But the dercka thing is a bit racist IMO.

Welcome derckastan, hope you enjoy your stay here with us and like RD (Resplendent Dawn) said if you have any questions just ask. Hopefully A.A. has filled you in with the basics if not, shame on you A.A. :P

An on a side note, I still haven't seen that movie

He's my little trainee in shop and in game. Good guy. I've been giving him the basicis for a while now, even before he joined. He actually gave me some ideas to try out on here.

As for the movie, its retarded but funny at the same time. If/when you sit down to watch it dont take it too seriously. Personally, I found it hilarious in all aspects. So did my friend.

I haven't either, and have no idea what you are talking about CE (for a change). Regardless, welcome to the forum Derckastan. Have fun!

I'm not sure to understand what's the problem with his name. What does "derck" mean anyway? :unsure:

And now we have the odd realization that we don't understand something and CE does... :unsure:

Basically in the movie all Pakistani people say is 'dercka'. That is the entirety of their language. I personally find it racist.

Ciao Derckestan

I'm Italian and i know as America/English movie-books are used to be misguided in races and cultures.
If for Americans Italy was only Pizza, mafia and Mandolino :D

But this is not.
I, however, don't think Americans are racist for this

please take it with a grain of salt i'm not trying to be mean or anything it was just out of a movie that by the way was makeing fun of the way americans and america views things and acts. i hold no ill will and thought the refrence to be nothing more than a little joke not at middle eastern people but at my own country and the way some people in america view others outside. i donot want this to be seen in this way.. i do say that i'm sorry if this has made anyone angry it was not my intent.

Actually, I watched the movie again just for this. And the Derka thing is only really pointed at Terrorists.

And nobody likes them anyways.

Either way though, Its just a name with a reference to a movie. In fact the guy who plays Derkastan is prolly one of the least racist people I know. I know him fairly well since I work with him here in the squadron.
