Bhasayate: thurstonxhowell: Bhasayate: In all fairness, my wife is Filipino. Some people think she's black, sometimes they think she's Mexican. And she's relatively light skinned. It can happen!

Does she often carry a sign that says "Filipino" when she's mistaken for black or Mexican? This picture did essentially that.

Those Asian kids aren't carrying around signs saying their Mexican, though. They are ON a sign intended to be effective for a Mexican audience. That's a bit different. And they didn't make the sign. Obviously, someone who can't tell whether a this group of people is Asian or Mexican made the sign.

The image was tagged with "Asian, Asians, Asia" etc.

thurstonxhowell: AiryAnne: Doesn't change the fact that Latinos can be of Asian decent.

Which itself doesn't change the fact that the picture we're talking about was tagged Asian and not Latino.

Which also doesn't change the fact that my wang is enormous.

Nadie_AZ: "The sun is setting, just like I am. With leaves falling. And other signs of a dying person in the circle of life. And we came from boats from Asia. I think. Here. Read these plates of gold. Not paper, but gold. Because we have copper helmets and breastplates, but can't figure out how to make paper."

Wow, non-sequitir much?

FTA:
The Spanish-language site, which is linked to prominently from the main RNC site, on Thursday also featured a blog post on its homepage with the mangled title "How to cease locks the loss in ladies - suggested ways."

I tried to find this derp-fest, but it has since been taken down, and I'm not seeing the option for the Google cached copy. Anyone got a link? I don't know why I can't get Google to work right in their own friggin' browser...

WhyteRaven74: As for the sailing abilities of the Polynesians, this map marks Easter Island aka Rap Nui. Polynesians got sweet potatoes there from over in South America. And this map shows both Easter Island and one of the larger Cook Islands. Where Europeans found sweet potatoes when they first arrived. Note the distance from the Cook Islands to both New Zealand and Hawaii.

And for the fun of it, the red A here marks the Society Islands where Hawaiians and New Zealanders come from. The Society Islands were inhabited for centuries, dating back to at the latest the middle of the first century CE. And yeah Polynesians could sail so well they could easily hit such small islands out in the Pacific and travel back and forth.

The whole argument here about coast hugging water travelers compared to sea faring is amusing to me. It's a persistent myth that the ancient peoples only hugged the coast when they hit the water. It's only recently that some anthropologists are beginning to bow to archaeology in regards to whether the ancient Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians hugged the Mediterranean coast or not. Archaeology is showing that they didn't simply hug the coast.

DNA is showing, as the above map showed, that humans hit the Americas way further back than has been assumed over the past century. Archaeology is backing up that assertion plus sea faring peoples from Europe arrived before Clovis and Asians such as the Chinese hit South America over the past few centuries.

I think we'll continue to find new artifacts that will challenge what has been taught in schools but myths die hard.

Here's more stuff on their ridiculously incomprehensible "blogs". It's another stpry about the Aisan pic, but has more details of the other crap:

"How To cease locks the loss In ladies - suggested Ways [sic]" read one typical post headline. From the entry:

"Indiscriminate locks the loss is among the nagging wellbeing dangers we endure from while in the current time. You may really feel dropping locks past your manage on account of some unmanageable factors. In fact, this really is pretty a typical matter on the existing time that a quantity of wellbeing periodicals explore the options to cease locks the loss in women. You may have arrive throughout this sort of content articles popularly offered in different wellbeing and elegance..."
Another post headlined "adcarnalityed badly in creating an ergonomic ambiance," was entirely incomprehensible:

I began seeking into lathtop bends for my laptop for one acumen, to advance my ergonomic ambiance. Like abounding of us my plan involves apparatus the computer eactual day, and I was acquireing astringent astriction issues in my abutting with the laptop sitting down on the lath. As an audio ambassadorCHI Hair Straightener I abrasion archbuzzs frequently as able-bodied, and...
Other poetic post titles included "or archetype adaptnate, carrots and tomatoes or celery and oambits," "twice - - the stone refused to," and "Desiring to escape his bare centermost blazon existence-and a blocked."

Zerochance: Zerochance: I'm Latino. In both speeding tickets I've had in my lifetime, the police officers listed me down as "Asian".

I guess I should point out that I am in Kentucky.

My mother and her sisters, all hillbillies from Kentucky, where briefly removed from their tour bus in San Diego by a Latino immigration officer when they failed to answer a question, in Spanish, about their citizenship.

[in best yoda voice] and that is why you fail

Bhasayate: If Democrats did this we'd here things like: In all fairness, my wife is Filipino. Some people think she's black, sometimes they think she's Mexican. And she's relatively light skinned. It can happen!

How is that different from what we're "hereing" in this thread? Several people have posted similar examples of confusion about someone's ethnic background.

WhyteRaven74: GAT_00: . The entirety of the Americas was populated at nearly the same time

Actually it wasn't. Though what a lot of us were taught in grade school has been inverted. Turns out the Inuit instead of being the first arrivals are the most recent. As in just barely made it here before the land bridge went away. Other native Americans come from before they got here. Indeed based on genetic studies those in South America got here first. As for sea travel, that explains Pacific Islanders from Samoans to Hawaiians to the Maori of New Zeland etc. They're all closely related and only way they could have gotten where they got is with boats. Turns out Thor Heyerdahl was right all along. Just took geneticists to convince the anthropologists he was right. And that they wasted 40 plus years.

Chompsky also set the study of language back 40 years with his innate grammar theory. god damn ocial scientists speculating without real data or hypothesis testing.

Not only that, it would invalidate a lot of the foundations of "First Nations" law, which assumes that the current residents of the land (prior to europeans) was the "First." Kennewick Man discovery was already a shot across the bow on that, and First Nations wasted no legal resource in squashing all scientific access.

If First Nations was nothing but the conquerers who prevailed and were left standing when Europeans first arrived, that screws up a lot of convenient narratives about how deprived and sad it was that we took their land. When "First Nations" may well have done the same damn thing to earlier tribes who were already in North America.

We seem to have been the first that used alcohol though. Alcohol and smallpox, together in victory.

In all fairness Latinos come in all races....

but Asians are some of the least representative of that community.

borg: I know Asians who get mistaken for Mexican/Indian & visa versa all the time. The Spaniards put their dick in everything.

I'm of Mexican decent and occasionally get mistaken as asian or mestizo. Those Spaniards are horny bastards.

You've got a real future as an "overzealous staffer," dude. There's a lot of money to be made in that profession.

I'm not defending anyone I'm a 46 year old slacker in San Francisco I hear & see that same mistake being made by liberals all the time it's fairly common in an area with a lot of Asians and hispanics. I've even seen people of those races make that mistake

from personal experience, esp during the 8 years I lived in San Diego, it does happen

feckingmorons: They're Korican

Zerochance: I'm Latino. In both speeding tickets I've had in my lifetime, the police officers listed me down as "Asian".

I think that's more an indictment of your driving skill than anything.

Brazilianese?

Living in Hawaii I'm finding some of these comments about polynesia both hilarious and wrong. Especially from WhyteRaven74. Studies have shown, eh? Care to share?

They couldn't find any Hispanic children? Does this mean we're really not being overrun by all the evul Messicuns who are just waiting to take everyone's job? Or is this the attention to detail we can expect in a Romney administration?

This is what happens when IT professionals get involved.

So angry at Asians being imported to take their jobs for less money that all they see are Asians.

I don't know why they just couldn't use pictures of hispanic children and parents attending their rallies and other events.

/oh wait....

thurstonxhowell: My girlfriend is Filipino, but she learned how to speak Spanish in HS/college. People approach her speaking Spanish all the time and she just rolls with it.

Meanwhile, her family speaks Tagalog and she usually doesn't have a clue what they're talking about.

Well, this guy actually WAS a well known racist, and actually did think he was Mexican. I forgot to include that part, as Daddy got his father's day celebration on early and was nursing a hang over this morning.

Sorry about that. Would have made for a much better story that way.

Ned Stark: Wait, they were a Spanish colony to. Question still makes sense.

See my answer to thurstonxhowell above. I dropped the ball on my storytelling a bit.

You fool! You've exposed the secret communications site for CIAlqueda! Simply take the third letter of every fifth word and the first letter of every third word, transpose laterally equivalent to the binary numbering presented in the tenth and twentieth words, subtract the number of spaces on the second line and there you have it.

coeyagi: AiryAnne: So if you say you can't tell the difference between races, you're a racist. But if you say you can see difference between races, you're racist?

I think the real racist is US News: "HAHA GOP CANT TELLS THAT SLOPEY EYED YELLOW CHIRENNS ARENT TEH MEZKINS!! ALL MEZKINS ARE TEH BROWNS WITH ROUND EYEZ!!"

Fact: There are a lot of Latinos with Asian ancestry.

I think the main story here is that the RNC is lazy. A third party vendor put together a site with some stock photos tagged as ASIAN and no one noticed? Lazy shiats.

I think the main story here is that you're responding to a race-baiting post written by a person whose handle is "Aryan".

Funny thing is; that makes more sense than the farking blog bits I posted... :-P

Saturday's Warrior: For my part, it touches my heart to see the way the RNC has been inspired by God in this way. It seems as if the person responsible for crafting these ads was truly in tunes with the promptings of the spirit. The Asian origins of the people of central America have been well documented for nearly two hundred years. Is it POSSIBLE that the descendants of Lehi's family (to say nothing of the brother of Jared's people) were contemporaries of other Asians who arrived by way of the Bering Straight as well, but it would be a historical travesty to make this into political mudslinging and overlook the plain and simple truth of the Lamanite origins of Central and South American people. I know with every fiber of my being that this has been revealed to us in these latter days.

I would like to bear my testimony that I know the RNC is true, and the only true political organization on the face of the earth today. By abiding by its principles, we can become closer to our Heavenly Father and share in family life through the eternities. It is my hope that you will all come to know this, by the power of the Holy Ghost. I say these things to you in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen.

The hand of the Lord at work

Just for you (and anyone else who doesn't already know where your FARK handle comes from).

When I lived in SF in the late 60s, there was a Japanese family that had moved to SF after many years in Mexico. The kids spoke Spanish, not Japanese, and the oldest boy was named Hector Masumoto. Go figure.

CSB candidate.

So are you Japanese or Chinese?

We are Colombian, mang.

So are you Japanese or Chinese?

It on a whole different continent we speak a complete different language. Our history is old than that of North Americans.

So are Japanese or Chinese?

fark dis. We go back.

You're surprised?

The Republican party should use an official Mexican government depiction of Latinos/Latinas.



That way nobody will be offended.

Whitey does know he be in the minority now, right?

Well I would have been talking to "Erection" about the matter but that guy seems to be AWOL these days. I think he's saving up content from God knows where to unleash upon Fark around September.

Heh. Good point.
