Is this racist?

[HAL 9000 96]

Well, it's certainly something. I am surprised he got away with it though. I suppose the only explanation is that no one complained officially.

I'm entitled to my opinion. If that does not fall in line with the cleo PC bandwagon, that is your problem. Aka too bad. Were are not going to shut up because some $60K earning Britt doesn't agree with us.

A.J. has been noted on numerous occasions of using various incidents to throw in his own views of Caucasians.

You realize, I hope, that people from India are classified as Caucasian...

AJ is part of the Aryan race.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I have a good job that is actually quite recession proof. Nice try though Mr. Criminal.

You're from LA, naturally, grandiose delusions are part of the culture there.

Ever wonder why LA does not rank highly in any international study? Or are they a lie and "made up" too?

Oh BY, you and your mythical "studies". Do post a link to one. But this time, don't be a retard and post Not Safe For Work links.

[Heracles 417]

Oh dear, the 'unofficial' posse ####### again. Seriously BY, there is no excuse for making racist remarks even this supposed being 'ganged up on' is not a good excuse, even supposing it were true.

Cleo please I have been on here long enough to see you guys do it. I never said you officially meet up and decide who to target. Then again there have been rumors from others.

The only reason I have not pointed this out in other threads, such as the bash Joesph threads, is because Joesph is wrong and needs a little common sense beaten into him. Personally, I am not offended by it, I enjoy battling with 5 or 6 posters at once.

Regarding the racist allegations, refer to my above post to six. I don't want to have to repeat myself. Hint: as your fellow countryman called it, Tongue-in-cheek

Don't worry it's from Wiki. Three separate reports to look at. LA did not even make the top 40

That makes 12 pieces of information from me. Rob and the rest = 0

I don't know about repeating yourself, but certainly rephrasing might go a long way to understanding how these scattergun arguments tie together.

The following is as simple as it gets. In your opinion:

A.J's comments = "just joking"

My comments = "outrageous"

= double standards / hypocrite.

For a start it would help to know what comments you're referring to.

You mentioned EP earlier. I hardly ever go on there.

Regardless - what you said *is* racist. Not only in the words you used - but because everything you've said in the past suggests that you believe it.

All those comments you disingenuously quote again and again mean is that Hispanics have a much lower graduation rate than every other demographic, including that of black Americans. Almost 1/3 of Hispanic American students do not even graduate high school.

Which part was racist?

"Latinos and education don't go hand in hand".

I know what I quoted - and its been explained to you multiple times why it's a dodgy thing to say. What you posted above - is not what you said earlier.

But I think you're losing your train of thought here - you're accusing me of double standards over comments AJ has supposedly made. Which comments are these?

"Latinos and education don't go hand in hand".

Thank you for bumping it.

You see the problem with this is totally separate from lowered rates of general education / graduation among latinos - its that you are making a blanket judgement across an entire group based on a preconception.

Its almost as though you've got a mental checklist going in your head so you can strike negatives against people before they even open their mouths.

You guys clearly believe that outside various socio-economic circumstances, all people universally act and behave the same. You ignore the fact that even when you comparing minority to minority (Black to Hispanic), there is a disparity in crime and the rate of graduation. You also fail to acknowledge that other poor demographics such as white or Asians (in the same socio-economic status), clearly do not behave in the same manner. Clearly don't have a need to form gangs. Another example, how many Indian Americans are there in gangs A.J?

I am not going to discuss this topic anymore. I will just lie and say we are all equal to shut the PC babies.

Sounds to me like you're saying there's something inherently wrong with black people.

You clearly misunderstand.

[Peikko 1,575]

Clearly and deliberately, or he is that stupid.

I'll say this only once.

I do not believe that all people are the same.

I am going out on a limb here, do you think wanting Equality = wanting everyone to be the same? Is that where this fallacy stems from?

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

You mean I am not Madame Cleo?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I guess today's lesson is that people who object to BYs questionable comments about race are either in denial or else otherwise unfairly persecuting him and routinely overlooking identical comments made by other members.

BY on the other hand "shoots from the hip" and wants to solve problems rather than waste time trying to understand what causes them.

Naturally there's no other way to solve problems than point fingers at people and make disparaging comments.
