When it doesn't matter anymore

Had anyone ever make a remark that should be insulting to u but u found it funny and laughed?

I did last night. I mean the laughing part, not the throwing insult XD

Was having a convo with two of my friends last night and they decided to make a voice call through skype. Me been me, I would talk less when there was more than one people in any conversation because I felt like I'm no longer obliged to talk, prefer to do the listening part more(and u called me creepy, blueekkk)

They kept poking me to talk and I kept refusing. Suddenly, one of them made a racial remark that I think if most of my friends to hear it, he surely gonna be dead by now =P

Strangely, I didn't feel offended by it. I laughed at such remark and he laughed more. Maybe that is why it didn't feel awkward at all. I knew him well enough that I knew that he didn't mean it in an offending way(u aren't, right xp)

For me, the race that I'm born into doesn't held any special meaning and I don't feel any attachment towards it.

Throughout today, I kept smiling whenever I remembered last nite convo again. People must think I'm such a crazy person xP Even now while writing this, the grin is plastered on my face =D

Oh well. I know that that is his payback for me calling him 'tanned chinese' =P hahahahaha

  4. I think when you are so comfortable with someone, your skin colour no longer matters. And you don't need to walk on eggshells thinking you'll make a racist comment and the other person will take offence. I have many friends from 'other races' as well so I guess I get what you meant.

    1. yeah, very true...it doesn't have to be a sensitive issue if u dont take that as one in the 1st place..a race is something u are born with, like family..

  5. oh well, racist comments are meant for people with the funny faces. Other than that, prepare for trouble and heck its going to be double.

    i think my close friends from other races, well in selangor will be fine; but the uni friends from outskirts probably take them really personally.

  6. hahahaha u know it doesnt matter when u can comfortably make racial remarks with ur friends of a different race LOL

    last night was funny n i think it was the second time Joker did it d! NAUGHTY BOY report him to ISA! XD

    = ) but seriously Soul, i think we are so integrated on skype us lots that i sometime forgot our races, not that it matters, it's just great. u know how sometimes when u talk to ppl n u r suddenly reminded of who they are or represent n u have to be extra careful when u say things LOL, but then again with my close friends we always make racial jokes between asians n non asians hahaha all out of good humour!

    skype was fun sorry i disappeared!
