Tiny dogs. Thank you Raoul. But also some of the dog's owners have earned my scorn. Over here, some people paint their yippy dog's ears or feet pink, purple, green or what have you. I also think the dogs aren't keen on being done up to look like people.

I have no problem with Asians, but "Azns" make me want to kill.

Does the word "fob" have any relation to that?

Isn't hating bigots and the way black people act kinda contradictory?

Slartibartfast · Post by **Slartibartfast** » 2002-11-14 09:21pm

Prejudice != Hatred, AFAIK.
Prejudice is preconceived ideas about how certain 'kinds' of people would behave before knowing them.

Woudl someone who states, "I hate the way black people act" be considered a bigot, a racist, prejudiced, or a combination?

Not necessarily. It's bigoted to assume that all black people must act a certain way. It is not bigoted to be upset when you see black people deliberately conforming to those moronic stereotypes.

Raptor 597 · Post by **Raptor 597** » 2002-11-14 09:23pm

Not really, most black people I know are cool. But the get in your face attitude isn't nice. Or it just could Re=mnants of Fundie Programs I haven't thrown of yet, give me 10 years

So hating the way people act is OK, as long s you don't assume ALL peopela ac that way.

Makes a sort of sense.

Yeah but the way some tout how they have suffered at the "hands of the white man!!!" is sometimes grating...to say the least.

I once worked with one of them and my friend Derric who jokes about this even got tired of it to the point, he basically said "Shut the fuck up foo...you have a decent job, nice life, and you are bitching about something you never felt any of!"

I truly cannot stand how some people feel the need to compare racial scars...we're all going to end up hating everyone.

Yeah, that burns my ass too. Considering my family was Irish, who were treated worse than slaves in the South

I don't like those oversensitive PC people you find everywhere nowadays. They're raelly irritating. On the other side of the political spectrum, fundies annoy me.

It can. Especially when they act especially fobbish when they have no reason to. Oh and F.O.B. means fresh off the boat. It's a slur used to describe new, usually Asian, immigrants.

Well I'm also a victim of prejudice, every time I talk about my racial background or country of origin I'm always getting resentful remarks about me being a playboy who is going to steal everybody's women with my good looks and extremely sexy accent and manners.

Being stereotyped sucks

Whenever I see someone with "Azn" in his name while playing an online game, what I really see is "please kill me quickly, brutally, and repeatedly."
