ORIGINAL: Tkman117 So saying that white men are most likely to vote a certain way is descrimination? Wow, yeah that's really discriminating. And any other statistic that looks at race and voting habits is also discriminatory? Even if it's true? Cmon man, you can't be this narrow minded on the subject of racism. What's a stereotype, TK? A stereotype, in and of itself, is racist (provided the stereotype is based on race). You identified the comment as a stereotype, didn't you? Oh... well... you see... Yup. I do see. Apparently, you don't. Lol, you're a dense one DS, it isn't racist...if it's true, right? You've reached yet another level of hypocrisy. Do you know what a stereotype is? Sure do, but some stereotypes are right, some are wrong. The fact that older white men tend to vote conservative isn't wrong, and is in this case a correct stereotype. I personally dislike stereotypes but I don't deny them when they're proven correct. It's also a stereotype that black people are more likely to be arrested. Is it true? Statistically yes. Do I dislike the stereotype? Sure, but I dont deny it's truth because I don't like it. Now if the reason was BECAUSE they were black, then yes that's racist, but it's also a matter of opinion and isn't included in the statistic. The statistics show that older white men tend to vote conservative. Is it because they're white? No, of course not, there are a lot of factors that play into it, such as their upbringing and personal history. Older white men have a tendency to be more religious, be more dominant towards women, anti-gay, among other qualities. This isn't because they're white, after all, correlation does not equal causation. To assume that their voting habits is caused by their skin colour is racist, to point out the correlation between voting habits and race isn't.
