If you can't see the very subtle implications in his comment, you must be lying to yourself. Yes, he never outright says "I hate black culture" but you can connect some dots and figure it out.

I think "racial stereotype" would be more appropriate than "racism."

granted it was a stereotype. But I don't think anyone can deny the negative connotation and mockery involved in his comment. IMO, if you mock a culture/race, you're racist. Maybe I'm crazy.

And I'm not one of those uber sensitive "Oh my god you cant say that" type of people. Neither am I black. Doesn't mean I wont agree that it was racist.

lol, that seems to happen a lot. People arguing over little difference of word definitions. It's kinda funny.

I'm starting to think someone read the "fuck you SOE" thread and pulled the plug on all of us out of anger.
