nor did I say all - people don't know how to fukkin read sometimes!

To say otherwise and then to go on and call someone ignorant who doesn't agree with your (incorrect) point of view like crash did is borderline retarded. I'm talking like short bus, dee de-dee, mental dysfunction.

oh you caught me... I'm retarded! sorry guys I'm going to have to refrain from posting until my mental dysfunction fixed.

and as crash said I would like to see a study where 25% of stereotypes are true. I would be more willing to bet it is triple that. I'm not talking about skin color necessarily - I am talking about groups of people (these groups may be exclusively white, black, etc.)

we could look @ muslim extremists as a group and talk about their stereotypes - crazy, dangerous, having complete disregard for innocent lives... smelly

Muslim extremists aren't just arab, there are many eastern europeans (slavic white) and blacks in that group, too.

A conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image.

I don't think that it takes a study to prove my point. Stereotypes don't accurately portray ANY group of people. It had no reason being brought up in this thread.

You obviously have a problem reading because I didn't say "all" either. I said they usually don't even represent MOST of any certain race.

So every racial stereotype represents 75% of any given group?

Muslim extremists don't have stereotypes... they have things that they do. They are called MUSLIM EXTREMISTS because of their actions. That isn't what a stereotype is. A stereotype would be saying all Muslims are terrorists based on the actions of the minority (i.e. the extremists) in their religion.

Anyways, the point was about race, I thought? The whole thing boiled down to someone saying that he would have to act a certain way if his skin color changed. I don't know what you are trying to prove, but you're not making much sense anymore.

I never ****ing said that you said "all". Don't put words in my mouth. How do you know that they don't usually represent most of a certain race? I think that most white people in the south that DON'T live in cities ARE rednecks... go prove me wrong. I think MOST mexicans listen to MEXICAN music and eat MEXICAN food... GO PROVE ME WRONG. I think that MOST black people in the inner-cities listen to rap music and wear ecko, roca-wear, and fubu. GO PROVE ME WRONG!!!

So every racial stereotype represents 75% of any given group?
Is that a fukkin problem? You said that it was 25%! So let me get this straight, you're allowed to make up numbers but I'm not?

who gave you the authority to decide what a stereotype is?? Muslim extremists DO have a stereotype and it is what I explained - are you saying that what i said about muslim extremists is not a "conventional, formulaic, and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image"

Anyways, the point was about race, I thought? The whole thing boiled down to someone saying that he would have to act a certain way if his skin color changed. I don't know what you are trying to prove, but you're not making much sense anymore.

i think you argue just to argue. you don't make any sense. he did not say he would HAVE to act in a certain way, he said "I wouldn't know how to act" in regards to fitting in with other black people. Maybe you should learn how to read.

**firmechicano831** · 07-28-2006, 06:00 PM

I wouldn't either, maybe half as ronnie.

**taiboxa** · 07-28-2006, 10:55 PM

HELL YEAH I WANT THAT BODY.. it would be greattt..

can i look like ronnie coleman, but be white instead? i've never been a black person, and i feel i wouldn't have the slightest clue how to act/dress.

I'm the one that can't read? You're just too stubborn to understand what I'm trying to get across to you. Why should he have to try to fit in? He could still have the same friends and family that liked him in the past and he could act the exact same way, or not?

Most white people in the south are rednecks? Have you ever lived in the south? Don't just say things to say things.
While some cultural elites tend to use the term "Redneck" as a classification of specific Southern white individuals, it is generally perceived as being a stereotypic and derogatory term among Southern whites in general. It is generally used to imply inbreeding, uncleanliness, poor dental hygiene, etc. The term's use by outsiders is, therefore, generally viewed negatively, and amounts to overt racism in the minds of many.

Of course it isn't a stereotype because Muslim EXTREMISTS are terrorists. That's why they are called MUSLIM EXTREMISTS. How dense are you? You think there are peaceful MUSLIM EXTREMISTS running around. Of course they are crazy, dangerous and have a complete disregard for innocent lives! THAT'S NOT WHAT A STEREOTYPE IS!

I have lived in the South most of my life, in fact I live in georgia right now you fukkin idiot and YES THEY ARE FUKKIN REDNECKS DOWN HERE! (just not in the big cities, like i said)

by definition, what I said about muslim extremists IS a stererotype. go re-read the definition and then re-read what I wrote. I did NOT say terrorists by the way. Don't tell me to read when you're the one with the problem. Hey, who knows, maybe a bunch of muslim extremists are really nice people and have happy families and care about all the other muslim extremists, they just become crazy, dangerous and have a complete disregard for innocent lives when it's time to go to work!

its ok superhuman, i appriciate your opinion, and not taking what i said beyond what i meant. but really....as of now....it doesn't even matter. i read one post by that guy, where you said i think you argue just to argue. and before i read yours, i had the exact same opinion. "what...does it matter lol"

but seriously, think what you want....i know what i meant/said. no need to justify anything. and super human said it best. -->
