Why is it that black people can get drunk and whip their kids with extension cords and that’s okay, but if I get drunk and whip a black person’s kids with an extension cord I’m a racist? ---

This sounds like “don’t generalise about me; but I can generalise about you.” And if we’re talking minoroties, “Welsh” is infinitely more of a minority than “people with black skin”. Yeah, but how else was he gonna open up the topic about how much Shirley Bassey confuses him? ---

It’s funny that Lena Horne and Pearl Bailey will forever be mentioned as African-American singers/icons/etc., while Shirley Bassey is simply “British”. (You can’t call her African-American after all and ‘black’ somehow seems inappropriate to the media.) ---

Then I realized I didnt, I was looking for a comment about how people (including me, mr OP) stereotypes people. But that parallel chicken discussion was hilarious, your comedy is up there with the likes of Jackie Chan and Will Smith (and dare I say Jay Leno). Its genius guys, cant wait to tell my 8 year old nephew what kind of legendary comedy stuff you cooked up! (I promise you if I had done a sex change, I would laugh like a school girl, thats how funny your hijacking-how-to-cook-a-chicken was to me, priceless!) ---

It’s the hockey teams, not the postal system, that we’ll kill you for badmouthing. And you better watch what you say about Terry Fox, too. ---

Mexican Americans don’t like to go to the movies where the dude has to wear contact lenses to make his blue eyes brown cause don’t it make my brown eyes blue…\*\* Chong: **Beaners… Beaners… Beaners… Beaners… Are Gonna Kick you in the Face** ---

[QUOTE=Skald the Rhymer] Yes, I can. By asserting that certain traits are strongly associated with a person’s “race,” you are attempting to backdoor justify claims that other traits–negative ones – are also overwhelmingly associated with persons of a given “race.” It fools no one. [/QUOTE] I always wanted to tell you, you are very well spoken for a Scandinavian poetry buff. > [@pedescribe](#): > > He’s also on record as attempting to kill every last panda bear. So, you know, he’s a damn speciesist. Which doesn’t make him automatically wrong. Let’s be honest here : the fuckers have mooched off our goodwill and fondness for cute fluffy creatures long enough.
