Micro-compliments

[Powerogue]

So is the thread about watermelons or micro-compliments? I'm lost .

Compliments it is I suppose. I like your username, Thunderaan was an awesome boss.

I don't terribly mind the stereotypes, they're a source of good jokes and none of my acquaintances takes them seriously. I don't mind at all being related to the Colombian stereotype. In a sense, one might even take advantage of the stereotype: by debunking it with acts, one can make a better image of oneself without putting that much effort into it. At least that's what I've seen from personal experience.

How about it liberals, can we have some micro-compliments and less micro-aggressions?

But what has this all to do with liberals?

As someone who isn't a black person, but prefers chicken to other meat and loves watermelons, I'm not sure how to feel about this.

I guess black people have a great taste in food? Is this considered a "good stereotype" then?

but the peas are terrible.

WHAT!?!?!?!

You must have eaten at a really bad restaurant for them to mess up black eyed peas.

Okay, personally I don't get why the watermelon chicken eating black is somehow a negative stereotype. (Well okay that's a lie, I do know why, but I think it's a stupid reason made by cry-baby SJWs.)

Watermelon: Health Benefits and Nutritional Information

I would love to eat more watermelons but personally I don't particularly enjoy watermelons. I just can't get used to the taste easily. I envy people who can eat a lot of watermelons because they'll probably be more healthy than me (also garlic, now that I REALLY can't stand, I have 0 tolerance for that taste). How about it liberals, can we have some micro-compliments and less micro-aggressions?

It was offensive way before the "cry-baby SJWs", label even existed.

Pretty sure every stereotype (assuming it isnt a flat out lie) is a generalisation, and diminishes people to a caricature, highlighting only the most noticable features of the group. Even positive stereotypes, like asians being very smart, are damaging. Im not really sure what you mean with micro-compliments, but compliment people on who they are, not on generalisations based on a small part of them.

I find it silly to ignore stereotypes, I think it's just smart if you don't base your final judgement on something as silly.

So in micro amounts and in a moderately secure environment with good friends they know well?

Or something got lost in translation...

Like the chicken has LSD on it. Sort of a futurama joke but it was prob a thing before that.
