I enjoy both Rugby and Ballroom / Latin dancing. I have never been as terrified playing rubgy as I have been learning tango.

No, not everyone. Some of us aren't racist.

I'd say that's toeing the line. I'd be really cautious if someone used that around me, and I'd ask them what their definition of "dark skin tone" is.

It's a matter of contribution. You can't separate the discussion from the impact. Saying "I don't like tomatoes" could be the same as saying "I've never found a tomato that I like, but it could possibly happen" which is the argument you're making. If there were no racists, that would totally be...

Because race is a massively broad brush and things like blue eyes or curly hair aren't nearly as massive. That's true, those preferences are learned. They just don't (generally) contribute to discrimination (except in your tomboys vs classically feminine example but that's a different...

"Racial preference" is malleable in that it's a learned prejudice and not a preference. As infants we seek parity in features to help with recognition, but after that there's really no excuse. I guess you could say "I'm not attracted to anyone who looks different from my general features" and it...

Well said. Have some claps: http://assets0.ordienetworks.com/images/GifGuide/clapping/audience.gif

Making "easy" (otherwise known as lazy) generalizations about race is a factor of racism. If it's too hard for you to be specific in describing something, you probably shouldn't be having the conversation.

No, I said "Ignorant or racist". Please learn to read and understand. Since you didn't know about that prior to this, you were being ignorant. See, I was being nice and giving you an out due to ignorance, since I know that no one can know everything. It's okay to not know something and then...

No, it's really not. Sexual attraction isn't something that can be easily changed, and the sex you're attracted to is pretty much set from day 1. Now, I know where a lot of you are coming from, but you're phrasing things incorrectly and making yourselves racist by association. Examples...

Eh, wrong. Some black people have blonde hair. Stop being either ignorant or racist please. http://blackgirllonghair.com/2012/05/black-people-with-naturally-blonde-hair/ Checkmate, suck on it.

What game is that?

Yes, if you're a jerk about it. Now, you weren't being a jerk. Your post was honest and true. PCs, when built correctly and everything is working right, are many times better than consoles. They're like having a souped-up racing car vs a low-end commuter car. The thing is, some people don't...

The only rule is to rule. Everything else is just warm-up.
