Look Poverty+Boredom="yobbish behaviour".
It is now accepted that its unfair to sterio type someone becuase of their skin colour. The P word to descirbe asian people is now seen as racist (rightly so).
However the new scapegoat now is young people. The word "Yob" is wideley used.
Just last week on the fron page of the burnley express : "Hoodies Steal Disabled Boys Bike". This headline is appalling. I wear a hoodie, do I steal bikes from disabled people? Or anyone else for that matter? No. So why are the papers creating a generalistion like that.
Stop spreading the hate. If the person swearing was a black 40 year old you wouldnt say, "This Black person was swearing all teh time, theres too many black people swearing. Most black people are violent ect. ect." You wouldnt say this becuaseit is now accepted as racist and people realise that just becuase one black person robbed you doesnt meen all of them will.
However you still make thsi association with young people. Well I skateboard I Wear a Hoodie and Im not a yob. Only a minority of young people act with yobbish behavior.  |
