Fb stereotype of the day

[hannamarin]

A FB friend commented on this post so it showed up for me
"i hate how All middle eastern men think it is okay to proposition a woman just because their wife is pregnant. This has happened to me several times"
Comments that followed
"i know! That happened to me too. My boss wanted to have sex with me while his wife was pregnant. He was Middle Eastern too"
"some cultures have no idea"

Finally, my friend "i happen to know a lot of Middle Eastern men that are the politest men I have ever met and are very respectful of men and women. My husband included"

I cant believe people post this stuff on Facebook and others agree!

Wow. Talk about generalizing...

I have a few "friends" on Facebook that post some really inflammatory things. The latest status that bothered me was from a man going on about how women get abortions out of convenience. He referred to those who support legalized abortion as the "pro-death crowd." The same person also put up a picture of two men kissing and a man kissing a dog and said that the former will lead to the latter as people become more accepting. Ugh.

WTF??? Who not only thinks things like that, but actually posts them on a public website??

I thought my FB feed was bad with all of my super religious cousins posting their political opinions!

You know....wink. All those men that proposition you for sex because their wife is pregnant
I really wanted to comment, but not my Fb friend. I wanted to say "right, because you are soooo hot"

It has gotten worse. I never understood how racist people can be racist and not realize it. This woman just explained it with her circular stupid argument

Since obviously no 'American' men ever cheat on their pregnant wives, it must be a middle eastern thing ^o)

WTF

I cant even begin to tell you how dumbfounded I am by her post.
I cant comment on her post bc she isnt my friend but her profile is basically public. I would like to call her out on our common friends page, but I cant do that to my friend. She may be a coworker, or family....
