OT - Jive ass anchors... 6-Jun-2013 At 11:16:21 AM Reluctant

Message

I must stop talking slow and finishing my sentences with "a" because of my casual racism to Queenslanders.
The assumption that jive was only a black thing is "presumptive racism". To assume someone using rappers (in a current reference) as a joke with bling, grills, hats, ho's etc, is being racist is to forget , ignore, or be preconditioned to place a particular race as the object of ridicule. This has more to do with the observer than the " humorist".

Don't forget in flying high the end result with the wasp grandma.

Coming from a family with a diverse collection ( aus, German, Thai, Sri Lankan, swede) I have come to know that those who skirt the issues and choose their words most carefully are the ones with the most entrenched preconceptions.
