Something like, "do you think men are rapists?"

And 70% of feminists answered "yes"? Then yes, I see no problem with a newspaper or whatever publishing the result - this would only be problematic if the newspaper fabricated the results or did something like only poll women who were serving prison sentences for murdering their pimps or whatever

Angry at all blacks is prejudice. It's an incorrect belief, in this case do to an event that caused an emotional response. Racism has to cause hardship towards a race otherwise you diminish what it actually is.

1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2: racial prejudice or discrimination

Do you know how many different opinions feminists have about what rape is? Also, the question is not "are all men rapists."

The key word there is "superiority." A superior person deserves better jobs etc.... You can be prejudice of a race and still believe that all people are equal in the sense that they deserve equal opportunity and rights.

A dictionary definition is short. It's up to you to understand what they mean.

(BK clean out your box.)

I answered your question and then you replied with what appeared to be a non sequitur

Also, why did you leave this out ....


poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race

: the belief that some races of people are better than others

I just didn't put 2 and 2 together for you. If you asked feminists "are men rapists" and 70% respond positive, does everyone in that group think all men brutally rape women? If you report that and don't tell the whole story, then you are misleading the public.

Again you appear to not understand how a dictionary works.

If you asked feminists "are men rapists" and 70% responded positive then why the hell shouldn't they report that 70% responded positive? Are they supposed to say some **** like "even though 70% responded positive this doesn't necessarily mean that they understood the question blah blah blah"? Good god, you're an even bigger politically correct ***** than MrFun.

If you don't want the media reporting that you gave a stupid answer to a poll then don't give a stupid answer to a poll, it's not rocket science.
