not a fail. but having them debate was getting out of control.
u can date whoever u want. i understand what ur saying, but u need to realize that this thread wasnt supposed to be a debate thread for frotz and alien vission. this thread is about Stereotyping Vs. Racism; how they compare, the differences, etc.
I should have clarified, Cash. My bad. This is actually a good topic.
That was probably the best quote ever.
i understand completely. this is a very touchy subject, and we r not trying to offend any1. the fact is, most stereotypes r true. r these morally right? probably not. and as for the attraction thing, what ethnicity r u?
nah it's all good man, i understand. but it's been sorta resolved.
who was this guy? :o
idk so much about this particular sentence. stereotypes probably originated from racist ppl, but there is a touch of truth to stereotypes.
sig?
I wouldn't just say that. Do you think that if someone was born without learning anything from the history books, that people would stop holding grudges? I'm not saying that we should stop teaching history, but here is an example I've experienced.
If you haven't dated outside your race, there's nothing wrong with that. If you're making it some sort of rule that you follow because you're judging new people based on their race because of experiences you've had with people of that race, then you're being racist.
Or maybe it's that whenever there is a high crime area in a city, there is a high population of poor people. There's an undeniable correlation between race and class.
So all black women look the same? This statement would be a lot easier to accept if you said something like "I've never been attracted to a black woman" but to say it like you did implies that you are stereotyping and suggesting that all black women look a certain way, which is of course ridiculous. People of sub-Saharan African descent (black people) are probably the most diverse group of people on the planet when it comes to features and skin color.
it's not racist to say all black ppl look the same. it's merely an observation. black people say all white people look the same, and white people say all black people look the same.If you haven't dated outside your race, there's nothing wrong with that.

Lumping an entire group of people together and saying you're "not attracted to them"?
Pretty much racist.
I love how racist crap is always followed or preceded by people saying "BY THE WAY I KNOW MINORITIES AND HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE MINORITIES" as if that somehow makes what they say okay. This trend needs to die.
It's an observation that's clearly not true and easily proved wrong, so much that it's not even worth saying.
Nope. I just prefer hooking up with my own people. I've seen plenty different races and found a few of them attractive, but not to the point I'd really ever start anything with them.
The next time something bad happens to the U.S., if I'm still around to see something drastic happen, I'll be sure to say, "Pray for the U.S.? Does anybody remember the times they butted into other countries affairs?" Yes, the U.S. loves being nosy.
if im not implying that white ppl b better than black ppl, then it's not racist.
This is exactly why racism is just as convoluted as morality. Winding bias personal opinions will always eat away at solid debate in a heartbeat, because the debate you are facing only has one side to the coin.
I think that if you're saying that black people are all indistinguishable from each other, then it implies that they have less individuality than white people. The implication is that one group is made up of clones, while the other is made up of diverse individuals. There is a "better than" notion in that line of thinking.
That's a good way to think of it actually.
i think that ppl will constantly say something is racist when it's not.
i can understand this, but i also think ppl assume too much.
makes sense: a recent study showed that around 70 or 80% of ppl r usually attracted to their own race the most, so this makes sense.
There is no way you nor anyone could know if this is true.
jw, y do u feel the need to question everybody? :l
CA5H, why do you feel the need to speak on behalf of everybody? :|
a questioningly question? idk.
i do what i want.
Excuse me? How am I stepping out of line? C4SH understood me just fine. Unless you're talking about the U.S.A.. Then you really need to chill.
Sadly, it is you who is ridiculous. You are trying to state everything as fact. You won't give anyone a chance to deem their opinion when they answer your thousand questions, then you just shove everything in their face and expect them to say ''Thankyou, for your knowledge Batman''.
no i understand... it's just u remind me of that guy. and i dont think ur a ****
lol
So that would mean that we aren't in their ''camaraderie'', not because we are racist..
so y is it only within the black community that it is a term of camaraderie?
Yea, thats what I was trying to say. Curse my inconsistent mind.
