Most unfortunate advertising placement

This cheered me the hell up.  Thanks, viper.  You may be a traitor to your country, but you are alright in my book.

Yes, I'd certainly HOPE it's not real.

it's a real ad, and I thought we discussed it in here ?

It sounds like something that a stereotypical limosine liberal would come up with.

As satire, you mean?

Uh, no, I meant the stereotypical wealthy liberal who has probably never actually met a black person, except for the servants.

That stereotype isn't necessarily associated with wealthy *liberals*.

Sure, there's a stereotype of a completely out-of-touch wealthy person that doesn't even have a political component, and another of out-of-touch wealthy conservatives.  But there's also a stereotype of the limosine liberal, too, which was the one I was discussing.

Silly dps.  Liberals are incapable of racism!!!  I mean look at Seedy.

I don't think that's something that's true of a stereotypical limousine liberal, at least not anymore. There's depictions of that type on tv all the time, and there's always black people moving around in their circles. The stuffy exurban rich lily-white stereotype is more likely to be connected with conservatism.

So you might say that some of their best friends are black people?

Indeed, it's fashionable to have black friends.

Seems like that stereotype says more about the people believing it than the people it's about.

The knock on limousine liberals was/is that they espoused liberal values without having any skin in the game.  I.e. soft on crime but live in the suburbs, in favor of school busing but send their kids to private school.  Not that they didn't know any blacks and certainly not that they were bigots.

So DG & grabon, what do you think this says about dps?

Nothing that I didn't already know.

That's always how I've heard it defined as well. This new definition seems like something a really conservative person came up with.
