I find it absolutely hilarious how you people get on your high horses and call someone "racist" and think you are soooo much better than them - like you have just pulled the wools from everyone else's eyes and exposed this person for being a raaacccciiiiissstt.


Most of us are not racist. We are more... "culturalist".

We don't like thugs who wear pants down to their ankles revealing their underwear for everyone to see, speak in gibberish, attempt to legitimize a corruption of a language, replace their teeth with tinfoil/diamonds/gold, have huge obnoxious tires and blast loud vulgar music for all to hear. Those who have 6 kids by 6 different daddy's. Those who don't know who the father of their children are. We don't like the culture of walking around harassing people because someone looked at them funny. We don't like the culture of highly disproportionate crime rates, violence, rape, and drug use. We don't like the general disrespect and selfishness the culture has. We don't like the lack of self-improvement or the attitude of entitlement. The culture of victimization and persecution from white people. We don't like the culture of placing blame on the white man. We don't like the culture of staying on welfare while you go out and make tons of money selling drugs.

This culture exists. PC has allowed for a large group of people to adopt the above culture and be protected behind a curtain of politically correct sheep who defend any criticism or discrimination of the above by labeling it "racist" by inherently assuming that the above culture is the culture of the inner city black person.

We also don't like massive stereotyping.

Is something in my post regarded as stereotypical? Have you not seen a widespread adoption of the above culture I have described? Nearly all of the properties of the above culture I have described are mutually inclusive.

Are you saying that if I want to stay away from people who deal drugs, or commit violence, that I am committing stereotyping?

I should also add that I don't frequent China Towns or Little Italy's either. Their cultures really have nothing that interests me beyond novelties.

Well, where I'm from we don't like rednecks who live in trailers with 5 kids on welfare who are missing their teeth. We don't like these people going to Wal-Mart in their PJ's. We don't like their disjointed English. We don't like their jacked up trucks with missing mufflers or their dirt track races at midnight keeping everyone awake. We don't like their loud ass twangy music about getting drunk on saturday. We don't like their stunning lack of knowledge about the world around them. We don't like their brokeass trailers.

I see what you did there and thought I'd do it too.

This just happened to my son, he walks into the thrift store and is looking at the books, he has on jeans a rocker shirt, and long hair, he is looking at the used book section,

This is hilarious,

So two employees walk up to him and say, aren't you supposed to be working?

He looks at them and says, what?

The lady says, aren't you doing community service?

He laughs and says no, way to racially profile, although he looks very Native American.

I had posted on another thread how he used to get hassled for being on his skate board, poor guy.

I don't like any of that stuff you just said either. That culture you describe is not very classy and most of those people aren't very intelligent and don't contribute to society. Although, your use of the term "redneck" is funny. Is it something that you can only apply to a certain race?

The cultures I like to frequent are the cultures which promote self-improvement and education.

He is adopting the skateboarder sub-culture?

Yes, if he does that he will undoubtedly experience culturalism since his attire, demeanor and personal style are highly associated with the sub-culture he has adopted.

If it looks like a duck, sound like a duck, and acts like a duck then it's a duck... unless you have a PC mindset then it could be a very intelligent person just posing as a duck.

So you must then be in total agreement with the OP.

If you dont like that particular cultural group, and its a valid choice to be able to dislike them them and stereotype them in that way, then the OP is allowed to do that as well.

Nice to see we all agree. Now I suppose we can move onto the next topic.

I was gonna say the same thing!

It's funny that everytime I had A holes cross my path, they were all white.
Why is that? Because by your logic: black man is bad and white boy is good.

And I'm white btw so, really, you fail to get your point across.
It's a new trend here, the " racist " conspiracy!

Bottom line is this: if you're not willing to judge everybody as individuals, regardless of their culture, race and whatnot... Then you, sir, are a racist. It's as simple as that! I see it all the time around me, to say that racism is the gov. works, is to take off responsibility for our own actions/reactions.

I know some " thugz", OP, as you described them ( I guess you would call me a punk), that were the nicest people, friendly, giving and actually not violent or gangster at all.

Go home bigots and educate yourselves
Peace

Don't you usually apply stereotyping to individuals?

I mean, can't you even recognize the distinct cultural groups which exist in every human society?

Nope, you can find rednecks of all colors where I live.

its all about respect. we don't respect the rednecks because they don't respect us. we don't respect the "cultures" in the OP because they don't respect us. Neither of these types of people have respect for themselves either.

Oh, you know some nice drug dealers who harass people for stepping on their turf?

Let me ask you a question: Do you like the culture of the KKK or the Black Panthers or do you judge each one of them as individuals?

How wildly inappropriate.

On topic and being pc for a moment: people hate all sorts of things about each other all it takes is something different, the more obvious the difference the bigger the issue. as long as people have things different, there will be others that hate/dislike it.
