Forums - Politics Discussion - Will The Shoe Be On The Other Foot Now?

It's no secret that being a White Heterosexual Christian Male was considered to be ideal just a couple of decades ago due to the fact that "memebers" of such a "group' had more rights than other people.

 

Nowadays everything has changed. Christianity is soon going to be overthrown as the worlds largest religion ( In terms of how many people practise such religion ) and movements such as feminism aim to make women equal to men ( Maybe even less ). Not to mention that there's nowadays a huge resentment to what was ounce considered normal.

 

So can it happean that a "Group" of people once so high and mighty will one day be resented by a lot of people and actually have less rights than any other "group" of people?

If this thread and post above isnt racist I dont know what is.

Is there any way to make "forum hot topics" not show all these non gameing related posts?



Maybe. I mostly get racial remarks and stares though by black people. I guess I need to take my black friend with me. I work in the Dallas fort worth area and don't feel very wanted when I'm working in the oak cliff area.

hmm, maybe it's more of an American thing since here in the UK I've never really seen much if any of the racist/homophobic stuff and we're a pretty nonreligious, comparatively speaking at least, nation too. So I'd say it's a good thing the Americans are finally catching up


We're very non religious, but a vocal group of us are very anti Muslim/Foreign. But they are mainly laughed at by the rest of us so I doubt that will catch any meaningful ground.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

it's not really a thing here either, it's just that the media and a certain political party thrive on dividing the public and creating hysteria/fear in order to advance an agenda.



Oh pls. That is the completely wrong mentality to have.
"We have less rights than we did before! We are being oppressed!"
We'll still have the same number of rights. And soon, other groups will RIGHTFULLY have the same access to those rights. I cringe every time somebody as lucky as I am (white/heterosexual/christian/male) pulls a victim complex out of their ass because "the immigrants are taking all of our jobs". Well guess what. Maybe, if somebody new to this country with poor english and no American/Canadian references gets the job you were going for; well maybe you're just a lazy and entitled sack of shit who needs to try harder.
Truth is our kids won't just be competing with the kids sitting in the desk next to them in school. They will be competing with other kids worldwide for those high-up jobs. So instead of us crying about it we should pull our pants up and start working harder, because you know what, this is how the world should work. Equality is paramount, and we're so used to being #1 that we think we're unlucky or oppressed when a different ethnicity or gender gets to do something we have always done. Gooby pls

I have never heard anyone complain about immigrants taking jobs, unless you're talking about the tech sector. It's illegal immigration that people have a problem with... and rightfully so. We are a sovereign nation with borders, and there are many foreign threats like terrorism, deadly diseases, criminals, gangs, etc. that we need to be aware of; we can't just let people in willy-nilly or else we don't have a country.

It's happened throughout history, look at the rise of Christianity in Rome.  That wasn't exactly a peaceful affair.  The only thing I hope has changed since then is the transition is much, much more peaceful.  No need to kill, or eradicate those who think differently.  



I have a stance against illegal immigration. Yep I'm talking about the exponentially expanding tech sector as well as the service sector/entrepreneurship. Where I grew up there were quite a few entitled teens who complained that Filipinos were taking all the service jobs for example. Also people who complained that immigrants were running the businesses instead of locals. Racist I know but it does exist
