Should we post Race next to Age?

[bigneil]

I'm sorry but if one more person posts a photo of an Asian girl I'm going to break something.

Only 1 in 20 Americans is Asian yet at least half the photos posted here are of Asian women (ten times their fair share). I wouldn't mind if the person would state at some point in their numerous references that the "hot babe" they are talking about is one of the 5 percentile (something 95% unlikely).

So I'm wondering if people would like to see race next to the user profile.

And do know that "racist" means discriminating against race, not denoting race, and I live in a city that is only 30% white.

Nope. I can pretty much tell the race of most people on this board: A bunch of white guys, a few black guys, and sprinkles of all other minorities. Besides, we're all the same race: Human

False we are not All one race, we are one species.

Your political correctness is a catastrophic failure.

It would make communications much more effective as much as age but they will never allow anything like that, no matter how it would make it easier to understand and give suggestions.

A white guy approaching a white girl in a majority white country would face complete different conditions than a black guy approching that same girl as much as a white guy chasing girls in a rap club would face different conditions than a black guy.
Not so much because of himself but mostly because of the surrounding environment and people.

Sincerly I dont know if we are the same race,the same species or whatever but I can easily tell the difference between a white and a black so can everybody else (apart color blinds) as long as they are not some white suckers trying to win the PC contest.

The average girl acts different according to who you are and I think most of us here are looking to score that chick not to hear how similar we are.
Some girls would never go with minorities while others would give them a shortcut, we simply cannot ignore such facts to feel more "polite".

My opinion is that race threads should not be deleted or locked, its simply stupid to do such thing in a forum where most of users are clever guys aware of social conventions which could
benefit from some honest truth and good suggestions.

The discussions were fine a few years ago, but as the site drew more members, we got more trolls.

And next thing you know, the respected members are flinging racial slurs at trolls (who only came here to start an argument anyway), so then you'd have respected members making an azz of themselves, and trolls getting to have some trollish fun.

Yeah, I'd love to think of us as "clever guys benefiting from honest truth and suggestions", but it's just not the case. Especially on the internet, where everyone is 100x bolder than they'd be in real life.

Homo sapiens are a species of mammal, not a race.

It can be argued that different 'races' can actually be categorized as different sub-species, based on classification of other creatures.



do you want our blood type posted too?

Oh man! I could only wish that people had their blood group tattooed on their foreheads. Fortunately, one's background can be fairly well determined by dispassionate observation of physical features.

Really, there's no such thing as race. It's a misnomer. What we mean by "race" or "ethnicity" is what part(s) of the world did your ancestors come from.
