I'm probably one of the only ones that'll say straight up that I'm a little bit racist. I mean, I don't TRY to be, I certainly don't WANT to be, and when it comes to science I really have no REASON to be....but I am. What can I say? I hate americans. Well, I hate the super patriotic "WOOHOO AMERICAAAAA YEAH!" types, the rednecks, the red-states, the republicans.

but that's not actually racist. See, being racist is hating someone or prematurely judging them becuase of a skin color or ethnicity. I don't hate them because they're american, I hate them becuase they're patriotic ignorant americans. I hate them for their behaviour and attitude, not their nationality. I don't automatically assume ALL americans are like that (though I fully admit that's my go-to response when first meeting an american...you're a hick until proven enlightened), but at the same time, it's not hard to stereotype.

I also have a thing against the dutch reformed populace in our town, though again that's not me hating them becuase they're dutch, I hate them becuase they're religious and very oppressive of the nontheistic in this town, and they're frankly the exact kind of ignorant religious extremists that I harp on about all the time. we have a town of 2000, and there's like 5 churches. If you're not religious, if you're not a God fearing dutch family with 13 kids (I kid you not, families of 8 or more is common here), you're scum.

so yeah, I'm alittle bit racist, but we all are. Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes. Doesn't mean you go around committing hate crimes.

i agree with you, i hate those super patriotic ignorant fools and bible bashing types. I also hate those Indians (from the country India, not native Americans) who force their kids to marry a complete stranger and disown them if they don't. it may be there culture, but arranged marriage is just wrong
