Las Vegas Summer League Game Thread: July 13th - Utah Jazz vs. Minnesota Timberwolves 7:30 PM PST

This ****ing thread...far be it for me to lock a game thread, but this one is really tempting.
 
This thread is so full of the dumb *** it hurts. You know what's worse than unintentional racism? Whiny *** social justice warrioring. . .Especially on a sports board. Go watch your damn replay of Michael Sam getting his ESPY and leave the rest of us to enjoy the Utah Jazz.

I think all the pulling the race card is a little out of control too.


But from my little corner of the earth, this is the vibe I get from those words.

Confederate Flag - Definitely racist. Anyone I've ever known to have one of those, was extremely racist. I seriously doubt that anyone was has one isnt. That's at least the perception I get and a lot of other people do. So it must be reality.

Redskins - Not really sure. I've never heard anyone use it in a derogatory manner. I've only heard it when talking about the team. So the vibe I get is that it isnt. Not sure why it would bother Indians either. What's the difference between that and white skin? I guess I just don't know the background well enough.

African American - I don't think it is, is it? What's the difference between that and Italian American? I haven't heard it used in a derogatory manner either.

White Boy - Honky - Cracker - All come off as racist, and it offends me when I hear them. Except cracker isn't so bad. It just kinda sounds funny. So I call all my white people crackers. Not sure if that's ok.

Most black people in Germany, that are from here (like born and raised here) are called Germans. If you are referring to someone that is black you generally say "Schwarzer" or the black guy, and no one gets too upset. You call someone here an African German and they look at you weird. Most people not from Germany just tell you what country they are from. Lots here from Syria right now. Have met a few from the Sudan as well. Plenty from Africa directly as well. I see fewer black Germans here, than I did black Americans back home, but I see far more from myriad other countries than I did in the US. It is far less of an issue here, at least that is my first perception.
 
^ No reason to point out their race. We dont need to call people African Americans, we can just call them American.

OMG yes. You saw my air conditioning thread in GD right? Holy **** it was miserable. Now it is getting warm here, and raining, so hot and muggy. Ugh. But it is still better than the flat out heat.
