Wait a minute...

There would have been some signs, one would think... I'm not seeing any at all. Plus Ham usually writes in good English, regardless of who hes making fun of.


Wait are you talking about Hammurab? ;)


Aye. He of the satire. He who could come out, and all your worst fears about humanity would be gone, for you knew that it was merely Ham. And then came Jedi999...

Racism has nothing to do with skin colour. This is not arguable. At all.

I know. What I am trying to say, in poor, sleep-deprived English, is that with Ham, you knew vaguely that it was satire, and you could feel slightly better that there was at least one less person of the type being satired than had seemed at first glance. But with jedi, we can't do this. We are forced to lie awake at night, living in fear that in this world there is such a person that cannot use capital letters, who cannot listen to the views of other people, who cannot understand the concept of time. Alas.

Unedit: Shouldn't we come off this now? I mean, in a way, we are hijacking jedi's thread. Oh the irony...

Look, the clue's in the name. Racism is discrimination against race. Not religion. Not looks, unless those looks are an individual characteristic of race. Just race, also known as ethnicity. And probably other things as well.

So yes sir, I am calling you a racist, and I am not wrong.

racism is hating people because of their skin colour .


Wrong.

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.

hating people who deystroyed your country is not racist it maybe nationalistic but not racist too me


No, it's racist. By the very definition you just cited.


hating racists is not racist


You don't hate just racists. You hate all British people. All British people are not racists. You, however, are.

Remember what bullshit they used to justify british rule


Pretty much everybody in Britain who was involved in the rule of India is really fucking dead. It was a long time ago.

You know, I just realized something. You talk all about how the British poorly treated the Indian people, but what about how the Indian people treat the Indian people? Does anyone know the caste system for India? If you do, you'll know all about the Untouchables.

I suppose you support leaving India leaving Kashmir then,

They'll learn much more than I'll ever know

..with their orange hair and green eyes, I would say Kashmiris are rather distinct, it's as much racism as anything else,

So..?
