Cry harder.It's racist because it depicts an Arab stereotype of a brown man wearing a jubba and a turban. A lot of Arabs would find that offensive since most of them don't even look like that.
for a second there i thought i was looking at the indian dads and sons page on facebook. genuinely one of the funniest (and nsfw) facebook pages
Heh, has to be this.
sorry if it's already been done as there are a few red xs for me
Don't wanna sound like Dave Warner but if you post stuff like this on an english-language forum I think it's only fair to translate it for the rest of us.Bit contextual, but this:
PS. OLX is like eBay in India, far less sophisticated version of it though.
Yeah, this. The rules are pretty clear that everything has to be in English. I realise this isn't always practical with memes and the like so as long as you provide a translation then it's fine.. but if you don't then I'll have to get the hammer out, and that sucks when it's innocent like I presume this is.Don't wanna sound like Dave Warner but if you post stuff like this on an english-language forum I think it's only fair to translate it for the rest of us.
Makes the mods' job easier too.
lel is that you, Towns? Get a grip of yourself.Yeah, this. The rules are pretty clear that everything has to be in English.

Inappropriate ***ual references right here.Get a grip of yourself.
If we didn't think of it in that way before you suggested it, does it make your post an isr?Inappropriate ***ual references right here.
The reason it's a rule is because we don't have mods for every language. Someone could call a member an absolute ****ing **** in a post and we'd have no idea what it said. If I were Towns I'd just follow the rules to the letter and start giving out bans every time someone used a non-English word within taking context, history or intention into account at all.lel is that you, Towns? Get a grip of yourself.
you're right, that probably wasn't worth itI would have translated if it was straightforward statement rather than contextual joke. Anyway, translation is:
Pakistan wont be able to do it [1]. Sell the fireworks on OLX [2]
[1] is funny because it is based on a dialogue from Indian film that became popular
[2] is funny because OLX has the punchline "OLX pe bech de" which means "sell it on OLX
Finally, the pic is funny because it is a still from an ad by star sports which trolls Pakistan for their winless record against India in world cups: http://youtu.be/Za4qBpSQb9A
Trivialising Racism. I expected better.Cry harder.
The fact that Akmal took those selfies without coercion and proudly posted them online just boggles the mind. Amazing.
