Being from Alabama, I get bashed a lot by my friends from out of state (in a joking manner) about the "racism" that all Southerners in the US supposedly harbor. I have known some actual racists in my time, and their views flat out disgust me. But I hate that the term "racism" gets thrown around as soon as someone does something that may be inconvenient to minorities.

From what I can see if you're white you're racist no matter what you say. Honestly it's stupid and unfair.
Also this. I have had people call me racist before for simply asking why a man - who happens to be black - is living off of welfare checks while driving around an Escalade with 24" rims and chrome trim. It has nothing to do with his race, dammit! It's not as bad in the town that I live in now, but back in my hometown, this was an extremely common occurence.
i also wonder why a woman with a dozen kids and no job refuses to get one and is still recieving money from the government. it is getting to the point where they should put a cap on how many childeren you can have to recieve welfare. some people have kids just for the money.

If you get any Brits in where you work they never tip and when they do its shit.
Uhm, Wrong I'm afraid. For a start, tips are gratuity, and I tip. Being British I think that you should at least adjust that to "Brits you've come across".

And given we don't have any distinguishing marks that set us aside as Brits, I think you're perhaps strengthening the cause there.
did you know that supposedly it is said to never get a handjob from a british chick because they dont wash their hands? its silly is what it is. who doesnt wash their hands after using the toilet?

I've been called racist and ignorant for not acknowledging Ireland of being its own continent...
I think even Furburt would have trouble defending that. Country maybe.
Oh, it's certainly a country, but a continent?... Why not just classify England as it's own as well? Or Prince Edward Island? Sure it's an island, but that doesn't make it it's own continent.

And the guy got so angry defending that it was. I was in awe.

EVERYONE IS RACIST
-avenue q

Its just the way the human mind works. you see things, associate them with previous ideas and there is a thought. the word that should be used in most cases is "Bigoted." Everyone is racist, but the bad people are bigots who do not allow actual experience to overpower preconceived notions and color their opinion.

To sum up: Racism is a function of the human mind, Bigotry is accepting notions first and acting upon them, which is what most people mean.

That has to be the most random response I've ever heard. And anyway, why would it matter if she didn't? It's not like it would make a difference even if she was coated in dirt. That's what the epidermis is for.

"What would it matter if she didn't?" It would matter a lot. Who wants a handjob from someone who's hands are filthy, that's disgusting.

Yeah I definitely agree that the welfare system has numerous flaws that are exploited all the time. I'm not a politician though, so I'll leave the "fixing" up to them. The exact problem that you mentioned was actually a big deal in my hometown a few years back. I said something about it to one of my friends, and he immediately accused me of being "racist." If the majority of the people that are abusing it in my area just happen to be black or Hispanic, then that's not racist, it's a statistical fact. I also pointed out to him that there are some whites that do the exact same thing with welfare, it just so happens that there aren't as many.

Racism has become a word that is very casually tossed at people who do things that the minorities do not like. if you think that those living in america should know english, you are branded a racist. if you dont support obama, you are a racist. if you dont like rap, you are a racist.

so many things are branded as racist now, it has just lost all meaning. casual observations about a person can be construed as racism if it is a white guy talking about a black guy, but not a black guy talking about a black guy. and if i am describing a black guy to someone, of course i am going to mention that he is black, its a defining feature. just as i would mention a mustache, or freckles. or, in my personal experience, people who are from india generally do not tip well or at all, and it is extremely frustrating to know that even though one person in your raft speaks english and you are doing the best you can to get them down the river, that you will be lucky to get five dollars. if it means anything, packs of older women are very picky about their rides, and boy scouts will not have enough pocket change for a tip.

this thread can go multiple ways. either discuss the topic of racism, or describe a time you had an encounter with racism.
After that, I think I'm a racist, I don't like obama, I think people should learn english, I don't like rap, I'm a racist. [sarcasm]

I always tell these people the same thing: "I'm not racist, I'm a bigot. I hate EVERYONE."

There's a Mexican guy who just moved in a little ways down the street from me. He's a bigtime racist, and since we're the only white family on the street, he feels it necessary to make us miserable. about a week ago, he drove in front of the house and screamed 'WHITE POWER' out the window at our open front door... We caught it on our security cameras.

Luckily, his brother-in-law is a pretty nice guy and, after apologizing for him, promised to try and keep him from bothering us. We haven't been bothered much lately.

You're not a racist vento but you do have some ignorant opinions. You may also be a racist, I don't know you that well.

Apparently, "niggard" means cheap. So my friend (who's black...just sayin') tried to pay me into asking a black guy for money. And if he said no, I'd say he's niggard. Yeah, I didn't do it. More out of fear than anything, tbh.

I'm actually mixed between Indian and Portuguese but I've never been discriminated against. My dad went through a lot though when he lived in England but that was years ago in the '60s. He got chased by skinheads once. Not fun. And he's barely Indian himself.

But yeah, I think the term "racist" is thrown at everything slightly controversial nowadays. I'm betting everyone is slightly biased against the different races, but what makes the difference is if you act on the biases, and most people don't.

Like, I love jokes, and I don't care if they're racist or sexist as long as no one seriously MEANS it. It bugs me when people get upset. I've had people make curry jokes at me before, but it was all in good fun.

Folks. There is only one human race. Our differences are cultural. Yup, cultural. I believe our cultures may have even influenced certain genetic mutations.

First of all, do you really think it could be true? Half the country would be permanently poisoned.
Secondly, it still wouldn't effect you.
Thirdly, I think you've got an entirely different opinion of British girls if you believe they're gonna do that for you.

But, for an African tribe, they defecate in public but eat in private. Different strokes...

EClaris' encounter with racism

For an entire school year I was tortured psychologically, bullied and stolen from by my classmates. All based on my skin color and the part of town I lived in.

The kicker? I'm white and the black kids who lived in the same ghetto I did were the ones doing this to me.

I'm quite proud of the fact I don't harbor deep racist hatred. Although I am irked by anyone wvo says reverse racism isn't real or doesn't matter.


Fuck you, it does.

Being black I am supposed to react to so many things. for example if a white guy says whats up (n word) even if we are friends im supposed to act all crazy like and kill him. when i for one dont give a crap. words are just words my life goes on. On another note i do think my race is one of the most racist people out there. If i could count how many times ive heard them say they dont like white people and made fun of chinese or korean people who they order food from mind you i would be bill gates rich. lastly i would say im sort of racist to my own people only because stereotypes are usually true sorry but ive never been robbed by a white guy

i made a comment about this subject once before and i experienced mod wrath because of it so i'll just let Foamy say it for me


Edit: i don't fully endorse what Foamy says here just that i think the concept of racism now is really stupid.
"fuck people who get pissed at stereotypes, most are fucking true, and you fucking know it"

FUCKING YES.
