Yogurt eaters???
D. Arthur Rosenfield
I've noticed in Brittish culture there is some sort of significance to
being a "Yogurt eater." I point out two specific instances:
-In Monty Python's Flying Circus, just before "hell's grannies" Eric
Idle is a newscaster caught eating yogurt off camera, and seems quite
embarrassed about it.
-In the Red Dwarf episode "Stasis Leak" Lister says: "Why do women
always leave me for total smegheads? Why do they dump me for men who
wear turtleneck sweaters and smoke a pipe? I mean, natural yoghurt
eaters! Reliable, sensible, dependable, and lots of other words that
end in "-ible." He's obsessed with house-prices, and spends half his
life in antique fairs looking for bargains and drinking wine. It's
never beer, is it, it's always wine! "What do you want on your
cornflakes, darling?" "Oh, I'll have some wine, please!" Smeg!
Is it a class thing? Or a homosexual thing? I don't get it.

Yogurt a homosexual thing? Gosh, someone has some major prejudices
here... I suppose you think that all lesbians have pointy chins and own
cats... ^_^
Too bad yogurt *isn't* a homosexual thing:
if it was, I could be going out with my cute-but-straight friend Mike
(who LOVES yogurt) right now.
Next time please rethink your prejudices: yogurt is not a "homosexual
thing." Do you think only women and us gay guys buy yogurt? Puh-LEAZE.

We're not talking about my views on homosexuals here. Simply the
Brittish perception thereof. Don't yell at me about it.

wow! chill out, all he was saying is that there seems to be a wierd british
slang about being a yogart eater, and it seems to mean homosexual, taken in
context of the situations he discribed, i would have to agree that it gives
that impression, but that does not mean that any one is saying all yogart
eaters are gay.... sheesh, look "dude" if anyone needs to rethink
pregudices, look at yourself, you are increadable quick to think the worst
of people, and "assume" that they are intending harm or malic towards
you...i believe the word is Paranoid... take a prozak or something
by the way.... (and for people like our gay friend, who might think i am am
a racest, this is not ment to be a racest question.... well not a negative
sleering racest question anyway) if there is no such thing as revers
discrimination between blacks and whites, (ie blacks are not capble of
discriminating against white) how come they have there own music awards?
there own haritige day? what would happen if i was to hold the first anual
WHITE MUSIC AWARDS? or have a WHITE PRIDE MARCH?
ok, my rant is done....now on to posting....because everyone was so kind to
listen to this rant.....i am going to post a totally new, never before seen

Well, if it wasn't your *own* view, then I apologize for jumping down
your throat, but nevertheless that sort of prejudice gets on my nerves
and I hate even seeing it mentioned in a newsgroup for people with good
taste (Red Dwarf), and I feel I have the right to "yell" at such
prejudices. Yogurt for gay guys... what do straight guys eat? Lots of
steak or something? :)

There's no "reverse" racism -- there's only racism. In my experience,
there are people of *all* creeds and color who are racists. Hell, *my*
parents are closet racists (although mild -- nonetheless, they're still
racists). And they're not even white. I'm glad I didn't follow suite.
And I agree, the "black" music awards are racist in and of themselves.

Uhm, listen: I wasn't looking for pity because I feel "picked on." I
was pointing out that gays, as well as blacks, still experience
discrimination while straights and whites do not. If you cannot accept
that plain and simple fact then all we can do is agree to differ. I
won't waste my typing on someone who won't see the truth under his nose.
You say that whites are a minority where you live in LA, and that is
true. However, just because you are the minority in a certain area of
the country doesn't automatically imply that you are being discriminated
against. Unlike the non-whites of LA, YOU as a white person can travel
in Rhode Island or Georgia without being stared at. As a straight man
YOU can hold hands with your partner in public LA without fear of
physical abuse.
And like I said in my last message, you are perfectly welcome to hold a
straight pride march or a white pride march for all I care. That's the
absolute beauty of the First Amendment. However, I was just saying that
nearly all whites and certainly all straights are not discriminated
against, and if they are discriminated against they are never subject to
the extent and level of hate nonwhites and nonstraights are. My point
is that straights and whites are the most privileged people in America.
Although whites and straight can of course hold a pride march if they
wish, why do they feel a need to have such a march when they start life
armed with the weapons of privilege?

Not quite, dear. I said in my previous message that you can do whatever
you wish since there is an Awesome Thing called the First Amendment. I
was just raising the *question* of how straights and whites could feel
the same need that nonwhites and nonstraights do to reaffirm their pride
in themselves.

You are comparing polygamy to gay marriage? Ever heard of apples and
oranges? The reason gay marriage is not legalized is because of
discrimination, pure and simple. Politicians say that they are looking
out for family values, but I don't buy that. There are so many loveless
hetero marriages that I can't see why loving gay marriages can't be
legalized.
Polygamy is not legal is because it is sexist: if polygamy was legal
then polyandry should be made legal as well. And besides being sexist,
polygamy is also biologically undesirable: by allowing one person to
spread their genes so widely, the gene pool becomes less diversified and
the human race becomes more vulnerable to trauma.

And obviously, you prove that you can still be unaware on certain issues
even though you are good friends with such people.

Everyone is equal except the freaks? That's nice.
And no, I don't consider "everything that everyone says" as being a
slur. (By the way your spelling is atrocious.) I never said that the
misconception that gay men eat yogurt is a "slur." But that doesn't
mean that it isn't a misconception.

Excuse me? You're the one who sent a flame down my throat in the first
place, you're the one who's using the put downs, you're the one who's
calling people freaks, and you're the one who told me to "Get off your

you have yet to answer my rebuttal to your latest flame merely confirms

Exactly. They're self serving. If you're a gay person and were told
all your life that being gay is wrong, an abomination, a phase, illegal,
etc. etc. you're DAMN RIGHT we'd want a "self-serving" march in order to
affirm our pride in who we are.

Agreed. But in many ways that 96% of Americans have the advantage over
all the nonwhites "WITH MONEY".

Well duh, of course not. The point of gay pride marches are to come

I never said the press wouldn't hound them; it's only obvious that the
press will hound a white awards ceremony. I only said that *I*
personally would not mind/care if you held such a ceremony.

Quite obviously you haven't read my posts thoroughly. In a previous
post I write: "Everyone is discriminated against, and everybody
discriminates. But that does not alter the plain fact that whites and
straights do not experience the level of hate and discrimination that
nonwhites and nonstraights do."
Please read more thoroughly before calling people pinheads. :)

Well, I'm glad that name-callers don't have the power to dominate.
You say that the 96% of whites without money don't have the power to
dominate shit. However true that may be, any white person can travel
through Rhode Island and Georgia without receiving dirty looks and
stares, the way I as an Asian was looked at and the way my
African-American friends were looked at. You won't have racist insults
thrown at you at least once every two months, the way I do as an Asian,
even though I live in the supposedly forward thinking California Bay
Area. Think on that for moment.

After reading your post both me and my wife and the little ones were

Trully? well then you live in a different America than I do, I have been
Discriminated against because I am white, and because I am str8. Do I say
that all gays/non-whites discriminate? NO. do I say all whites/str8s are

maybe you are right, BUT i wouldn;t go into vennice, or the south side...
why? well because I am white... i probably would not get strange looks....

I think i will leave this to Mr.Powell, as he said it best...
>Polygamy is not legal is because it is sexist:
exactly how is it sexist? if all partys are inclined? and if this is what
they want (hmm, was that redundent?) then by the creed of your own people
(gay i mean) who is to judge? who is to say that it is not "natural?"
after all, most animanls do it. doesn't that mean that we are born with the
"need" is it not then inharent? are not you as a gay man, born with your
homosexuality? are you not as an asain born with your race? is not all that
you are? part of you since birth? I can say too that I was born with the
need, drive, instinct to have a harrem like the mighty lion, or garrilla
<eeek one of these days i WILL learn to spell) I can say then that it is my
right to do as i wish, who is to say what is moral and is not? if i am not
hurting anyone... then whats the harm? i am not forcing my harem to stay.
any more then you were forced to be gay. (by he way, I do have more then
one "wife" I have a Wife and a lover, that live in the same home. they love
each other, and they love me, and i love them both equally... but I canot
leagally marry my "lover" so she cannot have anymore benifits then your
"lover" can.... so i guess we are both fighting for the same rights... HUH?
>if polygamy was legal then polyandry should be made legal as well.
hmmm, OK... if thats what it takes, but I daresay that fewer women would
have more then one husband, as women as a _general rule_ (note I did not
say as you would tend towards "all Women") do not desire more then one male
husband.... but then again most women as a general rule do not wish there
husband to have more then one wife, but then again as a general rule most
men do not want to marry men, nor women women, in other words "dear" a
small group wants something that a large group does not want to give them
or allow....is this not the apidamy of what you call discrimination?
And besides being sexist, polygamy is also biologically undesirable: by
allowing one person to
>spread their genes so widely, the gene pool becomes less diversified and

hmm, at least they ARE spreading there gene's i dare say that you are in no
danger of that <sorry, you DID ask for that one>

no actualy it proves i have a vantage point that gives me the ability to
make my own opinion on the subject....
anyway... isn't it odd that all this started because I ask how people what
they thought would happen is a str8/white person would try to hold a white
music awards or str8 pride march? in other words i had only asked "WHAT
IF?!?!"
so sailor moon... you have jumped on one str8/(presumably white) male for
asking IF there was a gay referrence to something/ and anouther str8/white
man for asking "WHAT IF" do you not now see a trend to paranoia?
hypersensitivity?

Evidently, you need to read more thoroughly....I said 'if that is the
case then you are a pinhead.' Was that the case?

Where were you during the last Presidential election?? They elect name
callers every four years. And usually one gets over name calling in
grade school...perhaps you need counseling.
I apologize for calling you a bozo and perhaps I haven't endured as much
hardship as you....however, you cannot presume to know all the answers
if you blatantly disregard others opinions....my dear Sailor, we cannot
in our most extravagant dreams expect life to be fair and we cannot
conquer all.......
So we must rise above it and endure.
Think about that for a lifetime.
