Sheesh. What a load of perfect-example White-Privilege Blindhood crap from scaeagles and jazzman. Get a fracking clue! No one's accusing YOU personally.

I guess generalities are OK if you think they're OK, but not if you think they're not. I didn't suggest anyone was talking to me personally. When McCain used the term Gook he wasn't talking to every Asain. I'm sure Koreans in the Los Angeles area don't hate every black person. I would figure that women are oppressed by men of all races. A large majority of the black population voted for prop 8 in CA. I could go on and on, but it's pointless.

Next time someone uses the term "that's so gay", I'm sure they don't mean it as demeaning to all gay people, so it must be OK. Or if someone says they want to "Jew someone down", that's OK, because they didn't mean all Jews are greedy. Or if I call a man a rag head, it's OK, because not all Middle Eastern people wear headdresses.

Open your eyes, ISM, and you get a "fracking clue" that the only generalities that are acceptable are negative toward white people. They aren't the only ones used by any means, but they are the ones that are even remotely accepted.
