Default Racism (Yeah, that's right: I'm callin' it!)
Oddly, though we talk about and dance around the subject, I don't remember or can't find a thread dedicated to a discussion about racism, so here's one.

LARGE DISCLAIMER: RACISM IS WRONG IN EVERY INSTANCE. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES. THIS NEEDS TO BE UNDERSTOOD IN CASE ANYONE THINKS I'M CONDONING, ADVOCATING OR EXCUSING SAME.

That said, you may all be surprised to hear that I was once a racist. Or you may not be surprised. I don't know. I was young. I'll talk more about this later.

For now, feel free to discuss your opinion of racism (black, white, Asian, LBTGQ, whatever) here. Let's have a proper discussion about the subject we all tend to shy a little away from.

And if you don't take part, you're racist.

A guy from a historically isolated and demographically stagnant island was a racist? Shock. Gasp. Vomit.

If you prefer to Editor's Choice it, so you can mod it properly, I'm ok with that. I guess it could get quite heated and we don't want another Trump thread closure scenario. Hopefully though people will behave. Maybe Batty also.

What's the main prejudice in Ireland, anyone? Even today. A chocolate cat to anyone who can come up with the answer. You'll never get it.

Just how racist are the Japs and will they one day break away from America's yoke and become dickbags again?

I think this whole bowing down, honourable sort of thing makes it hard to see Japs being racist, at least outside their country, but if there's one man who can tell us, well I'll give you a clue: he is another in our ever-growing army of Dr. Phils....
