i disagree with this video and in fact i think it is promoting racism.

I'm white, why should i care?

@deadt0m

The bad writing comes from people who understand things through a stereotype rather than understanding the stereotype as a trait.

In other words it is racism and that's regardless of how many times you dissect it.

Otherwise I agree with what you were saying =).

I'll watch the video now though.

@OP Yea, you posted this at a bad time for me because I didn't see this till just now.

I think I'm going to show this to my sociologist girlfriend. I'm guessing she would think this is dead on correct.

Fixed.

So some guy on the internet is going to tell me what my girlfriend went to college for?

Or are you just trying to decredit the "soft" sciences as a whole (most likely because you don't agree with their conclusions)?

It would be impossible for me discredit the "soft sciences" because I don't agree with their conclusions, because they have yet to reach anything resembling a consensus on any issue to date.  Sociology is not a science, soft or otherwise, because there is no scientific method, no factual data, no uniformity of procedure, and no consistency of practice.

Edit:  I'd be glad to continue this on AIM or in private messages, didn't mean to threadjack.

You have just made it abundantly clear that you have no understanding of sociology, or its methods.

Like I said in my edit, which wasn't fast enough apparently, feel free to send me a message, IM, or wall post, I don't wanna hijack the OP's thread.

This guy's overrated in my eyes, just another retro-phile who pines for the good old days when only Nintendo and Sega existed and bemoans anything and everything new that doesn't have mario on it.
