I doubt his daughter is dating Gucci Mane.

He's a retired boxer/bad actor. What does it matter at this point?

27- I think FML placed your reply under the wrong comment somehow. :)

*You're. And didn't you just say she is stereotyping, then you said; "but sorry to hear about the daughter... Etc". Expressing sorrow indicates you believe this is a bad situation, because the guy has a tattoo. You stereotyped right after accusing her of stereotyping. Irony!

I think they were being sarcastic haha.

I don't see why everyone bashes stereotyping and profiling anyway. Its a logical way to get a read on people. If 90% of people with face tattoos are scum (not a real statistic, but for the purposes of this thought excercise just roll with it) is it really that wrong to be a little bit concerned that your daughter is dating one? Out of the context of the FML, we could look at practical stereotyping. Let's take the big one: cops and stereotyping. So you are a police officer, you have a limited amount of time to find those who would cause trouble. Which is a better strategy: randomly choose people to investigate because singling people out might hurt some feelings, or realize that the guy with sagging pants, ripped clothes, tattoos everywhere is more likely to be a criminal, and prioritize getting to him first. If it doesn't lead to an arrest, so what? Profiles are an efficient way to quickly judge with a fairly high 'success' rate.

Stereotyping/profiling is Illegal and if the officer had no just cause to detain and question the individual then harrassment and suspension for the arresting officer is on the cards

Why would the mother stereotype the boyfriend, and potentially be wrong, when she could just spend an afternoon getting to know him? That makes more sense to me.

Maybe... But he could be one of my followers, and everyone hates us.

Could be, but OP doesn't know that until she gets to know him!

Ok wait, other tattoos are ok with you; just not face ones? I'm not trying to be mean by the way just an honest question after the last tatto FML.

I didn't say face tattoos aren't "okay", I just stated they are not my cup of tea. On the last FML I didn't really state my opinion on tattoos. My statements were based on how I interpreted the story. I'm quite fond of body modification in general, actually. :) I have 4 tattoos and 14 piercings.

I have no problem with face tattoos. I just personally wouldn't want one. I get judged enough with the ones I already have.

What about facial piercings? And how many of those are ear piercings? Unless?

87- I used to have my nose pierced, but I took it out. I have 12 ear piercings, which includes 3/4 inch plugs. I have my tongue pierced, and my navel pierced as well. Nothing below the waist, so no need for the "unless?" ;)
