china shouldn't be allowed in the olympics.. i'm sure we'd be winning gold too if we had little swea
This was my cuz's Facebook update that kinda ticked me off. It's a prime example of "Teens Know Everything." --- and this is the conversation that followed.
Gilbert:I really agree with this. also I miss you!!!
Me: hmmm... no
Mike: ahhh this is a little racey
CUZ: i'm not hating on china, i've got two chinese cousins, so its cool.. im hating on their system. and david "hmm no" what? its not like they are earning it, these kids were given up by their parents and taken into a olympic training world from age 4...sooo I APOLOGIZE if im deeply offending anyone but for real these figure skating results are getting me hella pissed. im having mad flash backs to gymnastics in beijing...
Gil: stop hating on kat! she's right, they treat their athletes really poorly and basically farm girls to become gymnasts and figure skaters to compete in the olympics. this is bullshit!
CUZ: im deleting that mike cause its rude, i didnt use an racial slures... i said exactly what's still their- im hating on the system..anddd i dont even say the n word and i have a black family member so suck it mike...
Hanna: Haha u should probably never post shit like this cuz then you're gonna get shit from people who have nothin better to do..haha so lesson learned? I think so hahaha
CUZ: hahahaha true hannaHhHhhHHh♥
ME: CUZ, I might suggest a Third World Soc class in the fall - if a child was given up, it was most likely due to poverty and the well-being of the child was at stake. If anything, is it not possible, that this outcome of being at the Olympics might be better than starving in some village? Not to mention, is it not Capitalism that creates the situation to begin with?
ME:I'm not offended - I just think you came up too quickly with this, without considering multiple views
CUZ: I've thought much about the problem so no, I didn't just think quickly about this and I'm not alone, many people protest this issue, werent you around for Beijing? these kids dont lead luxurious lives training for the olympics, its comparable to torture is some sense. So fall back david, also me talking about the children being given up, thats not ... See Morethe part to focus on, if its because of poverty or forthe well being of child, then good, put them somewhere they wont be subjected to the pressures that their country puts them under.
Mike: You are still kinda taking away from their personal victory.
CUZ: Well i hope they dont see my status then.. and why am i getting crap for it ? china took away their childhood start blowing up their wall mike.
Mike: hahahaha i'm not saying the country is right. But you can't be mad at their athletes.
CUZ: where does it say im mad at the athletes... for the third time im mad at their system.
ME: I just think you need to check your ethnocentrism - China's culture is the driving force behind what is going on... not gunpoint
CUZ: i think you used the word ethnocentrism cause i wouldnt know what it means without googling is soo im not even going to look it up to spite your vast amount of fancy vocabulary..and i still disagree with your random devils advocate view on this situation..if this system is chinas culture then its chinas culture that im upset with. what ever you wanna call it its corrupt soooo its not going to help anyone for you to fight this one.. its not right.
Mike: It is corrupt to us, But it's how they are brought up for centuries. Just because it's wrong in ones eyes doesn't mean it's wrong to everyone. I completely agree but you can't shit on a counties culture.
CUZ: woww... just wow.. haha
MIKE: ♥ i'm just arguing for the sake of argument. i couldn't care less haha sorry!!!!
ME: ♥ it's all good
ME: You'll learn about ethnocentrism when you take a sociology class :)
CUZ: looking forward to it, but im gonna guess it wont change my views on inslaving children :)
Me: I don't expect it to... if the class does anything, it will probably make you even more aware of the inequalities in third world countries :)
CUZ: you serious? Just give up.. I know more then you think, you are misinterpreting my status by a long shot..
What do you think?
