Gronk...latest jerk gone public?

Umm...what? Chinese people (and other Asians and to some extent Africans) eat a lot of rice....cooked rice. Not fried.  And as far as I know, most people of all races like chicken...not just black people.  Stereotypes are stupid because they mostly rely on anecdotal evidence.  Even if all the Chinese people you meet like fried rice (which is a fallacy because most of the rice asians eat is not fried but cooked with a rice cooker or cooked normally), this does not mean every single Chinese person on this earth likes fried rice.

 

That type of thinking is dangerous.  It has nothing to do with self esteem.  Stereotypes are stupid as fug because they are based on faulty logic.  If you are ok with being stereotyped (not all stereotypes are good or ambiguous most are negative) that's your problem.  But don't imply that I have low self esteem or thin skin.  I just have a brain between my ears and choose to use it as often as possible....unlike people who rely on stereotypes to judge people before they meet them/get to know them.

 

By your logic all black people have giant penises, are lazy, prone to drug use and other criminal activity, freakishly athletic, and dumb.  Likewise, all asians are good at math and have small penises.  Please tell me right now any negative stereotype about white people?  Stereotypes are dumb dude.

 

I stay away from race threads, but sometimes I have to post...

my arguement is THE MAJORITY not ALL

 

saying all people like something would be retarded so you just wasted your time making that point

 

saying the majority which could be between 50 and 60% is more likely

 

so the majority of chinese people do eat fried rice. they cook it in a wok i know i love to cook and ive seen it. now is fried rice the only rice they eat

 

there have been scientific surveys that suggest the AVERAGE black person is bigger that the AVERAGE of any other race. NOT ALL

 

Your argument is stupid and leads to the type of thinking that strips certain groups of their humanity and perpetuates a cycle of hate and idiocy.  Even if you can find a factual basis in a stereotype you are still most likely going to draw an inaccurate conclusion based on that factual evidence.  I can also make a factually true statement like the world wide literacy rate for women is ~60-70%....ergo women are dumber than men.  That's not true, because it completely excludes outside factors like systemic oppression of women that denies them educational opportunities world wide.

 

For a long time, women were stereotyped as being worse at math than men.  There was 'scientific evidence' that proved that.  Now we know better.  Treat people as individuals and you will be better for it.

I actually think there are a fair amount of brainy guys in the NFL.

The meatheads just get more attention.

I guess it depends on what you call brainy.  Some people would say that hurling yourself at each other with a good chance you will end up physically damaged or brain injured in 20 years no matter what they pay you might not exactly be a smart choice.

Word on the street in Boston is that if you frequent the bars you'll occasionally come across Gronk and his meathead brother getting hammered.  When they want to take it to the next level the stand up and say "IT'S GRONK TIME" in unision while tearing their shirts off and pounding more shots.  So freakin cool man.

Using that logic, eating fast food isn't too bright either. You are paying someone to serve you food that if you make it a main staple in your diet, it will give you a plethora of health issues.

Exactly, it isn't that smart.  Why do we do it?  Speed, convenience, necessity, etc.  Not all of us make smart choices every day.  Doesn't stop us either.  It is just as more evidence continues to pile up about the long term effects of football concussions, it is even more of a problem.  

 

I have a 14 year old son who doesn't play football for that reason.  Truth is even playing soccer seems to be an issue.  He broke both his wrists last year, one in the fall and one in the spring.  A different one each time.  But knee injuries and concussions are frequent there as well.  The difference is that contact is not the point just often incidental to going for the ball.
