JiggersMemberI never knew that a dead cow would be considered news worthy. Although a cow does serve its purpose well by providing us with much nourishment.

bigmarkMemberGotta agree with Tewl that the Lunar New Year comments were a little ignorant/insensitive. WSB, if you were mentioning it for potential context, you probably should have included other potential explanations. It didn’t take long for people to come up with the real reason. You probably should have waited a bit for the real answer.

singularnameParticipantNothing racist, ignorant, insensitive, bladdadadda about WSB’s comment/post. Spend a childhood in New Orleans and you’ll have a firm grip on what racism is. … In the meantime, I’m waiting for word on my Zippy’s dinner.

JanSParticipantthe editor DID give an explanation, bigmark…you simply didn’t read it. There was even a link on the main page to the picture from White Center and the chicken that prompted the remark. Please take your argument elsewhere..it doesn’t hold water here. Thanks! :)

bigmarkMemberHey JanS, perhaps you should re-read my post. You will see that I said “WSB, if you were mentioning it for potential context…” which was a direct reference to WSB’s comment “I mentioned it here for potential context, not out of assumption.” So, sorry to say, but I simply DID read it. Perhaps you didn’t.
You’re certainly free to disagree with me, and I did not mean to suggest that WSB is racist. I’ve been coming here for years and love it as a resource. The comment just struck me as, perhaps, culturally insensitive. WSB is usually so good at getting to the right answer quickly, and the right answer turned up pretty quickly on its own, so I was a bit taken aback. That’s all. Thanks! :)
