Is This Woman Racist?

[Wiglaf]

I met a girl who I love and enjoy in every way but that I think she is a bit of a racist. I cannot be sure because these quotes are obscure in their connotations, but she uses some of them frequently. Should I interrogate her for any of the below phrases (ie, are they racist or not) -

1. When listening to DMX on the radio:: That's really low-rent music.

2. When eating fried chicken at KFC:: All I need is some ribs and beer to wash this crap down. I had always thought KFC served ribs and so I let this slide, but I have recently learned that they do not.

3. When watching a trailer for 50 cent's new movie:: Ooga-booga.

4. When asked about the new Pope Benedict:: At least he's not some low-rent yokel. This I think is doubly racist but need some confirmation.

And then there's the little things - she likes country music and avoids dancing. I was wondering if any of the above phrases or behaviors rings a bell with your relationships.

No.
No. 3 is questionable, but I'm sure that you'll realise why when you get to know her better. It might just be something she says.

number 4 doesn't sound racist, maybe myopic or provential, but not racist, as far as i know yokel means something like hillbilly. Maybe it's a slur, but I haven't heard people use it in the same way as other racial slurs (and i've unfortunantly encountered far too many racist people in my life).

3 sounds far more racist than any of the rest to me

3 sounds dodgy. Everything else seems fine.

I wouldn't be worried. I mean these alone? Means nothing.

No! Unless he stays the course, the terrorists win!

#2 can also be a bit dogey too - ie, the sterotypical foods that blacks eat are fried chicken, collared greens, and ribs. She could be trying to say that she thought KFC was 'black food'.

she sounds more like she has a cob up her ass then a racist.

I agree, this is the best advice for the poor woman.

[Pekka]

and just to make this note, if some things I've said, even in the past month or week would be takne off and quoted here and you people wouldn't know me at all, I'd come out as the biggest d1ck on earth.

Well, factually that's true, I mean literally I'm hung like horse but.. I'd look like a moron for sures..

I agree.


She sounds like a Princess.

I second the exit strategy.

I wouldn't let it bother me if I were you; I mean, if all else works and you like her...

[mrmitchell]

Not racist...

People here seem to think every damn thing is racist....

Do you guys need an example? I don't think the site rules allow that....but loosen up
