But not in the ways you think.

Everyday, there are countless threads bashing Europe, and primarily America. These insults are usually degrading, hurtful, unintelligent, and just plain socially incorrect. But, is anything done? Nope, these threads aren't against the rules for some reason.

However, one thread is made insulting maybe the Middle East, or Africa? Instant ban, thread locked.

People are allowed to generalize and call Americans fat, idiotic, retarded, redneck, trigger-happy, yet nobody cares.

If anyone said someone from the Middle East is automatically a terrorist, instant ban.


Discuss Why in society, some insulting stereotypes are allowed, but others aren't?

There's a difference between calling people fat and stupid compared to a terrorist.

Yes, you can be American.

Besides, I bet if you said "People from the middle east are terrorists!" (comparable to calling Americans fat), you'd get banned.

Because we're the super power and people be mad peanut butter and jelly. #yolo #swaggy #hashtags

No but seriously, it's because of our over dominance on other and the fact that we impose on ever other control like we're the world police

Honestly, it's people like you who are the worst posters. You think you're sooo much better than these threads, right?

Why not actually contribute to the discussion?

Thanks.


Actually, let me correct myself. I shouldn't say that the whole forum is racist because that would be a generalization. I would say "Some people on this forum are racist"

I know I can be American. I am. But it is not a race.

And I wouldn't be so stupid to generalize a whole region based on the actions a few extremists, so your last point is irrelevant.

The people from the Middle East aren't that well represented here on the flood. They're not on this forum so they can't defend themselves. Butthurt Americans however...

If your family has lived in America for generations I'd consider you American.

Also, you know what I meant anyway, stop trying to be a smartass.
