Damnit, you guys are making me hungry!

Is Lars Danish anyways, or does he have danish background? I always thought he had German ancestry, but I could easily be wrong...

'Race' is a sketchy concept. Danish in reality is no less a 'race' than something like 'Mexican'. What if he had been talking about a band with a Mexican drummer, and called that drummer a "good-for-nothing Mexican a$$hole"? People would have immediately found that abhorrent.

only if their mexican sympathizers.

If you really find a problem with the post Rainard then please report it. I personally would'nt consider it derogatory or racist. Calling someone Danish when they are Danish is hardly racism really.

Yes, Mexican isn't a race either.

But what if he was a good-for-nothing Mexican a$$hole?

The point is, the 'Mexican' or 'Danish' or whatever part is irrelevant to him being an a$$hole.

It might be true that he is Mexican and also happens to be an a$$hole, but the construction 'a [x nationality] a$$hole' carries the implication of there being some connection between his being an a$$hole and his given nationality. Such phrases are conventionally used in the context of prejudice. E.g. if somebody said 'he is a black idiot'. It may be true that the subject of discussion is an idiot and also happens to be black, but phrasing it in that way suggests a prejudice and some connection between his race and his being an idiot.
