Yeah, but these are just anonymous posts on the internet. I'm sure the majority (I hope) of those assumptions are just based on online personas, not actual people :p |

Why would anyone be insecure that African-Americans have influenced house music a great deal in this country? They've influenced almost every other genre as well.
Your never-ending assumptions about the character of people on this board are quite patronizing, to say the least. |
I wrote: 'some'. It would be reasonable for you to at least concede that in any group of people, there will be a portion of those who will be bound to follow the usual stereotypes.
I made this remark based on certain jokes or posts, which as EddieZilker was kind enough to point out, I am not fully understanding as there is prior history to it.
But if you want to defend those who made those jokes, while I do agree that they have a right to like this sort of humor and to express themselves, I equally have a right to find some of it less than tasteful, or at the very least predictable and express that feeling.
And in truth, I only felt the need to comment because I originated the reference to gay crowds. Mr jumpy... |

If taken completely out of TA context, it does look like rather random, immature, and intentionally offensive banter...which it is, but in a more self-deprecating way, with the intention of mocking ourselves and each other in reference to past, long-settled debates.
...and Jay said some stuff, too. |

You call it that, I call it socially-sanctioned bigotry and groupthink from under the shroud of cowardly anonymity.

Yeah I guess it looks that way, if you're gay. |

I suppose it's different when you're gleefully making fun of Tom Colotonio for being overweight. |
