This is not a thread to put up racist jokes, or make racist remarks, but it is a thread to discuss assumptions that people make or think about, that could be racist. Whether it be the way somebody looks, how somebody talks, or even how somebody acts, we all have racist assumptions sooner or later. I've heard a lot of racist assumptions in my time and here are a list of them, if they offend anyone I apologize, I'm not judging people or trying to make people of other backgrounds and ethnicity feel bad, I'm just listing my observations

1. If you're tall and black, you should be good at basketball. I've heard this assumption more than once, people in general think tall black people are automatically good at basketball, is it racist? I'm not sure, but it seems like a race-like assumption to me.
2. White people can't rap because they're white. I've heard this one the most, rapping is not a type of skill that is limited to one ethnicity, I've heard rappers that were white that were very good, and I'm not talking solely about Eminem.
3. Black people are athletically superior to any other race. Alright, I understand that there are a lot of black athletes that are freakishly good at what they do: Udonis Bolt, Dwight Howard, Adrian Peterson, etc. but is it really valid to say that if you're black, you're automatically athletically superior to every other ethnicity? I would say no, because I've seen freakishly good athletes of every race as well, such as Brock Lesnar, Many Pachiaou, Dirk Nowitzki, etc.
4. White people don't have hops. This is absolutely false, my vertical is over 30 inches, and I'm white and I'm not even training to get a better vertical. A 30 inch vertical is better than a lot NBA players, you might be thinking, how can that be true? Well, some NBA players are so tall with their standing reach, that they don't even have to hardly jump to dunk.

Of course there are more assumptions, but I just thought i would share a couple that I've heard in my day.

Assumptions and stereotypes are two things in this world that will piss me off forever and always.

I'm offended when people just carelessly throw the word 'weeaboo' around when someone likes Japanese things. It's a racist word.

Whether it's based on gender, race, or sexuality.... stereotypes of any kind will always suck.

That screenshot is how I hope to be remembered. Also even positive racism is still racism.

Is there even such a thing?

Asians are good at math.

Thats positive racism.

stereotyping, but not racism.

Oh now lets not get into this argument. Stereotyping is a form of racism. Case closed.
