Fun fact: although the word is used in the book, it’s never once used as part of Jim’s name. It originates from a 1912 biography of Mark Twain’s, if I recall correctly

How would you like it getting called "Northpole"?

alex rabkin

Idk i mean i kinda might look at them like huh and resume what i was doing

Robert Williams

Schwarzer Ritter Dude, that would actually be cool

Carl Hansen

If people of my race were calling each other "Northpole" and it was already an established thing that is acceptable to do, I would have no problem being called "Northpole" by a person of another race. But if it were a completely unsolicited term that someone were calling me just because I am white, who has never heard me called that term before, nor has ever heard me use that term for a person, I would have a problem with it.

Carl Hansen

Tailuigi, if you were from Grise Fjord on Ellesmere Island, that would be even more accurate. As the magnetic north pole is on that island.

@M E Seriously though, why do Blacks use the word if it’s so bad? If i regarded a word as an attack, then i would associate it with something heart wrenching no matter who says it. I just wanted to stay away from it altogether.

@Jayvee Just say you want to be racist. Don't use non-arguments like "no word is restricted from anyone" or whatever it was you said. Just come out and say you wish you could be outwardly racist with no consequences.

John Decker

@Psychonautsupreme : I'd buy that if it weren't for the fact that the vast majority of people who get pissed off about "PC bullshit" don't actually care about or support action on climate change or rampant economic inequality. In fact, they're usually extremely hostile toward anyone who does.

And if the one thing stopping them from supporting policies that actually would make the world a better place is that they get their little feelings hurt from being criticized for telling racist jokes, then, well, what the fuck is wrong with them? Their priorities are messed up.

@JT Szabo They tend to imply relation by the person looking like a version of Peter Griffin, but different. And his ancestor totally was a Peter Griffin, so it's defo his relative. All the other technicality is just plot bs that Seth made up as he went. Like canon conflicting with other canon because the creator is lazy and just makes jokes more than consistent plot. Lmao.
