First Vinylone, now you...board is getting infested with racist bitches.
You know Vinylone is a Mexican, a real honest to goodness Dwarf, and ugly, right? As far as minorities go, he's on the bottom of the totem. I doubt very highly that he has any room to be a racist.

Yet he still pulls it off. Astonishing.
I don't understand why this always has to be such a sensitive subject. Maybe you like all people on an individual basis but don't like certain cultural nuances. Why would you like another culture as much as yours? If you preferred a different culture then you'd be a different culture. You like what you are and are what you like.
America has a black culture that I'm not fond of. If I was then I'd sound like the white DJ's on 92.5 f.m. (Utah's hip-hop station), where different close, etc.
America has a Southern white culture that I'm not fond of. If I was then I'd where sleeveless, button up jean shirts and scream "who dat" while shooting a friend's big screen in his front yard.
It's the same. You're just as racist for making fun of Rednecks as you are for not liking any other culture of your choosing.
I'm not racist, but that doesn't mean I'm going to move into a Juneau community and copy everything my neighbors do. I like how I am and like to be around a certain crowd.

Great post. +2
I think everyone has prejudices, but it seems like there isn't a distinction between prejudice and racism anymore. I always thought there was a difference. All of Raspberry's issues sound more like prejudice to me.

Thanks, there, eh, Blood. This is just the type of intellectual honesty that I DEMAND.
it seems like prejudice is thinking a certain way, and racism is acting on that way of thinking. so I would say you may have prejudices, but you haven't been racist because you haven't really taken an action based upon your prejudice. Just making fun of Vinylone doesn't count, sorry.
perhaps that's oversimplifying, but I think it's in the ballpark.
No, the point is that Everyone's a Little Bit Racist. That's the name of the song Kicky referenced. I added The Internet Is For Porn. I'd post links, but...
I wasn't aware. My bad.
