Based on **[THIS](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=506545)** thread, I feel I need to suggest some other threads that you need _not_ start. **What’s the deal with Hispanics?** It seems like the only time they are not going to Catholic Mass is when they’re smoking marijuana. **What’s the deal with Muslims?** I noticed that the only time that they are not planting bombs is when they are in the Mosque or stoned out on hashish. **What’s the deal with the Chinese?** I was thinking that, because they smoke opium, is why they are so scheming and inscrutable. Holy Shit! You’ve been on this board for _six fucking years_ and you’re _still_ that goddamn ignorant? You’re fucking ignorance must be armor plated! ---

**What’s the deal with old black Comedians?** The only time they’re not trying to sell me pudding or jello is when they’re making sitcoms. ---

You haven’t read that many of **Surreal** ’s threads, have you? I wouldn’t be surprised if he had started those threads at one point. ---

I take it you are unfamiliar with **Surreal** ’s usual style of posting. The linked thread was fairly tame as such things go. ETA: Jinx with **Captain Amazing** , I guess I owe you a Coke! ---

1144 posts. The fact that his join date is seven years ago doesn’t mean he’s been ‘on the board’ for seven years. He may have been mostly _off_ the board for most of that time. Not gaining noranse\* [sub]\*Made up word. Opposite of ignorance[/sub] edit: Since April 2007 ( almost two years ago) he’s made sixteen posts. I’m not defendalizing him per-se.

If’n you really want to have some fun, throw him in the hog lot and pick up a baby pig - piglet for all you Winnie fans - and make it squeal. Now that’s some fun there. ---

You’re right. None of the OP’s suggested threads even alluded to genitalia or unusual sexual practices. ---

Well, there you go. Look, man, you ask weird questions, a lot of which involve stereotyping groups of people. I’m fine with that, because I think your threads tend to be funny as hell, but people more sensitive than I might object. ---

LOL @ that entire thread list. “How is a wet willy different from rape?” That’s fantastic. As for the Scots-Irish thread, I found the discussion interesting and the little research I did taught me something new, so I’m glad he decided to start that thread.
