CAGiversary!

[quote name='Graystone'][quote name='Xevious']that was mildly amusing.[/quote]

thats the words I was looking for.[/quote]

I would tend to agree, except bump it down on the amusing scale a few points.
 
May I ask how you could possibly find it "offensive?"

If you're offended by that because you're Chinese or something, then really, how are you surviving in the real world?!

yes i am chinese and i find it offensive to me because i considered this racist by making fun of how chinese have heavy accent. i personally dont have an accent because i grew up here but my parents and other relatives do so by saying all these so called jokes, in a very indirect way you are making fun of how chinese speak their english. would you be offended if someone made fun of your race/gender/religion? you asked me how i survive in the real world well i would just dont care for people who make fun of others just because they dont speak correctly. notice i didn't say anyone in particular, here or anywhere because i know you got it off of the internet. i've seen this somewhere and i am not about to start anything at all. i'm just expressing my feelings towards these kind of "jokes"

edit: i also find it offensive because it is using words that are translation from chinese characters to english. someone else in an earlier post has already find it offensive

I also find it offensive at some levels. I'm not Chinese but Taiwanese. I grew up here but my parents did not.

I can tell someone who mildly knows the language wrote most of the phrases too. That's just based on my knowledge on the language and english. I know I'm never going to use those phrases in public because there are plenty of people around me who would be offended.
