re: #133 RogueOne

Unless you’re going to make the argument that Kruk did earlier, that black men are inherently better athletes and “athlete” is code for “black”. That’s the kind of reasoning that got Jimmy the greek tossed for being a racist. Have you come to terms with your racist beliefs?

When I hear the term “athlete” the first person to pop in my head is Jim Thorpe. Does that mean I have a deep seated hatred of native americans?

Ah yes, the standard reveral. The person who calls out a sterotype is the one holding the racist beliefs, not the one who employs them. Simply denying that a sterotype exists doesn’t do anything to fight it, it only enables it.
