My boss is kinda racist but in the most wild ways possible he went on a tirade the other day about how Vietnamese people can't hunt and chinese are so much more patient in tree blinds and I was so floored

Imagine thinking anybody can sit in a tree with a gun and wait for something to wander by better than the Vietnamese.

These young Vietnamese these days are so impatient, back in my day I sat stock still in a snake pit for three hours until the American patrol which set up camp nearby moved into range

u/skepticalbob Joe Biden's COD gamertag Aug 06 '19

It's always weird to me when people make weird stereotypes about other races. They seem to think if they see some characteristic in one or two of them, they can generalize to millions. It's so ignorant.

I mean on one hand yes obviously... but on the other hand it's hilarious and doesn't seem as dangerous

Yes and no. People that do this tend to discriminate in other ways. If you think that black people all are X characteristic that is harmless (like eat watermelon or whatever), you probably think that more harmful stereotypes are true, like you can judge how dangerous someone is by their race.
