Does anyone notice that what offends people the most often has some truth behind it?

Question

Here is an example: If I said asian people are lazy, stupid, and unable to hold a job...would anyone be offended (besides white liberals who get offended at the drop of a pin)? No because many many asian people hold respectable jobs in the field of science or mathematics. Now if I said the same thing about black people you would never hear the end of it.

Another example: This one has to do with sports, if I said white men is incapable of playing quarterback no one would be offended because nearly all pro and college quarterbacks are white. Or if I said white men are can't make a 3 pointer to save their soul no one would be offended. Now if I said the same thing but that white men can't play running back (99.9% running backs are black) or that they are incapable of jumping as high as a black man, people would be outraged.

Answer 1

i completely agree. people get their panties all up in a bunch and start spouting off stuff like "waa that's generalizing! waaa" over statements that they know deep down are basically true.

Answer 2

Can I ask you a question ? Why do you feel the need to make nasty comments about anyone at all ?
What does it say about a person who has to build him self up by putting others down ?
I just thought I might give you a little food for thought !

Answer 3

i hate to say that every where i turn, there is a comment being made about "black" people as you say being, dumb, or smelly, or what every the heck you guys say.

I get affended when people judge a whole group of people, and not blame whoever did something wrong.

i'm not getting mad at you, but i'm just tired of the insults!!!!!

i guess people do get affended about what is true, but not about different races

Answer 4

Hahahaha thats true but I also get offended when people make an outrageous claim against me. :-)
