I know it's been said by others, but if you want to deliver a lecture on stereotypes and hate speech, you don't open with your own stereotypes and hate speech. You just don't do it.. unless you're just too self absorbed to realize that you're just as guilty as the people you are lecturing. Ignorance begets ignorance, and you... well, you get the idea.
If you want to further the cause of tolerance, start with yourself and apologize to all the nice people from Texas. Then talk to them like human beings, and not simians. And THEN, maybe you can get somewhere in a dialogue. Until then, you're just some asshole from out of town who believes that his own form of bigotry is superior to everyone else's.
Now - if you're seriously suggesting that one group of human beings deserves protected status, while another group deserves whatever portion of you, and anyone else, wants to heap on them? You're not going to get very far with that line of thought. Not in Texas, or anywhere else.
And, for the record, the word phobic itself is a misnomer. It was invented to suggest that the only reason people do not like sexuals is because they are afraid. It's found its way into the popular culture, and it's utter bull . As is the idea that any man who is anti-gay, really has latent sexual desires. By that logic, you must be afraid of Texans, even though you secretly desire to be one. Maybe you should go, and take your Texaphobia with you.
Personally, I think Jefferson is probably a great guy. If he had played better ball while he was here, you wouldn't have read most of those comments. But then again, I still see all the "Choo-Choo" comments about Neal, even when he wins the game. It's all seventh-grade bathroom banter. So kindly take your own bigotry, and your own version of morality, and stuff them up your ass. Maybe sit under some crystals, or a pyramid. Or go to the bank to see if you can get them to reduce the principle on the overpriced house you bought. You live in a state that elected Arnold ing Schwarzenegger to be your Governor. There's just no possible way anyone is going to buy your superior act.
