It's been a long time since I (and Lissy, pauuure) have posted on this god-forsaken blog that is ridden with 'apparent' racism and injustice. But we don't mean any malicious harm to any types of race, we are just trying to lighten up everybody's mood!
It's not racist to pretend to talk like a black person, of course it is stereotypical to generalise black people's accents and behaviour but these things happen every day and you just have to deal with it - we put up with people attempting to copy our accents here in Britain! And they are way off the mark, not all of us are aristocratic or upperclass if you hadn't noticed - and even i just made a generalisation that upper class people have those accents which they don't necessarily have! But we couldn't care less that people do that, we laugh, and get the hell over it as there are more pressing matters for us to be worrying about.
The point I am making is that stereotypes, prejudice, generalisation all happen, and as long as people do not incorporate discrimination or have the intention to hurt somebody, where exactly is the problem. Go hear some real bad news, cos harmless and innocent stereotypes ain't worthy of being called that. Go read about the Israeli-Palestine conflict, the Gulf War, the Iraq War, the recent Japanese Earthquake because that's when you have something worthy to get upset about.
