DToid And Their Mexican Jokes
kimberly025 | 3:51 AM on 09.03.2007 165 comments


<center></center>

Yes, i was the person who made that video. My name is Kimberly Hayek. I am Mexican American. When will the Mexican stereotypical racial slurs stop on this site? I Google searched and i found an enormous amount of Mexican Jokes on the web site. It seems like editors just can't write something without inserting a Mexican racial slur into what they write. What provokes them into doing this? Do they enjoy bringing the Mexican people down? How come Ron Workman never apologized to his Mexican readers/ listeners? Why not you ask? Because he clearly showed no respect to them. The editors on this site are clearly grown men and women. Why can't they act professionally and act their own age? I sure miss how this site used to run. It was just about gaming and period! No bull shit! I didn't come here lookin' for trouble, I just came to post my thoughts and my opinion on this situation. If you're going to discuss about this, keep it clean, civilized, and please no personal attacks ( i got alot of death threats on YouTube which was NOT funny) . Let's hope things change around here some day. Change is good right? :)

Thank You,

Kim

I am both a Analyst and a Therapist. I just moved them together to save time (and because them dirty New Zealanders have trouble pronouncing "Analyst.")

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go to the pub and drink myself stupid and beat the shit out of people for no reason.

Yeah, what riser said, cept replace all that with Brit jokes.

Seriously, It's not racism. It's poking fun. Brits get steriotyped as being monocle wearing, toff voiced rich people who wear bowler hats and eat veil stuffer with horses. But that's all part of the fun of Destructoid. You'd be better of just embracing your own steriotype and making fun of it yourself than worrying about it and then leaving the site just because of that...

I dunno about racism in America, I really don't know how it works over there. Maybe Mexican racism is rampant, but trust me, this isn't racism. I thought it was hilarious, and the same would have applied if you replaced all the Mexican jokes with Brit ones.

Just laugh along with it, you'll enjoy your life a lot more if you stop worring about innane generalisation that no-one takes seriously anyway.

Jim Sterling and I (plus others no doubt) face constant racial abuse. Our penchant for wearing monocles and eating crumpetty/sconeish snacks, whilst wearing knickers, is well documented.

When will we blog on a dtoid where people can rise above their petty differences, and enjoy a little joke between friends? Perhaps one day, we might even feel comfortable enough with our own ethnicities to make light of amusing stereotypes, under the obvious understanding that none of us truly believe these to be true.

Wait...

I actually bothered to watch the video -- funniest fucking thing I watches this morning. But then again, I am Irish and thus find stupid shit funny (mainly because I'm always drunk.)

It was nice of Microsoft Sam to lend you his woman to do the audio.

"i got alot of death threats on YouTube which was NOT funny"

LOL

Seriously, I cannot stop laughing. This is the best blog post in a while! You have unintentionally built a lulzfactory with out of context comments (joking is not a hard thing to understand), selective quote mining (you don't want to bitch about all of the other stereotype jokes? Just the ones that affect you? You fucking racist) and sweatshop labor (the best kind of labor.)

Kimberly, the problem here is not with Destructoid, it's with you. You seem to lack the ability to understand American humor. In America, racial jokes are extremely common, but that doesn't make us racist. It's when people make truly racist comments, in which they state that they hate all people of a certain race for no reason whatsoever (for a good example, go back in time 40 years), that shit sickens me. When somebody says something like that, they get fucking shunned. But when somebody's just making a joke, it's JUST A JOKE!

Oh lord.

I'm 100% mexican. Jokes are jokes. In fact I'm stealing the wifi from the nearby office building as I sit here waiting outside the Home Depot as I post this.

It's a joke, like this one: What's the difference between a Jew and a pizza? A pizza doesn't scream when you put it in the oven!

^and before you say anything, yes, I'm a Jew, and my step-grandmother is a Holocaust survivor, and I volunteer at the Holocaust Memorial Center. A joke is a joke.

Well, I will say that (in my area, at least), the people that hang around outside the 7-11 and the home depot are Mexican. But that's just observation - I'm not trying to be racist. I know that not all Mexicans are like the guys hanging around outside convenience stores.

I'm a white christian, though, so I basically have very little leverage when it comes to convincing you, seeing as we white people are the source of lots of racism.

For the record; I have never once made any kind of racist comments or slurs in my writings.

That said, I could really go for a Dos Equis or a Corona right now.
