Also wear the glove even if you taking ARVs. You can still give herpes and others diseases to the SPs.

Anytime you see someone talk about how great a punting scene the capital city is, you know he's not a darkie.

People feel more comfortable with their own kind and its not racism.

If I was a wg I would also have a ROAR policy, cultures are different, different races and ethnicities have biological preferences and tendencies, some things may be acceptable to one group of people and abhorrent to another. Humans are shaped by experience, a person could have had a handful of negative experience with a particular race that caused them to have a negative view of all people of an entire race.

I dont punt certain races, I dont rent out my property to certain races including my own, I dont do business with certain races, I dont hire people of certain races.

This thread escalated quickly lol.


One would think money is colour blind.

Intention was not to change the position. People are free to do business with whomever they want. It was just an interesting observation especially noticing some service providers who previously did but now don't. Suggests some shift. It's peculiar.

I hear the arguments above but surely if horror stories existed they would be province wide and not just this side of the Jukskei?

The highest concentration of white SPs are in PTA that advertise on this site.

Let's be honest. No one wants those crackhead sps in jhb/Centurion.

I found that well run houses in jhb are also roar. Most times the chalk will talk but at a premium

AKA racial prejudice.

But like Rene said, I'd hope that people are past trying to change other's feelings on the matter. Whoever doesn't want to cross the divide should feel as free to that choice as those who do.

Damn, I must be fake, I just assume that every white WG has a roar policy and never attempt to book. Although there is one I've been curious about, she doesn't have the roar label,Yet.

No, prejudice is a preconceived opinion formed without experience or reason. I am talking about an opinion based on experience. Its not reasonable to expect a person to make a statistically accurate conclusion based on correct sampling and a fair same size. There is a joke that the difference between a tourist and a racist in Africa is 7 days.

Lol. We're really plumbing new depths of idiocy now.

Prejudice doesn't require opinions to be formed "out of thin air." It's what happens when someone stops judging individuals and starts leaning on whatever traits they've decided belong to the group --- even if that decision came from a couple of random encounters. A handful of bad interactions with a few people of a particular race doesn't turn into insight about the entire race; it turns into the textbook definition of prejudice.

The whole "but it's based on my experience" excuse doesn't salvage anything. All you're doing is jumping from person A to every person who shares their race and pretending that's sound logic. Person A's behaviour tells you precisely one thing: how person A behaved. It has absolutely zero predictive power for person B, C, D, or the next ten million people in that category.

If someone gets cut off by three drivers in red cars and concludes that red-car owners are universally reckless knobs, nobody applauds them for drawing conclusions from "actual experience." They get mocked for connecting dots that don't connect. You're doing the same thing, just with higher stakes and more confidence.

Anecdotes don't magically transform a stereotype into a fact. They only tell us where the stereotype came from --- not whether it's worth anything.

And please, spare everyone the "people aren't statisticians" defence. You don't need a statistics degree to recognise that five interactions can't possibly describe millions of people. This isn't rocket science --- it's the lowest possible bar for not making ridiculous, sweeping assumptions about entire populations.
