Random Thought Thread

to be clear, there's no offense taken here- I'm not of Chinese descent. If I were, though, I wonder how I'd feel about this community and CPK in general if I stumbled across the image that I responded to.

Maybe someone of Chinese descent seeing that photo shopped image would find it funny and harmless. Maybe not. I don't think it's worth going there, at the risk of alienating potential customers and whatnot, (which I'm probably doing right nowo_O)

Anyway, I hope no one has any hard feelings about this. The topic is definitely a lightning rod these days

Life is too short for hard feelings over silly things.

I _literally_ teach college students about cultural sensitivity, and I have to say, if you can't have some lightly off color fun on a Random Thought thread on a sub-forum of a knife forum on the internet then it is just time to pack it all in.

I mean, the picture is a groaner, but it is all about context. And there was literally a conversation about eating cats going on.
 
I guess that we are allowed to use adult language here.....in moderation?

The picture appears to be self-deprecating humor assuming that the owners and/or managerial staff are Asian. Though I do agree that it is prudent from the perspective of a business to tread carefully these days. Was just reading about Barilla and their about-face towards the LGBT community and how they are now flourishing.

I'm offended that any of you think you know what is offensive to anyone else. Who are you to know? But don't try to apologize for your offense, as it only offends me more. Now give me money.. your money in my pocket will help me forget about this.. for now..
 
This thread has really taken some twists and turns. It's looking like CPK whine and cheese..fun!
