Unbanned, but just an FYI for future reference. Using someone's physical anthropology and craniometry to call them monkeys is racist. Its the same [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism"]pseudoscience[/URL] that attempt to claim some black people look like apes/thus less primitively evolved. [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/Races_and_skulls.png[/IMG] In this case, people called him a monkey because they think his racial physical anthropology resembles one, its the same racist mindset that attempts to target blacks and people of middle-eastern origin as "monkey looking" If you don't think its borderline racist then you're just being disingenuous.

The only person to refer to him as such in this thread has been [I]you.[/I] Get off your overzealous high horse Starpluck and accept that you fucked up over a [B]joke[/B].
[QUOTE=Starpluck;39390442] People called him a monkey because they think his racial physical anthropology resembles one, its the same racist mindset held against blacks and people of middle-eastern origin. If you don't think its borderline racist then you're just being disingenuous.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people were saying it with a racist intent, but I don't think everyone meant it that way, or even that anyone necessarily did. At first I thought it was a joke about Iran's missile photoshop from a while back, then I realized it was making fun of Ahmadenijad. If it was just some random Iranian, I'd agree with you that it seems racist, but it's a specific person for a reason that wasn't saying he looks like a monkey (because he doesn't all that much).
[QUOTE=cccritical;39389447]caption: a photo of the monkey after landing safely [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Racism" - Starpluck))[/highlight][/QUOTE] This was the only racist one. I'm pretty sure the others weren't, they were just commentaries on how Achmandinnerjacket is reaching for the stars.
[QUOTE=Starpluck;39390442]Using someone's physical anthropology and craniometry to call them monkeys is racist.[/QUOTE] Ahmadinejad is a money because he acts like one, not because he looks like one.
[QUOTE=J$ Psychotic;39390634]This was the only racist one. I'm pretty sure the others weren't, they were just commentaries on how Achmandinnerjacket is reaching for the stars.[/QUOTE] to repeat my post in the refugee camp, he looks like a monkey the same way george w bush looks like a monkey I disagree with most of his politics, he's the president of a country that just launched a monkey into space, someone provided a picture of him in a space suit, easy joke
[QUOTE=mac338;39390663]Ahmadinejad is a money because he acts like one, not because he looks like one.[/QUOTE] I'm half Persian, and I can tell you right now that no Persian with any sense likes Ahmadinnerjihad. My family always asks me if i'd like to visit Iran with them, but I choose not to because of all the bullshit that him and and government are doing. The people really aren't any better i'm sad to say. I hope they join us in the 21st century soon, they're making our culture look like a joke.

I've called many people a monkey before and no one has ever taken it as racist :s.. I found the pic hilarious/ not racist at all.

Secondly, even if he did it's only because of his hair and beard. not skull shape. calm down
First up monkeys, then they send the kerbals. And that's when shit gets fucked up
Jesus christ Starpluck, I really hope you've had a [B]REALLY BAD[/B] day, because there's no other logical way of explaining those overreactions of yours.
Guys, remember the time this thread as about Iran sending monkeys into space. Those were the days.
Starpluck deserves a new title. My suggestion is "Commander Starpluck: Head of the Iranian Space Division, 1st Monkey Squadron."
Next, they will be sending a rocket to the USA if we are not careful.
How the fuck did Starpluck get the position as a mod? FP is well known for ban happy mods but Starpluck takes the biscuit.
Guys. Let's get back on topic instead of nitpicking on a silly misunderstanding. Sorry if I offended anyone with the pic of Astrodinejad, the motive was not a racist one.
[QUOTE=TehMentos;39389249]Astrodinejad [img]http://i.imgur.com/yzKvnfi.jpg[/img] [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Racism" - Starpluck))[/highlight][/QUOTE] How did this get him banned for racism? It wasn't racist, it's just funny.

[QUOTE=Disotrtion;39391909]Starpluck deserves a new title. My suggestion is "Commander Starpluck: Head of the Iranian Space Division, 1st Monkey Squadron."[/QUOTE] Don't worry I got this guys. I bought him a great new title. I also removed his share of the funds and gave everyone an extra cent instead.
