Well articulated. I hate how talking heads/political figures/etc. are always shouting about how we need to "have an honest talk about racism; we have to talk honestly about race, race race race" til they're blue in the face, but every time an actual dialogue starts, in pop all the PC hall monitors to make sure everything goes according to a preapproved script. Everyone ends up shouting over each other indignantly but nobody really says anything. Because they've been conditioned not to... This video says it all to me... Although certainly a few monsters have been offended by it |

I'm racist, but not in a bad way. I just feel you can learn a lot about people through race. I'm not afraid of the subject. I don't feel it's ever beneficial to a person to be afraid or sensitive about anything. Sure, you can use diplomacy and discretion when need be, but if you're a good person and genuinely try hard to do the right, then why should you be afraid of or sensitive to anything? Don't let somebody else's negativite feelings create negative feelings in you - you're doing yourself a great disservice if you do so. It's called being insecure, and that's not good. I feel that focusing on race too much though, whether it be not hiring someone or not selling them a house because you don't want those people in your work place or neighborhood, or wanting to meet the criteria of what you feel is racial balance in the work place or college is also racism (affirmative action) - those people you select are called tokens. And that also is not a good thing. |

you are only including one part of racism in your definition, which is actively seeking to undermine the rights of another race racism can be strictly ideological and it can be strictly based on stereotyping imo anyway... based on the way the word is actually defined. Quote:
to be fair i'll say that you are right though that just guessing that using statistics to guess the race of a person isn't necessarily racist but i just disagreed with what you said about how you actually define racism dunno why i was so antagonistic about it though... i honestly barely remember making that post so my apologies in that regard |

I can see what you're saying. I will however say that what I was talking about is a harmless observation. I'd say that it can be directly related to where they live in the example I was talking about. Have you ever seen videos of traffic in Asia? India and China have some of the most dangerous driving conditions on the planet besides Russia. It's the wild west out there. I think they're regarded as bad drivers because they brought those driving habits over. I'd call that geographical observation at the most.
I'm really stretching that example out but that's how I honestly see it. I like people. I could care less what they look like. I just see patterns and race can sometimes fall into those patterns. |
