Still sounds like blackface to me sorry to say. Your long-standing cultural tradition may have originated separately from American blackface, but it's the same thing. Painting yourself another color to look like you're based on a real race of people is only non-racist in a country that has never had a history of racism, which is none of them, and certainly not the Netherlands. The difference is that America can admit its blackface ~traditions~ were racist, and you still won't.

I'm nearly positive that 'racist' doesn't mean what you think it means.

Also, way to miss a cultural cue.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
So basically this is yet another "America is so progressive and superior to you backwards Europeans".

Yeah, right.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
Either that, or they're saying "Americans are offended by it, so you should stop."

Nevermind the fact that America does plenty of culturally insensitive things, and don't give two fucks when people from that culture complain about it or ask them to stop. (e.g. the current Redskins debate is a prime example)

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
While I agree with your point in general, I have to ask: did whatever group the Redskins are based on tell them to stop? *is interested*

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Several, repeatedly, ad nauseam.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Although I guarantee you that the SJWs objecting to your European possibly-blackface are also strenuously opposed to the Redskins thing.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Or Europe saying, "We don't care if we live in a globalized world, we like what we do and we are going to do it even if it offensive." (goes back to sticking head in sand.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Every country says that with regard to other cultures' mores. Or are you going to suggest that everyone in America give up eating beef? 'Cause let me assure you, there are people who find that offensive.

And while you're at it, ban the use of 'paddy wagons' in common speech and all reference to them. 'Cause that's an actual racial slur.

It's ridiculous for one culture to assume that it's the bestest, rightest culture ever and all the other ones ought to erase everything that might ever offend it.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Except not, because Irish(hi whiteys) isn't a race.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Have you never gotten a job? It's right there among all the other ones.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-11 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
They weren't considered to be white back in the day, which is part of why the english wouldn't hire them.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-12 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
Lol yeah no.

(Anonymous) 2013-10-10 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you know what a dark elf is?

That's Scandinavian in origin. It has nothing to do with other cultures or races. None.

The only legit cause you maybe have for complaint is the later addition of the Moorish clothes and later portrayal. But the rest of it is rooted in ancient culture.
