It still is racism, regardless of intention; Not everyone knows (or cares about) what your intent was if they are offended by what you say. Plus if you're telling jokes about different racial groups, then yes, it is racist. I wish people would just own up to the fact that they do have prejudices and stereotypes against other races, because everyone does, even on a subconscious level.coxafloppin said:

Try the Race IAT test (or any other test, some of them are actually interesting).

Thats news to me!
I kind of did, I said to an Irish person "the Irish do things backwards", at the time I didn't know I was half Irish, that would have helped out big time trying to defend myself.
I think I could have took him though.
I think I'm 33%-50% Irish because that's what my mom says.omega 616 said:
That's as far as my heritage goes.
Luckily for fair skinned folk we can all unite under the banner of "white".
I would say the same for africans, jamaicans, nubians, etc, with the banner of "black", but that'd be racist I'm sure, so I don't.
Now if only those pesky religious denominations would clear away Whites would finally have the clear advantage of racial alliance in the world!
Note: While browsing the internet, the following pattern may occur: Calm statement(period) Calm statement(period) Radical controversial statement (exclamation point).
This is indicative of sarcasm and/or satire.
Personally, I think that The "N" Word is pretty much just as racist as actually saying n*****. Just because its a way for people to say it.. without saying it. It makes the listener think "ohhhhh they mean n*****"
if you're gonna be an asshole and use that language, at least man up and have the balls to say the actual word.

I find it hilarious that it's perfectly socially acceptable to call a white person "cracker" and all the other things, but if you so much as suggest anything (like your joke) it's a horrible thing.
I am of cherokee descent, and I do not hate the white man for sending my great-grandmother on the trail of tears, so I really don't understand the whole thing where a great-great-great-grandson can take credit for slavery, or that his granddad was in the marches during the Martin Luther King era.
The whole generation takes credit for the actions of a few. Now if you speak out against because it is racist, good on ya, but damn it if you're offended just because you are a minority while at the same time don't speak up if something is happening to someone else, fuck you.

Well I've never said anything sexist or racist with a genuine hate to back it up, the only times I ever do so is when I crack a joke that could be construed as a bit racist or sexist (But afterwards I normally take a dig at my own colour or creed to even things out). Online I don't think I've ever made a raceist/sexist comment but the other day I was sorting out junk in my room and I had to take some papers I had (Old tests and such) to this filing system in my room for all that. I was having trouble working it and my mother came past and said "You should gte more practise with filing systems if you ever have to work in an office" to which I replied "But Mum I'm a boy, I'll go straight to management" as a joke. She had a good laugh.

I once made a faux pas at a party which wasn't helped by my response "How awkward, I feel like a poor African American in a Mississippi police station". Though I'm not racist and defiantly meant it as a joke.
I can't actually recall being racist in my life and I'm not trying to be a "boy scout", I just can't recall being racist on-purpose or by accident.
hmm i guess i commented once in a sarcastic retort to someone's criticism of anime with a long list of the cliches in american cartoons, and one of them was the need for the racially diverse cast in all the series.
that unwritten rule that every kids cartoon has to star at least 1 black person , which would be impossible given the black population in the us being about 13%(also i don't think EVERY white kid in america has a black friend, i really don't).
also the improbable settings in which races (even whites) appear in just to go by this rule- black ninjas, white tribal natives, french asians etc.
i dunno if this is really racist because i'm just stating the facts.

I dont care if it is, people are too sensitive nowadays. Words like empathy, equality and tolerance are for cowards. A real man does not subvert his opinion for the feelings of others.Iron Criterion said:
I was talking to a friend about someone, who I forget, but was an old white guy. My friend said he could be a gangster. I said no. He said why. I said because he's old and white. He took that the wrong way, and I can see how. Didn't think it through much
