Interesting, now what if it was true that a certain race did do something more than another, using your example of being lazy, what if white folks were proven to be more lazy than their other ethnicity counter parts, would calling a white dude lazy by say a Hispanic individual be considered racialist?
To be fair I know some spooks who actually don't like watermelon and a bunch of crackas that don't shop at GAP. Would that be stereotyping based on your own posting or would you consider that generalization to be racist?
If I was to say that all chinks like rice, would that be considered racist in the context of this thread or would I need to say something more than that? Like say all chinks are good at math, I don't see either of those as being racist, somewhat bigoted maybe, but not racist by any stretch of the imagination.
Doesn't it ultimately come down to an individuals belief about what is or isn't considered racist and / or offensive?
If I said to you that 2 Kikes invented copper wire fighting over a penny, is that racist? I know several people on GFY would probably consider it to be, whereas others would consider it more racist if I said that all the Jews deserved to be gassed in the war. Both have been said in the context of this thread, as we are actually discussing racism I personally see no issues with both of those two statements, yet if I used those derogatory terms to someone on here without there being a discussion on racism, then I would say it was fair game to say those comments would in fact be racist.
Isn't the context of what is said more important than the words themselves?
2 people could call the same guy a porch monkey (using a term that was on GFY lately) but the black dude being called it by a close friend isn't going to take as much offense as if he was called it by a complete stranger in the skreet whilst chomping down on some friend chicken and watermelon whilst washing it down with some grape Kool-Aid.
