i wonder if its considdered racism; that ive never ever found a "black" woman attractive...
Me either, but I would bang Beyonce into next week on principle alone. Heh.
Racism is fascinating to me. I stereotype but it's not usually based on ethnic background, it's more cultural then just someone's race.
Example: If a white kid and a black kid lived in the same area, and all they did was do the stereotypical things that a racist would consider traits of a (African American derogatory term withheld), I would consider both just as worthy of being generalized in that category regardless of race.
I think there are tons of racial/group-based stereotypes. But honestly stereotypes exist for a reason, and that is that people have found some degree of concurrent points throughout their individual experiences that seem to corroborate.
If you got a young black kid who wears fubu gear and wears his pants down around his ankles, listens to gangsta rap, rolls with gang members, has a criminal record, a huge attitude problem, and talks like he is ignorant and indifferent, I don't believe that person has any right to really complain if someone were to racially stereotype them in particular--since they are practically advertising exactly what the racists say
Me personally? I like black people. They don't take **** from anybody. You know damn well if they enslaved us white *****es we'd STILL be picking their cotton cause we're a bunch of fat, lazy, no-initiative-having punks who let everyone walk all over us in the name of political correctness and fear of consequence. I also like asian people, they stay out of **** and don't bother anybody. But these are my personal experiences. There's a negative too: I grew up in a town that is now completely overrun with spanish people. I never had a problem with spanish people, but there isn't a damn one of 'em from my town that I've seen, that wasn't an ignorant ****y *******. The town's gone completely downhill since that started happening; completely overcrowded, crime and drug trafficking through the roof, no jobs left...
When my italian relatives came to this country they had to learn english. Now our hometown is filled with spanish-only businesses. All the corner stores are spanish, there is a spanish-only pharmacy, several spanish-only salons, and one of the best little restaurants in town became Cafe Brazil--were the entire menu is in only spanish and portuguese.
It becomes my natural starting point, as it does with most of us. Some of us dig deeper and judge the individual. But when I meet a spanish person, that is the neutral starting point; it is what I know so far for almost 100% of the spanish people I've ever met or seen in my life. I watched my quiet nice little town get completely assimilated and overrun ('zerged', if you will) by spanish people. Now, I'm not racist at all and have plenty of good friends from all different walks of life; but my bottom line here is that this is the impression I have been given of spanish people en masse. It's not necessarily racist though it is a generalization and one that I freely admit to.
But here's the thing. I may meet a spanish guy (like say my friend Josue Duarte, a guy I met in the very town I'm talking about). And the second he opens his mouth it goes one of two ways: either he, within a paragraph of talking, will dive headfirst into the stereotype and roll around in it like a pig in a mudhole...OR...he will completely disprove it (which is what happens 9 times out of 10 in my experience). And at that point, my newfound acquaintance no longer is seen as part of 'el Zergo magnifico" anymore, but is seen as an individual.
Bottom line here is this:
I don't think all spanish people are like the zerg that ate my town. Do I dislike those *******s in my old hometown for what's happened and how unfair and lopsided it's become? Yeah I do. But I don't hate spanish people overall. But I will be a lot quicker to reach that conclusion if someone seems to fit that bill. All racism is, is when people do this without giving each individual person a chance to be an individual. I could look at every spanish person I see and, based on appearance alone, decide they are all (insert racist term here), but that is just plain illogical. There are exceptions to every generalization, no matter how allegedly 'true' a racist might consider it.
Also I do have to say the double standards in this day and age are serious bull****. I am a straight 22 year old caucasian american male; I will never have a parade, or a rally, or any of that ****. There is no "Straight Healthy White Guy" Scholarship Program. I am the forgotten demographic; affirmative action, *** rights, and slavery reparations have destroyed all of my best chances for college or the work force. I will never have it as easy as a *** black man is gonna when it comes to these things, because simply all of us wussy white people are completely petrified of getting sued, since racism cases are almost 100% win rates for the plaintiff.
Between that stuff, and all the fine ass women stealing all the opportunities, things are rough for the young white middle class male in 2005. God, I sound like a racist when I say that, hehe. All I'm saying though is that the double standard IS there and I think it is very lame. If I have to call you African or Asian American, you should have to call me Caucasion, and I want a Caucasion Pride Parade every year, etc.
Of course it'll never happen. At the very least we should have an "Incredibly Fine Women Pride Week." Hehe.
Now THAT is something I think we can all agree on. :0)
