Re: Racist "pls no black guys" bullshit ho
I have no ulterior motive to make the women do what I want because I have never been discriminated against by an escort. I am not African-American but am Jewish.
Your arguments about personal choice really have no bearing on the thread. You know why? Because I am not arguing that discriminating based on race should be prohibited in this context.
The argument is not that someone should not be able to exclude African-Americans but that doing so is based on strongly negative associations with that race. That is racism.
As for the length of time it took you to write that post (again I was able to see you were here) we could have had a discussion in the meantime.

Re: Racist "pls no black guys" bullshit ho
That I would have liked to have a discussion but your skulking around prevented it. If characterizing anyone in a negative way is childish then there would be no point in discussing anything. I think every argument you've made has been dishonest. From your first post where you said that nobody should discuss racism because it's an opinion. We should confine ourselves to raw data?
What other arguments have I abandoned? That sex is more personal and being an escort is not like other professions? Yes, I've given up on that because the analogy is strained for reasons other than the ones you've identified. We are talking about something that is currently illegal, and so if it were regulated at all, the regulations would be more narrowly tailored towards safety (condom use, providing identification, security). It is a complete non-sequitur, particularly since the main argument has always been that people can make a range of choices and are responsible for how those choices make them look.

You said this:
The people who think that having an automatic screen for people of one race is unfair are not engaging in a lecture any more than you are. They just have some understanding of why racial litmus tests are unjust.
Legally run businesses aren't allowed to exclude people based on race....ones that operate in the black market can. That doesn't mean it's any different in principle.
Insofar as money is being accepted for sex, sex is being commoditized.

Re: Racist "pls no black guys" bullshit ho
I gave up on the argument for a couple of reasons. First, it wasn't really my core argument but just an example of how there's generally a consensus in society that excluding people based on race is unacceptable. The second reason is that it made it too easy for you to pretend that I think women or their orifices are places of public accommodation when the analogy if there is one is to the place of business (a hotel, apartment, or wherever the sex takes place). I thought it ran the risk of turning into a collateral discussion. If prostitution were currently regulated I would happily argue that I think there are good reasons to not allow discrimination based on race. But it's a distinct argument, and would be based on public policy grounds.
But again, the main argument was that using race as a screen is based on generalizations about people of a particular background. Such a practice is grounded in what has traditionally been racist ideology.
Now I really have to go to bed. I will be back tomorrow evening if you want to discuss further.

Re: Racist "pls no black guys" bullshit ho
I wanted to see a girl in my area but she wouldn't see guys with facial hair. Is this the thread to be outraged about it in?
