Black people are criminals
In America, the cities with the largest per-capita crime rates are those that have 70% or higher census rates of black people
Black people are typically lazy.
Is this statment racist?
Yes?
No?
Why?
Why not?

Mexicans typically speak Spanish.
White people are typically obese, ugly, and smell like cabbage soup, as long as we're dealing in stereotypes, especially inaccurate ones.
Hey now. I'll have you know that I do not smell like cabbage.

It is most certainly a stereotype. Whether it is racist or not depends on context and intent.

Hey, if it gets your attention, it's all good.
And you gotta admit...it sure did that.
In what context other than as an example of racial bigotry is it not racist?
I am not baiting anyone. there is a consensus that "typical white person" is not racist therefore it begs the question I ask in this poll.
You want to see baiting just look at the select few obama fans baiting me in recent threads.
Mexicans typically speak Spanish.
My point: What if it's simply an accurate description of what the majority of one group is like? That would not be racist. Saying ALL blacks are lazy would clearly be racist.
Yes because of how to state it. If you were to say, "Black people are statistically lazier then other races", and then provide facts to back your statement it would NOT be racist.
Saying "Black people are typically great athletes" is also racist.
Stereotypes are harmless, heck Southerners hear them all the time. And laugh
Don't I know it. I've been in Deliverance for a couple months and I hear the most ignorant things. I get ribbed on here by people who couldn't hold my jock intellectually.
If people saw northern Alabama, they would really dismiss the stereotypes they hear. Of course, the further south they go, the more the stereotypes get justified.
Only to see if it needed to be shut down, immediately, and also to keep an eye on it. Threads like these can degenerate fast.
Do you mean all black people? Are you a comedian making a joke? Are you making a sarcastic/humorous comment to your black friends. Was the intent to characterize all black people this way and to pigeon-hole them that way? Is it an anecdotal statement that does not stand on it's own? I'm sure their are other examples, but you get the point.
Still fixated on this, eh Reverend. Context and intent. Try applying these concepts to the obsession you have with this statement. And, btw, this is baiting, as your intent on this thread is dishonest. You are trying to bait posters into another "typical white person" debate, with this type of attempted deception. I was quite correct about the "bait" of your thread.
And in those threads, your baiting is quite evident. Don't throw stones.
If you think that Obama calling his Grandmother a racist in one breath, then saying her racism is "typical of white people" in another, then one would have to conclude that my theoretical topic statment is equal to judgment as Obama's.
