(2,515 posts)A little too broad.
When I read them, I substitute 'black men' or 'gay' or.....'poor Hispanic women' just to see how it reads.
Nasty.
The fact is when you break people into these demographic groups and create judgment rules that are not equal - you aren't.
The results are racist, bigoted opinions masked as revenge at worst, a stab at fairness at best.
Fairness isn't easily achieved but a good start is by judging people based on individual merits rather than color of skin, sex or sexual orientation.
The instant you don't, you are no different than someone blaming blacks for crime just because they saw someone of African descent arrested on the late news.
Keep it individual.
That broad brush is all over the place, outside the lines and inaccurate as hell.
