Your time with racists.

[Plurralbles]

You should see my grandmother. She's 96, and my grandfather was captured by the Japs in ww2. Now she hates all asians, and once I heard her call a little black boy a "chocolate bar" (Not to his face) Also, she is very british.

I think it all depends on intent if it's racistor not. "Chocolate Bar" just made me laugh, if it was in good fun it would be awesome. It's not in your case, but I dont' understand how someone can just jump to, "THAT"S RACIST!"*cue that annoying meme*

My friend says he's racist but all he ever does is make slightly racist jokes. He's friends with at least one of pretty much every ethnic minority out there.

The high school I went to had a Confederate officer as its mascot and once had a mural of slave working on a plantation painted on all four walls of the cafeteria. So...yeah. I've met my share of my racists. Some even in my own family. It's annoying. Speaking of which, I also once friends with some people who used to tell racist jokes "ironically" (and I did, too, but of course for the irony/satire reasoning) then they just dropped the pretense and just made racist comments at every given opportunity which made me feel uncomfortable. That's when I stopped making any sort of racist joke regardless of ironic subtext. So yeah. Fun times.

When I was at public school, like 2nd or 3rd grade, there were a group of black kids that always were beating up white kids, because there parents told them that white people all hated them. I never got beat up, but that was why my parents took me out of the public school and put me into a private one. I went back into public school for high school, but never really encountered racism that extreme since then.

While I was on holiday in Canada I saw a tough-looking white guy swearing at a group of black youths hanging around across the street, with him shouting things including called them "fucking niggers", although I don't know if he was actually racist of just had some sort of grudge against those particular black guys.

I know a Jew who thinks Jews and Israelites are and should be the best humans in the world. He would continue to proclaim that continuously and would often make jokes about my nationality. Even the other Jews are sick of him and want nothing more than to bash his head on a steel I-beam and throw him into the 20+ft pool with weights tied to him.

I never met one personally, but I've been lurking in the Stormfront white supremacy forums two years ago. The members were unreasonable extremists and lacked any common sense.
I asked them once about their opinion of The Simpsons. The responses were...interesting.

such as?

D:

Well, one of them posted an image of Matt Groening and posed the question of whether he looked like a jew, and another user stated while the show was funny in several ways it showed the "proud white american" in a very negative and unfair light. Several users bashed the more ethnic characters.
It was just idiotic in general

I went to high school with some people who were racist.

Very tight knit communities of white farmers in Norfolk, well known in Britain for its mild xenophobia at the best of times, so I knew quite a lot of racists for nearly eight years.

Eventually you just stop paying attention. You can't be outraged all the time because otherwise you'd never do anything else, and eventually things did get at least a little less overt.

I live in a particularly racist neighbourhood of a particularly racist city (by Canada's standards). The whites hate the blacks, the blacks hate the whites, no one likes the Middle Easterns... I try to be as friendly and neighbourly to the best of my ability but often all I get back are glares and whispers in other languages. A couple of my friends in the area are pretty racist themselves.

I try to forget about specific examples, but I hear lines like "fucki*g Arabs taking all our jobs" or "This town used to be good before they came here" all the time.

 

[bloodymassacre]

Yes i know people that are truly racist, but for the most part i just try to ignore it, but if it gets out of hand, i usually smack em, cant stand racism, its like calling something gay to say its stupid, its wrong and shouldnt exist in the world.....Racism i mean, same with using the word gay as an insult.

 

[Watchmacallit]

I went to a school that was half asian and honestly, in countries like Australia, the white people are the least racist, or they hide it better. I can't go down a street without getting called a cracker as yet just saying the word black will get you publicly executed. I don't care for racism and I don't think any race is inferior but if white people are stopping that doesn't mean that the other cultures should start.

 

[Dxz5roxg]

My friend isn't completely racist but he's not exactly an equal opportunity guy. Whenever he start getting racist I always feel uncomfortable so I just usually change the subject.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I guess you could say my grandmother, she hates asians or at least koreans, I think it's because in World War 2, her brother was shot down over the Korean sea...or at least over Korea, I don't remember.

 

[MasterOfWorlds]

I make racist jokes all the time, but I tell racist jokes about all races, including my own, so I think that makes it OK. XD

I'm an equal opportunity hater.

In all seriousness though, I have met a racist person. Got into a fist fight with him too. I didn't have any problem with him, he just called me over like he wanted to talk and started throwing punches. Said stuff like, "How do you like that, whitey?"

I beat him down. Not because he was black, but because he swung first. I tried to give him a chance. I let the first hit slide most of the time, and since he obviously had a problem with me, I figured that first swing might get it out of his system.

I was wrong.

So I cracked some of his ribs.

I don't think I've ever met a serious racist but I've met a few homophobes. It pisses me off because a few of my friends are gay. I was out on halloween 2 years ago when a guy asked me if I was gay (due to my pvc costume) and then was making homophobic comments. Rather than hit him I just loudly ranted at him for 5 minutes until he walked away, embarrassed
