What are you on about? You can't just go about blaming whole races of people for something you clearly dont understand. Parkour competitions can't exist due to the philosophy of parkour, the reason behind it saying that is probably mistranslation. Also, what did the British ever do, that was negative, with parkour?

The reference may be to the World Freerunning Championships in London.  And blaming the British and Chinese are accusing cultures, not races.  Some are offended by Freerunning competitions, and others, like myself, have no problem with it.  But could we please avoid going into this discussion ... again?!?  I'm just happy to see Parkour taking hold around the world.

Yes, leave it to my race.  I'm so glad that, despite safe practices and leadership in the local parkour community, I can easily be identified due to my birth as someone who will f#ck up the entire premise of parkour.  THANKS A BUNCH, ME.

Hey!! So I am Asian I must be evil right? What gives you the right to blame all chinease traceurs? Come on!! You cant just go around saying crap about people! Are you trying to offend people? UNCALLED FOR!!!! I am part chinease and I strongly oppose competition. Who are you to comment on an entire race?! WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!!?! But of course you are better than me right? Im asian so I am clearly lesser than you. Quick tip, insulting someones race isnt a good way to make pals.

Uncalled for Eisenberg. You can not say things like that on a forum and not get a reaction. Nothing in your first post had a "joking" tone. We don't need you to say "It was a joke, chill out," an apology would be better.

Seriously guys? Don't do this.

Fail thread fails.

Eisenberg: Sarcasm doesn't work well over the internet. I suggest you stop trying to use it - this isn't the first I've locked a topic because one of your "jokes" got out of hand.
