i was tempted to put a deliberate spelling mistake on there but that was a genuine typo
it must be some unwritten law of the internet that if someone corrects someone else's spelling they have to fuck up somewhere in their post

This whole thread is way past your head. Your missing the point entirely. And I question the validity of your argument, because your spelling seems to be on par with lyons238. This isn't about active discrimination.
I guess I'm missing the point too...
Would you care to let the rest of us in on it? Since when does identifying race make you racist?
Since when did I call him a racist?
There's a difference between calling someone a racist directly, and implying what he wrote is tinged with racist sentiment.
Read through my previous posts, if you still don't get it then..I can't really help you.
Going to illustrate another point to you.
If they were all white your roommates, his friends etc, I'm positive you wouldn't have mentioned their race, you would've just kept it at ''roommates''. But because they were black/hispanic, you decided to mention it, under the cover of ''illustrating your story''. C'mon now. Do you get it?
Alright I think that's it, you can have your thread back now.
Racism can be overt, and it can also be subtle and nuanced.
This wasn't a joke, and there was no reason to mention any races involved. A shit roommate is a shit roommate, but he still felt the need to add that race factor and feed into obvious stereotypes, ex. loud, obnoxious, ignorant minorities.
Read between the lines.

Race had to included in the original post, it set the scene much better.. If he had left the race bit out, then people would simply assume that he was just a social retard that couldn't get on with other white boys and girls.
Anyone might find it difficult to mingle and get along with a group of people whos language you don't speak and have different cultural ideologies..

there's a difference man
read his posts after
he was jumped on pretty early, because people smelled some bullshit
he was called out, and fell exactly into the description people had of him already
the guys in america, at university, im prettu sure his roomates can speak english, its just a case of one night not being so uptight and put out by the fact you have some black and spanish dudes living in your place and goin and playing some cards with them and getting drunk
thats generally how ice is broken, if you dont you're just an uptight neek who's too scared by big black/hispanics to leave your own room in your own house

It's all about your own room, never know who could be lurking in the shadows.

Room mate in America generally means the same as flat mate does over here.
OP wasn't suggesting he was curled up in the foetal position under a duvet in one corner of the room sobbing whilst minorities drink and gamble the night away.

Yeah you're right missing one letter from one word completely invalidates my argument. I'm really sorry I'm not as smart as you.

i said their race to paint a better picture get over it lol. i am stereotypical but when i get put with room mates like these it does not help their case!!
Where do you even start with this!
lol I know this is as good as admitting that a couple of room-mates automatically colours the way this kid looks at a whole race of people
so far we've had:
I'm not racist, Im stereotypical
I'm not racist, you should see my Dad, he's racist
and my room mates are spanish and black and also stnuc which doesn't help 'their case'

Phone strippers next time they're in the house, and quietly leave.
Nothing worse to deal with other than an angry stripper who has traveled so far to not get paid.

Are they Spanish or Mexican? Or does the word 'spic' apply to Spanish people as well? Soz, I'm not down with the racist lingo!
