards them.

There is no such thing as "an innocent comment".

And holy crap I just read through that.

Apparently no one will ever be able to dress up for Halloween again.

I'm 75% Irish ans 25% Scottish so I hear you on your points over there. We don't get offended when some jackass where's a Kilt on St. Patrick's Day and smashes green beer yelling out "I'M IRISH!" when he isn't.

My wife has quite a bit of native american in her and this stuff doesn't bug her in the least.
