no, to be quite honest, i am not in any way prejudiced in terms of a persons skin colour or ethnic background.

i can understand to a point making judgements on an individual in terms of how they dress or choose to present themselves, but i fail to see how stereotyping a black person as being more likely to attack you in a dark street at night than a white person is really any more acceptable than telling racist jokes.

but regardless, you seem to be quite comfortable with the fact that you are racist, so my question is answered.

Seems to be getting quite rowdy in here..


Stereotypes are useful for categorising, however, should they offend someone, anyone at all, surely they require some modification or clarification.

Yeah,I wish Hitler had done some modifying and clarifying about those "pesky" Jews.Instead of saying they were disease ridden,hook nosed sons of Satan who wanted to eat christian children for Passover....he could have said that they were__________oh,why dont you fill in the blank.

Stereotypes are useful for ....supporting bigotted belief,thats the only use I can see.I am a bigot.I dislike Rich Rebublican Yuppies.That doesnt make it right or justified,just something I need to overcome,like all other forms of ignorance.

It's kinda funny that this thread, which was originally about money, became about racism...

"Jewish" is not a race. Neither is "Mexican". These are ethnicities.

I'm terrible...I mean TERRIBLE with money. I rarely think past that day with spending. I don't plan ahead well, then I stres myself something terrible when we're broke.

My wife isn't any better. She was when I met her, but I kinda destroyed that. lol. didn't mean to!
I wish she was better with it than me.

I am very bohemian in my sensibilities. I'm happier with less money. I don't want the stress and pressure that comes with it! I would be happier painting and talking all day and not having many worldy things. I'd be happiest living in my car, driving from place to place
