no it doesn't
Is there something inherently negative about liking watermelon?
Is saying that black people have big dicks not racist?

those stereotypes have a context.
black people's physicality was used to suggest that they were intellectually inferior, and the watermelon thing is because poor southern blacks had to eat what was easy to grow.

That's a good point
What about Asian people being good at maths? even if it might be subverted was it always negative?
Does it only become racist if it takes on negative connotations?

that's a generalisation based on Asian immigrants encouraging their kids to take advantage of the opportunities of a Western education.
but I accept your broader point with the caveat that this is cultural, rather than racial.

I think there's been a little confusion on my part about what you were trying to say. It's pretty axiomatic that racism implies both inferiority and superiority. For some reason I thought you were suggesting one without the other but that's retarded and I don't know why I thought that.

I love this thread
What starts out as tongue in cheek ends up getting a bit serious.
I'd have thought that any non-Brit who joins B3ta should at least understand the gist of British humour.
I am going to show this thread to my black mate who always finds these sorts of conversations amusing, in the most patronising way.
Yes! I have a black mate! Subtext, I most definitely cannot be a racist.
