that is one of THE dumbest things i have ever read.
take this "extreme" example, which i admit is both impractical and unrealistic, but nonetheless proves my point:
1. a person is beaten into a bloody pulp by a group of "ethnic" men, because they wanted to stealy my ipod.
2. a person is beaten into a bloody pulp by a particular religious sect who wanted to tell me about their religion and how their saviour could lead to my redemption and forgiveness of sins (or, if it makes it easier, because they wanted to steal my ipod).
in both scenarios that person has been attacked without provocation by particular groups of people. using your reasoning, i couldnt generalise about that ethnic community, but i could generalise about the religious sect. how the fuck is that at all fair?
racism is overrated. its no worse than religious persecution, attacking political views, sexuality etc. yet you would be more than happy to buy a cd of a band that calls people "faggots", writes about the destruction of christianity OR writes about perceived political injustice.
perhaps you should listen to less HYPORCISY susperia ...
as far as the argument about cd purchase goes - i would have thought most cds were purchased on consignment in line with how retailers tend to operate, which would more likely make susperia right, but then again, i dont own a record store, so i dont know.
