- aphroz 6y agoSorry? I am pointing the fact that I thought it was at minima "outdated", if not racist to reffer to native american as indians, the downvotes comes from people thinking it is ok to call them indians and I am being too sensitive to raise this issue. Anyway I think HN is a good source of information, and I enjoy it, but there is something that is probably inherit to all vote based online platform that turns social online interactions in the same way, interesting fact. I will stay a passive user when my karma reaches 0. Peace. https://youtu.be/7VyfP0AkQbw https://youtu.be/7VyfP0AkQbw
- supercucumber 6y agoThe main issue here is that you made a joke about race. It wasn’t funny, and was extremely distasteful. If this is still lost on you, then I suggest you take a moment to educate yourself on the matter and consider why this was offensive to so many people.
- rimliu 6y agoIs the list of the safe topics to make jokes published somewhere?
- supercucumber 6y agoObviously not, but I think it’s pretty straightforward: use common sense. If you think someone might take offense, then don’t say it.
- rimliu 6y agoAnyone might take offense, that's the point. Offense is taken, not given.
