Default Re: Political Correctness and Stereotyping

[ QUOTE ]
If I were to say that if a random male in America were to sleep with a random women, he would have the highest chance of contracting the HIV virus if the women was african american would this make me a racist?

What if I said that if someone hijacks a plane in america, they are more likely to be male than female, and of arab nationality.

What if Johny and Billy are twins and they both take a series of standardized tests, and Johny scores significantly higher than Billy on all of them. Can we conclude that Johny is better than Billy at standardized testing.

Or do we have to worry that someone's feelings will be hurt?

[/ QUOTE ] I don't spend a lot of time here so this is just an assumption, but hasn't this been covered?
