Stereotypes that you think are mostly true..

the thought of you liking tits brings me much happiness

 

I have a weird question ;why do people who are straight say something that they dislike is gay, but gay people don't call things that they dislike straight?

 

gay people are better?

 

It's called discrimination. The people who have been discriminated against because it's against what is "normal" typically deal with oppression. Whereas, if something is considered "normal" by a society- well, what reason would there be for the hatred that from a general populace?

 

I'm so glad.

 

i dont think you are a racist, just missinformed. there is no possiable way to say who commitits the most crimes because not everyone commiting a crime is caught. if your going on satistics, yes more blacks are arrested and charged, thus making them "criminals". but it doesnt mean they are they commit the most crimes.

here are some facts:


12% of all drug abusers in the United States are black. 50% of arrests for drug possession are blacks.

In six California counties surveyed in 1995, 100% of those individuals sent to trial on drug charges were minorities while the drug using population of those counties was more than 60% white.

 

thanx for clearing up my confusion. I think of weird stuff like that all the time.

 

Ps- about what willy wonka said in his first paragraph- more blacks are caught for petty crimes then whites. But that is because of where large groups of the populace live and many rich, white men tend to be involved in white collar crime- which is actually much more serious but typically when they do get caught (much less common), the sentences are slimmer because of a flawed and biased justice system that doesn't work.

 

Did what I said seriously make sense?

I love it when people ask serious questions like that because they really want to know. I ask questions to people very often.

One more thing I want to add is that religion plays a key with some people who discriminate there.

 

I've known gay people to call things they dislike gay...

 

I read the question wrong and didn't know it til I read duck's response. But my oppresion statement still applies and if you think of other oppressed groups, you can maybe get why?

Duck!

 

*ducks*

 

Everyone in Ireland is a drunk!

 

Mexicans will try to fit as many people into a vehicle as possible. It's refreshing in contrast to the Hummers and Escalades with only a driver and not a single passenger.

 

All the catholics at my old job hated minorities and gay people without having any good reasons for it.

 

I think even though 'gay' started out that way, it is much more innocent of a slang term in most cases now

but really, there are many words out there like 'gay'
'dumb', 'retarded', 'lame', 'ghetto', 'white' (as in describing why I can't play basketball or why it's strange that I listen to rap :tongue

you can't be so uptight about it, they is just words

 

Perhaps "gay" as in meaning "lame" evolved in the same way that "bad" could be used as its opposite intention as in "That's bad!" (meaning "That's awesome!")

...Or not. I commend anyone that learns English as a second language; I can barely understand it myself.

 

This conversation is so bald

 

heh, you don't realize how wrong what you just said is, if you are agaisnt the use of 'ga'y referring to 'bad' :tongue:

 

Does she mean "lame" as in "unable to walk"
