I quote you from the other thread:
"2) Asking for the ethnicity accomplishes at least 2 things (but may not be limited to those 2 things) :
1) A visual image in lieu of an actual photograph. So you aren't completely taken by surprise upon meeting, especially if it's at a bar or in a lobby.
2) Personal experience. I have given MANY CHANCES to a particular [that shall remain nameless] demographic, and they consistently:
1) Don't follow standard date script/protocol that is never an issue for any other client..
2) Push boundaries
3) Ask for things NOT on my menu
4) Ignore explicit hygiene requests
5) Seem to have a penchant for slightly lower end lodging.

Now, you can claim medical stats on communicable diseases all you want, but the vast majority of reasons for your apparent racism are based on nothing but good ole' ignorance, stereotyping, and generalizations.
Now, I am against ALL forms of discriminations -- including the TS community you are standing up for in this thread. But let's call your previous remarks for what they are -- discriminatory and baseless. You say TS people should not be the brunt of jokes, I agree. I just ask that any other minority group is afforded that same respect, aren't subjected to generalizations and blanket statements about the behavior of individuals, and can be seen as people and not their color or country of origin.
