Everyone's A Racist?

[logansrogue]

Was reading that little argument here. I've heard that one a lot from people who are accused of being racist.

Now, I have a really hard time with that argument. Cause I honestly don't think I'm racist. I'm definitely ignorant of some cultures, but I'm very eager to learn about other people's ways of doing things, I find it all very enriching and wonderful. I may have certain prejudices, but they're most certainly not based on race.

So what do you think about that argument? I'd like to know.

So I take it he used the name "Pablo" before?

Doesn't change how he's the sort of whiny asshole customer retails sorts love to give bad service because they fail at basic social skills are transparently condescending. You can tell these sorts are mentally calling you names (such as "Pablo", or "peon" if you're not a minority) and you delight in giving them the shitty service he deserves.

I've never had problems with service at Best Buy. But then I'm not a bottom dwelling gamer shithead.

Here's what I wish I could have posted:

Ah, so you're one of those "everybody does it" excuse makers. Everybody poos as well, but most realize you're not supposed to crap your pants in public. Many learn to recognize it an cope.

Y'know whom I'm racist against - entitled shithead gamers lacking in social skills who spout bigoted epithets when they get the bad service they deserve.

This person is the whiny asshole customer retails sorts loathe, openly condescending and impatient from the get go and put upon if they don't get their greedy baby needs met from moment one.

You can tell these sorts are mentally calling you names ("Pablo" or other racist crap if you're a minority, "peon" if you're not)and you delight in denying them service.

I know, I know. It was so painful reading that, I was really mad. It was patently unneccessary, you know?

We don't have Best Buy in my area (possibly not even my country) so I have no idea about their quality of service! :T
