The New And Improved Fashion Board

Of course the dislike is not greater. I don't think that is what Coltrane is saying and it's condescending of you to make that assumption. It's just a way to attempt to get someone to shut up and to maybe make them use their heads.

I was talking about me (which is why I used "I" rather than "you") when I referred to the dislike, not suggesting that Coltrane's feelings about it had changed with a personal circumstance.

You see, I do that too (brother in law and two nieces), but it does not necessarily result in stammering and backpedalling. Instead it frequently results in such crap as "oh, yeah? Well, I work with a black guy and he tells me jokes just like that one!" or some crap like that. People can be real assholes.

how about "bad neighborhood" to describe where black people live?

This last summer I have 3 teen boys at a b-ball tournament in Toledo. 2 black 1 white.

we're at a hotel checking in and I ask the lady if there is a good running route, or if the road out front goes for 3 miles so i can go down and back. She says "yes it does, but the neighborhood gets maybe not so safe." the guys are hanging a few feet back but hear her, and I hear one of the black kids snicker and say "the hood." but he's a bright kid and the fact is he hears a white person telling another white person to be careful because black people live that way.

That people are biased is something I don't think you can change. But the saddest thing to me is seeing the shit being forced down to the next generation.

Some fights aren't worth picking. Would you have changed his mind about homosexuality, or just his behavior while around you?

Besides, I've met your brother, and I suspect you beat yourself up about this more than he would. That's because he's one complex, bad-ass, fafo.*

*fatherfucker - my new fave term for the male who likeys the male.

Did he think that you were a Mexican with eurpoean lineage instead of native american?

I think he was trying to get out of the hole he'd dug himself in. I will say, it was creative.

The "aristocratic Mexican" thing came from a night where Shape Shifter, evenodds and I were at a bar with some of evenodds' friends, and one of them started going off about Mexicans as laborers. I let him ramble for a few minutes before pointing out that, I, in fact, am of Mexican descent.

Oh.

"Well, you know I was talking about the peasant Mexicans. You're clearly an Aristocratic Mexican. That's totally different."

So am I sterotyping because I have a strong image of you as an aristocratic Mexican:



Let me know if I am, and I'll punish myself appropriately.

I'm reasonably certain that all of Toledo is a bad neighborhood (and not because there's black folks there). Maybe she was just a self-loathing Toledian?

It was creative.

I've met some european Mexicans who definitely act aristrocratic towards native american Mexicans.

They worked for BIGLAW. Fucking lawyers.

Hmmm, I wonder if gwnc can detect the current semi-turgid state of my penis.

this was within months of Tom-Kat moving there, so I bet she was actually expecting an influx of tourists.

Yeah. There can be quite a tension between mestizos and rubios in Mexico. And Mexico is a very classist and racist place. I've been told that my grandfather married my grandmother in part because of her blue eyes and fair skin.

This guy wasn't Mexican.

In New Mexico, you'll hear a distinction between "Spanish" and "Mexican" and "Indian." There's an interesting tension between those groups (and of course, the Anglos).

My uncle, who is a pretty successful real estate agent in Chicago, and who is straight as the day is long, told me when he walks into a house that he can tell in an instant if it was lived in by a gay man or a gay male couple. If there is no hetereosexual male to influence, then the house is just better decorated, much more in style and he almost never has to hire a person to set up the house to show it.

By my tally, in only one day you have logged about 97 of the top 100 direct gay stereotypes or references to indirect gay stereotypes (such as above). Very impressive.

This is the closest one I've found.

If you'd like, I'm sure we would all be willing to put our quotations before the periods for you.

I have frequented that Tim Horton's a bunch of times. Right off 84, I think.

Rode right past it Monday and went to Taco Hell instead.
