Sorry No Asians
Anywhere fags advertise for action, a proportion of ads end with the words, “Sorry no Asians”. FuelMix has always been curious to know exactly what this means. Attempts to discuss this rationally with other fags proved upsetting – for the fags. Apparently, they felt “violated” and “attacked” that FuelMix would have the temerity to question their motives.
FuelMix is the first to admit that consciously or otherwise, every person has certain sexual types based on a variety of factors such as upbringing, media, social environment and cultural exposure. Fair enough. A fag is fully entitled to pursue his type.
But 2 issues arise: Firstly, in pursuing his type, why is it necessary for a fag to categorically state a ban on another type? Secondly in stating a ban, why does the fag feel he has to apologize for it?
Fags have attacked FuelMix for attempting to inject racism where none exists. They claim those words are a statement of personal preference. FuelMix begs to differ. A statement of personal preference is clear, unequivocal and devoid of an apology. If fags can string the words, “Sorry no Asians”, they are equally capable of stringing a precise and affirmative sentence stating what they do want.
If they have stated what they do want, “Sorry no Asians” becomes redundant.
Which brings us back to the 2 issues stated above. FuelMix contends that those words are entirely racist and illegal. Enough anecdotal evidence from non-white fags exists to show that when they responded to ads, placed by white fags, which omitted the words “Sorry no Asians”, their responses were simply ignored. Either the ads were never properly drafted in the first place or, the white fags didn’t have the guts to write back stating their racial preference. Through inaccuracy, cowardice or cold-shoulder, silence was seen as the best option. To a non-white, that was humiliating and infuriating.
White fags would argue they don't bother to reply to some white fags either. FuelMix reserves the issue of ad responding to another post. That raises entirely different issues. This post deals with the motive behind the presence, or absence, of 3 little words in an ad.
FuelMix states that “Sorry no Asians” is utterly racist, masquerading as politely expressed preference. It is "white washed" political correctness. By contrast, FuelMix did a field test and placed several ads saying “Sorry no Whites”. A barrage of complaints and abuse emanated from outraged white fags accusing him of blatant racism while living in a western country; and for failing to adapt to local social standards.
So, when a white fag says “Sorry no Asians” that’s a “personal preference” but when a non-white fag says “Sorry no whites” that’s racism?
The growing army of readers of this blog will forgive FuelMix for falling on his (well-photographed) bubble butt in incredulous laughter.
Apologetic racism is still racism. And that’s illegal.

hehe - nicely done. Good blog too.
ReplyDelete"apologetic racism"...hmmm, interesting concept. Been on the receiving end of it. And it ain't pleasant.
ReplyDeleteI was more or less with you until your final sentence. What gave you the idea that just because these posts are racist, that they are, or should be, illegal? They're not housing or employment ads, nor are they calling for violent acts to be committed against a certain race.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, I would never, ever post an ad stating "Sorry no XXXX", nor would I respond to one even if I wasn't a member of the race in question. That being said, I certainly hope that there is no court, other than perhaps the Court of Fuel Mix, that would wish to make such ads illegal.
I'm all for fighting these ads with boycotts or perhaps a scathing email, but really, there have already been some pretty laughable cases brought before Human Rights Tribunals in God's Own Herb Farm. We really would not need more silly cases clogging up the system and further limiting Canadians' rights to free expression. Choosing a sexual partner is a personal matter, and while the posts are devoid of class, people should still be free to exercise their right to be devoid of class.
I'm a Caucasian male and I actually prefer Asian guys and I find it very offensive when people say "sorry no Asians''... it is sexual racism! I agree...
ReplyDeleteOn the other side I think it work both ways and after few years in HK I had personal experiences where people told me no because I was white, and there is the same thing out there in websites where Asian guys put "sorry only into asians".
It also happens that being in public places like a sauna or a bar that asian guys seem to like you but are embarassed in front of their friends because of the color of your skin...
So it is a good point, but try to see the other side of the story too...
