When I see someone walking down the street, carrying cellphones and reinactign MTV imagees, it's someone stereotyping themselves. When I see A&F, backwards hats and "brah" spoken... it is stereotyping yourself. When I see an asian girl, TyPe LyKe DiS and bumpin the latest Destiny Child to release a CD, with overdone makeup... it's someone stereotyping themselves.

What? So what exactly are these people supposed to be doing that's not "stereotypical?" Sitting in an empty room standing still? Acting like you?

That wasn't the issue. I was just answering how one makes themselves a stereotype. If you are going to look it, don't complain if people call you on it.

 

[drohne]

that's a pretty fucking innocuous comment to get fired over. she employed a stereotype, but to call that remark "anti-semitic" is seriously pushing it. i suppose i'm engaging in hate speech every time i describe someone as a "blustery evangelical christian" or a "punctilious german." I MEAN THEY COULD ACTUALLY BE CATHOLICS OR AUSTRIANS.

 

[BigGreenMat]

This board is never ending bullshit hypersensitivity. I mean if you really look at her comments the real negativity of her comment isn't even attached to the jewish qualifier.

Hah-- by that standard, half this board has to get served their pink slips come Monday. You bigoted cads, hiding behind your internet anonymity. You should be ashamed of yourselves.


* For the record, I'm not in any way condoning her remarks; I just felt like cracking a (bad) joke.

 

[BigJonsson]

I can't believe people are defending her, she used a term derogatory to Jews on TV

If one of my staff at work started blaming their problems on Jappy guests I'd haul them into HR right away

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

remember its ok to be denied loans, made fun of in skits, or blamed for everyone elses problems if your white.


But dont you dare comment about anyone else!

 

[BigJonsson]

I'm Canadian

We don't tolerate that BS here

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

trust me america is so infucked its becoming reverse discrimination.

 

[Seth C]

tbh its not that bad, but at the same time u wudn't say "It was those two old, Christian fat ladies"

Completely different. You can be Jewish by both faith and nationality. I see it as being more similar to "It was those to old Italian fat ladies." Oh well.

 

[mashoutposse]

It's just too difficult for most to identify with the offended party when it comes to racism. It just doesn't seem that serious when it doesn't involve you...

I'm going to take the Jewish community's word for it and respect the fact that it's a big deal to them.

OH SHIT, OU HAVE TO BE FUCKING JOKING!!!!. Blacks have had all three of those happen to them on a much larger scale. You give me one example of any of these things happening to white in a systematic manner.

 

[ohamsie]

What about the AGE DISCRIMINATION?


She called them "Two OLD Jewish ladies" and also called them "OLD BAGS"

She is doubly hateful!

 

[AlphaSnake]

She can say whatever anti-semitic shit she wants to say to me when I'm hittin' that. Goddamn that face is just perfect.
