lol you're calling skin color a stereotype?

Did you miss the rest of the stereotype we are discussing?  There is male and there is gruff.  It's the whole package.  Not the individual pieces.

Maybe he disagrees with what he hears? 

No, he's completely stopped listening.  The stereotype...cliche or trope here, has 3 components.  Race, sex, and voice (or demeanor).  Combined, not individually, but combined, they are considered an overused character type.  o_O.Q is trying to focus solely on one element.  One facet by itself is irrelevant and is not an issue at all.  It's when all 3 are combined in to a character that it gets used too much and is becoming boring.

look i understand his perspective and its not coherent you cannot reduce the perceived emphasis on race by concentrating on race even more, that's just illogical

you can't in one instance claim its wrong to use race as a weapon to disenfranchise a particular group of people then turn around and use it yourself as a weapon

for one thing its hypocritical but most importantly all you are going to achieve is to encourage the other side to be resentful and vengeful

Actually, you are the one reducing the issue and concentrating on race.  We are going in the opposite direction.  It's a combination of many things, not race by itself.

You are so focused on just race that you can't see the bigger discussion.  Or you do understand it but you just want to stir things up....which I'm starting to believe is the case completely. In fact...that's my call now.  You can't be so dense as to not understand that the issue is the combined character type so I believe you are only in this discussion to stir the pot.  Otherwise. the corollary means....

ok i'll reiterate once more, if this guy was asian no one would care... why is that?
