I cannot begin to tell you all how sorry I am but if DU wants to ban me, this is their site and they have to monitor people on here.
Once again, am so sorry! I never meant any harm to Yo

(10,274 posts)That thread fell apart for no reason. Glad to see your attempting to fix a bad situation.
I'm sure you would have been banned by now if you were going to. Consider self deleting this meta thread and take it up with a PM.
Assuming you're sincere and this isn't some passive aggressive call out ...the Yo part and monitoring comment has me wondering.
Peace

Delete this thread which is META and bound to bring in nasty comments.
Avoid using controversial terms, even if responding to someone who used the term first.

(27,247 posts)that could be construed as uncomplimentary toward Asians, and Yuiyoshida, one of our DUers of Asian heritage, was markedly hurt by the comment. It may also have been the last straw to drive another DUer of Asian heritage, AsahiniKimi, away from DU.

I am only conjecturing about AsahinaKimi, because I did not hear anything from her directly, but there was a discussion in the Asian forum shortly after that about AsahinaKimi leaving DU

(51,308 posts)Yes, that was unfortunate.
I do hope no one leaves DU over it however.
I enjoy both those posters.

There are a couple of posters like that. You get the feel they are not victim enough so they stir up to get something they can jump on.
She brought up the "slanty eyes" and the OP just riffed on that more or less. He has not come up with it himself. He was sort of quoting her. It is not blaming the victim, it is saying someone wanted to have a chance to be a victim. It's some sort of drama some people seem to need in their lives.
