Quote from: Kami on February 12, 2009, 12:01:10 AMim more talking about the casual "sup my niggas".And I'm saying it matters who's doing the talking.If Chris Rock wants to get on here, he can damn well use "stereotypical ethnic ghetto-style individual" or "niggazzzzz!" or "stereotypical ethnic ghetto-style individual" etc... It's Chris Rock, ffs!As for your friend who "is a bit rude", and who "does it for entertainment and accepts his punishments", I see no reason why I should trust his motives.Quote from: Kami on February 12, 2009, 12:01:10 AMas for second, while thats nice for real life (and honestly i doubt that happens anymore), this is the internet.What does that really mean? Over time, the ways people connect over the internet are only going to become more sophisticated. Either way there's still a person on the other end of the connection. I don't aspire to treat people differently over the internet than I would in person.Regards,

i personally have never seen 'stereotypical ethnic ghetto-style individual' as being a racist term. the racist term would be the -er one. for one a racist person is never caught using 'stereotypical ethnic ghetto-style individual' as in and of itself its not derogatory. black people themselves use it all the time. 100% of the time, when a racist person talks to a black person, they use -er.secondly, its become a part of our english language as slang, whether we like it or not. while it most definitely remains light profanity, there's no racist undertone that it's used with. again, you see a racist undertone with -er, and not stereotypical ethnic ghetto-style individual. infact, as far as slang goes, it usually just means buddy. like "what's up my stereotypical ethnic ghetto-style individual". i'm not sure how 'buddy' can be used derogatorily to offend someone.so again i ask, why is stereotypical ethnic ghetto-style individual racist?

Black peoples non pronunciation of the letter "R" is the only reason "stereotypical ethnic ghetto-style individual" exsists.
now THAT sounds racist!
