Skin colour

Should the colour of a persons skin be taken into account when judging them on their work?

Only if you are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett.

You won't hear it on TV, but a lot of people will think things like, " he jumps pretty good for a white guy"

Are we talking after the fact or before?

Black girls likely give the best grind so I might choose one as a partner in a new club, but of all the girls I've already had sex with, I can't make any blanket statements about bed skills and race.

Oh, sex with girls? No, skin color never mattered. You only know what you know.

Its best to have sex with a girl that has some color if she's too pale she might have something contagious !

Federal law has prohibited discrimination in employment or housing on the basis of race or religion since 1964. So if you receive a performance review or a written warning from an employer and race seems to be a factor, you simply have to walk in to the federal dept of labor and say, "I think I might have been discriminated against." This will start an investigation and the employer will have to write responses to questions.

Then likewise, if you are interviewing perspective candidates you do not ask about things like marital status, otherwise if you don't hire them, you can expect an investigation and a lawsuit.

So I am not sure what the OP is asking. I know he is from another country where there is probably not such a history of racial conflict. But he likely is not as used to dealing with people of different races as Americans are either.

Part of the fun of strip clubs is getting to interact with women of different races and outside of the social segments one might be more accustomed to. As to how you and they will get along, there is only one way to find out. And the same goes in AMPs.

Sorry I don't follow you. What are you referring to? Is this a general question, like judging someone in the workplace (in general) or are you talking about a strip club?

^^^^^^^ That is also my question. Remember the OP is coming to us from a different country, one where is likely not the same history of racialized issues.

It's been said that sports is the greatest meritocracy. Talent rises to the top regardless of skin colour.

But anyone who watches the NBA knows might chuckle at this.

Many an NBA black player have said they feel "disrespected" when the opposing coach puts a white defender on him.

If I understand londonguy properly, he's referring to the Smiths' announcement that they are boycotting some awards show because last year's were too white. He's implying that they are protesting perceived racisim by being racist, i.e. assuming the winners only won because they're white.

To answer londonguy's question, no!

But, if this is about Oscar boycott, the argument being made is that there are good films that were passed over because of the color of the director's skin or actor's skin. The only specific I remember hearing mentioned was Creed, which I haven't seen. There may be others.

From my perspective the Oscars = non-brilliant waste of time! So I don't really care!

The Oscar "award" story cracks me up. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ("Academy") is controlled by the Screen Actors Guild ("SAG"), a union. SAG and the Academy completely control the "Academy Award" nomination process. The president of the Academy is a black woman! Every single one of the actors who have been talking "boycott" (including both Will and Jada Pinkett Smith) are current members of SAG.

A union event dedicated to self aggrandizement will be boycotted by a few previous award winners (like Will Smith), and overlooked potential nominees, because the union's subsidiary group forgot to nominate a few people with skin as dark as their president!
