Clever implies there was something astute in the observation. Jokes made a million times over by various people aren't clever by definition.

Honestly it wasn't funny. Objectively it was just a pretty stale joke and not that clever. I'm not bothered by him making it, but the fact that white people still think the 'haha ghetto names!' thing is fresh or humorous—that's why we call them 'nillas. So uninspiring.

Oh come on, we both know race and culture intersect, especially in a country with a majority native population. But I didn't meant to imply it was because of race, was just relating my experience that men who are ethnically french are much less aggressive about it

I mean it doesn't but when you preface it with 'you didn't get it' and then explain it incorrectly and then imply he thinks all black people are stupid while looking like a kinda dumb brown lady yourself....too much too much

I'm baffled by the number of people who think the joke is 'ha, black people are dumb and can't spell.' He's making fun of ghetto names.

Y'all are dumb as hell. He isn't making fun of italian accents. Or any accents.

You clearly didn't get the joke. It was a 'ghetto names' joke, not a 'haha dumb blacks' joke.

Wait, what's the grapefruit extract for?

I've noticed that it definitely depends on where you are. There are tons of Indian and Pakistani men in new york and I can't recall ever being harassed by one. But the ones in Paris are very different. I think it's generally a combination of their own culture and the perceived permissiveness of the where they are.…

You know, the mother/daughter/sister thing almost always works. But then I get pissed off that someone has to say it in the first fucking place. Like can't you make that connection yourself, asshole? Argh

I know lots of awesome French men. But if you read my original post, I was speaking of Parisians specifically.

Agreed. Especially the last guy who offered a goofy smile. One thing that's always so off putting about guys leering is they often don't smile. It really is an aggressive and uncomfortable thing.

I took objection to the idea that every time a man does something that makes a woman uncomfortable the goal was to make her uncomfortable. That's stupid.

I don't know why it's so mind blowing to you to consider that sometimes shitty people know that they're being shitty. If a man mimics cunnilingus at me as I pass, does he not know he's being a shit head? Of course he does, he just doesn't care.

Racist would be here implying the behaviour is something inherent within indian men rather than just a really appalling culture. I know those kind of critiques are hard to take from outsiders, but her experience is valid.

I didn't say it doesn't happen in the US. I said 'there are very few places.' This is a cultural difference in that Americans are lot more likely to be willing to throw down than French people. Like an american guy you don't know is more likely to take a punch for you than a French one.

Lol I said HIT genius, not hit on. You know, like knocked the fuck out? Christ.

Look, it's pretty obvious you have some things to say that aren't actually related to my post, so make your own thread? Cause I made no general statements about 'men' or even men who 'look.' I'm talking about dudes who sit next to me on the train and stare at me while licking their lips or some other gross shit. I…

It's really bad in Paris too (although rarely from white French guys) and I was pretty dismayed to find that my standard responses in New York (telling him to fuck off) could get me hurt here. American men get a lot of flack but there are very few places in the US where a man can publicly hit a woman and no one will…

My point, which I apparently buried too deeply for you to find: THIS AD IS NOT ABOUT THE WESTERN GAY DUDE EXPERIENCE. No one is making an ad saying 'people of the world, do not look at other people of the world.'
