So it's ok to play upon Indian stereotypes (Kwik-E-Mart). What happens if we played upon African American Stereotypes??

Indians AFAIK weren't ever slaves in this country.

Indians AFAIK were never terrorized and lynched or segregated from their fellow white citizens in this country.

There is nothing racist about Kwik-E-Mart, nor do I think most Indians or Americans think having the stereotype as entrepreneurs is negative.

What is this thread about?</end quote></div>


you forgot one.

Indians are working hard to improve their lot in life instead of relying on some damn fool politician to give them someone else's money.


and no I am not encompassing all of the African American community, but its amazing how damn frequent those who claim to support them go out of their way to load upon reason upon reason for them to be down - effetively your saying that they are not capable of overcoming past problems and move forward on their own - which is about as rascist as you can get!</end quote></div>

Do you have proof of what you're saying or are you lying again?</end quote></div>


since when did truth matter to you?

I made an observation, not a statement of fact. If you cannot tell the difference between the two then I suggest you refrain from injecting displays of idiocy.

So, were you asking for proof or just being stupid again? (see, rhetorical questions add nothing to the conversation, which constitutes the majority of your posting - nothings)</end quote></div>

Then I will assuming you are a liar unless you can provide proof from your observations. BTW, are you indian or jewish? I'm asking because I want to tell you my own observations.
</end quote></div>

then start telling instead of crying.

As for your background or mine, I don't trust anything anyone posts on these boards unless backed with links.

Unfortunately life does not provide convienent links that I can post into internet messages.

So, are you going to tell use your own observations or just be stupid again?</end quote></div>

Well, if you're going to make asinine remarks about certain groups, you better have something to back it up. Your cop-out that it's an observation on your part is weak and I see right through it. You know and I know that you are lying and just making things up based on what you heard or read about. Again, back up your racist statements with situations you've been in or STFU with the remarks.

EDIT: I doubt you'll say anything because, from what I see, you're most likely some snot-nosed punk who thinks he's cool on the internet and likes to run his mouth off talking about things he doesn't know about. Face-to-face, you're probably as silent as a mouse.

The Simpsons does other stereotyping, such as having the Italian characters as either a cook(Luigi) or mobster(Fat Tony).

I didn't say anything like that.

But it is what it is, blacks do receive special consideration because of issues that mostly occurred in the past - right or wrong. This is what I said in a following post.

Nope, never said that. But they do receive protections above and beyond other minority groups.


Amazing how you guys are trying to twist my word, I'm just stating the facts, I didn't set these policies, nor do I necessarily agree with them.

You mean blacks? Why do you have to be all PC with that "African American" BS? It's not even accurate. Blacks don't ONLY come from Africa.

Also, I see plenty of black jokes.

Anyway, it makes me laugh when I see some 16 y/o black kid who's wearing a 200 dollar outfit, and he's bitching about how the white man owes him. Like hell anyone owes you anything, you grew up in a well off suburb and your mommy and daddy bought you an escalade and fubu clothes. Oh, and what is THAT hiding from my view? A WHITE FRIEND? Get a job.

Don't get me wrong, I have black friends. They can speak english though, and they buy their own stupid toys.

Is the name "Kwik-E-Mart" somehow tied to Indian culture? I dont think so. It popular because its the generic name of a fictional store on one of the most popular TV shows of all time.

If you're making the connection, that because on said show, the character who owns the particular franchise, is an Indian named Apoo(sp?), I think you're reaching a little too far.

I can see if it was named "Ind-E-Mart" or "Apoo-Mart", or something related to Indians of the Indian character on the show maybe, but not "Kwik-E-Mart"

If you ask me, the sterotype that Indians work in 7-11 and 7-11 type stores, is inaccurate. In my expirience, most of those types of stores are either staffed by whites or Arabs.
