Check out Tolerance.org tomorrow, they'll be an article about Maxim's f* up article called "Maxim's Kick-Ass Workout" by Daniel Kraus, Illustrations by Steve Cross Pgs. 74, 76, 78. It was bought to their attention by OCAPICA. It's in Maxim's Feb. 2003 issue.

They have a computer generated illustration of a white guy kicking the crap out of Gandhi-like figure. They could have made the illustration look like so that you couldn't tell what ethnicity either person was, where both figures were generic figures. They could have made the person white. But noooooooooo. They didn’t choose Martin Luther King Jr., someone who regarded Gandhi highly, they didn’t choose Jesus, another pacificist, they choose Gandhi, an Asian, a “safe target.”

Basically it implies that Asian men are weak, wimps and inferior, especially to white men.

This is really disturbing since post 9-11, many South Asians and those appearing to be Muslim were brutally attacked in hate crimes.

And what is Maxim saying about ppl that are opposed to the war?

But have no fear OCAPICA and MANAA and yours truly has something up their sleeves. TBA later.
