xcoderx Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Btw am not talking just like that but with experience. My fiance is american me an asian. I've met an Indian who is stupid, you are an Indian, therefore you are stupid. Same kind of logic, so would you agree with my conclusion? nope coz 1. Bcoz the example is very racist. 2. Indians arent stupid if that were true why most of the employees at nasa, microsoft, ibm etc etc are indians? 3. I love my fiance i was talkn what i have read and seen conducted researches wise. My fiance aint like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Indians arent stupid if that were true why most of the employees at nasa, microsoft, ibm etc etc are indians? I think you need to take a course on logic. That's a crap argument. That there is a majority of X kind of people in Y, and there are some clever people in Y does not automatically mean that the aforementioned X are also generally clever. In fact, X may be incredibly stupid, or really smart or something else. The only thing you can tell about X is that there are a lot of them at Y. For all I know, the Indians could have the low level, entry jobs while all the higher positions are occupied by other kinds of people. The point in my previous post was of course that you cannot conclude something based on only one or a few observations. That is a common logical fallacy known as a "hasty generalization".

.josh Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 nope coz 1. Bcoz the example is very racist. ... and saying all western women are xyz isn't?

.josh Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 "american" has been used instead of "western" in this thread several times (not just by me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Wow, I was gone one day and this thread came up. What the hell? Anyway, my two cents: As everyone has basically come to agree (at least fro most of the responses I have read), Asian women are not inherently evil .

nrg_alpha Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 "american" has been used instead of "western" in this thread several times (not just by me). I guess if 'western' = USA, then Canadian, Mexican and Brazilian women for example are not evil then, as they do not fit into the 'western' definition.

.josh Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 well your alternative is to lump them all into one category which IMO is kind of just as bad, considering (again, IMO) they are all different cultures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcoderx Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 For all I know, the Indians could have the low level, entry jobs while all the higher positions are occupied by other kinds of people. oh please are u serious about that? Well then wonda why my cousins in usa has high level job. Works for nasa oh my bro in law is an astronaut btw works for ur nasa and had been to the ISS 2 times already and again assigned by nasa for another 1 next 2010 october. And i wonda why am arguing over indian issue. Am an indian by accident but an assamese by blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcoderx Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 you're brother-in-law the astronaut, eh. what eh? U think am lying or something? Oh and by bro in law i dont mean my own sis husband but am talking abt my cousins in usa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 ah okay I get it. So when you say he's your bro-in-law, you really meant he's your cousin, eh? You know, I'm just gonna throw this out there... maybe your cousins in the usa are really, oh I don't know..janitors or something? Work in the lobby souvenir flower shop? Lawnmowers? I'm just wondering, because I know if it were me going to another country, and I got a job at something like nasa, I think it'd be funny to write home and tell my cousin I was an astronaut. Then I could be like "Haha, I fooled you!" Or maybe keep it going as long as possible because I'm too embarrassed to say I sell rocket ship snow globes to whiny brats all day...whatever the case may be. Just sayin', that's what I'd do. I could understand if someone else did that to. Right on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Also, as mentioned earlier one person from an ethnic group being an astronaut does not mean that one can conclude that everyone from that specific group is suited to be an astronaut.

corbin Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I think who ever first made the Indian comment was kidding, or more specifically providing an example to debunk your "hasty generalizations" logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerny Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 My girlfriend of about 2 years is Asian. She's not "my asian girlfriend" to me, she's my girlfriend [period] Kind of like democrats painting Obama as the "black president" of the USA and if you disagree with him you must be racist... there is no such title as the black president of the usa, obama is the president of the usa and people should be able to disagree with him the same way they were able to disagree with every other president. I think it is very superficial to say "I'm going to get an asian wife" or whatever... you are going to base who you want to spend your life with based on their nationality? Seriously?

corbin Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 xcoderx, it seems like you are following a bit of a double standard here. It's ok to stereotype Asian and "western" women, but Indians, oh that's a line you just can't cross? When Daniel0 originally insulted Indians, it was to prove a point. I'm not sure if he does or does not think that Indians in general are less intelligent than people of other races (not exactly being the ignorant type, I would assume Daniel0 recognizes that people of all calibers of intelligence exist in all groups), and whether he thinks so or not cannot be concluded from that statement. He was simply rewording what you were saying about Asian/Western women in an attempt to show you what you were doing; I don't think he meant any harm. Blerh, I shouldn't even be typing this since I don't think your issue is with me lol. *Goes back to minding his own business* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Oh seriously come on, xcoderx. Look up what "reading comprehension" means and get some skills in that. Nobody insulted anything Indian here. It's just you who are making up shit. I said that IF your logic was correct THEN I would be able to conclude that all Indians are stupid. However, your logic is NOT correct so I haven't said anything about Indians at all. My point is that using hasty generalization, you can conclude ANYTHING. So get some skills in logic/argumentation as well. By the way, my father can beat your father, and in a parallel universe my uncle is king of the world. When Daniel0 originally insulted Indians, it was to prove a point. I'm not sure if he does or does not think that Indians in general are less intelligent than people of other races (not exactly being the ignorant type, I would assume Daniel0 recognizes that people of all calibers of intelligence exist in all groups), and whether he thinks so or not cannot be concluded from that statement. Yeah, all I did was to apply xcoderx' faulty logic on things I knew he for sure would disagree with to show, well... that his logic was faulty.

gevans Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 ... and saying all western women are xyz isn't? And just to be clear here, by "western women" we all really mean "american" women. Just to clarify, when people say western they should mean the following; source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world That desn't mean that they do, but these Countries generally considered part of Western Civilization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
