Re: Chinese sayings

Allegedly there was once a Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh called the Ho Lee Fuk...

I know for a fact you can buy Ching Kee spring rolls!

Re: Chinese sayings

Sorry but it is funny, if you cant poke fun and laugh at yourself no-matter where your from or what colour your skin is then thats really very sad.

Nothing is being said in a vindictive way at all, it's just light hearted humor, if there were less people in the world that were so quick to jump to the racism bandwagon it'd be a better place.

Re: Chinese sayings

I must say, they are largely predicatble, but tickled me none-the-less.

As mentioned, light hearted humour really. Deeply offensive? - Hardly.

Apologies for being offensive... I'm sure you KNOW that offense was not meant. I have done more diversity courses that I can remember so please, don't patronise. It's just a joke. I deeply respect ALL cultures.

Re: Chinese sayings

I am deeply offended by this post.

However, I went into a Chinese restaurant the other day and said to the waiter:

"Excuse me, but this chicken isn't cooked properly."

He replied:

"Why you say that?"

I said:

"'Cause it's eaten half my ****in' chips!"

John.

Lighten-up people, and the world will be a better place.

Unfortunately Dan you'll find that an awful lot on internet forums are casually racist. They'll have a go after this with the 'I tell it like I see it' or 'If you can't laugh at...' or 'It's all political correctness gone mad' or 'If they make jokes about whites no one says...' or whatever nonsense. Have I missed any out?

And the Chinese joke above needs sending back where it belongs to the 70's with Love Thy Neighbour. And if anyone points out that the black family in that particular piece of classic comedy always came out on top then you're kind of missing the ****ing point. I've heard that argument too.

Bring it on!

02) 'Who you hiding?'

03) I think it's been misspelt and he meant to write 'Kum Hia'

05) 'Tiny Pony'

07) 'I bang my f***in' knee' (hilarious!)

10) 'Why you munching?'

12) 'Why you come now?'

13) 'Laying low'

14) 'Washing car'

15) 'You stinky poo'

16) 'F***ckin' super!'








That said, here's another kinda chinese joke...


-What burger does Bruce Lee order when he goes to Burger King?




-Whoppa!!!!!!

Oh dear, you must live in a very boring world my friend!

Methinks you are somewhat missing the point, it is perfectly ok to take the **** in a friendly way, you dont have to be coloured either - Irish, Welsh, Scottish, English etc, they all have their stereotypes, and jokes are made about all cultures by all cultures, do you think if you go to ireland they dont tell jokes about the british? or america, or china for that matter, they all have their jokes about us as we have jokes about them.

Re: Chinese sayings

Saw this a while ago......

Quoting a friend: "Someone shouted at me today for making fun of Jews. He said it was politically incorrect. That was before he found out that I was Jewish, and making fun of ourselves is a part of Jewish culture."



so can you only make fun of your own culture anymore?
Also are Skoda jokes offensive ...after all the owners are a group of people...and by making fun of the car you making fun of them.

The list is endless .....only thing to do is say no more jokes that way no one will be upset.

I have got a fantastic instruction sheet handed out when BMW took over British leyland ........but it would be deemed racist as it is in the same vein as the chinese sayings above ......by the way BMW managers thought it was great

Re: Chinese sayings

So let me ask

Who on here has :-

No Sense of humour and finds ALL jokes / humour about whatever creed/colour/religion completely un-PC.

Will try to explain to a 2 yr old child why they shouldnt a) Put their finger in the socket b) Not touch the Fire/cooker when it is on c) Run out in the road without looking.

Think that muggers / vandals / thieves, should be punished with a fine & be told " Dont do it again".

We are NOT allowed to celebrate a Christian Christmas & MUST say " HAPPY HOLIDAY " NOT HAPPY XMAS.


Maybe people in those categories need to take a reality check, or find a country that will fulfill their " fairy tale" expectations and live there.

Re: Chinese sayings

Yep, I agree with you guys, if you apply rules on jokes about culture you must also apply the same rules on jokes about everything else. i.e. no more jokes about -

Profession - Dont want to offend doctors for example.
Ilnesses - Dont want to offend people with piles.
Religion - Cant offend god botherers.
Hair colour - Blondes wont like that.
Geographical location within a country - What will we do if we cant rib the northern monkeys?
Gender - women drivers let off the hook.
Companies/brands - dont want to offend them or the people who work for them, or anyone that owns any of their products, bye bye Skoda jokes!
Jokes poking fun at yourself - might offend someone that doesn't have the same qualities as yourself, or your mum.

The list goes on, so basically - no jokes that involve anyone doing anything anywhere.

Nobody walked into nowhere, nothing happened!!! Ba dum tish!

The only person showing any kind of descrimination here is the one who is trying to deny people the right to poke fun at themselves and others in a light hearted well meaning way.

If we were racists we would be making far worse and much more direct comments than a few pretend chinese words.

You wouldn't last 5 minutes where I work, we all constantly take the **** out of each other for every reason, colour - sex - relegion - even what clothes your wearing, every night I go home with my ribs aching from laughing so much, as does everyone else, even the chinese, pakistanis, muslims etc etc. because we all know that at the end of the day when the jokes have finished, every one of us looks after each other, and if someone is in need we will all be their to help no matter what.
