“I have black friends,” or, “I have gay friends,” or, “most of my friends are women,”…

…and you just know the next thing they say is going to be hideous and bigoted…

…don’t you just want to punch something?

GOD YES.

This happens more…

I’ve just learned to stop listening whenever some bigoted asshole tries to use a phrase like this to claim that they’re not bigoted

I know I won’t be missing out on anything of worth by ignoring every word they say

Sorry but sometimes a person has a legitimate reason for saying “I have gay/black/etc friends”. For example, a girl I knew who was not physically attracted to black men was called racist by a black man who wanted to date her and she said she was sorry but she was not attracted to him and he accused her of racism. She pointed out the fact that her best friend is black and that she just wasn’t attracted to him. How is what she said bigoted? Should we be guilted into dating someone we are not attracted to simply because they belong to an oppressed minority?

Sorry, anyway….

My brain just snapped in a hundred directions.

I don’t understand how people can say their not attracted to certain races, im a black guy, and I think all women of all races or beautiful. Does that mean im attracted to every woman I see, no, but you would never catch me saying hispanic women or ugly, or, asian women or not attractive. Anyone who says there not attracted to a certain race, is a racist. If the girl above, said she was not attracted to a certain guy, thats her right, she does not have to date him, but to say their not attracted to people of a certain race is raciest.
