I don't care if you think this is racist. I'm not a racist.
It's been my experience with the ever-progressing PC nature of our culture today, that Caucasian males are the most popular-culturally suppressed.
Think about it.
White men get made fun of all the time…stereotypes like…
We can't dance
We speak like news anchors
We have low personal hygiene standards, etc. etc. etc.
But do we challenge it? No, generally not. White guys laugh at jokes about White Guys. Isn't that somewhat strange? I mean, if a guy calls me a honky or a cracker, the last thing I consider is “YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE, YOU'RE TRYING TO INSULT ME! OMG I'M GOING TO SUE YOU!”
I realized this today when I saw that Red Stripe commercial that goes “Red Stripe and Reggae – helping our white friends dance for over 70 years.”
I got to thinking that, what if…let's just say…a white guy was saying things, and he said somehing like these examples:
“Red Stripe – helping our black friends fuck white chicks for over 70 years.”or
“Red Stripe – helping our Asian friends seem more personable for over 70 years.”or
“Red Stripe – helping our Female friends spread their legs for over 70 years.”
It's true! Beer helps everybody get laid…beer makes everybody more personable…
Granted, even the white stereotype is correct…beer DOES make everybody slightly more rhythmic…but why does that joke seem much less threatening than the ‘jokes'I've provided here?
Well, I'm not really sure…I think it's simply the fact that that's how we're conditioned or perhaps that most of society believes that growing up White and Male makes life somewhat easier. It doesn't, obviously, life sucks for everybody…it's just societal perception…
Strange, though.
Either way, I realize this is a SUPPOSEDLY a comedy blog and shit..but I pride myself on having some of the smartest readers on the net; so, I'd like to get other's opinions on this subject.
If you're a minority, that'd be helpful too.
Thanks y'all.
