My sister's BF (vent)

I'm really having a hard time liking my sister's BF.  Thankfully, I don't have to see him very often.  It seems everytime my sister mentions something that he did/said, I get really annoyed & would like to punch him in his *you know where*.

Today's comment:

I was talking to my sister about gaming systems (Wii, Playstation, etc) & the Xbox Kinect.  He says 'I don't like video games.  They remind me of black people'

Really??  WTF?  Ugh.  Ick!

If he ever said something as stupid as this in front of me, I don't think I could respond politely.

And to my sister, how could you date someone who says such ridiculous things??

    My thoughts exactly.

    "You're the L and the V, I'm the O and the E...Am I speaking clearly?"
  • Wow sounds like a douche.
  • I'm just playing devil's advocate....Could he be very sarcastic?  or has he said other things that really lead you to believe he's racist?

  • Lol. Wow. What an idiot.

    You've said in the past this is probably just another guy, and he won't last long. Let's hope that's the case and that this idiot doesn't stick around for to long.

    Ew.

    He's made other comments & not just racist ones that are inappropriate.

  • Let's hope your sister wakes up soon so you won't have to put up with much more of his idiocy.

  • Wow. Indifferent I hope your sister moves on from this guy soon. I don't think I could stand being around someone like him.
  • That is a stupid comment because he sounds racist, but also because I am not sure what the correlation is between video games and black people. I am not sure if I am the only one who doesn't see it. I would think white boys/men make up the biggest population of video game players...but I could be wrong! Maybe I am just thinking of H and his friends trying to beat each other on Madden.
  • What a peach! Sounds like a keeper! Ick!

    I know. His stupid comment doesn't even make sense. I've never heard that as a stereotypical comment before.
