Imagine if the new word for crap was "asian"

"oh that's so "asian"

LOL i rarely laugh at a post but i find your idea of the new word for crap being 'asian' really funny. (no i'm not racist against asians) I love messing around with words and meaning. You know what, mabey on some levels , used with a certain context or inflection, it could perhapes be homophobic, but you know what...we can't control what other people think and trying to control what they say will only provoke reaction. It is far better to tune into the humour and own and use the word in a positive way . gays have done this with words like 'queer' and blacks have also done it with '*****' . You can't really say to people don't hate me your being horrible....Personally i hate gansta rap and find it really offensive, but it's none of my busiiness really.
