So it really only matters if he said the controversial version. If he didn't, it's even worse than Santa saying 'Ha ha ha'.
WTF @ "Catch a Jap"? That's not even the right number of syllables.

That link reveals this, which is just as disturbing. Especially considering the "racist version" was clearly not used (judging from the article)

"Ha ha ha" is more scary when shouted than "ho ho ho" is... and the other one is just an overreaction.

Society today is almost as bad as the PS3... seriously.

anti-racism is just more racism. Black people are fighting for equality, when they have a word which all other groups can't say.

Also, white people were slaves not only first, but the longest. You can thank Russia for that one.

Ho ho ho is offensive?

I mean, it's only been how many years since the tradition's started?
Speaking of political correctness. I have a Fort Laramie set (possibly worth a lot) that shows cowboys killing indians! :O I'm surprised we haven't burned it yet because of how rascist it is.

You're a bit late to the party. See that link in Sonicandfails's post? Follow it.

Congratulations to the media for blowing yet another relatively innocent story waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of proportion. Please, just curl up and die already.

Drag's Post #483
What about the racist rhyme thing? Is that false too?

Either way, I'm very relieved to find the Santa one was fake.

Same. 'Cause, Santa being forced to go "HA HA HA!" instead of "Ho, ho, ho!" makes him sound like some sort of senile villain on crack. e_e

So yes. Both things shown here are wrong, and this spectre of 'Political correctness' is dead. If the man used the racist version, then he did so, using a later version of the rhyme than when it was created.
