Not acceptable to me...

but not much anyone can do about it.  

Except perhaps to say that the reviewer JSHELLY seems to be a literary douchenugget and worthless fistula on the anus of TER.  

Hey is disrespect for disrespect acceptable?

Stupid - yes;  racist - yes.  Acceptable is a very different question.

I really have problems with the idea that speech is "acceptable" or not.   In other words - the idea that this speech merits censorship.  People say things all the time that I don't like or agree with;  but I don't classify their speech as "acceptable" or not.  Sarah Palin, Al Sharpton, Paul Krugman and others come to mind...

Especially a review on a fuck board... which was, frankly, pretty positive.  Reviews say much about the reviewer as well as the subject of the review.  Why would you want to hide his prejudices?  Wouldn't you want to know that before you saw him as a client?  Are you somehow worried that the rest of us will become polluted as a result of reading this?   If this was a kindergarten graduation speech - well OK - I could see where some censorship might be merited.  

If you as a provider do not wish to see the reviewer - you certainly have that privilege.  You even have the privilege of pointing out publicly that the guy is a dick - and that you think his use of racist terms is a bad thing..

Calling for censorship not so much.

Let's see - what year is this?  1952?  Oh no, wait - it's 2015.  Last time I checked.
Then I have no explanation.
Good lord, some folks have no respect.

Nice backhanded compliment, well done.

Now that's not PC, which by and of itself is AWESOME!

This post is genius, but I suspect accidentally, so not as high on the points, and more on the douchey side.

This was like poetry interpretation!  I first to read, she's not typical because she's Thai, and the comma was a hard stop to then say clean and neat were traits she possesses, without the implication that most "yellows" are the opposite.  Which made the term "yellows" flippantly vulgar . . . which for the record is cool, if you don't really mean it with any malice (but a tough sell on a chat board, where tone, etc. is lost).

THEN, I read it to be offensive from yellow to the end, so implication of yellows being dirty was in full effect.  BUT, it's a compliment that is offensive to all but Thais.  Interesting.

Then you look inside this fortune cookie and it says "This is acceptable?"  The "?" makes this whole thing!  Either way you read the subject line, the implication that most yellows aren't acceptable, AND that this one comes with a "?" on the end is cool because it invites the reader to look and decide, while at the same time suggesting that she's not acceptable, even though she's the object of the compliment, which makes the original offense to asains in general all the more strong!

A master stroke against whiny PC pushers.  I think humor trumps the feelings of others 99% of the time, if it is in good spirit.

THEN, this whole thing GIVES again!  Because, once you read the pre VIP intro to the actual review, you see the same phrase repeated for posterity as advice/information for others to follow, and then BAM!  You realize, that in fact this guy is just a douche, and is just being rudely offensive, and doesn't even realize how much so, and that the "?" was probably meant to be a "!", so he's showing poor writing skills and poor human being skills, while trying to be helpful!  

What a great post!  So short and so full of potential meaning, BUT turns out it isn't . . . it's practically a douche Haiku!

And for the record, I've got yellow fever.  I actually have had to go on an Asian diet, I was spending too much time with out enough variety . . . but of course I fell off the wagon and did a Japanese Mexican last week!
