You don't say where you're from, but lets try this. If your city has a "Mexican" part of town, get a bunch of people together and tell them before hand what you're about to say is joke and repeat what you posted here. Then come back and tell me how funny they found it.
I don't need to lighten up, you need to get some common sence.
Post bad stuff about you?? To start off, two wrongs don't make a right. I pride myself of being one of the most open minded and tolerant people on UCP, that would go against my values.
So, it would be ok for you to walk around and say Japanese smell like fish because so much of their diet is made up of see food?

Dude, thank you, I was worried I'm the only open-minded Hispanic male who's passionate about automotives in the world. We make up a very small demographic. I really respect what you say, and I'm with you on it. I'm easily offended when it comes to race, and I try to never speak badly or pass judgements of anyone due to ethnicity. Si se puede haha.

But japanese don't smell like fish.
And mexicans don't smell bad, but apparently I can't make a bizarre story to spoof someone else who thought they did. I have plenty of common sense and I know plenty of people in real life from other ethnicities. They just know how to take a joke when someone is joking.
Freaking touchy people, get tougher skin!

Niko_FX is also latino (from Venezuela), we became friends here on UCP rather quickly and he's a very open minded and tolerant person also. Teatako is also from Mexico but I haven't had the chance to interact with him yet.
I'm glad to see another cool laitino here on UCP. Claro que se puede!!
The problem isn't having a tougher skin, it's that what you posted was in bad taste, spoof or not. Just imagine if I posted something similar regarding another ethnic group, religion or what have you and said they smelled bad and so forth. Joke or not, it's logical that people will take offence to that.
You say you have common sence, let's see you use it.

The problem is you're being too sensitive and somehow seeing this as a personal insult.
First of all, if you actually read, the post referred to mexican NATIONALITY in the first place, not hispanics. In fact I mentioned that this is how you could tell hispanics of mexican NATIONALITY over hispanics from other nationalities. I wasn't referring to race at all. So while YOU might have a valid excuse as the joke applies to you as a Mexican citizen, TVRs is just looking for something to be offended about.
The intention was to spoof 'baddabang's comment that Taco bell smelled bad because of all the Mexicans, which I thought was a strange statement considering Mexican is a nationality, so I made up a spoof story of why nationality might effect someone's smell.
Maybe us USAers are just used to rude comments about us all the time, but seriously if you're going to give other people so much power that they can hurt you just by making up wierd stories about people from your country you are going to have a rather pissed off life. People say bad things about the US all the time. So what? I have enough pride to not care.
Get over it!
And honestly, if you felt like posting some joke about another nationality (or ethnicity or religion) you think I'd get pissed off about it? Do you really?

You just don't get it do you? I don't care what you're intent was, it was in poor taste. You're just to dence to see that. As far as TVRs goes, I doubt he's looking for something to be offended about as you say. He's from California, so I'm willing to bet he's of Mexican origen.
USAers that's a new one. I happen to have dual citizenship, Mexico and the USA, so don't tell me about how Americans can take it. I know both countries and cultures better than you ever will.
I think you would be too self absorbed to care either way.

It may have been poor taste, but its childish to get all bent out of shape about something like this. Most jokes are in poor taste, but people don't go nuts when , OMG the joke might remotely somehow relate to me!You just don't get it do you? I don't care what you're intent was, it was in poor taste.
Unless he's of mexican nationality himself, it does not in any way relate to him. (except that the comment I was parodying was using 'mexican' to mean hispanic, which was the whole point of my little story)As far as TVRs goes, I doubt he's looking for something to be offended about as you say. He's from California, so I'm willing to bet he's of Mexican origen.
USAers is not uncommon usage, and usually used to differentiate citizens of the USA from other people on the North American continent.USAers that's a new one. I happen to have dual citizenship, Mexico and the USA, so don't tell me about how Americans can take it. I know both countries and cultures better than you ever will.
As far as you claiming to have more knowledge of USA culture than someone who has lived there exclusively their entire life, I'm going to have to call bullshit on that one. You're going to have to prove it.
I'm getting the feeling you're realizing you were in the wrong to get all bent out of shape over a parody story of someone else' comment but are too stubborn to admit it and will just keep going on. That's ok, I won't require an apology or anything. You can just drop it.
EDIT: scratch that. I realize I'm setting up a situation where you feel you'll 'lose' if you don't respond now, so say whatever insults you're going to or about how ignorant I am whatever and I won't respond.

Actually I've heard on several occasions that westerners smell like milk. We're just used to it. It's not a bath thing, its like if you eat tons of garlic you'll smell like it. We have two workers at my company right now from India and they smell a bit like curry, just because of the different diet they have. I can tell when they were just in the elevator just as well as I can tell if our front desk secretary that smokes was just in it. At least curry is a nice smell! I imagine they'll lose it pretty quick if they keep eating downtown. If you're a member of the culture you won't really notice because you're used to it.
You are what you eat!
