So with the hundreds of people that fit the description, and my using the abreviated term, why hasn't a singler person said anything until now... Maybe because most people don't worry about it, and in all honesty, you are ONLY making a big deal out of this because you dislike certain members/moderators on the forum.

meaning you still carry your sense of fashion from your country which clashes with the current countries cultures.
A cruel term used by Asian-Americans to describe recent Asian immigrants.
BTW i'm very offended if people out there using the terms fobs against Asian immigrant.
Any moderator or member should apologist for using such language on a public domain.
IE alot of Chinese people at life plaza.

You guys are nothing but a bunch of hipocrits.
Kenji has 230 post ALONE using the word fob. Using the word "*****", seriously, now that's offensive! And you called yourself that.

what is interesting is that i am offended by these recent statements specifically FOB and life plaza, and i am not a unreasonable person. I made my complaint twice and I was willing to let this go. However even with a thread that is closed this issue still comes up!
now according to wikipedia
now according to wikipedia
The term "FOB" has been used with offensive intent, often to those with a foreign accent or ethnic style of dressing. Depending on the person's attitude to the culture in question, he or she may or may not take offense at these statements. The term may also be used by people who themselves were immigrants years ago, in a way turning the insult once hurled at them onto the new arrivals, and in so doing emphasizing their own progress in assimilation or improved language skills.
"FOB" is acceptably used by people of any nationality in Australia. However, if used by a non-Pacific Islander in New Zealand, it is considered highly offensive.

There is no doubt that today's society would look down upon "******" as slang term to be used today. not many people do for that same reason.

Exactly~!!
Please explain how am i a hypocrite for calling myself a fob?
How is that different from a African american calling each other the "N" word?
If i'm a fob, it's racist for other people to be using the degrading terms against me.
