aimee smith about mike rolish
>look how upset he got at >the mere mention that he *looked* like a
skin-head...
wouldnt you be bothered if someone stereotypically judged you by your
appearance? you could have just said that he had a shaven head. you used
that comment to demean him because he was against you. aimee smith, you,
of all people, being such an intelligent, concerning, sensitive, calm, and,
especially, fair individual that you are, should know better than to
insinuate such strong accusations about someone. why did you have to
describe him using the words skin-head? what descriptive benefit was there?
grouping someone into a category based upon their appearance, i thought
you were against that?
