*I wasn't around for Exit days* BUT in the case of the last year and a half since I have moved here, I completely disagree. Cox and Tenaglia (and from what I hear, most Tenaglia parties) was the ONLY party I went to the whole time I have lived here that I experienced this.

I have actually been much relieved since coming down here to not experiece this anymore.

Originally posted by Moral Hazard I think it has more to do with ease of identification rather then overt racism. In a nation where the majority of inhabitants are white it becomes easier to identify someone who is not by connecting their race with other discriptors. For instance.... I could say "Just go talk to that guy over there staring at the booth like a zombie." when someone asks me for pills, however, as there may be a bunch of crackheads with blank faces it becomes unclear who I'm talking about. If I say "go talk to the 50 y/o sketchy Asian" it narrows the field quite a bit.

I agree with some of that. However, "50-year old sketchy asian" is a very specific descriptor-- it's useful in identifying someone, but it's not a generalization.

It's just when people say "too many asians" it's different. It serves no practical purpose. It's not like anyone says "too many brunnettes", why would they?

I think what you're missing here is that those who would talk about Viva to people who may be interested in hearing them talk about Viva know that the phrase "too many asians" means "too many sketchy, rude, zombie-like, pilons, decendant of the mongoloid race bumping into you and taking up dance floor space that could be better utilized by those seeking to enjoy the music rather then persons needing a place to be while ingesting chemical narcotics" rather then simply "too many of those people with different shaped eyes and a slightly darker skin pigmentations who may or may not have been born somewhere in the Pacific Rim." We have a shared frame of reference thus we know the phrase "too many asians" refers to something more then persons of the mongoloid race. I can assure you that these same people would not utter that phrase to someone who was not already familure with what is meant by it.

LOL

See, I know what you're talking about, but I've seen it posted several times and not everyone does know that's what you're talking about. Who cares if they're asian? All they should care about is if they're sketchtards. Besides, this is a case where using the word sketchtard is more descriptive than simply "asian" AND it sounds less ignorant.

The thing is, when you use phrases like that, then people like me... if for some reason am tired, gets looked at and dismissed as a sketchtard/gangstard, when I'm just asian! (and very rave-cool)

also, sketchtard has the same amount of syllables, so it doesn't take anymore effort.

Originally posted by Jayx1 i think this can be answered quite easily. Most people in canada are white. Therefore the most common type of person is white. So it is understood that a person being referred to is probably white unless otherwise mentioned.

I agree that this prolly is almost ALWASY the reason. If I were to make such a statement, that would be the reason I made it.

So like,
the last 3 pages actually covered no additional material. This reminds me why I left TA. Everyone just blabs their side in 10 different posts with just words arranged differently, but couldn't even comprehend the idea of actually being open minded.

Racism is for high school. If you still get offened by it you haven't aged far. As for image and how others percieve you, thats another thing for high school.

So really, there shouldn't even be a discussion here. Like it was said twice in this thread already.
