This is getting really pathetic, Lack you truly "lack" any humbleness or civility towards others you deem as beneath you. My "Nationality" (or race) should not make a difference as to whether your comment is offensive to me. You could have made everything a bit more transparent if you just explained yourself on how you feel this joke is funny to you.
It seems that Rob is spot on with his explanation of why you would post such a trollish comment, to get a reaction, make some of us feel uncomfortable at the least, and to generally bring some confrontation to the forum. Great job buddy! If I had made a statement that was taken the wrong way on this forum I would want to clear up any confusion and explain my true intention. You show not even a hint of remorse that your comment bothers many here on punaweb, instead you appear to get defensive and more argumentative which is very revealing.
Mr. Lack I do want to say that I have been thinking about my first post on this thread and I'm disappointed with myself for putting down your cartoons. It is your creative outlet, and I should have left that alone.
If you make a racist "joke" and post it on a public forum you have to expect people are going to voice their concern and disapproval. This is Punaweb, not TEA PARTY web, keep your 1950's sense of humor to your own site. I do stand by my original statement of not wanting to support your Huli Huli chicken though because you see my wife is one of those "can's" you joke about shooting, and my daughter is half a "can" so I don't think we are likely to patronize your business, and that sucks because my wife really likes Chicken!
I feel like you have succeeded in one positive aspect here and that is of opening up race discussion which is often avoided. I don't know whether you are a racist or not, and I certainly would not call you one without hearing more about your real intention with your joke or if you truly find shooting other races funny. To those of you who excuse Lack's bonehead comment I feel just as much offense from your approval or dismissal of it really being a harmless joke.
So please Lack explain how you think that your comment is funny and maybe the "self appointed political correctness police" won't be disturbed by your jokes involving shooting other races with B.B. guns. BTW I would never consider myself to be a politically correct person, nor would those that know me, I just don't tolerate racist comments.
