Mmm... I don't think so. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 28/01/2010 03:37:41 AM
Saying that all pimps are black is misguided at best. There are plenty of white pimps in prominent modern culture who fit this stereotype (bling, fuzzy hat, dice on the rearview mirror). It's a professional stereotype, not a racial one.

I haven't seen Princess and the Frog yet, though I'm intending to. Any accurate portrayal of race in New Orleans would be almost incomprehensible to most people, though.

Which is why I didn't do anything other than point out that his comment was weird. Ghavrel - 28/01/2010 05:20:33 PM 471 Views
