It seems that every single racist and "embarassing" comment concerning lack of diversity has come from the Houston posters. Please make note of that.
Well peruna, y'all brought up the third ward, kevlar vests, violent crimes, all of which are false cliches, by the way. Y'all brought up the associates degree crap and y'all have brought up cougar high. Are we hitting a little too close to home for your comfort level. Not to mention the utter cheap shot at Vince Marshall.
My gosh, some of you take yourselves too seriously sometimes. If I had known this thread would cause this much anger, I wouldn't have written it. Man, we can't even talk smack right.

In other words, lighten up biff.
So member of the Houston Diversity team. Do you naturally assume that 3rd Ward, kevlar vests, violent crimes, etc. refer to a specific minority class. You folks need to grow up. I am working in one of the fastest rising crime areas in the country and trust me our perps and our victims are very diverse.
I don't know seems like you guys were bringing up the fact that we are all 'hood rats', and kevlar promotional opportunities. Seems calling you guys spoiled rich kids is fair game. But that's me

I will buy that statement. Just do not make it racist.

I don't even think those are comparable. I would have laughed had it been just a joke about everyone driving BMWs or something about all us being rich, but I see nothing where anyone here is calling you racists or bigots or even an insult comparable to that. If there are inappropriate jokes that I cannot recall, I apologize. By, the way, adding high to a school is not new, so don't feel special.
You guys are classless and always have been, you've proven that with the characterless drubbing of us in 1989 and you're proving it not by attempting to degrade our character by calling us racists. Now I say again, grow up and refrain from taking cheap shots at character and get a decent sense of humor.
