Lets See what our Preceptions are! AKA how racist is the escapist

[rekabdarb]

So I'm in an administration of justice class which is policing for you non college types.

And on tuesday i'm going to have an assignment where i have to go out and ask people (scary) about their first thoughts when i say certain things. But since most of the people who go to my school have only really been to california i wanted to see how other cultures and people outside my state/county/city would react to this.

So i'm gonna say a bunch o words and you say your reaction. Could be anywhere from I'm that to Niggers [In one unfortunate case...I'm glad to say i didn't know this person.]

So here goes.

Black
Latino
Irish
German
Catholic
Muslim
Mormon
Indian [it's how you think it]
United States of America
Homosexual
Female Police Officer
Male Police Officer .... 12 is good enough.

And now my responses because it wouldn't be nice if i left mine out.

Rare
Construction workers
Boondock Saints
Rammstein OR the super hot chicks who sit behind me
Hypocrites
unknown? We spend to much time focusing on the extremes is what i'm trying to get at
Faithful [ironic]
Buddhist
Stupid, but amazing...sometimes
FLOWERS EVERYWHERE
Hot
Detective Stabler

Anyways would be cool if people did this, because it's interesting to know about yourself and the community. If not oh wellz yet another failed thread by me. [and there are a lot]

 

[Imperius]

Are you trying to get us all banned?

I know that they are my countrymen, but that doesn't mean they don't need a boot in their ass.
They oughta get more militant if they want the Republicans to stop saying shit about them.

Black - goth and emo tied on this one, but if it has to be "black people-ish", Twitter.
Latino - hard worker
Irish - green
German - German chocolate cake
Catholic - er.. the Borgia popes
Muslim - Burka
Mormon - but.. no caffeine?!
Indian [it's how you think it] - the store a block from my house, the family who owns it. Alternatively, casinos.
United States of America - nationalism
Homosexual - Oh, man. Pink. Pink is what came instantly to mind.
Female Police Officer - Policewomen of Broward County
Male Police Officer - gun enthusiast

Edit: The homosexual one is funny to me because the words "gay", "queer" and "fag" have completely different associations in my mind. It's just that particular word. How odd.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Black and Latino aren't terms which come up that often round where I live.

Irish and German don't come up in any really meaningful way. Everyone says "I'm 1/64th Irish" on St Patrick's Day, otherwise it's a non-issue.

Catholic, that's a big one, forever being mentioned in relaiton to political controversy.

Muslim, good for a bogeyman far away, lots of "I'm not like that!" closer to home

Indian...dunno if it counts, but more stupid fuckers putting on crappy racist accents and thinking it's hilarious than anything Indians do. Oh, also, cricket and commonwealth games, I guess.

United States of America...stop talking about yourself so louldy

Female or Male police officer...everyone in the UK is legally required to play one of these on TV at least once in their lives?

EDIT: Heh, seems nobody is willing/able to give the OP a useful response.

 

[BathorysGraveland]

Black - Old school gangster rap.
Latino - Lupe Fuentes.
Irish - Snakes.
German - Pride.
Catholic - Massive Cathedrals.

Indian [it's how you think it] - Resistance.
United States of America - Arrogance.
Homosexual - Rob Halford.
Female Police Officer - BDSM. (don't ask)
Male Police Officer - Uniform.

Well, that was slightly amusing, I guess.

 

[ZeroMachine]

Are you trying to get us all banned?

OK, this made me laugh.

As for what I thought, it was literally just images of people of the races/religions/professions you stated that I know.

'Cept for the United States, where I thought "Canada".

I've been thinking of moving...

Alright, all my associations were really vague mental images, but basically what I got was-

Catholic- a church
Muslim- the Middle East

United States of America- a modern American city
Homosexual- I just see the word, no real reaction
Female Police Officer- an average female police officer
Male Police Officer- an average male police officer
