Lol @ the depiction of the Chinese citing nationalisation as the reason for the fall of America.

Also, lots of things are comparable to the Nazi parties treatment of the Jewish people. Lots of countries have committed lots of atrocities, and comparing those situations to Nazis is actually quite helpful so that nothing like the nazis ever happens again. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -Santayana I would posit that it is only through the comparison of the Nazis treatment of the Jewish people that we ensure that things like that never happen again. Are you arguing that things like that should happen again, sirrah? --- ITT: People who think there is such a thing as "a race," and who do not understand that racism is a colloquial term used to describe hatred or intolerance towards another group of people for a great many reasons having to do with their culture, ethnicity, or nationality. --- If you don't understand why this commercial has racial undertones at the very least, you might be a redneck.

However, the above comment is really just me being nitpicky. I understand and agree with the point you are making. As such, I do agree that over the years* "race" has culturally evolved away from the more scientific meaning into what it is today; i.e. a way of easily profiling groups of people (sometimes, maybe usually, offensively) based upon physical characteristics, cultural differences, practices, etc. *Edit: Over the years? More like the beginning of time. | |||

Again, it's nothing to do with the Chinese people, but everything to do with pro-American politics going against Chinese industrialization, and the only hatred they're spewing in this commercial is an intolerance of other governments questioning the might of the U.S economic machine. | |||

Only Neo-Con Sara Palin/NewtG/GBeck/Hannity/TeaBagger Folks would really believe this.

#1.) On a subconscious level for people who do not already hate Chinese people, these groups are being geared up to become intolerant of the Chinese. Perhaps already intolerant of the Chinese will simply hate them more, because this just adds fuel to the fire of their current hatred. #2.) Dealing directly with Ongbak's quote, the problem with "only the groups you listed really believing this," is that those groups make up an extremely large and growing segment of the American people. To minimize these groups is to stick your head in the sand, especially in the face of the most recent House of Representatives vote, and all the attention in the media that Palin, et al, have been receiving from the VERY rich and powerful media outlets promoting them. --- This shit is scary, and to blow it off so easily shows a lack of foresight. As far as why I am just now seeing this, I rarely watch network television, and yes, even though it may have been running for 6 months, I have just become aware of it.
