I'm just stereotyping.

Let's use your definition.

Things that are no longer racist:

Arizona Immigration Laws!
Eminem!
Pretty much any war that is happening anywhere.
The phrase, "I wish I could leave my car unlocked, but everybody knows that sand-niggers like to steal your radio and give it to the chinks so that they can do calculations for the Towel-Heads, whom Allah has commanded to bomb us to Spic Heaven".

I think you got your point across with simply "Pretty much any war that is happening anywhere."

Ah, but then when would I have introduced my hilarious image of mustachio'd God wearing a sombrero?

I'm not sure where you did that, but I like the mental image.

This conversation has brought to mind this hilarious quote I heard some dude say on some TLC show years back.
"I'm not racist against white people, I'm racist for black people."

Huh, I haven't made a serious post in here yet.

By reading the gun control thread and thinking about it for a while, I became pro-gun. The most convincing argument for that side to me was that crime rates do not go up when more people have guns, because most criminals don't want to get in a firefight.

For my American Government class, I have to do a 2,000-page report on any controversial topic relating to American government (which is due... tomorrow. crraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppppp). I chose drug legalization, and the more research I do, the more convinced I am that A) "soft" drugs like marijuana should be legalized but regulated similar to alcohol, and B) the punishment for possession of illegal drugs should be greatly reduced. My county actually recently released a bunch of people, even felons, from prison with no bail because the prisons are overcrowded.

I also had to see a play for another college course, and I actually had fun. Thus, I changed my mind and decided that live theater doesn't suck. In fact, I enjoy it more than movies :o

I'm really hoping you meant 2000 word report. Otherwise I feel for you.

Yeah. I made that mistake in like 3 irc channels as well.

2000 words is still a lot :(
