While walking around, I've overheard a very little snippit of a conversation saying,"No, it's not racist because it's good!"
Gah, I absolutely hate people who think like that...
Edit: Dammit, I forgot my standard 'tell them what they threaten against' thing...
"You're an intolerant idealist who should take anger management classes."
Its Racist but its also funny. There is a difference between being racist and saying racist things. Do not think for a second that other races do not say racist things (not saying that you do). I have friends from many races, we all make fun of each others race to the other persons face. We are not racist.
In my opinion only weak minded people think in terms of absolutes.
I am done highjacking this thread now... sorry.
Well, duh. I'm commonly made fun of by my friends for being Jewish, which
is a race, but I make fun of myself too. I'm just saying that, out of the blue, without any major context and only hearing that small snipit of the conversation, that person comes out as a complete idiot who knows nothing about how racism works. He may have been joking, but I guess I'll never know. That's the issue with overhearing conversations.
