| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: NY | | | I'm not going to get into it too much. I thought it was amusing that somebody specifically requested an "African American" bassist. Not "Black" mind you, but specifically African American. This says to me that they are likely of Caucasian decent, and are using the term "African American" at an attempt to not act racist, yet still look for a bassist that has "funk and soul groove"....So I guess you have to be "African American" to have "funk and soul groove"....
For the record, I might have been a little offended that this particular band probably feels that an "African Amercian" would give them what they are looking for, probably only specifically speaking in "looks", when there are likely just as many competent white funk bassists out there. But for the most part, I just found this whole exchange to be very humorous. |

When I first saw this ad, and then saw the responding ad, I couldn't help but just laugh. |

Company looking for people who like to work outside and have low wage requirements. Energy and attitude will complete our dream.
Would you think an add like this would be considered racist?
What's the difference?
