[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Which one of those resolutions do you find offensive? They sound like common sense to me.

The premise itself is offensive and hypocritical.  The underlying assumption here that it's accurate and acceptable to attribute behavior/ideology to a group based on race/gender.

It seems to me that you either (a) believe in judging people as individuals, based on their words/actions, or (b) you believe in judging people based on their group "identity".

As a matter of principle, most don't tolerate judging people based on identity--it's anathema to our ideals.

So why then is it acceptable when it comes to white men?

Sincere question--I've never understood how people could justify this apparent inconsistency as a matter of principle.

Well said.  I’m glad this is not being well received..... I view it more as a parody on political correctness than a real message.  Although, I know this is not how the creators of this video intended it.  
On another note, I had no idea MTV was still around.  Maybe this is their way to let people know they haven’t gone to that big broadcast studio in the sky. Yet.  [/quote]
