I'm not a racist, but...

[Idhan]

I'm thinking that we could have a game based around the ill-omened clause, "I'm not a racist, but..."

Then we could end the sentence with things that may or may not be racist.

Examples:

1. I'm not a racist, but Latinos are only capable of perceiving electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths between 380 and 750 nanometers or so.

2. I'm not a racist, but white people get sunburned more easily for any given period of time exposed to the sun at any given level of intensity than black people.

3. I'm not a racist, but black people synthesize less vitamin D for any given period of time exposed to the sun at any given level of intensity than white people.

4. I'm not a racist, but most Thai people only have five fingers per hand.

I'm not a racist, but I prefer white when playing chess.

LOL, this is such a car-crash idea for a thread, now where's my popcorn?

[Alicia Avocado]

'But' usually can be defined as the following....

"Forget what I just said, now I will tell you what I really mean."

Example:

That dress is nice, but this one would be more flattering.

Translation: That dress looks horrible, try this one instead.

Even though I use that word...I hate it. LOL

Wow, when I saw the title of this thread in my new posts list I said "oh jeez." Anything prefaced by such a phrase is probably racist. I have a friend who says it all the time, and it pisses me off to no end.

So white guys are assholes?

That was quicker than I thought it was going to be.

You guys underestimate the power of people on VB. It's probably because you're racist. *nods*

Making a sweeping generalization of people according to their race = racism.

I'm not racist but I like to empower myself at dinner parties by introducing myself as a cracker.

Way to turn around the negativity.
