Are you a fvcking moron? Get some tissues, stop crying, grow up, and get over it.

If you think AT is racist never play a single MMORPG or online multiplayer game. Period.

If anything AT is more accepting than most places, so just stfu n00b.

Are you going to sit there and say that most stereotypes are wrong for most of the population? Stereotypes don't just come out of nowhere, they have a large basis in real life. While it's certainly not fair to judge someone based on stereotypes, for pure statistical purposes one can assume that the majority of each race adheres to their respective stereotype. You can call me racist if you want(against all races because I think stereotypes apply are about as accurate for all races) but at least I'm not lying to myself.

This is very true. It's not like someone woke up one day and said "Hey! Oriental people have a hard time driving!" or "Hey! Black people love fried chicken and grape kool-aid!" or "Hey! White people are rich!"

These stereotypes are based in reality.

i know some poor white trash who can't drive and eat fried chicken!

Stereotypically speaking, you are a racist then...
The stereotypical racist is not racist against every race (which I would be if you want to call me a stereotypical racist because of my racial comments).

*sisq0kidd disappears in a puff of logic* :D

Stereotypes are also based in antiquity, though. Not a lot of them are modern, or even updated for modern times. "White trash" is (I believe) a fairly new concept.

First off, you can't spell, so anything you say is null.

Second off, you're the one who's being sensitive, and if you can't see that, then seriously just stop posting. I get tired of dumbasses like you making dumb threads like this.

Go say stupid things somewhere else.

From an outsider's POV, you all are overtly racist whether you think so or not... It seems as if the majority here are old, lonely white men who hate life/minorities/women/anything non-computer related...

Hello Kettle? This is pot... you're bla... African American. :D

Well I recently watched a WWII documentary and now I see the light... everyone hates Germans... and I'm part German... so why does everyone discriminate against me?

I am color blind in my dislike.
Self serving and using the name of God such as Pat Buchannan, Jesse Jackson, and many others. Pedophile freeks like Michael Jackson, and that jerk in Fl.

Outright liars and crooks such as Tom Delay, Senator Byrd, Dick Cheney and others.

Any public figure that uses their name to abuse and bypass the law of this land. If they happen to be other than white, it does not make me a raceist. your assumption that it does make me a raceist makes you out to be the raceist fool

There is a fine line between prejudging someone and actually being prejudice towards them. There's a difference between thinking it and acting it.
