Too Many White Guys

[ptourkin]

More on Patrick after the PinkBike discussion. I find his analysis compelling. I'm guessing some won't.

It seems the politically correct method to complain about an inappropriate metaphor is to write bigoted articles about white guys.

It's not "too many white guys". It's too few riders of other colors and genders...

[earlfoss]

It's trendy now to bash on white guys.

It's probably not PC to point out that the author is a racist.

I think the writer is just trying to drum up attention. Never heard of the Pinkbike discussion. Glad I missed it.

What needs to happen in this situation is for a Red Kite Prayer writer to quit, storm off in a huff, and write a blog post about how Red Kite Prayer and its readers tolerate bigotry and racism. The post could then be spread all over social media so all right thinking people can pat themselves on the back for finding somethign to be outraged about that day.

The photo with the article depicts 4 men and 3 women. Maybe the line should have been: "One extra white guy".

RKP should petition the NBA to allow Contador to play point guard. The playing field there needs leveling, there are not enough sub 140-lb. Spaniards in the game.

Blaming white guys is the easy out. It simple shows that the author is lazy and likely not very bright.

If he really wanted to generate some clicks he should have mentioned the latest episode of Game of Thrones. It is causing an uproar on the internet!

That post was amazing in the worse kind of way. Dude or Dudette is a junior provactuer.

"Blaming white guys is the easy out. It simple shows that the author is lazy and likely not very bright."

Lighten up a bit. He submitted it to his Freshman English instructor at the University of Phoenix and got a B.

A little more perspective regarding the author. If you scroll through the last 200 or so articles he wrote you will find a very, very short one about the woman aka the outspoken cyclist and another article where he says:

"I know you think we’re stupid, but cyclists are, generally speaking, smarter than your average porn star, which, judging from your photos, may or may not include you."

Real nice!

Well, the author is consistent, if not particularly original. Taking the dopey, ersatz-moral high ground in pointing out the already obvious flaws in the current milieu. And following that up with the stunning courageousness in proselytizing for more rightness, righteousness and goodness. Same underpinning as his last feeble attempt and being relevant at this topic.

Yes, I am fully cognizant as to the difficulty in creating content, it is not always easy or simple. But as this RKP writer demonstrates all too readily, it is easy to be lame.

I have a hangnail -- think I'll go get my pajama-boy outfit on and go to bed 'til I feel safe.

What are these special snowflakes thinking when they write this? Hard to find this much whining in a kindergarten class that missed nap time.
