Then just say “something” not “someone” if you’re talking about things and not people. There’s no need to create unnecessary problems.
Comment on Big, beige ’80s PC case started out as a joke, but it’s becoming real in Japan

Kinda glad to see this, I’d love to get a beige keyboard and tower, I mean the black looks cool, sleek, and futuristic, but… I just want someone with more style and class.
For the record I’m talking about computers, not people, I just realized how racist that sounds out of context.

Never would have thought about racism, honestly :D
But such a care is something to admire

I think black irritates me less.
That said, I’d really like to have a fat-fat beige (maybe darker beige) laptop with a sensible keyboard (not one that can be heard from across the street, but one that still feels like one), which you can disassemble without even unscrewing anything (maybe a couple of bolts you don’t need a screwdriver for), with enough space inside to put anything, and with a bloody antenna port and a transceiver.
It also should survive falling from my table a few times a month. And have water protection good enough for it to be normally usable at countryside during rain. Being outside.
Should have an AMOLED display or something like that.
A trackball.
And, of course, it should cost not more than MacBook Air.
The beige color here would help one really feel that this machine fucks.
I’m joking really (not in the part where I say I want that).

It only got racist after you just had to mention that you where talking about computers, not people.
Unless you normally talk about the huge beige towers of other guys.

Your attempts at using homophobia as an insult were ruined by your failure to look at the word “Queen” in my username.
Either I’m a woman, or I’m a gay man, meaning I’m probably into beige towers of guys and your joke has failed.
Btw, I’m a woman.

Stop, we are not doing this. If that’s where you mind goes on the first thought, that’s on you.
The joke stays the same, some might find it funny others might not. It’s generally not very proper to talk about dicks in a general conversation, no matter how much you like them or not.
Congratulations, I don’t know why you had to bring that up, but I’m very happy for you.
