Assertion in response to Nate’s assertion on Vespa scooter. (Humorous but serious).
I hate Vespas, and I do love Lamborghinis. In fact in the video game Grand Theft Auto 4, I make a point of hitting people on Vespas with my Lamborgini. This is a complete misrepresentation of white people as a whole. Most people I know would probably beat me up if I started saying that I wanted a Vespa scooter. This article is encouraging racial stereotypes. What if I were to say that all black people like fried chicken? First of all, this is not a good example because EVERYONE loves fried chicken. Second of all, I would be labeled a racist and shunned from academic conversation. This website as a whole is encouraging racial tension even if it is supposed to be humorous. Humor is only real if everyone is laughing; I am offended. Not only is this site questioning my masculinity, it is questioning my taste and that is unacceptable.
