Francophobe Racism on NS

The number of kids hating on Kevin, Xavier, their coach, and the french in general on NS is disgusting.

Lesson: Kevin is a super nice kid. He's living his dream. He's fucking stoked on skiing. He's never been anything other than a stand-up dude in competition. He has a higher than normal voice. He doesn't believe himself to be a gangster. He's the best pipe skier in the world.

Their coach: Greg Guenet. He isn't some success-grabbing nobody- he's a skiing OG that ripped it up with the 3 Phils back in the day.

Mods, you need to start clamping down on what is essentially out-and-out RACISM from these 12 year old hillbillies that don't appear to be aware of a world outside Amurkah.

This. He is what every NSer says a skier should be like, except they have a crack at him regardless. Kevin rocks!

^ word,

the hate being directed towards Kevin and to a lesser extent Xavier is disgraceful. Clean it up immediately

I believe you are an idiot.

"French" is not a race. Thus it is not racism.

I rest my case.

I played kendama with Rolland outside the Redbull party at IF3, and in the NS party the last night.

He is really fucking good at it.

I have the utmost respect for Kevin and Xavier. Every one in the pipe field trained hard to get there, not just them. It's not like they're the only ones who trained extremely hard. At the level pipe skiing is at now, it takes time, effort, and hard work to get there.

You guys are over-reacting. Link me to anything that's over the top offensive and it'll be deleted, but seriously - there's nothing more offensive on here than people making fun of goombas or rednecks.

Besides the fact that being French isn't a "race"





That being said, props to Kevin and Torin.

Honestly who the hell cares, so some kids on here don't respect Kevin and Xavier, you've stated your opinion that your not for it and that's that. Now pull your tampon out and think twice before making a thread about this next time

probably.

whatever, the point is that these kids hating are retarded. sure you can legitimately say "i don't like kevin's style" if that's your view, you're entitled to it, but to say "i hate kevin" or "i hate kevin's attitude" is totally baseless. those kids have never demonstrated anything other than complete stoke for the sport and work fucking hard to be pushing it themselves. every top pipe skier has a coach. ever heard of trennon paynter?

true, but that's because dumont frequently conducts himself in a bitchy manner when he doesn't win. i wouldn't ever say dumont's not a good guy- i've never met him. i would say he's not a good role model though.

Xenophobia is fear or dislike of all foreigners in general, while francophobia is directed at the French. Either way, it's not racism haha.

wiki says:
There is some evidence that the meaning of the term has changed over time, and that earlier definitions of racism involved the simple belief that human populations are divided into separate races. Many biologists, anthropologists, and sociologists reject this taxonomy in favor of more specific and/or empirically verifiable criteria, such as geography, ethnicity, or a history of endogamy.

Racism is too much of a word for what you're trying to say. Plus many people like Kevin more than what you think.

I find it rather fucked up as well, ignorant little newschoolers who have no respect or regard towards other peoples and their cultures hahaha yall are fucked with this close minded view! and the rest of you who are calling the OP out for this "racism" is beside the point, you're ignorant hahaha. With that all said, I was pumped for Kevin he straight murdered it and was all smiles at the bottom, he looked way to stoked hahaha. And to top it, haters gotta hate, look who is walking away with a gold medal around his neck/competing as a professional skier all you little kids talking shit will never be at this level or anywhere close hahahha

99% of people get hated on on ns. It is just something that happens. The only person i can think of that doesnt get hated on off the top of my head is phil casabon. And kevin and xavier dont fall in side that 1% and neither do you.
