Is it racist for a prostitute to reject black men?

This thread is redickulous.

This thread is redickulous.

I suppose much in the way that the government is broken when conservatives defund it to the point of inoperability, this thread is ridiculous on account of racist assholes who wish to declare it so.

Your view of reality is insane. millions? no (queuing ignorant slant on the chamber of commerce's McDonald's hot coffee poster child case in 3,2,...).

It's not ignorant to point out that the size of the verdict in that case was crazy when it is the customer who POURED THE COFFEE OVER HER OWN THIGHS AND GENITALS. A McDonald's employee did not pour coffee over her nor did a McDonald's employee tell her that the best way to add sugar and creamer was to balance the cup precariously between her legs. It is also the fact that companies like Starbucks continue to serve hot beverages at a similar temperature to the coffee whatsherface poured all over herself.
The reality is that the supposed "debunking" comes from lawyers and lawyers' groups who have a vested interest in the status quo regarding lawsuit lotteries and punitive damages.

Sorry, that's just not true. McDonalds served their coffee at a temperature of 180 to 190 degrees F. Prior to the old lady incident, there were at least 700 complaints of people being burned by McDonald's coffee, including incidents of third degree burns.

Starbucks serves their coffee at 150 to 170 degrees.

So is it racist to shitpost about coffee lawsuits when there is a perfectly viable thread of conversation wherein conservatives accuse progressives through implication that they support accusing people of racism and frivolous accusations of it, and liberals put the lie to that by stating actual views that neither frivolously accuse people of racism nor support the persecution of persons for exercising discretion over with whom they will have sex?

You're right the coffee thing is a derail. I'll stop now.

And still does.

Since Liebeck, McDonald's has not reduced the service temperature of its coffee. McDonald's policy today[when?] is to serve coffee at 176–194 °F (80–90 °C),[37] relying on more sternly worded warnings on cups made of rigid foam to avoid future liability, though it continues to face lawsuits over hot coffee.[37][38] The Specialty Coffee Association of America supports improved packaging methods rather than lowering the temperature at which coffee is served. The association has successfully aided the defense of subsequent coffee burn cases.[39] Similarly, as of 2004, Starbucks sells coffee at 175–185 °F (79–85 °C), and the executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of America reported that the standard serving temperature is 160–185 °F (71–85 °C).

Prior to the old lady incident, there were at least 700 complaints of people being burned by McDonald's coffee, including incidents of third degree burns.

That's 700 over a 10 year period. Given the number of coffees McD serves (and served even then), that's a minuscule injury rate. And some people are just too incompetent to operate a blanket. Just because a very small fraction of customers got themselves injured while using a product does not mean that the product is unsafe or that the company should pay millions to one of them (aka "lawsuit lottery") as "punitive damages".

Starbucks serves their coffee at 150 to 170 degrees.

Not according to the above. I understand the woman suffered some damages, but they were largely self-inflicted because SHE POURED THE HOT COFFEE OVER HER DAMN SELF!!! She did not deserve to get a financial windfall hugely exceeding all the actual damages over this.

I was expecting just such a response. A guy with a 12 inch dick could be of any race, not just a stereotyping of black men.

Of course you ignore the entirely politically correct viewpoint that puts the lie to your racist stereotype straw-man argument: that there is no standing to sue, and any reasonable judge would see that a penis-size policy is neutral, and that the law ought not cover racial bias in sexual services because of the nature of the service in the first place (much like how even the politically correct posters on this board have made similar concessions about the nature of other intimate services with regards to waxing genitals: that while services have an obligation to disclose clearly and in particular language which genitals they will operate on, they have every right to deny services so long as they are neutral to other factors: if you offer free waxing for vaginas, you offer it to everyone with a vagina regardless of whether they are a man or woman).

Is it politically incorrect to say that a man who has a vagina is NOT a real man?

It's just standard incorrect. It's a no-true-scotsman fallacy.

We've been through the medical and physiological realities of what makes someone a man in a number of threads now. The penis is literally the least part of it.
