Yes, but now they look like dicks and no one will know why.

Well, it's not like any of them will get elected President of the United States or anything.

How the hell did kids display a sign with "the racial N-word slur" at a football game without getting the crap beat out of them?

Considering some of the class that was on the 2007 Hawaii (Rainbow) Warriors football team, I'd say Hawaii is full of dickbags.

In the native ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi language, the n-word is not considered to be offensive.

Hawai'i high school recalls yearbooks for potentially offending state's six African-American residents


Has subby considered that that word might offend other people as well?

the letter cards were held by five students, including one student who had a card with two G's


I wondered how 5 = 6


Now I know.

Damn, people are so nubianrdly over the issue of race in the US.

With the stupid kids being herded through schools now-a-days they were probably trying to spell Hawaii and got it wrong.

So, you are not offended BY the photo or act, but the fact it was made public?

Finally though, a race story I can get behind. These kids parents should do jail time for not teaching their children not to take part in such activities.

I almost pissed myself reading the comments:

That side of the island is well known for having very heavy set female lava monsters of polynesian descent who weigh no less that 280lbs, have toes the size of footballs and begin to grow sideburns and other facial hair at the age of 7. The ones in the picture I was told weighed in about 340 lbs. and were bigger than they were in January

Heavy set lava monsters had my loling all over the place!

potentially offending?

I think that's pretty much a slam dunk as far as offensiveness goes. Hell, I'll make necrophilia jokes but the N-word's even out of bounds for me.

People need to realize that there's no "Right To Not Be Offended" in the Constitution.

Suck it up, shun those who are moronic enough to pull this shiat, and stop playing the victim.

The sad thing these days is that almost everyone wants to play the victim because they're sad little attention whores.

These kids were in High School, the supreme court has already shown you have no rights what so ever in any kind of schooling until you go to college even then you are kept on a leash

FTA: Kumasaka said the letter cards were held by five students, including one student who had a card with two G's, and the students with the cards were staggered up and down rows on bleachers among seniors holding other signs.

seriously, that is just so douchey and uncreative. managing to spell out "never gonna give you up" would have been much funnier.

Squaw Valley HS RRPRESENTT!

Conservationist: Minorities are always offended by something, because they hate the majority. That's how diversity ends up in every instance of it that has occurred in history.

One of my highschool yearbooks switched pictures of an obnoxious rich white kid and a black student. I complimented the obnoxious kid on his tan.

What is the number of students white? I'm just saying that a lot of the population in Hawaii are natives and Asians while there less of whites, African Americans, and Hispanics.

heh... funny coloreds.

I don't get this headline at all.

The US Census shows Hawaii having 1,288,198 residents in 2008, with 2.9% of them black - that's right around 38,000 people. I'm guessing there might be more than 6 of those people of high school age. Statistically, this school alone should have about 55 black students.

Unless the point was it's OK to use racial slurs if there are only a few victims?

And they don't pull a yearbook with a chicks hoo-haa hanging out?

humandrive: And they don't pull a yearbook with a chicks hoo-haa hanging out?

sadly that would sell out the yearbook stock..

//of course they might wonder why 40 year old perverts are buying them. but the almighty dollar speaks.

There is no way I would give back my yearbook in this situation.

The picture was offensive for sure but with all the other yearbooks being altered, a non altered copy becomes an instant collectors item.

White kids did not do this Polynesian kids did
/I remember a Polish kid fresh from Poland who knew very little English called me a n****r, but instead of punching him in the mouth I walked off laughing
//Next day he came up to a group of blacks and said that shiat and well you know how that ended
///Yes I know I should have told him it was not a good word to say

And what make you think the others are altering theirs?... And, where the hell is the offending picture?..Come on Hawaii, someone over there nancy up and post it.. nuff said.

Swampthing in Korea: Damn, people are so nubianrdly over the issue of race in the US.

What's a Nubian?

The picture altered by the school to read "2009"

This is silly. The students were obviously encouraging the quarterback to "ZIGGER" - to zigzag, or run in a serpentine fashion. (pops)

Some idiot holds a "Z" sideways, and it makes national news!

I made some mentally challenged decisions as a teen, but you'd have to smoke a heck of a lot of pot to think this was funny.

Retards ,the lot of this generation.

I love Hawaii threads. My boy has been living down there for 3 years now, and he tells of all the crazy stories about hawaii, about how they don't do business with you, if you graduated from a rival HS, how they have some kind of special native discount, how there's an ongoing joke about dogs disappearing in Filipino neighborhoods, oh and how Hawaiians are pretty racist against black people as well as white people. Apparently Hawaii has really good food, huge meth issues, and as a people a lot of them are pretty slow.

DeLong said the school is conducting an investigation and will take appropriate action, which could include suspension, denying walking privileges during graduation, and community service.

AND community service??? Who do these administrators think they are, what kind of power do they think they have? Take your "community service" and shove it up your walking privileges.

Come on, it's not like there have been any well known black people to come out of Hawaii.

oh. yeah.

Anyway, most of the time, I think the PC police should go fark themselves. But in this instance, you'd be hard-pressed to actually find a more offensive word. I find it odd or suspicious that it was able to get past so many without getting caught prior to publication. But considering how delicately we treat everything else these days, them trying to fix this stupidity isn't all that eye-batting.

Tag must be for subby.

/Waiting for Troll tag.

And smitty spelled it "Hawai'i" to keep from using the offensive (and official) spelling, the one without the inappropriate apostrophes.

Meh, one of my yearbooks from middle school in northern Wisconsin has a picture of people piling on top of each other. It is captioned, "*filtered* Nger pile." There were no blacks there, but there were plenty of Indians, so we could be racist against them. I wasn't as I thought having a res. nearby where I could buy all sorts of fireworks was awesome. Plus one of my best friends was an Indian. He would bring a flask of whiskey to school every day. Yeah, stereotypes, fire water, etc. He did!
