Claire Standish Walk-on

If this post is real, we need to do a better job of showing respect for all groups represented at BYU. Posters on this board need to do a better job of showing this respect and stop with any hint of stereotyping.

If that's what you're saying, race was a part of it from the very beginning...

When you start blaming problems on team on race, it's very dangerous ground

You're using "culture" as being interchangable with "race" but there's another definition and use of

Stereotyping is a vicious form of racism and very hurtful to the target

Claire Standish

1/12/18 2:01pm

I think that you are drawing incorrect conclusions about what people write here.

jaromp

1/12/18 2:05pm

You're missing the point. We're not talking about the "culture" of any particular race or ethnic heritage.

soupie

1/12/18 2:05pm

To be fair I think you are both right. Their have been racist comments on

Yes. Didn't claim it never happens only that the vast majority

Another common usage of the term "culture" is in business.

Great post, So sad that you even have to explain this

Come on guys this one is easy to call.

Yeah, probably true.

BYU Sociology Professors stated Stereotype is often based in facts.

1/12/18 3:50pm

Agree, many on here do not use "culture" to mean "race." I would say most don't.

Stereotyping an ethnic group has been done in this very thread

Claire Standish

1/12/18 3:24pm

No, that post is trying to explain the difference and to help you understand. In what why did that post stereotype?

soupie

1/12/18 3:28pm

What I know is it's wrong to stereotype individuals based on their ethnicity

Claire Standish

1/12/18 3:34pm

No one on this thread has done that. Please point it out if you see it and explain.

soupie

1/12/18 3:35pm

The only thing this thread is showing is that you are the one that thinks about the ethnic heritage of the players on

jaromp

You have serious reading comprehension issues if you take soupie's post and

BYUMizzou

1/12/18 3:34pm

No, at least by some here, "culture" is being used as a means to stereotype

Claire Standish

1/12/18 3:37pm

That's not what soupie's post said though. You're being worse than what you're

BYUMizzou

1/12/18 3:39pm

You are the only one taking it to mean that.

jaromp

Case in point

Claire Standish

1/12/18 3:44pm

That post is not the one that you cited before. That also doesn't reflect the general feeling on here, in my experience.

jaromp

1/12/18 3:46pm

The post I cited hints at the same thing as do many others on this board

Claire Standish

1/12/18 3:52pm

That post was widely criticized by the board in general

What do all those red thumbs down by that post mean? I can’t tell

JohnnyComeLately

1/12/18 3:54pm

Absolutely nothing in that post is referencing an ethnic group

CougarBlue08

1/12/18 3:51pm

Or its not. When you start attributing success due to race, it's very dangerous

There are some rascist BYU fans. Mostly rascist out of ignorance.

Maybe, but now any talk of race in regard to coaching staff has become toxic

Claire Standish

1/12/18 3:22pm

And don't post about religion either. That's sensitive to many people. In fact

provokid

Fans come here to talk sports. In that context, when culture is discussed, it is team culture. Not race or ethnicity.
