Americans.........

[Machiavelli]

A good bit of borderline racism in this thread as many of the words/sayings and actions (men hugging hello and high fives for example) you so detest originated in the black/African American community.

Haha really?

Not really. The thread was talking about Americans and the prevalence of men hugging, especially with the clapping on the back comes from the African American community for Americans. Had the thread been discussing that subject for Ireland, Scotland, parts of Portugal, etc I could see your point. If you need me to walk you through some other examples I could do that.

It was a decent effort on your part though.

What about the Irish American community then?

Why not? Members here often think everything else is racist.

How can it be racist to laugh at words like 'eggplant' and 'restroom'?
Sounds like you've got an axe to grind so night night.

I am assuming your exposure to Irish Americans is rather limited. I don't typically see non related men hugging hello. There probably are some that do it but I'd say it is limited.

Nice try though.

I wasn't talking about eggplant or restroom. I didn't say everythjng being laughed about mate.

No axe to grind. Unfortunately, saying something here someone disagrees with can upset them. I would guess maybe you've noticed maybe not. Enjoy your evening
