it was a joke...and this is the 3rd time this season that they have joked about Chang's small eyes...even Chang himself made a joke like that once..something like "meri ankhon mein to eyedrop bhi theek se nahin ghusta hai"

first of all there is no need to shout..

and so what if Chang doesn't mind, I am sure there were quite a few people in the audience who are of similar racial/facial makeup.. i am sure a lot of them took offense..also as a person who grew up in a multi cultural society where people respected each other, i found it offensive..because if someone makes a comment like that at school or at their workplace where i come from, there will be severe repucusions

So using your logic, if someone on the show makes a very offensive comment about some aspect of Hussain that is directly related to his religion, it is perrrrrfectly okay as long as Hussain doesn't get offended

I just don't get the blase blase attitude that a lot of desis have regarding sensitive issues like race, disability, body types etc.. and yet they are easily offended when someone says or does anything very minor (in comparison) about India or other aspect of desiness.. some will even go out and start burning effigies..

Mrs Ackles: I completely agree. Javed's comment is unforgivable and bigoted. This is not the kind of thing one takes "lightly", especially if you happen to be one belonging to the demographic/ ethnicity that was the butt of the joke or slur.
As for "jagnesh23" asserting above that "HES NOT BEING SERIOUS SO ITS ALRIGHT.." - I have some news for you (jagnesh23): NO, IT's NOT OK!!!!! 😡 NOT BY A LONG SHOT.
I too can't believe that a person that has the mental and physical faculties to log on to this board in 2009 can think this way. Wow, man - which planet are these people from? (Even the KKK scumbag that calls an African American the N-word knows in his conscience that it is wrong- he still chooses to do it anyway) .
People like "jagnesh23" would do well to reformat their cerebral hard drive and update their attitudes and comportment immediately since the world's cotton pickin' days are well behind us. Their attitudes are seriously out of whack. Expressing themselves in this flippant manner in the real world may cause them to sustain some serious damage depending on the people around them- consider it friendly, essential advice.
I hope the people of the "targeted' demographic (and even other viewers) demand an on air apology from Sony Entertainment and Javed Akhtar regarding the present case. It must be a proper apology- no "I was only joking" apologist crap. I hate when PC-ness is overdone as much as the next guy, but seriously - unless we demand and realize public apologies for such racist faux pas - we have little hope of creating a culture where people think before they speak and consistently respect others as they would like themselves to be respected.

I find it funny that you're one to talk about being politically correct and respect and all, when the image in your avatar is the exact opposite. 😉😆

mmm... your hasty "inference" (a non sequitur really) suggests you still have a long journey ahead towards gaining either a measurable emotional IQ or fundamental understanding of human nature 😊.
BTW, if that's the sole central thought that you could finally manage as a "take-away" from my post (really ???) then I bet no one on this forum cares much about what you think or cannot think, least of all me. LOL.

When Javed A commented that Chang does not even have two good eyes, I interpreted that because he has glasses, he does not have two good eyes to look at pretty gals.Maybe the remark should be interpreted as above and everyone just chill.

Simon gets away with what he say in AI since he speaks with a Brit accent. Americans love people with Brit accent, to them it comes loaded with sophistication and erudition. And against a backdrop of Paula Abdul and Randy (the Dawg) his comments seem like coming from the Bard himself. Consider yourself lucky that II and other shows have judges who understand music. I doubt if the AI judges can talk basic music language.

No, I'm sorry but I don't see this as the kind of thing that you can "just chill" on and brush aside. This is not the first time on this show (II4) that I saw Chang's eyes being made the butt of jokes. If I recall correctly, there were some similar digs made by Chang's co-host in an earlier episode.
We remain mired in the sociopolitical state we are in today exactly because of such "just chill" and apathetic attitudes. I am not inclined to go off topic and debate this on an II4 forum, but let me just say that we, as a people, TOLERATE THE INTOLERABLE far, far too much- including such incidents that we conveniently deem as "small".

Hasty inference? Babe, this is a public forum, that image is the one place for you to display something about yourself, and that's what you chose. I was actually just messing around with you, but you seem to have taken this a great deal farther. As far as my fundamental understanding of human nature goes, that's none of your concern. I'd be lucky if I understood human nature in my whole life span. On the other hand, you have a very tight grasp on the principles of human nature. Making quick, biased judgments of others, and lashing at them when they do the same. Kudos to your principles.

As far as "taking-away" from your post goes, well I already posted my thoughts on page one, so next time you question my posts, take a look around you. Your thoughts were followed my train of thought, but then went overboard from my opinion. Anyways, why am I wasting time here, nobody on the forum cares what I have to say, right? Aww man, where were you for the last year or so, would've saved me all that time that it took me to make those 2923 posts before this one.

Later.

@ Shehzaadi and Aamir's Fan: You two are amazing, I love ya. Don't worry, not in a bad mood, nor am I feeling down, read the post I've quoted in my post --- he said that no one on the forum cares about me. 😆 So that's why my reply came out that way .... sarcasm, nothing else. 😉
