Personally, I think this thread has gotten way out of hand. Seriously. For God sakes just close it already. When have threads on race ever gone smoothly?

What's your point? I know plenty of Italians who actually DO look like Mario. Actually I'm kind of flattered that they chose an Italian to be a video game Superhero.

It's okay for threads to stay open. People can either enter the thread or not.

I am paying attention. You seem to be more intrigued with the Chinese stereotyping a little Italian guy than Italians themselves.

Truth is, most Italian men grow to look like that. And then they where Speedos on the beach. And Mario's teeth are a lot nice than most Italians. You could be walking down the street in Italy or Sicily, see the hottest guy ever, and he smiles and you're like "WOAH!"

So what was your point?

And I'm still waiting for someone to answer the thong and apparel question.

PS... DrPhil... did you really used to be DSTChaos?

yes, I have seen the speedos thing...not cool at all.

However most MEN due to sedentary lifestyle tend to grow like that, why do you think it's limited to Italian men?


and how long did it take you all to figger out who DrPhil was....?

On another note, calling him a "redneck pig" isn't any better. You're a white person typing to a white person but it's unnecessary to assume he's a redneck. Plus, the concept of a "racist redneck pig" is certainly a stereotype rooted in class bias.
Based on my threads and posts I've started and some of the things that I've posted on here, has given him and others the idea that I'm this stuck up, drama queen on a high horse. Well, I'm not. To me, his posts give me the idea that he's racist. He has his opinions about me based on my posts, and I'll continue to have mine about him based on his posts.

So what if I'm a white person typing to a white person. There's still a difference. He's a redneck and I'm not. He probably watches NASCAR.

Eh, I just choose to not call him Barack Obama. The liberal media and his follow....errr....supporters have convinced me that he is a higher being, capable of no wrong, who will deliver us from evil.

They say that a rising tide lifts all boats. However, some of us were so excited to see the tide come in, we moored ourselves to the dock, and are now experiencing (metaphorically, of course) an ironic gurgling death.

Yet more unfortunate statistics in the Great Hope Floats Tide Lifting Problem Disaster of 2009. Sigh . . . how could a kind decent God allow this sort of thing to happen?

I have noticed that too and you can express that sentiment without the off-color jokes. It is a silly distraction.

Because for Italian men, it's due to all the pasta they eat.

You are no better than the "redneck" you speak of. That's a pretty big blanket statement. And I know plenty of Northerners who aren't even close to being rednecks who love Nascar. Slow your roll.

But on a sidenote: I thought you were black?
