Yes. So is stating the fact that a Polish submarine would immediately sink - due to the screen door they'd put on the entrance.

For reasons unbeknown to mean, society has decided there is a difference between "Race" and "National Origin." When there is conflict, Race applies to whites doing something negative to *insert current politically correct term for someone with skin darker than mine.*

It is the same with Sexism. If two people are equally qualified for a job - a man and a woman, and the man gets the job, sexism must've played a role. Now, that man is more qualified for the job but the woman gets it, it's empowering to woman.

Quite frankly, I think it's all a bunch of hogwash.

Big difference between your example and mine though... am stating that a particulare ethnic group enjoys a specific food (not racist), your example dwells upon a negative sterotype of a particular ethnic group...I love food, what's so bad about saying someone like some specific food?

Actually, there is no difference at all. Any assumption made on the basis of a person's race is technically racist. So where is the line to be drawn? And who's allowed to draw that line?

OK....well I am quite perplexed by the whole thing, the line is drawn wherever the people with darker skin than myself say it is to be drawn...
