Title: Racist e-mail (Canadians be warned, eh)
Post by: Netham45 on June 30, 2011, 04:47:33 am
I just got an e-mail of this page. (http://e.dealextreme.com/albums/canada/)

Seriously? "144 Years of Beer, Hockey, and Bacon"?
A beer holding hard hat on the same page as two flags and a breathalizer?

I wouldn't say that this is racist. Canadian isn't a race; it's a nationality. Sure, it's poking fun at Canadians, but racist is a bit of an extreme word to describe it. If that was the case, then every Michael Moore movie making fun of America would be racist. :P

Actually, that hard hat is not too bad.  I would use it for soft drinks or something.  :P

EDIT: Also, it sounds like it has either been badly written or terribly translated.

Wow, that is pure poetry!  [he lied]

Yeah, it is funny. Weird and funny but potentially useful./me imagines a calc in one hand, spare batteries in another, and sipping bee soft drinks through a hard hat

That is such a random assortment of items on that canada page. I guess I can kind of see the correlation between the hard hat and the breathalyzer. But why do they have a 1W blue laser, a hookah, a mini golf set, and an iPhone case?

Edit:
    XD, In the HDMI one, they put 2's in their binary!!!!!!

The funny thing is, most of the stereotypes about Canadians are spread by us because we love seeing how gullible you Americans are :P

While the stereotype that Canadians are nice isn't always true, for the most part it is :) I mean look at me :P

There's that stereotype about quebecers being rude, which, from what I saw from a bunch of people, may look true, but often when I see people visiting Quebec city and asking info to people living there, people are nice to visitors and stuff in general. I don't know about the rest of Canada, though.

Also yeah it wouldn't be racism, but rather stereotypical or to a lesser extent bigot, I guess.
