DescriptionIn the name of human equality, it is necessary to provide a week of recognition for ALL ethnicities represented at the University of Saskatchewan.
March 22nd to 29th is a week to recognize the achievements of Asian people in Saskatchewan. Many physicians, engineers, professors, business owners, and other prominent people in Saskatchewan are of Asian descent.
You can participate in this very special week by attending any class taught by an Asian professor or by raising relevant and non-relevant Asian issues (such as the evolution of DDR) in your classes (regardless of their subjects), being EXTRA proud of being Asian, perhaps by asking out that shy asian girl from class, or just high-fiving some asian dude in the Arts Tunnel.

Also, if you don't do it, you are a racist.

Too funny.

Wanna bet on this fellow's major? Engineering, Physics, Medicine? Or English, Poli-Sci, Sociology?

And why can't we all get a very special week?

Actually, this is the relevant portion:

"Re: Aboriginal Achievement Week @ U of S"

"Also, if you don't do it, you are a racist."

They're being sarcastic.

To friggin stupid to even comment on.Yup.Slap that Asian dude,and get kicked out.Or better yet,ask that "shy little Asian gal out",and see how her gang reacts. ALL non- scientific studies should hve to pay triple tuition,to help fund the sciences,engineering,etc.Let's see how many Taliban Jack's we get out of these so called institutes of higher learning then!

So Asian girls are shy eh? Never heard of that stereotype before.

Than again, I didn't know Chinese people put cat in their restaurant food, and that the cat resembled pork, until the leader of the Liberal party of Canada Michael Ignatieff's chief political organizer and Rovianesque operative, Warren Kinsella, told me so on youtube.

The things you learn from ol' lefty. I feel both enlightened and amused, heh.

Opppsssss...sorry about double post.Guess my white guilt can't tell when to stop.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but, ye gads, you Canadians are weird Is it the cold weather? The short winter days? Such a grim, determined pursuit of universal "brotherhood".

I like the initiative. There should also be Italian, Irish and Greek Appreciation weeks. Why just Aboriginal?

So, when is German week, or will we just wake up one day and be in the middle of it?

I think a German Achievement Week would be swell.

I must be sick or something because I think that billypaintbrush's comment borders on brilliant.

WHOOOOSH.

That was the sound of the point flying well over the heads of almost all the previous commentors.

Keep it up guys!

Kate:

Are you billypaintbrush?

Not all Asians were created equal, according to my girlfriend. She's from southern China, and she's a racist. She's quite proud of it. We have some very lively debates about who invented stuff, and whose kung fu is more powerful.

To the best of my knowledge, she's never fed me cat meat. Not that I'd complain. The way Chinese prepare meat, it might as well be cat.

There is the going to be a discussion about the evolution of the DDR--the former East Germany. This was when Europe ended west of the Elbe River and Asia started east of Lubeck, West Germany.

Sorry, Dorothy. You're not in Karl Marx Stadt anymore.

Did anyone go to the link?

I don't see any comments on the profile pic.

I'm Asian, and I'm amused and offended by this stupid event.

I'm seriously trying to figure out which is funnier, the facebook entry or these comments.

That was flying over with four engines, Yukon. Possibly six. That'd make it an Antonov.

When is Scots week, and will there be haggis? We invented the frickin' telephone y'know. Bwaha!

"We invented the frickin' telephone y'know."

Along with curling, profit, and men who can wear wool next to the skin.

DDR? What does Double Data Rate memory have to do with this? Is this like twin spirits?

I liked university better when Engineers fired miniature canons, put nekkid ladies on horses and wandered the halls looking for beer(or fellow engineers with beer).

The art of taking the piss is not lost. Let's all give Michael two thumbs up and follow his example.

Closer to the end of the year do you think they might have time to slip in an Appreciate a White Anglo Saxon week??

Just what have you got against human decency, Rob C?

I'm waiting for Dutch Achievement week...
Wait, that would probably be more like just an afternoon

or perhaps we can just do it Thursday over lunch.

Is it against "THE RULES" to be appreciated and white

Kate, you should know that a Macmillan invented the pedal bicycle.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_inventions

Ne'er mind yer wee bloody week. Scots Appreciation MONTH. Wi' a Highland Appreciation Fortnight in it.

I think the Anglo-Saxons have achieved too much to need an Anchievement Week.

Achievement, even.

Asians, now: Do they mean Orientals or Subcontinentals? Because frankly, neither of them need an Achievement Week either. But I do NOT recommend "asking out that shy asian girl" if she happens to be Pakistani. The shy ones have the assertive brothers.

I don't do Facebook ... but, anyway ...

OH. MY. G*****D.

We'll let you know. In the meantime, you would be prudent to ask fewer impertinent questions.

Kate:
"I think a German Achievement Week would be swell."

Correct. But only one week? Guess again, Fraulein.

Guys the profile picture !!

It's "Fruit Fly Guy"

Doesn't anybody go to the links?

Just like him to say.

Germans are unfairly stereotyped as being humourless, dour, unspontaneous and robotic.
Nothing could be further from truth! We Germans love to laugh and tell jokes.
The following mirthful example will serve to dispell this unfortunate myth.

Joke No. 001:

Q: Why was the blonde fired from the M&Ms factory?

A: Repeated absence and stealing.

When I click on the link all I get is a face book log in screen. I don't use face book and it will be a frosty friday in hell before I do.

However, judging by the comments, when do I get my Red Neck Racist Appreciation day?

Dave.

Being Aboriginal, I tend to wonder how they can possibly have an aboriginal achievement week. I know they mean well, but aboriginal achievement seems like a bit of an oxymoron. Some of us are nice people, but just not high on the achievement scale.

Sort of like having a Rosie O'Donnell School of Beauty.

I do understand the point of having an Asian Achievement week as a protest to Native Achievement Weak. I propose the following to emphasize the positive attributes of aboriginals:

They could have a French Achievement Week. Highlights include:
- no bathing or showers allowed during the week.
- ladies armpit hair growing contest
- the theme song could be 'Surrender' by Cheap Trick
- Jerry Lewis film festival
- White flag raising ceremony

German appreciation week! Wunderbarl!

..but first we annex the U of S

My grandpa loved the prairies..said it was perfect tank country..

German acheivement week is called Oktoberfest. I think its the best ethnic week, and anyone can't see why, three words: meat and beer.

(or beer and meat)

"vould you like to hear the sound of sleigh bells Colonel Klink ? "coming at you on ze russian front"

With apologies to general Burkhalter.

I heard someone say something recently about all the "visible minorities" in Toronto. Excuse me, but as a white person of mostly English, Irish & Scottish descent, I now belong to the smallest visible minority group in this city.

As so often happens, last night at the food court in the Eaton Centre and on the TTC, I felt like I had left Canada and been transported to another country (say, a more racially integrated China). Where have all the white people gone? It's like there was a genocide when no one was paying attention. (The genocide of low birth rates for various reasons.)

My grandchildren are going to have to lobby for Scottish, Irish, English, German and Swiss appreciation week because they will be the minority and, if the UK is any indication, our achievements, our substantial contributions to civilization, will be minimized in history class.

And one wonders when Canadian appreciation week is.

Still we should give the asians credit for splitting the atom, discovering the laws of gravity, putting man on the moon, breaking the speed of sound, inventing the internal combustion engine, steam engines, oh wait that was the evil Europeans.

Well maybe give them credit for gun powder and go kill lunch.

Just what asian girls need, more of us white guys asking them out.

Every week is Anglo-Saxon Achievement week.

German Appreciation week?
Already exists, it's in October.

You might know it by it's more common name.

OKTOBERFEST!!!
