Do you ever hear Asians address each other as "chink" or "Chinaman"? Nope, at least I don't. It's another way of reminding yourselves (and everyone within audible range) of your minority status. Same goes for "nigger", no matter who uses it. "Brotherhood" among blacks is an unhealthy mentality; it implies that all blacks are bound together in a way that can't be shared with other races.
Oddly enough, I have heard Asians address each other as "niggers", on several occasions.

There's also that whole "Azn" subculture thing, or whatever the hell they call it.

Meh. Most of the "AZN PRYYYYDE jO!!!1" types are white guys. It's the 21st century equivalent of "wiggers."

Spike Lee is a cunt. You know why noone will criticise his movies badly? They'll be pegged as RACIST because his movies are Blacktastic. More like Blacksploitation.

There is one benefit to having people identifying themselves as "azn." Whenever you're playing an online multiplayer game and you see someone with "Azn" in their name in some form or another, you know who to kill first.

I haven't seen many Spike Lee movies, but I did think that Malcolm X was very good.

After about one quarter of the movie, I was so sick of the movie's overt "look at me, I'm black!" and "let's talk about blackness!" bullshit that I was ready to throw a brick through the TV.

Yes, you're black. Get the fuck over it already. Don't these people realize that they're not solving or helping anything by obsessing over that which makes them different?

PS. It received critical raves, of course. And naturally, every black guy in the movie refers to every other black guy in the movie as "nigger".
Yes, blame them for having their own subculture. No one forced you to watch the fucking movie. If you don't agree with the approach boycott it! Read a review before wasting your time if it bothers you that much. Personally such things do not bother me, but maybe it has to do with being previously exposed to it.

Actually, yes. There is no reason why every race should have a distinct and separate "culture". That is racial balkanization, and it perpetuates racial divides.
No one forced you to watch the fucking movie.
Did I say that anyone had? No. So what does this have to do with any of the points I've made? Absolutely nothing. Try a grown-up argument next time.

I've heard Asians refer to each other at chinks but these are my closest friends and we call each other every name in the book.
