"Macho-ness"

[scorpionldr]

Since when was guido a race?

Guidos, AFAIK, are those tool-bags who exhibit those qualities listed above.

I lived with a guido for a semester. Horrifying. Simply horrifying. and LAME. lol that's like almost half the population of white dudes at my school. The other half are the emos..

Saw it.

Although you made mention that it applied to "any race", your description pretty much solidly fit a particularily annoying subset of white males. Surely you can see how it would look if someone else casually explained that, where they are from, it's OK to refer to a subset of annoying people from a particular race (this one without the orange tan, propped up collars and greasy spiked hair) by a derogatory term. Add to this your previous posts/threads, some of them quite heated, about race and stereotypes, and you should see where I'm headed.

I'm not much for apologies but here goes: Sorry, I find this funny on a few levels.

Are you implying that you, as a white male, am offended by the term "guido"? (or, rather, what you're really doing is borderline personally attacking me, nice efforts at tiptoeing around the TB rules).

If you want to go that route, fine. But notice that you mention a SUBSET of "white males". The stereotypes that I usually speak out against paint an ENTIRE race of people as "this or that". I'll throw one out there: ever heard of the "Ricer" stereotype? Originally it was coined to refer to a subset of Asian males (with similar personality characteristics as the "guidos") who would install huge spoilers and "NOS" stickers on their stock import cars that had no performance mods and think that they were all that. THAT is more of a fair analogy. I am not saying things like "all white males are _____" as opposed to all those who say "well all Asians are ______".

Get it?

Or, as you so cleverly put it to me before, can we not see the forest through the trees?

He's implying you should grow a pair already.

I was going to point this out, too. It's already been done, but it bears repeating. I might even +1 it again later in this thread or another.

Here, I'll save you time.
