Let's try that again - it's clearly stereotyping, but there's a difference between stereotyping and being offensive.
If I assume you eat a lot of herrings and cod because you're Norwegian, I'm stereotyping. If I start calling you herring-boy or cod-lover, then I'm crossing the line into offensive.
As for my post, I was pointing out the absurdity that saying that something is a stereotype seems to be more offensive to some people than using an actual stereotype. "Oh no, stereotyping doesn't exist until someone calls attention to it!" That's just absurd
I wasn't particularly offended by your post. If anything, I was more offended by the lame-ness of your joke. Why is it funny? "Because Japanese people eat rice! Ha ha ha!"

It could have been mistaken as a racial statement the way it was written, but I take no side in this one. Sometimes Feb 06, 12:52

Well, yeah, it was just a rhyme and not a very brilliant one. As for herring, I do love it and I eat a lot of it. Feb 06, 20:45
I found your rhyme funny, never once thought about racial implications. I thought charlie was. My mistake, and Feb 06, 13:16
Nah, not your mistake, (I'd say.) {nm} Feb 06, 16:34
Agreed. You can't use the word rice without someone playing the race card. {nm} Feb 06, 16:43
