I can kind of get my head around someone who has been treated with outright prejudice all their life, based solely on the colour of their skin, taking a perverse pride in their colour as a reaction to that. So, I totally get the whole 'black is beautiful' sentiment as a part of the civil rights movement: after all, that was a response to vicious, legally sanctioned racism (Jim Crow). But pride in being white? What are you kicking against?

People telling you that you should feel bad about something someone else did. They need to shut-up and leave everyone alone.

Gentlemen please! This is supposed to be UNpopular opinions, and everyone agrees with what the two of you have said.

Similarly, the rate of employment among people from minority ethnic communities generally is much lower than among white people. This is particularly an issue among Asian women, among whom, in some cases, only around one third are in employment, compared to nearly 80% in the case of white women;

Some of that could be attributed to culture, couldn't it?

Kobe beef tastes weird.

Catherine Zeta-Jones can't act. And neither can Scarlett Johansson.

Multiple Personality Disorder is a crock.

Soccer sucks.

Prime Rib is the most disgusting meat on earth.

Adam Sandler is NOT funny. Neither is Will Farrel, or any of their genre.

We don't need to worry about Mexican immigrants; it's the Asians we need to keep our eye on.

But. But. But you quote SNL stuff all the time. How can you dismiss the entire genre?

Yes...good SNL, before a maybe funny for 2 minutes skit was stretched into 15 minutes of a fat guy running around, a woman sniffing her armpit...etc and so on.

imho, the last good SNL cast was the 1985-1989 cast. There were, of course, good people in subsequent casts but for the most part it got pretty stupid. I can't even watch the last few years' shows.

I guess genre wasn't the right word. I thought about stealing Bri's word "ilk" but didn't want to be a copycat! :p
