have you ever been racist over the internet?

[The Iron Ninja]

Depends if you consider Australians a race or not.
If so, yes.

Damn Australians.

 

[Satki]

Nope, but seeing as most of the stuff on the internet is pretty much anonymous, it would hardly matter, and you would look like such an idiot to take it seriously... most racist posts are trolls, just ignore them and they'll go away

I called by black friend "my nigga" if that counts.

apparently I'm his "honky *****"

I am openly racist towards the Aborigional peoples of Australia.
Living here my whole 31 years i know their true colour.
They try to pass themselves off as victims, yet when given every oppertunity to improve themselves they just spit on it.
I feel no sorrow for them as a race. They do nothing productive, just whine and ***** about how hard they have it while recieving $5000 a month for having kids in school.
Their rent is subsidised, they recieve handouts all the time for nearly everything.
Yet you cant walk through my state capital city ( Perth) with out one wanting to bum something off you. Usually $2 or a smoke or some such. Yet when you turn them down they get all nasty and try to attack you. THEN if you fight back 40 more of the buggers come out from the woodwork.

So yeah, I am supposed to care about this kind of person ? I think not.

Please remember before you report me this is a racism thread, where i feel it valid to express my experiences. Again MY experiences.

Those things didn't actually happen.

You made them all up, and that makes you a horrible, racist liar.

The Aboriginals are the foundation of Australia, and the rightful heirs to her wealth.

This nice homeless gentlemen told me so...

WTF @ TOPIC?!

 

[Slug Nut]

Yes I have, and I would like to think as I've gotten older I'd like to say I've grown up a bit. To be honest, I think the whole racism thing has gotten a little out of proportion. I only really consider something racist these days if its done out of hatred AND ignorance to a people of a certain race, sexual orientation, sex, or religion. Most of the time when I hear stuff online, I feel more like its just ignorance and not so much hate, and I've never heard someone use racist terms against someone for being a certain way. Usually its just stupid kids or people trying to be funny. Now if you want to use words like rude or ignorant, I think they fit much better.

That's just the way I see it. When I was younger I would on occasion use the n-word similarly to how a six-year-old might use the f-word. I didn't do it out of hate, it was more like rebelling. I would justify it by saying how rappers use it all the time. However I figured that its a bad thing period and it shouldn't be said at all so I've been trying (successfully) to not let it slip out anymore. I believe its a rude and hurtful term that should not be used by anyone with the possible excuse of history. ("Many hateful terms were made up including ______." for example. I have no problem with it in that context.)

No i've never done it online. I'm a grown up and I understand that if you're gonna say something like that you have to be man enough to say it to their face or not at all. having grown up in a racially ignorant environment I harbored my share of racism towards other races and learned to deal with it, learned it was wrong, grew up and eventually learned to appreciate other cultures and to love other cultures. but these kids online are nothing but a bunch of idiots who say these things more because they think they sound cool and tough than because they're really racist when in reality they wouldn't say a thing if the people were physically there.

 

[Phyroxis]

Yup, when I was younger and stupid I made some comments I shouldn't have.. I've since come to resent people like that.

 

[toapat]

[Guitarmasterx7]

im tempted to say, "what's it to ya , ya fuckin' (racial slur)" but everyone would take it seriously and i would get banned lol

 

[Sovvolf]

Yes when I was a young, stupid, ignorant little basterd, so about 5 years ago, I would have benn 13, it was mainly about immigrints coming over, ive changed alot in 5 years though, I hate racism all together.
