Naruto

I can't be jealous of a food that claims to be vegetarian and doesn't taste good unless it is prepared with an authentic stock.

And don't you think Noir might take issue with you proposing to random ladies?

RE: dietary necesity: of course that's cool. My dad has had to be a psuedo-vegetarian since he suffered renal failure earlier this year.

Well, I mostly eat tofu fried or in Vietnamese dishes. Tofu by itself is just odd. Not bad, but a bit odd.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can marry you since my home state of Texas hasn't legalized same-sex marriage yet. And don't forget Noir.

So. Naruto. It is now my personal canon that Gaara is vegetarian.

Hey, she likes tofu!

That's so rare I don't even...

You know, that actually makes a lot of sense. Might be for the same reason some veterans don't eat certain foods.

Gaara feeds on sand. True story.

Huh. Turns out his favourite foods are salted tongue (I love that one!) and...gizzard.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Well, there goes that idea.

Tongue is actually quite tasty, but gizzard is actually quite nasty.

@Oh no a Bear

lol when my hairs done right I can (sorta) :p

The pic itself is a inner-city style Ino, by an artist on Da that does wonderfully drawn AU's of the character in more urban environments.

@Comet: I'm quite mad at Texas right now. Apparently, one of the school districts I went to doesn't have the time to teach black history month. I told Byakugan, as we're both black males in Texas, but since there's another texas resident here, I thought I'd let you know.

I dislike gizzard, which is unusual for people from my country. Never had tongue (in more ways than one, sadly).

Dang it. It would make so much sense.

Cow tongue is pretty good.

@wanderlust: I heard rumblings of this from friends in-state. So what about when MLK Day rolls around? Does he just not exist?

Ino Yamanaka? And a name or link for that artist, cause it is good work.

I always found devoting a whole month to black history kinda odd, but then again I'm white and pretty oblivious.

Well, there's a fish we call tongue over here, and it's delicious.

Schools in the US have a black history month?

Mhmm, February. It can be especially interesting in Atlanta.

And Latinos only get a week. In some places.
I had a (white) teacher at my college that had political cartoons on his door. One was of segregated fountains. The stream of water on the "Colored" fountain said February. The one on the White fountain said "January-March-April-May..."

It's important to be sure we teach about all the cultures that make up America because we all bring something to the country. There was a Latino movement in recent years for "A Day Without a Mexican", to prove that point.

I had no idea, which is exactly the problem I have with this kind of stuff being removed.

And Asian Pacific American Heritage Month is in April but it's never a big deal. And there's a week devoted to Native Americans I think...which I can't place right now.

Wow...a different time of the year for different ethnic groups...I am surprised. Kudos to you for learning all that.

Holy crap, there's something white and furry on your head!

April. I never celebrate despite being Asian.

You had better be asian, because if not, holy shit was that racist. And as we all know, you're only allowed to be jokingly racist to European-descent people. The following is one of the most hilarious lines in all of cinema.

Currently looking the scene with Tom Hagan and Jack Woltz in The Godfather. It seems to be hard to find because it's constantly overshadowed by the horse-head scene, which came shortly after.

It would be less racist. I don't like N-Word Privileges either, though occasionally it can make for a funny joke about itself.

No, it'd still be racist. A black person who tells a joke about black people is still making a racist joke. Not a big believer in N-Word Privileges. Either everyone can say it or no one can.

Well, we make derogatory jokes on ourselves all the time here. It's one of the national passtimes.

I guess it's still offensive generalisation though.

It would not be less racist. The source of a joke is irrelevant to its contents.

It kind of reminds me of the various organizations that try to get rid of Native American mascots from sports...and these organizations aren't composed of Native Americans. There was a case on the east coast a few years back in fact.

So. Racism in Naruto. I guess it doesn't exist?
