and what if a blakc guy isn't good, is picked on a team to play, expected to play well, but can't? Do you think that would be fair to that person.

My point is, there are too many variences within a race that make it unfair to place a blanket assumption on the people.

Well, that's what I mean - media-savvy as in our generation in particular probably should care about the stereotyping. Instead we shrug it off and worry about things we can affect more directly and locally. Perhaps some long-term focus in such areas would be helpful.

why? The stuff doesn't matter. Seeing an Indian taxi driver on the TV doesn't make everyone suddenly think less of Indians.

Sorry if this comes off wrong, but it seems to me that black people can only take a joke as long as it comes from another black person.

Lets see a white comedian go up there and use all kinds of vulgar slang in reference to other races..

Call Al Sharpton, we would have a KKK member.

Yeah, that is until everyone expects you have a 15" dong!

 

[thomsbrain]

my experience is whites are not at all sensitive, asians are barely sensitive, hispanics are only slightly sensitive, blacks are super sensitive, and italians shoot you if you look at them funny.

I dont mean to boast but look at the achievements of the indians above.. i bet now im gonna have people tell me like in the other forum that it reflects poorly on the condition of India as this results in a brain drain..

So everything else in the world was invented by other races?? Good enough for me.

I wonder why blacks are so sensitive... they seem to be the most racist and stereotypical of all... I see it all the time on the basketball court. I'm Chinese and don't look like I can play, and when I school them they attribute it to "luck" and start calling me Yao Ming (Jackie Chan before Yao Ming went to the NBA). I would say I'm not that sensitive but it bothers me that any Chinese dude who plays basketball is referred to as "Yao Ming" by blacks and messicans.

If the Gotti family represents Italians, then the Bush family likely represents an indigenous(sp) tribe somewhere deep in South America.

That's a mistake I think. According to forbes, the third richest actually is an Indian, but it's Lakshmi Mittal of Mittal Steel - Aziz Premji is ranked a far distant 38.

That's not as surprising as #4 though - Carlos Helu, a mexican telecom guy.

Historical subjugation, socioeconomic status, and media sensationalism.
