You got your racism in my coffee! You got your coffee in my racism!
evilgrins delivered a list of bogus food terms to the food_porn community which was kind of amusing but the last definition...

arab coffee: Thick, black, bitter coffee, traditionally served in tiny cups at gunpoint.

...really inspired some, uh, debate.

likeawoman is accused of being likeatroll for staying determinedly offended by everyone but obfuscate brings up Godwins first. "If you replace "arab coffee" with "matzo" is it an insult to Jews? "Haggis" (I hear it's good, but what the hell.. who came up with that?), and it's a comment on how violent those damn Scots are? Put "borscht" in there and you're pissing on the Slavs? "Liverwurst" would then, I suppose, mean that all Germans are violent Nazis."

Nobody likes a laugh more than me. Except for my wife. And Mrs. Johnson.

Define 'Offensive.'

Am I the only one that likes Turkish Coffee?

Why the random-ass definitions anyway?

As a White Canadian Female, let me clarify things for ya'll.

See, this is why I drink tea.

	Oh me too! I had no idea that, aside from a horrific oppression blondes face in everyday society, we did in fact live in a perfect world of colorblindness with tolerance all over the place. How could anything ever be racist if racism didn't exist? Thanks Doctor Who, thank you so much for letting me in on that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have a feeling there's a wank the two of you are referring to that I somehow missed. What happened? (Unless it contains spoilers for Series 3, in which case, check back in two weeks). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Am I falling into the Sarchasm? The Big, Giant, Ongoing Doctor Who Racewank? It's chock full of Spoilers for Season 3 but... unless you've been under a rock (which would make sense, to avoid Spoilers), I don't see how you missed it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No, no, there is no Sarchasm, I've been hiding under a rock to avoid spoilers. :3 So I guess I'll wait a couple of weeks to find out what it is you're talking about. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh! So... something to look forward to! And by forward to, I mean abandon hope all ye who enter here. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Massive spoilers for Series 3, yes. But, on the plus side, I'm a ninja! Go me! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I have no idea what you're talking about and don't want to just yet, but go ninjas! ~~Though I be agreein' with the pirates a bit more~~ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	puipui 2007-09-24 05:08 am UTC (link)
	Yes! Go ninjas! I believe we decided that, if Martha fans are ninjas, then Donna fans must be pirates, so I am actually a ninja-pirate. Go me some more! And don't worry; it won't make much more sense even after you've seen Series 3. It didn't even make much sense during the wank. Just go with it, you'll be fine. And possibly a ninja! Or even a ninja-pirate! Yay! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh but all the Rose fans decided that *they* were the Pirates. And that put me in a perilous spot. Because though I have no real feeling against Rose (she's perfectly lovely) I most certainly don't ship her and Ten in any great detail other than "AWww, HUGS TIME!" cause, well... dude. She looks like my niece.

Yet the only ninjas I'm really down with are the Ninja Turtles. I hate that stupid ninja guy on Youtube and I think Pirates are just ridiculously cooler.

It'd be great if the Donna fans pillaged the "pirate" title cause I'd be more than happy to be the Martha Death Squad's token Pirate. I could even be a Ninja Turtle Pirate.

	Shit, when did we stop oppressing gingers and move onto blondes? I can't keep this all straight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	WE'RE OPPRESSING BOTH. Because we are just that talented, yes. (Reply to this)(Parent)
