tonight he said "im not going to sit in here and talk to some "aMERIcan!"
WHAT IF: ISAAC had said "im not going to sit in here and talk to some "IRANIAN" people would be setting themselves on fire with outrage. why is it ok to be a BIGOT to americans? its a big country. not everyone in it is a moron just like everyone from his country isnt a terrorist. |

According to some on here, it is perfectly fine to hate someone just because they are american
It is EXACTLY the same as saying they hate someone because they are indian/iranian/irish whatever. Though apprently it is acceptable |

Yes it was prejudiced. I was actually puzzled by it, because it seemed so irrelevant at the time!

yeah!
i mean.. i know he was hurt......so i kind of understand him saying it.. i think what upsets me is that it is pretty much accepted by the general public to talk like that. |

I just think it's more to do with him being such an arrogant jackass, which is the stereotypical view a lot of people have towards Americans, he IS bringing it on himself; but I agree, it'd be totally different if somebody else said something about Siavash's nationality... Political correctness doesn't strecth as far as the US I guess...

Being American, I was a bit offended when he said that, but it was only for a moment. What he's going through is certainly rough, and I feel bad for the guy. I don't honestly think he meant it how it came across, I think he was just upset and it came out. It happens, I'm sure I've done the same thing with French people. I don't really hate the French, but sometimes it's an easy target.
Regardless, I'm still a Siavash fan. |

I'm American.
Coming to these forums makes me feel like a Black guy walking into a KKK meeting sometimes with the crazy things people say about us. As far as what Siavash said, he could have some prejudice attitudes or he could just be picking reasons not to like Isaac. I couldn't blame him. |

Americans by definition are made up of people from all over the world so being an 'american' is considered more of a mentality or way of thinking rather than a race or nationality. i guess that's why people don't think of it as racism to make those comments. also when you make such statements to MINORITIES or the OPPRESSED then it's not acceptable.

Isaac is just a d**k, nothing to do with where he comes from.

With all due respect to our colonial cousins, America is not a country its a land mass, they are citizens of the United States of America, there are or there were a few others countries within North and South America last time I looked at an atlas.
I would be rather grateful if said US citizens paid for the tea on my great ancestor's ships, including interest. your rather cruel joke of making Boston Harbour one large pot of tea sent my family into destitution. |
