I don't think Joel's post was meant to be culturally insensitive or in poor taste...

Default kinda like all the accepted references to 'ricers', a truly culturally sensitive term
used only in the best of taste.

If anything semantically correct. The more germane question: what does your post intend to achieve?

Default Narative subtitle: Clever substitution of Emporer (Japan) for Kaiser (Germany)...
Could be misunderstood, however.

Default I agree. Personally, I do not use the term and find it objectionable, but people are free to do/say
what they please. As I am free to label or classify them into "types" of people, based on their actions or words...

My point above is simply that I do not think Joel had any "unpleasant" intention in his post... that's all.

I found Joel's post to be in poor taste, mine was meant to point that out.

Default If anything, I think *your* "Empala sirvera" post was the culturally insensitive one,...
plus it implied something which wasn't intended. I'll argue that Joel's post was indeed the culturally sensitive one, because he merely pointed out that Japan had an Emporer, not a Kaiser. What's the bfd?
