:D ROFLMFAO! Yeah, I actually laughed out loud here at work in the cube farm when I read that. I'm not sure why it's that funny, it just is.

I think racism is hilarious. I'm white, so it doesn't affect me. I just think stereotypes are funny whether they apply to blacks, whites, or the Dutch (f***ing Dutch and their beady eyes). Perhaps if I were black and I got followed around a store while shopping I'd find racism less funny, but I am who I am.

Most of my black friends love racist jokes as much as I do, except for the uptight ones. That makes me feel a little better about finding them funny.

Oh, and people who carry guns and steal things like baggy clothes because they conceal said items. Many young kids (minorities and otherwise) find stealing and carrying guns to be cool. So, wearing baggy clothes evolved as being cool because it was something that people who were cool for other reasons would wear. It's not racist, it's just a fact.

As I understand it, it all got started to facilitate shop lifting.
And no, I'm not kidding.

Which abdicates him from all racist remarks, correct?

But of course. dont you know Murphy's law?

wow, too bad I wasted my first post huh? Man, I feel really bad. It's a shame I'm a moron unlike yourself. What a great use of your time, keep on trucking asshole.

First impressions are key. I deeply lament the fact that I wasted an entire 30 seconds of my life, which could have been used to do other productive things such as...light a match, reheat some bread, turn a light switch on and off as many times as possible...damn. Oh, and I am an asshole, all Marines/Trainees are. :D

Easy trigger! Whoa turbo! He's just messing with you. And plus, if it wasn't funny, you wouldn't be pissed.

I'm so glad that you brought up first impressions. Because mine of you are very like yours of me. And to the other guy. I haven't been around here long enough to know that he's kidding.

And the person that replied never said that only minorities use baggy clothing to hide weapons.

I was in a electronics lab one day, and the TA asked what we could use the timer for. Was it stereotypical and racist when an Arab student said, "Bombs?"

You're the noob, not me. I was just starting you off easy. Wait until someone like Red Dawn gets his verbal bashing skills on you. If you think I'm an asshole...

No, but if it was in "Scared Of Anyone Who Isn't White" City, USA, he'd be under arrest by the FBI right now. :p

Hehe, true. After he said it we all looked at him funny, and he just said, "What?" It was pretty comical. :p

I don't see a lot of white people wearing baggy clothing. I thought they were the minority these days.
