I got it. And I laughed, good post.
He wasn't insulting him. It's like joking around with you black friend about him being black. Stop trying to be so PC.

So you don't see anything wrong with making fun of people that are mentally retarded, because they are parallel situations.. (unless you make fun of person x for being black because he's like the only black person in your city or something.)
But making fun of DTBK by saying he is albino, like there is something wrong with being albino is just like making fun of mentally retarded people.
Anyway.. if he's not Korean... what is he.. JAPANEESE!

There's a difference between making fun of the mentally challenged, and the physically different. The physically different can share a mutual laugh.
Oh, and
*Syphon does a little dance. It doesn't make using Albinism with a negative connotation right...
You're right people with pasty white skin and red eyes look completely normal.
Where's the negative connotation by the way?
That's not the point, they have no choice over how they look, and are born like that. Don't go and make fun of them for something they can't control, that's cruel.
Uhh, the negative connotation was that in your joke, everything you listed was negative, making fun of him saying he doesn't go outside = negative. Being unhealthy because he is too addicted to getting off his ass = negative. The things you listed there were negative. And even though you weren't insulting DTBK, you still used being albino as something negative.
Yes, let's all stop albino jokes. In fact, let's stop black jokes, meksican jokes (lawl), midget jokes, etc. Or maybe, we can lighten up and look at it as it is: a joke.
He wasn't joking about albinism, he was joking about insulting DTBK, and one of the insults he used was about being albino... really not that hard to understand.
I'm not sure how your viewing it, but I'm pretty certain the whole original post was just a joke. After reading over the exaggerations, it's pretty clear that he wasn't insulting to hurt feelings, but more so for the sake of comedy. So basically, you find albino jokes fine until somebody actually applies it to somebody? I'm lost.
No, it's not that I care that he wasn't insulting anybody to (DTBK's) hurt feelings or anything. And I don't have a problem with saying like "wow, that dude looks like he's albino, he should get out in the sun more". But to say jokingly that "DTBK is albino" as if it were something negative, like not going outside, or being unhealthy because he is too glued to the computer is wrong.
Sorry if I came off confusing or something, I just don't like the idea of Golden-Fist using Albinism as an insult, even if there was no harm meant in the insult, and the insult was just a joke.
So basically, you don't like how he said albino instead of pale. Yeah, this is getting nowhere.
I'm glad to see you're all trying to stick up for my feelings, bu Golden-Fist has been insulting me, or joking about it, forever, and I don't really care about it in this instance. There isn't a real use in arguing over it.
Uhh, being albino and being pale are two different things... I don't like how he used a genetic disorder that you can't control that plagues peoples life, sometimes limiting them from living a full one, as an insult.
I'm not trying to stick up your feelings ~.~ I just don't think it's right for Golden-Fist to use Albinism as an insult like he did... but anyways I'll stop..

^ Truth.
Seriously, if there's an albino on this forum they can tell me if they're offended.
I Found a picture of DTBK.
