That phrase really is not racial today.

I’m just debating the term cotton picking and nobody appointed you the authority on what is racist.

Lots of cotton grown in west tn. Most of my west Tn friends have picked cotton at some point.

I have a solution.

In certain settings it is definitely racist.

Most people don’t care one way or the other.

Among friends it’s probably fine. I wouldn’t just randomly go up to black people and tell them that.

Ok problem solved.

Agreed. One would have to be thick in the head to do so.

How stupid do you got to be to use a phrase like that talking to a black guy on a National News show?

what phrase? what national show?

Are you drinking again?

Apparently you have forgotten what the thread was about. Thats ok Highjack… We know who you are.

Would that be the same as saying “no way Jose” to a Latino?

ummm… so you want back to the thread OP. Fine. I was having a conversation with some guy who wanted me to pretend that there are no white Hispanics.

or see ya later alligator to a Floridian? Or “that’s nobody’s business but the Turks” to a Greek.

Oh my. BRING ME MY SMELLING SALTS. I AM SO OUTRAGED. YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THOSE TURKS DID TO US.

Nope, not the same.

That would be pretty bad

What if his name really is José.?

Again, it’s not the same thing.

It would not be.

It’s nice to see you two coming together so nicely and sharing a joke based on a stereotypical characterization of the women of Medellin.

Unless his name was Jose, yes.
