Forums - General - Are you Racist and Why?

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.

what, thast you are Romanian? xD :P
i wasnt too serious dude
read my second comment


I assume you live in England? I can see why you might have a poor opinion of Romanians based on what gypsies do in England, but that's a small portion of the population that sererates themselves from even the Romanian population back home. 



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

Actually i hate all races
white caucasians included
i just hate criminals and bad people

I guess you'd be considered... normal.

Quick tip: Nobody who's racist actually thinks they're racist. It's always a matter of "well in my experience" or "but it's the truth" in their eyes. I've met dozens of racist people (my parents being some of them, even some of my best friends were racist, in a more subtle way towards very specific groups), and none of them actually think they're racist.

I had one friend who, I'm kidding you not, once said, "I'm not racist, but those fucking indians are all drunks." I laughed because he just couldn't understand what was wrong about his statement.

My dad's the worst though. He honestly thinks that the "Ragheads" are all trying to slowly infiltrate our (Canadian) government and force us to adopt their laws and customs...so they can take over and kill us all. I wish I was kidding. his proof? he heard it on some Talk Radio show when he was trucking....and he believed it because HIS trucking company (all whites) had to have limiters on their trucks, but the 'ragheads' were able to drive faster. in his mind this meant that they got special legal exceptions, and the only possible explanation was a conspiracy.

My father is a practical man, more than capable of holding his own when it comes to manly things like auto mechanic stuff, carpentry, or plumbing (you know, man jobs), but he's kind of retarded otherwise.

Don't be blinded by political correctness. The goal of quran believing muslims is world domination by any means necessary and they are actively working towards that.

It's the opposite with my experience with racists. They know they're racists and they accept being called 'racists'. They still say things like "from my experience". They just don't attribute the irrational and unjustifiable connotation to the term 'racism'. They see racism as a rational, justifiable, and acceptable belief. I think the difference between the racists I've met and the racists you've met is that the ones you've met see racism as being inherently bad/wrong and therefore stray away from the term no matter how racist they actually are. In contrast, the racists I've met believe racism is justifiable and therefore embrace the term.

@ NintendoPie (sorry I can't quote for some stupid reason)

lol. Yeah I was expecting people comment with some unflattering remarks for what I said but it's the truth. My cousin released a photo that had a hand holding an "expired race card" next to a candle; burning. I don't know if he still has it.



No I'm not. I judge people off of there actions and personality. I don't care what race, sex, sexuality or age you are. If your a good person, your a good person.

 

Hold up I lied, I hate Fuggin Spiders. The way they walk and stalk sh-t. Mutha's are up to something all the time. They are very suspect and Should not be trusted.  Fuggers



I'm rasist... I voted for Obama because he was half White.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

To quote one of the funniest musicals of the last decade, everyone's a little bit racist. Doesn't matter how old you are, what sex, what race, everyone has some sort of preconceived notion in regards to race. It's not necessarily on purpose or something intentional. Many are raised in communities that are predominantly one race or another. Even Hawaii, the poster child of a so called "post racial" America has it's share of racism undertones in it's local culture, even though most of it's population have lived in mixed race communities for generations. It's just human nature.

What's important, what matters, is how we act towards others. How we treat them. We need to respect our fellow man regardless of race, THAT'S what's important.
