The Question of...

[Fit of Rage]

I'm wadist. That means I think wadi should be stripped of his skin and choked with it.

In case you missed it the first time, I made the letters super big for you this time:

DISCLAIMER: This is a 100% serious thread. If you do not have something constructive to say and are inclined to post bullshit, you can take it elsewhere.

Like others have said, racism has been so ingrained in family upbringings and society that it will take a long, long time for it to fully go away. TV/Movie wise you have stereotypes galore that aren't always true- nerdy white guy with loud black friend, straight-laced asian guy, blonde blue-eyed air heads, the list goes on and on. Now, these stereo types wouldn't be stereo types unless there were actually some that fit in these categories, but thanks to the media and parents with close-minded views/upbringings, racism still runs abound, even if it only comes out in minute ways. Face it, everyone is racist in some aspect, but hopefully we can eventually iron out blind assumptions and gross disregard for ones character/ability based on the color of his/her skin.

I would like to believe I am not racist, but I probably am somewhere. The problem also is people who keep nagging about it, and thus always keeping this a subject in the forground. And alot of people try to find racisme behind alot of people where it really isnt behind. We keep racisme in the foreground and we wont let it die out.

racism and sergetemasturbation or w/e is only met in such rich and fat countries like America, England etc. Thats a product of "im so rich and fat, and especially fat!, that i have nothing better to do than to segremasturbate because my brain is atrofied and my skull is used to store 2 more kilograms of fat, oh and did i mention that i weight six hundred tons??"

Also i want to give the definition of racism: thinking that the person is bad because he is of different origin, religion and color, and not because he is bad as a person. Well

Smart people understand, that only stupid people who cant think are racist. BTW do you know the percentage of racist people in your country??

Also people, who get discriminated, сan also be racist against people who discriminate them, so they are stupid as well.

What, you honestly think Racism only exists in America and England? Wow, you're either ignorant or in a mass case of denial.

That's just from 3 minutes using google. No country is free of racists, no matter how high and mighty you think your country is. Even smart people might have some racist views, no matter how small or well-hidden they might be. Again, it's usually a product of your environment, I don't really think anyone was born racist. You don't have to be a cross-burning, *** flag-toting hick to be racist.

Everyone is a racist, everyone thinks once in a while when he meets someone, racist thoughts, just most people never speak them.

Wow... this is such a hypocritical post. "thinking that a person is bad because he is of different origin, religion and color, and not because he is bad as a person. Well smart people understand, that only stupid people who cant think are racist." It's hard to see you as nonracist/predjudice when you spent the entire first part of your post putting down people because of something as stupid as weight. Good going fighting to make a difference and being a "smart person". :up:

Well, a large portion of it may be more ingrained in subconscious...

For example, tall people get hired more than short people, because they're associated more with leadership...

Beautiful / handsome people get hired much more than ugly people or midgets...

Everyone knows that these characteristics have nothing to do with actual capabilities, but they affect job selection anyway, and I doubt that many people are really unaffected.

[Galleleo]

Its futile to try and put a halt/stop to racism. It wont stop until many many children, grandchildren and grandchildren of the grandchildren of our grandchildren before that has a change. Besides in alot of cases its very hard to prove there was racism involved.

[K2Grey]

It being futile to try to stop racism entirely doesn't mean you shouldn't try...

After all you can still make advances. Desegregation of public facilities doesn't stop private discrimination, but that doesn't mean the former isn't a big improvement.

[Galleleo]

My intend was not to make you think you should stop trying, or no improvement can be made, maybe I should have mentioned that, I was merely trying to point out its a very, very, very long process before it dissapears, if it ever dissapears..

[Cops]

stereotypes is the problem. If you can see each person as a person and not something else not matter what they are affliated with then you are the highest level of being. 99% of you are not in this catagory and you only help perpetuate racism with your stereotypical thinking. gj cockbags.

I'm going to respond to this because I think it was directed at me, culture breeds sterotype but what's the reason for your malice and spite? Just because I would watch myself around someone who was dark skin and had a thug look to them late at night doesn't make me racist. Maybe I have my eyes too open or too closed but some stereotypical paterns exist and sometimes you can't ignore them for the fact of being politically correct, ex-specially when it comes to your well being.

[SpiderMage]

Culture breeds sterotype and sometimes the sterotypes are right.

Like when?

[Nockm]

Racism is part of instinct.

Like when?

Like people wandering around at 3 am dressed up like thugs are up to no good. I'm sorry that I see a distinction between the black youth and the white youth, maybe it's cause I'm white I don't get attacked by white kids and I'm sure were just as bad as them but it's a self-perpetuated undeground thing people don't talk about. If you're cool and you're black that's awesome but maybe I don't have much faith in the black youth because all I seem to be doing is dealing with racism and hatred, but this doesn't mean I don't try and give everyone the time of day and tolerate people for who they are it just means I'm more on-guard until I get to know the person.
