Im racist. I try not to be. I wouldn't treat an Asian guy differently just because he's Asian. But it will be pretty hard for me to take you seriously for awhile.



My family owned ALOT of slaves. I couldn't care less. It had absolutely nothing to do with me.

I don't have any Asian friends and I know this to be the case.


The oldschool Asians are. Like really old men and women. Especially Vietnamese ones.


Of course the Vietnamese are racists. Just think of how many African Americans they killed between 1960 and 1975.

Wait.
Do you think that a person is superior to another just because of its ethnicity/race? If you don't, you aren't a racist.
From your description, you look like someone who's aware of his own xenophobia (which is a normal human istinct) and tries not to be overcome by it.

Excatly. Everyone can be campé... everyone can be racist, and I do believe that some of that is because of the slave trade, and KKK, and all of those buttfaced rednecks... Things like the LA riots. Even the slaves went and killed every white person they saw! Asians especially. In china, they have anti-black killings, and in india, I bet barely anyone heard, in 1984, the Hindus attemped genocide on Sikhs. 250,000 killed, and one of the top ones, and the only thing the US/UK media heard was "Indira Gandhi was shot by her vicious bodyguards 30 times..." That's not even 1 bullet close enough if you order the holy site of a peaceful religion to be blown to pieces by cruise missiles and tanks.... But yeah, everyone can be racist. White people to white people, black to black, asian to asian, indian to indian....

people "have problems" with skincolour because there are people like you, constantly putting it back on topic and making a big deal about it. And then we go again with "because of slavery they are gay".
Many Levels of Fail. EPIC fail.

Anybody who seriously thinks any particular race is racist, is a racist.

A working definition of 'racism' would be 'segregating according to race in a scenario in which race should have no bearing'. Most of the racism today is aimed against whites, because through some twisted logic it is believed that the whites must atone for what their grandfathers and great grandfathers and great great grandfathers did. The Black Power movement was extremely racist, openly discriminating between whites and blacks. But not all Blacks were in the Black Power movement.

You want to find racism, go to Africa. Pretty much any country you choose, there will be tensions if not open violence between tribes. America is remarkably tolerant (probably due to its status as a melting pot) but no one will 'fess up to it. I honestly cannot think of a good reason why.

I once heard an interesting song called "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist." Made a good point, about how making jokes about race is usually becuse they're based on truth, and that it's not the same thing as a hate crime. Look it up sometime.

Equal how?

Mackedamia wrote: and we shouldn't mention race.
We shouldnt mention it because in scientific terms there is only one race.

WHAT?

They shouldnt, the same the British dont hold the Irish reasponsible for enslaving them(yes the Irish took English slaves). The same way the Irish and the English and a large section of Continental western Europe dont hold the Norwegians responsible for taking slaves from their respective ancestors, the same way the rest of Europe doesnt hold the italians responsible for the Romans taking slaves...need I go on?

Mackedamia wrote:And also, why do whites have problems with blacks?

The generalized statement of a block head.

Why not?

All blacks are gay or what?

Mackedamia wrote:most would argue that it is becuase of whites enslaving blacks,


I don't think so, actually. Not in the slightest.

Mackedamia wrote:so why should I be held responsible?


I don't think anyone is holding you responsible for slavery.

Mackedamia wrote:And also, why do whites have problems with blacks?


Not all of us do.


My God, that was the stupidest thing I have ever seen.
