Forums - General Discussion - Are you Racist and Why?

Of course. Everyone has racial prejudices, be them good or bad.

Every shy white teenager on this forum who dreams of Japanese/ Asian girls is racist, and so is everyone else on here.

I don't get along easily with the white folk, but in the end I end up making friends.

I would say it has much to do with growing up in a minority neighborhood, although I wouldn't change that for anything.

How is someone that is attracted to someone from another race racist?  Explain this one to me.

That depends on your definition of "racist".
If by "racist" you mean "hating an entire population group, just because of several, visible traits, and stereotyping", then no, i'm not racist.
If by racist you mean "accepting the facts that different 'races' are different, on average, on a variety of traits, just like different 'races' of dogs are different, such as black people being more violent, on average, and asians being smarter, on average" then yeah, of course i'm "racist" (although, that's called being a "race realist"), ignoring scientific facts for your beliefs on equality and shit like that is absurd and ignorant.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

yeah i also wonder. i don't know the english definition but in german i believe the definition is like:

"using the biological differences as defining factor to determine the humans possibilities and attributes and with that putting one race above another race"

or something like that. as example no one can't deny that on average, black americans have better physical possibilities if it comes to 100-metre dash than white americans. i would lie if i would say i think every race has the same possibilities there and not only i would lie, everyone would lie to say that just to be no racist. but if i would say they are better humans because of that i think that would be racist.

that's scientifically absurd and ignorant

first off, dog races often are clearly genetically different (some can't even produce fertile offspring with each other -> different species) , while humans from different ethnics can easily be genetically closer related than people of the same ethnic, so from a biological/scientific point of view there is only one human race



I am racist, This is going to sound stupid and everything.

The only race i don't like is aboriginals in Australia. Don't get me wrong i've met a few that have been OK people. But 9 times out of 10. They'll hassle you for money,your phone change anything you name it. If your by yourself and there's a group of them, my heart rate jumps to an extreme because i have been attacked by a group of them.

Every time, i see them their either drunk or looking for a fight. I know its stupid but that's how it is



Racism is the fact of using race to make choices about someone like for example how you deal with them, talk to them, and making decisions based on the color of their skin or based on their physical attributes.

However, there is one thing I accept to use race on: 1) The cultural awareness (a positive thing). 2) Using peoples' physical attributes for a sport, and the people end up being of a certain race by that selection factor, that is acceptable because the selection factor was physical capability.



I suggest trying the following very interesting test:

The results indicate that most white people prefer whites over blacks, even if they consider themselves to be not racist at all.
