Dumbest attempted angleshot ever at Hollywood Park

[theted]

Being from the south I hear racist comments all the time. A lot of times if a person is referred to as "black", "asian" or "mexican" - whatever, it is 75% of the time, IMO, just a reference to the person, and not a sterotypical or degrading comment about their race. Somebody might describe me as the "short, fat, bald guy" - because, I am. Should I be able to be offended by that? YES. Can I with the double standard in place today where racism is concerned? NO. You can use these references about me and the guy next to me wouldn't think I should be offended. If I was black and they said the "fat black guy", calling me fat is ok, calling me black is wrong. Before you say I can go on a diet you are born black, that is just an example, because I am short and bald also and that is how I was born. ( For the record, I am not bothered by these comments about my physical appearance.)

I have been in games where I have said afterwards that "those 2 college punks were playing together". Am I speaking down on college students? No. Am I classifying them in a certain demographic? Yes.

Yes. I think the poster should have rethought what he said before he posted and he did cross the line but people are too sensitive to take things out of context. I see no one complaining that is was OLD black men he was referring to. Where is the AARP when you need them?
