I swear, the more I have to deal with our international business partners, the more I start to believe in the value of horrible stereotyping.

No! You may never ever make generalizations or think negative about any race. Unless it's white people than its fair game.  [/PC Rant]

foc, racism is predicated on ignorance and irrationality. predictably, you fit both of those requirements when you talk about middle-eastern folks.

What the hell are you talking about?  White people in this country are stereotyped less than any minority groups.  The majority of serial killers are white yet white people are never seen as deranged homicidal maniacs.

Except i'm not racist. Do I have to show you the definition of racism again?


spoiler (click to show/hide)
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2 : racial prejudice or discrimination


Not to mention that muslim isnt a race but a religion. And it's perfectly fine to generalize christians here but heaven forbid someone do it to another religion.

Yes but it's taboo. For example, I cant go on TV and say "Black people cant swim" but it is ok for a black guy on TV to say "White people can't dance"

I dont know if I would say that. But I would say that there are certain things that minorities can say or do, that white people couldn't do without being called racist.

No, no, the japs are the nips, as in the classic cartoon Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips.  WWII propaganda.
