I dont think thats racist, thats just retarted. Whenever I meet anyone they start out with a blank slate. That means if I know 100 guys who wear red shirts, and are all ****s, and I meet a guy in a red shirt, hes got a blank slate, and sometimes it sucks, and sometimes theyre alright guys. It applies to race too. I acknowledge even, due to my cynical tendencies, that its a bit naive: it IS scientific that if 100 black guys are ****ing *******s (btw knowing 4 or 5 is NOT scientific) and I meet a black guy, that I can assume based on the data that he will suck...but people arent numbers. And at the same time, most black people I know are douchebags, but so are most white people, most jews, most ***s, asians, etc., which is why racism never made sense to me. Every race and creed has their own unique annoying characteristics, and that makes them all suck equally, which is why (in general) personality-wise people who identify themselves with such inherent blanket characteristics such as race or religion, are wicked annoying terrible people.
In conclusion, if oojay actually only knows 100 black people and they all suck, it is scientific for him to assume all do. But what are the chances that hes just slightly bigoted? Much higher I feel.
