I don't think oneself can determine if they are hypocritical or not, that is for others to decide.

Also, I think you totally mìssed the point of ASL posting Moby Richard

Not liking people because of their ethnicity is bigotry. Have a preconcieved negative and generalized view of a certian ethnicity is bigotry. Don cherry is a bigot, for example. It’s ironic that people who talk about how soft guys are all day start crying when called out for their views.

Its not though. If I say I don't think I want any players from Great Britain on the Canucks right now, that makes me a bigot?

I think what he means is if you say you want no players from GB on the Canucks for a reason and said reason is unfounded or incorrect that is a problem.

If you said you want no players from GB because they don't have NHL caliber players that's fine, but if you say you don't want them because they smell bad and beat their wives that would be uncool and/or bigoted

I’m good. Happy to talk hockey. I simply think generalizing about all swedes, euros and/or russians, or any ethnicity for that matter, is a mark of a lack of education. Don cherry baby boomer bigotry.

Isn't that generalizing?

I do think when it comes to Don Cherry it's fairly well documented that he makes some generalizations about euros that aren't entirely fair though

I don't like Don Cherry at all, and have always thought that old bag of bones needs to get the f*ck away from hockey, because he has nothing positive to bring, especially to the youth who are currently playing or wanting to play.

I have vocally said that I want the Canucks and Judd to take someone from the USHL, which most likely means an American. That doesn't make me bigotted towards Canadians or Euro's though, that was my point to Neem.

Fair enough, I was just clarifying.

We certainly seem to be having good luck with americans, I'd like to see it continue too

It is if they’re qualified and the only reason you dont want them is their ethnicity. There’s a difference between what I’m talking about and your red herring

your digging here man. You need to chill. Look around you, everyone is having a good time, not taking things literally. No one here is a bigot, no one here is a racist.

I thought you or someone may bring that up. I dont think all baby boomers think the same anymore than i think all russians play hickey the same. I do think don cherry is a bigot. I do think his particular way of thinking is common amoungst that generation.
