>Nah, you’re trying to justify ignorance.

Alright, if you're so adamant about it, then make of it what you will

>I’m not saying not knowing the connection to Kamehameha the King but understanding that it’s Hawaiian and not a Japanese Animated character.

Before this thread, I thought Kamehameha was a word created for DB so....

>Let me ask you how you would feel if people made cheap jokes about your culture, heritage, etc? Or do you not have any connection to one in particular? Perhaps you don’t understand how tiresome ignorance of other cultures can be?

Dude, you're talking to the wrong guy. People assume a very important cultural and religious symbol of mine is just a sign for neo-nazis and hate groups simply coz they recognize swastika as the symbol of Nazi party rather than the thousands of years old part of Hinduism. But I don't go about grilling them on reddit simply coz I know they are unaware of the history of swastika and the negative connection is all they know. I just try to educate them about its importance and move on.

Jeez calm down mate. I meant, if someone doesn't know that Kamehameha was a king or even a word in Hawaiian language, then them making DBZ references isn't tone deaf. If they knew, and made jokes anyway, then it may qualify as tone deaf (though seeing that these are very harmless references, it isn't disrespectful imo).
