Re: Is it Racist....?
The choice of words for #2 is what makes it sound racist

Like, if I said "I dont like to see Indians wearing turbans" or "I dont like to see Jews wearing yamulkahs (spelling?)" or "I dont like to see Latinos wearing tank-tops"...those things sound racist.

But if I said "I dont like wearing tank-tops, yamulkahs, or turbans"...thats not racist

Just like how you saying "I dont like seeing black people wear baggy jeans" sounds racist, but saying "I dont like baggy jeans" does not sound racist

Hmmm....interesting.

That totally does not sound racist to me.

Because the whole thread was about black people. I was not talking about white people, Asian people or anything else.

Re: Is it Racist....?

Which, of course, is made clear in the thread title, right?

No, it's not.
