That's a pretty ignorant statement...you're kidding, right?
QUIT REINFORCING STEREOTYPES.

Better than Usher. Never in a cage or on a table. You? :P

I guess comments like this don't bend most people out of shape and we find it funny.

I think she was teasing.

Many people truly believe that most whites are inherently void of "soul" and are analytical and articulate rather than "hip" and "rhythmic." Whatever the case may be, that is an insult.

There is no excuse for the use of phrases like "white men can't jump" or "white people can't dance." If people excuse phrases like that then they are subconsciously excusing the belief that nonwhites (usually blacks) are inherently nonanalytical and nonarticulate, but are damn good dancers who sure know how to entertain. :(

I can't dance, I don't want to be able to jump and thankfully I am analytical otherwise I'm not going to make money in life. Also, I am rich, I embody everything that is "the man". I am proud of that.

edit: Also, polosandpearls i like your screenname can we get married soon? haha

Yes I was only kidding. :)

I agree. That's why I refered to his "honest ignorance" -- not being raised in American culture, he honestly didn't know and shouldn't be expected to know. Then there's wilfull igorance and feigned ingorance . . . .

How do you get a dead baby out of a blender? With tostitos.

People laugh at that joke because it's funny. I don't know how you'd fit a baby into a blender and I don't think anyone wants to eat them with tostitos.

I also got your joke and I'm fine with it.

The thing is these girls were joking too.

Wow - this is an interesting way to parse 'white men can't dance.' I'm not sure, though, that I understand the connection between 'rhythmic' and 'analytical', at least as far as mutual exclusivity (or really at all) . . . it almost seems like a false dilemma, when posed as a 'this or that' equation - are these the only two true options? Or do you mean that these things are played off each other (incorrectly) and this error is essentially the prejudiced part of the equation?

I'm not very well versed in sociology - maybe you can help me understand?

So strange......so very strange

The tostito thing or everything else?

It's called being a gentleman, at least for the guys. Seems like something most fraternities profess to value.

But of course, since you claim to prize all things Southern, I would have thought you would have known that already.

The tostito thing. I'd never heard anything like that before.

Seriously? Next you'll say you never heard pirate jokes or pedophile jokes either.

Are you rich or are your parents rich? ;)

That's part of it.
