Very Annoying Racial Myths. Discuss it.

Have we dated? :dubious:

So now the question is, is Sicks Ate short or tall?

Ditto - the smallest penis I’ve had the pleasure of seeing belonged to a man over 6 feet - the largest (and it was largest by a HUGE margin) belonged to a man who was 5’4".

In fact I’ve noticed that shorter men (at least the shorter men I’ve dated) seem to have bigger packages as a general trend. (Not universally, but a trend).

I recall him saying “Sicks Ate” refers to his height, 6’8.

Nope, never dated anyone that tall! The smallest or second smallest I’ve seen was a guy who was 6’4 though. I’ve also dated guys as short as 5’5. Never noticed a correlation one way or the other. I do tend to assume that someone like, say, Shaq must have a huge one, but who really knows (well, actually a lot of women probably do know…).

We’re getting off topic here, this is supposed to be about race.

What about those Cameroonians, eh? I mean, c’mon, can you believe them? Amirite?

Yeah, I’m a few inches taller than the average man, but I’m quite average in penis size!

I don’t think there’s any correlation between height and penis size.

If I remember correctly, there is a small average difference between some race’s and nationality’s penis sizes, but not several inches as some people believe the average difference is.

And now… penis ensues.

No, America is fairly conservative regarding sexual behavior. A lot of women tend to be stuck up, and promiscuity is something for them to be ashamed of. It is one of America’s down sides, but no country is perfect. Eventhough I’ve never lived outside the U.S. I’ve read other countries are more sexually liberal, such as New Zealand, and Western Europe. I read Japan is sexually open despite the fact that Japanese have less ex than Americans.

So, American women are not “sluts”. Don’t use the word “slut” because there is nothing wrong with women who are not scared to be sexual.

Sorry for double posting. I can’t edit.

So, what are some racial myths/stereotypes than annoy you?

Huh, despite typing it correctly, I always hear it in my head as Sick Ants and nothing registered.

I don’t know any Cameroonians, but in my sample size of 1, Kenyans are…impressive. More research required.

They are freaky fast aren’t they! I’ve always been impressed by them as well. I wonder if that’s just a stereotype?

Are we talking about the same thing? :smiley:

Poster name/post content win.

Pretty funny. :slight_smile:

Yes. I can’t remember the statistics and am not googling them at work, but it’s a tiny tiny amount. As in, black men might have a penis that is a tiny tiny bit bigger than the average; Asian men have one a tiny bit smaller. Less than half an inch! And of course that’s the average.

Agreed 100%. I get this a lot with my atheism. People have a certain opinion of atheists. After years of knowing me, they’ll find out I am, and you can visibly see all of the gears grinding to a halt in their heads as they try and reconcile me with their image of atheism. If they are good people, they update their image.

All I can do is be the best X I can be. Like it or not, I am a representative of my race, my color, and my ethinicity in a place that is predominantly white and Christian. I try and be a good example.

This next one involves sexual feature that people develop during puberty. Now even though I’m niether black nor Asian, I find these stereotypes annoying as well.

One stereotype is that black men have huge penises, and Asian men have tiny penises.
This stereotype has been pushed by porno, movies, such as Fullmetal Jacket, in which a prostitute was scared that 8ball was too “big” for her.

Actually, Gezmo, the movie made fun of the stereotype, rather than “pushing” it. After the prostitute told the black soldier he was “too beaucoup,” he whipped it out and showed her that he wasn’t really too beaucoup, so she accepted him as a “client.”

Oh so not true!

Years ago I dated a 6’3" jock, my private pet name for him was Mr Vienna Sausage.
My son’s father was 5’2", nature had been quite generous.

Believe me, height is no indicator of size.

Just visit the current racist-dominated thread in GD for an example of how people have absolutely no idea whatsoever that Africans are not genetically homogenous.

He said “usually”. Your individual experiences do not make the data wrong.

The other one that bothers me constantly is the anti-Chinese/Japanese sentiments, like the stupid “eating cats” jokes, or the language jokes. Especially when directed towards an American that happens to be of Chinese descent. :mad:

What data?

That there is a Hispanic race.

What most think of as “Hispanic” is truly mestizo, a combination of European and Native American (common amongst Mexicans, the largest Hispanic group in the US) OR mulatto, a mixture of European and African common to Dominicans and Puerto Ricans (two groups that you encounter a lot on the east coast). This does not mean there is a “Hispanic” race, it just means that certain combinations of ancestries happen to be common in Latin America due to historical reasons.

Nonetheless, when someone says “Oh, Christina Milian is Latina, not black” or “Cameron Diaz isn’t white, she is Latina” you have to wonder what they are thinking. Being Hispanic just means you come from a Spanish-American cultural background from Latin America, with Spanish as your first language or ancestral language. You can be Hispanic and of any race, but most Americans do not seem to realize it.
