Racism, does it offend you? Or does it give a high? If so, why are you racist? If you get offended, why do you get offended? If you don't give any other way, why? Do you think I'm racist? Do you think you are racist? Is that a racist comment?
People take racism too far these days, shit like not being able to use the name black-board and stuff like that.Plus, it's not the black people themselves who are offended by it, it's the stupid do-gooders who run around trying to make everything PC on their behalf. Also there's a massive double standard where racism against white people is totally accepted.
I myself an not racist, but to a certain degree I think I judge races as a whole in accordance with my own experience involving individuals from a minority. For example, I've yet to meat a ginger person who wasn't a twat, hence I don't like ginger people, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt - there's probably a ginger person out there who isn't a twat.
Let's not forget the ones who like to play the racist cards alot too, that make the "do gooders" have to be all upity. Such as, the black guys that yell that a cop or someone is picking on them because their racist, yet they have to say it in a completly retardet way like "Yo, why all dees boiz in blue gotta be hatin, all cuz i'm afrikan, yo." So, while I'm listening to him blather on incohearantly about his "problems", I'm thinking, "It's problably not because you're black, it might have something to do with your being an idiot."
Hell yeah, that pisses me off too. Especially when they use the racism card as a ticket to do whatever the hell they want. "You can't be arrestin me for murdering that guy, yo, it's cos I is black you rasist, man" etc.
Why does racism only apply to black people these days? what about the other ethnic groups?
I think Affirmitive action is a joke, why should people get help just becuase they are of a certain decent? If you favor one ethnic group over another, is that not racism? The call it "leveling the playing field" but really its just discriminating against everyone else......
Sure you COULD say that they have had some challanged thrown their way but certainly if everyone is equal then WHY should one group get help where as another does not? Does that mean we are all equal but they aren't AS equal so they need a bit of "extra" help to boost them up to "equal"? Isn't that like saying 1=2?
I think if everyone is truely equal, and I do believe that we are ALL created equal then we should all be TREATED equally. If an oppertunity exists it should be avaliable to ALL , not just an ethnic group simply becuase some activist says that they are being "opressed".
I got an advert for Chances, an "equal opportunities employer", through the computer science department here. I can't apply to be considered because I'm not black, Asian, homosexual, disabled or transgendered. That's not what I call equal...
But racism, on the whole, I hate - the meaningless hatred of someone because of where they are from.
racists suck, says the man from Oldham (us guys had massive race riots a few years back, thankfully i was in Spain at the time). but i hate how asians run around calling white people and get away scott free... come to think of it i bet thats how the riots started

The programme isn't equal, but it is an attempt to level the playing field for employment where racism may have been prominent in the past.
I grew up ina very progressive city where I spent my whole childhood discussing racism. I was required to take a class in my 9th year called "Ethnic Studies" where we discussed peoples' prejudice. Basically I came out of it thinking that everyone is a little racist. Everyone has biases whether they are concious or not, and it it when people accept this fact that solutions for creating a less discriminatory society can come to fruition. I do think racism is less an issue now that discrimination based on religion and sexual identity.

yes, it is human nature to make judgements based on little or no evidence. everyone will have a predisposed stereotype about every racial group they know, inherited from some third party source. the source of course depends on whether that person will simply stereotype or be racist. it's not our nature to be racist per se. no one is born hating another race, they have to learn that hatred, and equally, such hatred can be unlearned.
Haha, it's fucking hilarious in hawaii, because here, everyone hates whites because they took the land from the hawaiians and generally fucked everything up. I'm white, so I get some guff, but it stopped as soon as I made friends with the biggest, scariest samoan you have ever seen. And everyone knows me anyway, but I feel sorry for the white kids who come from the mainland, and get beat up everyday at school, hahaha.
And about blacks, I'm friends with three of the seven at our shcool (whites,blacks, and hispanics are a minority. pacific islanders and asians make up 97%)
the race card comes in handy when you get in trouble. Like one time we were throwing firecrackers from the monorail at the mall, and a security guard stopped us, and Keenan broke out with "CUS IM BLACK!?" and that shut him up.
Steve Zissou: Anne-Marie, do all the interns get Glocks?
For the 10,000th time in a row, I agree with AsparagusTrevor. The double standard where it's ok to discriminate against white people is bullshit. I'm not racist, but I do make vague generalizations based on what I've been exposed to, and I don't mind a non-spiteful racist joke. Still, I've never heard a white person tell a black person that they're racist, even after they had slagged us off as a whole for almost half an hour, but a black person can drop the 'r' word without batting an eyelid if you so much as mention anything negative about an individual black person, even if what you said was completely unrelated to their skin colour. At least that's what our city's like at the moment. It's a shame, I really would like us to be equal. If only they knew we weren't all out to get them.
Yeh, I find it weird that if a black person says black power, nobody cares.
But if a white persone says white power, a whole bunch of people jump him.
Black people had it bad back then, but white people have it bad now. Everyone thinks ohhhhhh that poor black person, his family was a slave so lets go talk about stuff.
Now adays, white people are just screwed.
Why dont white people have a word that they can only say. Like black people have the overated "N" word!
