Sure I do. Show me a source stating that "zipperhead" has to do with dead communists rather than those of Asian descent.....:juggle:
Waiting......
Was he talking to communists or Asians?
Get a clue.

Get a clue.
And you do realize that the term as used in that movie is about Asians, not communists, right?
Probably your own beliefs about Asians (Luk 11:39). Did somebody not cook the :chew: egg-a-roll right? :idunno:
they see me trollin, they hatin....
I have no negative beliefs about Asians. I just know what the term you used means and how it is used.
Dead Asian communists :Commie:
In the movie? :yawn: I believe he was addressing second generation American hoodlums. Because they were Asian, he called them all zipperheads regardless of their political views.
Sidebar: We’ll call you a zipperhead when you join them. :Commie: Eccl 10:2, Eze 38,39.
Would you like me to believe you?
Are you a member of the thought police? Eccl 10:2 :Commie:

She probably thinks there's no difference Count...
Well I say "thinks". That would be giving her too much credit come to think on it...

Yep. And the movie used the term correctly.
On the other hand you want it to be about communism.

Opening a history book wouldn’t kill you. :hammer:
I don't care if you do or not. But I suspect you don't.
No. Maybe the vocabulary police. Words have agreed upon meanings and it is good to follow those standards unless there is a compelling reason not to. You don't have a compelling reason to change zipperhead to be a political rather than a racial term. Confusion arises when people start creating new meanings for words.
As for the thought police, the thought in your head may have been about communism, but that is the wrong use of the word and I am correcting you.
I'd love to see you go to China or North Korea and call a group of people zipperheads. :chuckle:
My history isn't the problem here.
I hope he’ll take :idea: this clue and run with it. :thumb: “Here is the truth: Every Communist dictator in the world has been a megalomaniacal, cult-of-personality, power-hungry, bloodthirsty thug…” Full text: In Vietnam, Hating Communism Anew: Seeing the Communist North induces outrage at the senseless deaths and historical lies by Dennis Prager

Here's another clue bird brain. 'Zipperhead' isn't a name directed at or associated with communists but is in fact a racial slur. That's akin to saying the "n" word is a slur against liberals. Get a grip.
Silence the critic? :Shimei:
Would you like communism in Amerika? :Commie: Eccl 10:2
Is it correct to call every Asian a zipperhead regardless of his/her political view? :AMR:
No. It's about using the correct terminology. You can criticize all you want. Just use words appropriately.
Of course. I worship communism. :bow: Lenin
It is correct as far as the term's use goes. That isn't to say I approve of using it though.
Take it up with Flukeman. :idunno: He wants to be a :idea: vocab policeman (Eccl 10:2). :Commie: He said they got it right in the movie Gran Torino. Maybe he’ll clarify :AMR: the legalities (Re 13:17).

They did get it right in Gran Turino. The character was referring to Asians in a derogatory manner. Not that I expect you to be honest enough to admit you're ignorant of the facts but you can't bluster your way out of this one. (Not that you've ever succeeded in doing that anyway)
:e4e:
Who decides what the “correct terminology” is? Eze 28:1-2 :Commie:
