PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

74. "RE: Ty: Zero Charisma, Lots of Teet..." |
I can understand why you'd be upset because he is making a gross generalization about north americans but while it is wrong to say we are NOTHING BUT racists, as a group, we are racists (along with lots of other things.) Look at how our GOVERNMENT responded to New Orleans. We're not only racist, we're classist, sexist and ageist. We have to own that. We have to know it still plays a part in decisions made in this land. Not every individual in this country is, but as a society, we certainly are. How many non-whites are on the major TV networks? How come men get to be fat & bald and still be leading men but women have to be young & pretty? My point is, I think he does know what he's talking about in that he has experienced racism. No, he doesn't know everyone here. I'm not sure if I'd even know what "most Americans" think. Being liberal myself, I'd like to think they are not overtly racist and certainly the people in my life aren't, but there's a lot of this country I don't know.
