What's the point of being this phallocentric?

The point is that saying a fact isn't racist.
"Kenyans are black"
"That's so racist, it's just that they have other genes. Stop bei g so phallocentric".

That's not a fact. Kenyans don't have "other genes."

No. In general, they don't. They are way poorer, have a different culture, speak differently and are over represented in criminal activies. And I am not saying they are not nice, I am saying I see it as a problem.

I want an Argentinian Argentina. I think it's a total shame the number of Paraguayans and Bolivians increased in triple digits. Without counthing the illegal ones. The worst thing is that Kirchner gives them the Argentinian nationality to gain votes. I find it really disgraceful.

We should help them in their own countries, it doesn't make any sense to fill a middle-high-income country with poor foreigners.

It's not racist because it isn't a racial trait (I won't even say height is racial as humans get smarter, healthier, taller and with more stable DNA, among some other traits, according to life quality increases in their past generations; Europeans were 1.5m in average not many centuries ago), but then it can become racist when people start to insist that it is racial in spite of lack of research in such direction.

It's normal that poor people immigrate when capitalism makes life unfair. All regions with significant workforce attraction like São Paulo attract a clusterfuck of immigrants that end up swallowing entire villages of people from harsh life regions. Paraguay doesn't even have ENOUGH PEOPLE to make Argentina stop. If you don't want life to be like that, don't support neoliberalism.

Otherwise, you blame the wrong people while being classist and xenophobic.

There is a lot of penis talk here in a thread about preferring people by skin colour. Anyway, I don't have a preference, but I think it's ok for people to have a preference, but if it's based around racist logic, that is absurd.

I don't blame capitalism whatsoever. I balme the shitty Paraguayan government and the mayority of Argentines are against immigration for Paraguay and Bolivia. Bur when you say something about it, people like you will call you "xenophobix" whatsoever, while I am not.
Triple Digits increases in immigration is unhealthy. Especially when they have a different culture and do most thinks differently. And immigration from poor people is bad for a middle-high income mation.

I would rather a society were we can be "racists" who date only people we like, for whatever the reason, than a society were we are FORCED to date people we don't like. Maybe we are better monkeys (white, asian or black) being "racist" than monkeys supporting RAPE.

It's pretty easy to settle the argument. Lets suppose dating people of only one color is racist no matter what.

Paradise would be people dating anyone, even if they don't like him or her. People who don't are either criminalized or marginalized. Except if we suppose the unrealistic scenario where everyone genuinely likes everyone, which is bullshit.

Does that seem good? No, except if you are a REAL racist that feels you would gain something on that (kind of going up in the social ladder) and is such an arse that would like people living this way to your benefit.

Then why the fuss over it? Why "address" it? This is as racist as it is IN FACT being homophobic for not dating same sex people. And we are "speciescist" for not dating animals. And all the arguments are EXACTLY the same. Sexuality can be socially constructed and can be based in prejudice just as well. Animals sometimes will breed with different species, not just different races. The argument is the same.

Now, who are we to say it can't be just a preference? Better yet, how can we know what would be EACH ONE'S decision if social construction or prejudice were nil? Some people would still be dating only some kinds of people, so what then? Those decisions can in fact be racist, no doubt. But they can be also about money, social position, revenge, fetish, anything. People aren't forbidden to be stupid, they must only not get in other people way. And to each charge, there needs to be proof first. A relationship can be based on racism or even fraud, first you have to prove. Someone who dates only certain people is not a crime by itself, nor morally wrong. Quite easy to accuse blindfolded, especially when it makes you look like the "liberator of the poor and the forsaken".

Unless you know the person actually likes some race, but won't date it because of prejudice, there is NO WAY to tell if it is racism or not. And there is more to it. You CAN'T accuse him or her of racism, as it's a crime to accuse someone of something they didn't. And you can't do ANYTHING about it, unless you go mad dictator route. In fact, doing anything about it is a civil rights offense. Everyone should should be in the relationships they want to, no matter what, if they aren't hurting anyone or anyone's right (and it's not your right to demand anyone to date you just because you are of a different race).

If you go that far into classifying things as racism, we are all racists in the end. We are all of one specific race after all and why not be any other race? Why not go Nigeria (lol, what a stupid thing) and bleach your skin, or paint yourself yellow? Preference? Well, preference on a race, so it's racism.

It can be also classicism or anything else. In such a context it's not wrong by itself and it's not getting into anyone's way or a law, therefore each to their own, respect and liberty. All the rest is bullshit. Let w*nkers call it racism, bigotry, ground racism or anything.

This sums up it nicely, if we are going to go as long as "ground racism":

The United Communist Solar Republic wrote:The real question is not whether it's racist or not, because it obviously is, but whether it's wrong. I personally don't see it as wrong, even if it is racist.


If it isn't wrong, it doesn't matter. The same way couples of different races aren't wrong, so anyone's view on it irrelevant be it good or bad.

Ultimately, THIS! It's personal life people. Being the interracial hero on the internet won't make anyone's life better at the end of the day. I dare say, even on real life.

No. Already addressed this shitty argument.

Viritica wrote:In what way? Having a preference doesn't make one racist. I mean, there are no logical reasons behind preferences. We simply have them.

Okay, this is the problem. You keep using the word "preference" but not actually giving scenarios in which ONLY preferences are in play.

Being given the option between an apple and an orange and choosing an apple because you have a preference for them is just acting upon a preference. Being offered an orange and refusing it because they're disgusting and because you only eat apples is NOT. There's something else at play there that's more than just a simple preference.

Also, I've already addressed the whole "we don't choose who we are attracted to" response:

Mavorpen wrote:The principles aren't the same. Not even remotely. See, it's true you can't pick and choose who you're sexually attracted to, but this doesn't in any way shape or form automatically rule out racism. After all, it's not like racists choose to be that way. It typically happens because they were brought up to be that way.

And the same is largely true for people who ONLY date people of a certain race. We know that in many places there is a cultural perception of beauty that is ground in racism. Lighter skin=prettier being one of them. It's reached the point where even a lot of blacks have subscribed to this belief. It's gotten to the point where in Nigeria, 77% of black women use bleaching products.

This kind of shit doesn't influence your sexual orientation. You don't become gay by looking at gay porn all day. You can, however, be coaxed into the belief that certain characteristics that are perceived to belong to certain races are inherently better than others.


I'm aware you don't choose who you are attracted to. That does not, however, mean that we should not recognize that "I will ONLY date a person of X race" is grounded in racism. No one's saying this makes you the equivalent to a KKK member. It's just something that's honestly a real problem that should be addressed.

If you like, you can also just read this section on a Wikipedia page about the subject. It's well cited.

Sure. I recognize your sources. They're tasty.

Again, stop with the straw men. I don't give a flying fuck if they have the choice to. There is DEMONSTRABLY a problem, as I ALREADY showed with a source that you didn't even TRY to address.

Complaints need to be filed and the products pulled out, as with any toxic product that's not supposed to be toxic. It's good that these studies are made so that more individual become aware that an age-old issue is still present in modern world.

Being given the option between an apple and an orange and choosing an apple because you have a preference for them is just acting upon a preference. Being offered an orange and refusing it because they're disgusting and because you only eat apples is NOT. There's something else at play there that's more than just a simple preference.

Also, I've already addressed the whole "we don't choose who we are attracted to" response: more babble


You haven't addressed anything. In fact, people who think stuff as "I'm too intelligent to have preferences that come before politically correct theories" never address anything.

If you don't know the scenario YOU CAN'T MAKE ACCUSATIONS either. And no, just saying I won't date X people is not racist automatically. You would have to know why is that decision being taken. It can be just preference and preference is preference. There is as much manipulation, madness and personal bullshit in choosing a green car over a blue one as there is into this subject. If people are not guilty of doing that and are not charged with crimes or racism or colorism in that, they can't be charged of racism in a relationship.

It's in the end a personal decision and people preferences can be mad or good, it's not a crime and it's not necessarily racism. It CAN BE (again, CAN BE) racism, depending on WHY the person made that decision. Even then, it's for the best that so far there's nothing we can or should do about it. Last thing the humanity needs is some crazy f*ck determining marriages and relationships and saying who you should like.

That won't solve the problem. The UK, for example, faces the issue of illegal skin lightening creams STILL being supplied.

The best way to address this is to change public perception of minorities and beauty.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman
