 If two loving couples want to engage in anal sex in the privacy of their own home, then so be it.  DV just offers them some insight, tips and advice on taking a walk on the brown side...

But Teh, wouldn't those two statements be more accurately described as 'stereotypes'?

That too...if you want to get technical, you could say they were racial or racist stereotypes. Now if you said "Why do all Metallica fans have vacant looks on their faces?", that would be a simple stereotype and not racially based.
 
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

I think it depends on how things are said as well. If you are making a statement based on what you have observed about a certain race, like I notice a lot of East Indians being taxi drivers. But if they way you are saying it sounds angry like its a fact... You know what I mean? lol Not very good at explaining myself at times. :)

 I'm not quite sure I agree with you, Teh...  A Racist is someone who thinks his/her race is above all others.  My statements contained no material that would suggest my race is above any other race.  What they did contain, in my own opinion, were 'cultural stereotypes', which is differerent then 'racism', in my opinion...

Not necessarily. I hate quoting Wikipedia, but sometimes they're succinct:

[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]"Racism is a belief or doctrine that differences in physical appearance between people (such as those upon which the concept of race is based) determine cultural or individual achievement, and usually involve the idea that one's own 'race' is superior."
[hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]
Note the "usually" part. It's not integral to racism, just a frequent component. You can be racist and not think that your own race is superior. But I'll be the first to admit that that's typically the way it works.
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

"Well the first comment about Asians driving, I would consider racist because who are you to judge who is a better driver. You are saying that Asians are bad drivers and assuming that you are white, it would suggest that your race thinks they are above in this situation.

BTW I am a white female and the best on the road. lol ;P

Here's now where people are divided.  Again, some might consider that a 'racist' statement, while others may not.  Now the second question...  what if it was observed that Asians generally have a harder time navigating their vehicle?  Now it's not a 'stereotype' any more, it's an 'observation'...

Observed is the key word, more polite way to hidden racism. lol

I don't know, all I know is if you cut me off you better give me some kind of signal of apology for your wrong doing :)

Anyhow, DV is back up, so I must leave you now, ladies & gentlemen...  I've done my best to increase the hit count here, and it's been a pleasure!

Take care,

 yups, hehe

 ... im on a chronic shit list since i said some naughty things about the dv admins and the semi competent mods...

 yups, hehe

 ...as for me being the hacker to bring dv to its knees, lol...  you got the wrong man... i have no idea whats going on. im almost never around from 8 to 5 pm. i am normally to busy working... low profile i guess u could call working 12 hr days a low profile. speaking of which i have to get back to work...

 that's what i told steve, even told him to go down to where you worked and see for himself that you couldn't possibly be lurking on DV during those times he said you were posting and hacking, but as usual he's under the delusional cloud of pot.

 ...a round of applause for the headsman... if you please...

 surely you don't mean the grand poobah aka fire crotch? that child needs a right royal spanking with a pin paddle and several electric zaps to his testicles.
