I agree with Wanna Be. I prefer small Asian women and petite female Urologists. Preferable under 105 # for all my after-market vulnerable position exams. Size does matter.

Is that not sound logic? One of the principal teachings or good parents and instructors is "what is good for the goose is good for the gander". It looks to me like anyone who objects
to that sound of logic is someone grossly invested in their own self identity as a victim. Their objections become relevant when they fear another party is not granting them victim status.

If I am missing something, please point it out. Intellectual debate is one of the things that has made this country and our society the best in the world.

Honestly I'd have to ask your reasoning behind it.

Again theirs a lot of levels to this stuff that most just plain don't want to go into. Lots a nuance .Also racism has just become this dog whistle people like to use to shut people up when they say something they don't like or disagree with them. Like how peoel call Trump a racist all the time even though they can't really point out a single time he was a legitimate racist. And in my book legit racism is harmful.

If you came to me and said I prefer white guys or black guys or Mexicans working one my house or tractor or whatever first question would be :WHY.
Now if you explained that every black crew you've had was just absolute crap and gave examples, ok fair. Might be because that demographic of works in your area just generally don't do good work for reasons XYZ. At that point it's not " I CANT STAND DARKIES AND DONT WANNA GIVE THEM ANYTHING" it's just from experience you've been shown they don't work well .
If you said your prefer a white crew and just said " well I really want to support white owned businesses in my area " I mean ok I guess that fair
If you said Mexicans because all the ones you seen and delt with are super fast efficient and you have good luck . Fine ,cool. I don't really see any type of harmful racism in that for the most part.

Now if you said " I want a black guy cutting my lawn because I like seeing them work under me" then umm...yeah I'd be like confused

And then we can go back to some people just plain being more comfortable dealing with people who look like them or they feel when understand them. And honestly I've seen this so much when people say their not like that but you throw them into a situation where they have to option their naturally going to gravitate that way. And this ain't be defending that person in OP's original post but the thought process as a whole.

So me as a trapper, if you plop me down in an outdoor convention and I don't know anyone but I see other people who obviously look like their trappers I will naturally gravitate to them . Gimme a few a few guys that are all gunsmiths and I need work and I learn one guy is a trapper then yes I will probably gravitate towards them at first. Why ? Because theirs the common whatever. Hay he's a trapper he might better understand ABCD I need.

Another example my GF who is white. Love her to death were gonna be getting married soon so I know she's not racist but if given the option she's more comfortable with with another white person doing her hair. Why because their certain things alot of black hair stylists don't get about white hair that just common and understood to white people . And trust me I've seen how uncomfortable and somtimes pretty weird it will get. So I can't really say that racism.

Me , I've just about only have dated white women because generally we end up having more in common. Most stuff I'm interested in way more white women are interested in them black women as a majority ( sorry but you or that one gil you knew a while back are not majority, something else alot of people seem to forget). Does that make me racist? Personally I don't thinks so. At that point is just playing averages and compatibility.


Now if you're just doing it because you hate other races or think yours is superior then yeah that's some harmful crap. It if you just wanna support other people of your race , you just plain more comfortable for whatever reason
I mean if you want to try and super simplify stuff then yes you can call about any and everything racist. That what people seem to do now constantly. Very few want to have a legit discussion about this seems more then anything people just like to have their time in the sun of constant " well if they said this then I can say this haha"

Put the lawn mowing out for bid and state lowest bid not necessarily accepted,then you can choose who you like and say everyone had a fair chance.(whether they did or didnt).


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I want to be clear here, racism is wrong on any level committed by anyone. That being said, how many have watched Gifted Hands (Cuba Gooding Jr) or What the Lord Made (Mos Def) or read the books? These stories are about men who rose above all of the shackles society tried to place on them to accomplish their lofty goals. Literally miracle-like break through in the medical field.

Raising your child to set goals and strive for them is the American dream. Not training the next generation of perpetual victims asking for a new entitlement. Change my mind...

IMO, the first qualification for selecting a pediatrician is whether he or she excels at medical care for children, period.

And in this current climate if he/her/it allows outside factors like race, politics, perversion to influence medical care decisions.

That sign refers to gang colors. Not people of color. For instance bloods where red and crips wear blue. Gang members dress to show their gang affiliations.

Back in July of 1995, a week or so before one of my best friends got married, we drove around and saw the sights in Kentucky. We went to a nudie bar, near where Jbryrd lives, that had a sign on the door that read "No Coloreds! ". That sign meant no non whites. We are both very white, but decided to look for another nudie bar anyway.

After the covid protocol, finding doctors like that is dang near impossible. Especially if you add doctors, out of fear of unemployment, not actually 'practicing' medicine.

That's something you don't see. Having been born, raised, and living my entire 50 plus years in the south I've never seen a no coloreds sign hanging on the door on any establishment.

I think he is talking about Laughlin NV. Across the Colorado river from Bullhead city AZ. And they are talking about motorcycle club colors. Couple clubs had a gunfight inside a casino. All of them wearing their "colors".

If your driving west across I40 to Barstow, turning off on hwy 68 at Kingman and dropping down the hill into Laughlin, is a nice break and couple miles shorter if you take HWY 95 south to I40 again. Can rent jet skis, see shows, eat, gamble if you want.

What is a chinky? Surely your not using racist terminology against Chinese folks are you?

He's been using that term for Chinese people on here for a while.

I am still waiting for Donovan to explain why if I decide my mom should change dr's because of skin color, that's not racist so long as I am more comfortable with a man whose skin is the same color as mine.

Sounds like most of y’all are okay with black folks as long as they don’t act black.

Well one I feel unless she's not mentally capable to decide herself that should be her decision honestly and two I've line out alot of scenarios already that would make me think one way or the other on a matter like that
