I understand some of you find it hard to grasp...But I know it when I see it. Maybe he wasn't being racially slick...maybe he was just being insensitive.
But my question is, would he have said the same thing to someone who looked just like him? Probably not. So why say it to me?
YES he probably would have....it's called "POLITE CONVERSATION". it's one of the social graces that seperates us from the animals.....
So you think being dark-skinned supposed to turn me on? I happen to be a redbone, sweetheart...
Isn't a redbone a super hot light skinned black girl? And a dark skinned man isn't good enough for you?
You have got to be one of the most conceited people on this forum. Not just from this statement...I've read your other posts. You got all into a huff and crashed your car cuz some guy didn't like you. LMAO.
BTW, I've SEEN Dorrans pic (his real one). I think you'd be singing a different tune if you had too.
Obviously I've no idea what it's like to be black.
However, I do have an idea what it's like to be Scottish.
Everywhere we go, people expect us to be ginger haired, whisky drinking, tight fisted men.
Obviously, we are all name "Jimmy", or "jock".
Our favourite phrase is "och aye the noo!"
We all love a fight.
We all wear kilts all the time, and eat lots of haggis.
We have a certain reputation.
If I'd had $1 for every time somebody's made a statement to me, which could be considered "racist", I'd never need work again.
Yes, there are times when it's annoying, but you just gotta grin and bear it!
You gotta soak it up, and take it on the chin.
Trouble is, nobody laughs at themselves any more.
The whole world is over sensitive to criticism.
I think those are stereotypes...but I like me some gingers and that accent is just so sexy...
And I thought the whiskey drinking and fighting was for the Irish?
But yes..I laugh at myself and it doesn't hurt that I'm Asian, so I can play the "reverse" race card to anyone who accused me of being racist...

They are, but it's what people base their impressions on.
Those are the jokes you're gonna hear, and all the Scottish characters from TV and movies will be reeled out !
look at the stereotypes of blacks, chinese, mexicans, French, or Italians, and that's what people judge them by.

We make Scotch whisky. Note, with no "e".
Anything made outside Scotland can't be called Scotch.
Yes, the Irish also have that stereotype, but they are maybe more associated with Guiness.
The stereotype is that our country is prety much fuelled by it !

Sounds fun! I'm actually planning a 3 or 4 country backpack pub tour with me and a couple buddies and we have Scotland and Ireland on our list. I'll be sure remember this conversation when making my judgements.
They do a thing here called "the whisky tour".
You can visit the various distilleries, see how the stuff is made, and sample it.
I gather some of them let you sample the cask strength firewater !!
If you like, PM me nearer the time, and I can get details.

Actually, I thought the ginger hair was Irish.. I prefer dark hair myself though, never went in for the ginger.
