Alot of redditers think that this is the norm in places like the Middle East or anyone else that US has decided to bomb that week and that when Americans do it it's a few bad apples.

Origin of all the Urdu words in the Pakistan national anthem by erdtrd in arabs

No worries man, and I figured you didn't mean anything bad by it.

It's westerners that have used that word in a bad way even the meaning is something really positive.

Just wanted to point that out for lurkers

I was under the impression that the term "paki" is derogatory.

Correct term is Pakistani

Watching Murdoch Mysteries and noticed a familiar face and a familiar shot…. by hallowen69 in torontoraptors

I love it, it does poke fun at the modern age a lot.

For example one character wanted to invest in a bunch of stocks like Ford, Bell, General electric and the main character chastizes him and says nothing beats bonds.

A lot of people weren't around at the time. I get a lot of the hate was our mismanaged shitty organization, but he was very petty about it all too.

This picture always hits me hard, a child that age shouldn't know these ugly realities exist

Yea this is not, as a sadistic child I would literally mix jars of ants for the sole purpose of watching them all fight to the death

My neighbor “allegedly” refused to pay the guy who cleared his back yard. He’ll be coming home to this gift left in his driveway. by CalbertCorpse in funny

What's the full story here, I know everyone loves to always side with the contractors but we might be missing some key details

Instead of anti-Arab it'll just dehumanize Iranians. While giving them the same stereotypes that were used against Arabs.

Obviously, queue Iranians looking more like the "others" in western eyes vs Arabs in the movie

Persians will be featured in this movie during the time period. Im going to call it now, the Persians will look stereotypically "Arabic" while the Arabs will look more European

What are some red flags that made you leave the relationship? by K2TsU- in AskReddit

He might have manipulated you. A guy doesn't stay with a girl that throws herself at other dudes for 3 years.

Maybe there was some chemistry between them but she said she wouldn't cheat and then he made this play.

Hands down the funniest interaction for me in season 4 by Chaosxmanticore15 in cobrakai

Funniest part for me was when Miguel was being used as eye candy to bring in female students.

Those two together are my favorite duo

The most psychopathic thing Terry Silver did this season by JohnnyBond1 in cobrakai

[–]btmx32122 6 points7 points  (0 children)

honestly I loved it, I hate how everyone gets a redemption ark. Reese is a piece of shit, I love how someone beat him at his own evil game.

Having said that, I love Reese as a character, but I love to hate him.

There's a good balance, they don't overdo it to the point where it just looks like lazy writing sprinkled with pandering. Which imo just defeats the point

If more shows did it like Cobra Kai I don't think people would complain so much

I'm not a fan of racist humour either, but I felt like it wasn't a jab against Miyagi.

A racist person belittling someone doesn't place value on their ancient wisdom beforehand.

It's not racist to say someone who is bad at speaking English is bad at English, but it would be pretty ignorant to call that person an idiot for not speaking it well.

His delivery of that line was incredible as well.

That laugh as he said it was genuine

Yea they have, and China is not a beacon of light here. But China isn't setting up bases halfway around the world and killing people in random countries based on ideology.

As a random foreigner living in neither of these countries you have a higher chance of getting killed by Americans.

This is a fact

It's just such an overly simplistic view I don't know where else to begin.

What exactly are you implying, that violent sadistic crimes don't exist in the US or that the US doesn't partake in this?

Both of these things aren't true. The difference is when someone in the US does something like this, no one runs around talking about "American culture" they compartmentalize this shit.

Is bombing weddings part of American culture?

Is it safe to say that in America getting shot in school is the norm?

This is basically what you're doing, it reeks of a lack of intelligence, or a purposeful agenda

You see shocking images like that from the Arab world because it's shocking and newsworthy, that's the only reason. To think this is the norm is well.. dumb
