The Milk Revolution

"I'm not going to hire derspiess because he stinks like sour milk" - I'd consider that racist, because of the negative action, yes.

If I really stunk like sour milk, I wouldn't blame you for not hiring me.  I still don't see how that's actually racist.

You smell more like beer.

It wouldn't be that you particularly smelled like sour milk compared to other people of your background, it would be that you and most people like you - white people who consume dairy products as part of their diet - smell a bit like sour milk to someone who does not eat dairy products. It's not a derspiessian hygiene failure that's being discriminated against, it's an entire ethnic group (with possible exceptions for a few "good ones") based on the sensitive nose of someone not of their group.

Basically, once it comes down to "people of ethnic group X stink (with a few possible exceptions)" then it becomes racist to discriminate against them.

Still not seeing the racism if it's still just based upon the odor.

[Ed Anger]

I smell like Old Spice.

[garbon]

Like Indian people smell like curry so I won't hire them. Pretty racist.

I'm with el turco.  In my book, people are allowed to like and dislike behavior.

[Ed Anger]

Who the fuck is el turco?

[Ed Anger]

I don't know if I'm being made fun of.

And smells associated with ethnicities is a behaviour? So if someone says "I don't hire black people, they stink", then it's fair because you're simply disliking a behaviour?

No you're not. 

[Ed Anger]

Huzzah!

[Admiral Yi]

Who the fuck is el turco?

The Forehead.  Aka, The Syrian.  Aka, Speesh.

Jacob: eating certain food is a behavior.

There are many white people that don't drink milk, many Indians not regularly eating curry...etc.
