In case you can't tell, I'm being [[Mad About You]], Scaby.

Anyway, happy belated Fourth of July! As much as it doesn't seem it sometimes, I appreciate how "your side" makes "some good points", too. If Tajik boys and Pashtun girls can't live in a world with ''Seinfeld, Friends, Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night's Main Event'' and everything else real American Peacock subscribers get for a low monthly price, maybe the Taliban ''should have been'' defeated after all.

:What on Earth was 'racist' about it? It was a joke. I haven't a racist bone in my body. In 16 years on Wiki no one has ever accused me of 'racism.' I think you owe me an apology. <br>– [[User:Sca|Sca]] ([[User talk:Sca|talk]]) 12:32, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

::Your "joke" was based on the racist stereotype that East Asians, when speaking English, confuse /l/ and /r/. [[User:Stephen|Step]][[User talk:Stephen|hen]] 23:38, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

:::{{U|Stephen}}: Not at all! That was ''your'' interpretation of it, not my intention or motivation. It was simply a play on a word to substitute for "elected" – which Xi wasn't, not really. (And BTW, one of my closest friends from junior high through college and beyond was a second-generation Japanese-American whose last name was Ujifusa, and whose parents were interned during WWII.) I never dreamed that anyone would interpret my comment as a racial slur. <br>I still think you owe me an apology. – [[User:Sca|Sca]] ([[User talk:Sca|talk]]) 11:56, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

I know Wikipedia is different things to different people, but you are only blocked from one single page, a page you have been blocked from before, for essentially the same reason: using it as a forum for your attempts at humor. This unblock request gives me no confidence that the intended message has been received. [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 22:25, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
