Sorry

Post Reply New Topic

I want to apologize for my behavior in some of my posts on wrong planet.
I have just returned from a 28 day ban on my account for racism.
I posted a post that was extremely ill considered.
My uncle (long dead) was a bushman with a gruff manner and a 1940's mentality. i used to laugh at his euphemisms and when he discussed asian people, he said things i found hilarious. not because i believed them, but because they were so insulting to asians. he fought them in WW2.

anyway, i was kind of trying to be humerous with my post, but really, i know that some asian people are on this site, and i did not consider that they would find my post hurtful.
so to whoever i offended, i apologize.

i really think asians are polite and honest people. when i had a chip business, all of my asian customers paid their bills dutifully and on time with a smile.

anyway, i will not go on about that and perpetuate the matter, but i promise i will be never again succumb to saying anything other than than i really mean.

i didn't know, oh well, good you're back

understood

welcome back.

Welcome back to Wrong Planet!

All is forgiven.

Everybody deserves a second chance. But no more racism please. Only infantile minded, unemphatic people think racism is funny.

Welcome back!

ok. i did not think i was being racist because i do not have any opinion about the qualities of any race.

i think racism is saying things like "all arabs are thieves" or "all irishmen are drunkards" etc.....

i know it is not that way. i am not going to enter any thread to do with race questions just to be safe.

I got in trouble too when I said something about what is going on in melbourne at the moment so I left Wrong Planet for a little while and even took my Avatar off.
