Lou's Learning? Fukudome to bat 2nd

[Vanilla Ice]

i'm not offended, i just think theriot's comments were stupid.

 

i really can't understand how someone would say that stereotyping isn't bad as long as the quality being attributed to the group is "good."

I bet most black men are very offended that they're stereotyped as being large in the private area.

 

I certainly wouldn't be.

i can't see why you'd be offended if someone assumed something really good about you

 

if you think it's ok to automatically assign some trait to someone based solely on their race -- as long as it's something you deem to be "good" -- i don't know what else to tell you.

 

to me, that's just as offensive as labeling someone with a bad trait based on their race. either way, you're making an assumption about somebody based on the color of their skin, which is just ignorant.

This is a total tangent, because I'm obviously not talking about stereotypes, but since when does race only determine the "color of your skin?"

 

Obviously, things like karate and crap need not apply, but there are attributes that are different among the different races beyond just skin color. Certain physical/biological attributes are simply (in some cases, much more) more common in some races than others.
