i was there sitting playing poker on my phone while getting my daily dose of vitamin D. there was this dude roaming the perimeter to stop and talk to every decent looking girl there. every girl was just freaked out lmao

right idea, the park is one of the best spots to do pick up now...but really poor execution

and no i haven't been out picking up girls, i've decided to properly respect the quarantine

Why did you feel the need to specify his race?

to provide more detail for imagery...? race is one of the first things detectives ask about for a reason

But you didn't feel like you should include the races of the girls to provide more detail for imagery.

just because it isn't essential data doesn't mean it isn't descriptive data. if you're trying to picture this story, his race helps the visualization in your mind's eye

I don't need to know the race of anyone involved to imagine this story. This detail does not enhance the story in any way.

No to me it doesn't, because when I hear "black guy" it doesn't evoke a singular image to me. Does it to you...?

i would argue that simply isn't true. you probably would have pictured him as white, which would have been incorrect.

it is not racist, i make no commentary on his race at all, rather just stating it for detail

Who cares if he's black or white though? As was pointed out, you didn't specify the race of anyone else involves. You're not JRR Tolkien writing ten pages about a two minute observation you had.

yes, it invokes the image of someone with much darker skin

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


depends, i might have, i might not have. either way, america is like 60% white guys, so leaving out that detail leaves you with a higher probability of guessing right if you just want with the majority

But it's not actually descriptive beyond skin tone. It doesn't tell me if I'm supposed to be picturing John Legend, Steve Urkel, or anything in between.

because there were too many girls. when you read the topic, you picture a black guy talking to a diverse amount of girls...which is exactly what happened. i'm capturing as many details as possible in as little sentences as possible in the OP

if i specified black guy trying to talk to white girls, that actually does imply some racial bias/commentary (of which i do not have)

as stated, the ethnicity is just for details

if i said "some asian guy trying to hit on girls at the park" is that any more offensive?

That's equally offensive. There is zero reason to include the race of someone you're describing as inept in a story like this.

his race has nothing to do with his ineptness, and his ineptness was only a symptom of the current social dynamic

If you describe someone on CE you better not say black guy. You use black MAN and if they were mostly white women you say white GIRLS.

You know, so you don't ruffle any feathers here. All these racially sensitive racist. They'll get offended by 911 calls descriptions of suspects.
