I don't care if he is a troll or not. Racism is real and causes real violence against real people. If there is any chance at all he could be serious or his words could influence someone then we are obligated to prevent it. Racism kills.

Anyone who makes a racist statement endangers the lives of one group of people even if slightly. They must be publicly confronted and I don't care if they are joking or being trolls or anything else.[/quote]

I do listen to what he's saying. I can see how it may "seem" like my idea may be racist, but it wasn't so racist back then, so why not now? It is for the greater good is it not? As long as they are treated fairly, whic, I would hope they would be.

An unlikely scenario.

Rascism is ingrained into someone over time and often from birth; no one will read a rascist message on the Internet and instantly become compelled to pump their fist into the air and declare "Wir mussen die Juden ausrotten".

Perhaps unlikely. I was also thinking of an arab-american teenager, perhaps a bit socially awkward internet geek, reading this and feeling more isolated and like he or she is not welcome in his or her own country. Every racist statement must be countered. It must always be clear that the vast majority do not support the OPs viewpoint.

The idea does not "seem" racist... It is racist... And the idea was racist back then, and would still be now...

So when we were at war with Japanese people, it was racist to lock them up as a precaution?
If so, it should be racist to lock up crackheads, because we have a policy against crack.

Im pretty sure it's Muslims causing a ruckus in the African 3rd world.

Also, comparing Crackheads to Asians is ridiculous.

rac⋅ism  /ˈreɪsɪzəm/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [rey-siz-uhm]
–noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.


You can't be Racist against Crackheads.

Yes it was racist and the act is now widely condemned by the american public, the government, and internationally.

Also... Did you just compare Japanese people to crackheads? Because if you did then it was not a very smart thing to do.

Actually the Japanese Internment camps were very racism motivated, so much so that there was a huge lawsuit against the United States Government which, oh no, resulted in reparations for violations of the victims civil and human rights. The victims also lost a lot of property as a result of internment, they lost their businesses to white people who took them over, so yeah, racism had a role in that, and it plays a role in your argument regardless of your own concept of racism. Not all "Arabs" are Muslims and not all Muslims are "Arabs. and not all Muslims are terrorists. ok? Its fear mongering and bigoted to stand on that soapbox crying "round up all them there a-rabs and get em in a camp so they can't bother us no more!"
