    I understand Eric's explanation of how it could be racist, but do not believe Rasta was trying to be racist, or that the implication of his words matched with what Eric was getting at.

    A misunderstanding

    It's nothing more than a way to call someone skinny. You are reaching on this one dude.

    I'm 6'1" and 155. The nicknames I've received because of that are unprecedented.

    Just wanted to let everyone know I locked this thread because I think there was high chance for racism, and negative posts to come from it. The initial point between rasta and eric had been discussed, I wanted to end it before it went places... It’s basic premise I didn't agree with personally (but thats not the point).

    I think having discussions on whats racism, what isnt and so on is important, I just think there are numerous threads to do that in.

    Nice job! Your reasons for closing are well thought out.
