-
- It doesn't matter if the "compliment" (correct spelling) is sincere
- or not. If it is stated in a racist way, it's racist.
-
- Is the above statment racist? I think it is. Why do they have to be
- told they're black? Given the circumstances, do they have to be told
- they are good dancers? Do they need some white guy telling them?
-
- Dancing ability (or or any other ability) would not seem to be genetic.
