    I would agree with that, although many countries' "cultrual norms" stem from whatever is the dominant organised religion of that country. And like you just said, some of those "norms" and customs are acceptable to me, whilst others are not. The ones that aren't acceptable to me are the ones that perpetuate intolerance and hatred for those who do not fit into the laws of that country's dominant organised religion.

    As for immigration, I'm against the lax laws in my country that doesn't do anywhere near enough to tackle illegal immigration, and also has no limits to the amount of immigrants allowed into the country. I have nothing against controlled and limited immigration, but the immigration situation in the UK at the moment terrible and chaotic. I do find it sad that you can't say anything remotely negative about immigration without being labelled a "racist".

    Racism is wrong and ignorant.

    I respect everyone until they give me a reason not to!

    If I was robbed by 15 black men, it would be THOSE 15 that I didn't "like" anymore. Not an entire population of people.

    well, it's hard to make an argument when i point out that years of research have led most all professionals in the field to come to a particular conclusion about how the human brain functions and your response is basically "psychology is an idiot."

    it doesn't mean you're an evil bastard who hates blacks or anything, just that the brain automatically compartmentalizes information in order to increase its capacity, and one way it does this is by grouping people together by major distinguishing characteristic, including skin color.

    People would like you more if you were not so overly critical about everything. :chillpill:

    The ancestral heritage of a person has little to do wether someone is racist or not. I think he is right.

    Yes, I will admit I am, as a result of experiences I have had with men from the Middle east, men from India and Asians. Yes I am racist. Life has made me thus. I call it an observation on behaviour, rather than a judgement. so....guess the observing of the race makes me want nothing to do with them??? Am I still racist? Jesus was racist too....He saw how evil the jews were and abused them for their behaviour. Not justifying it, just saying it's very hard not to be when you see the evil in the deeds.

    Yes it was Asmo, absolutely. He called them snakes and vipers, liars and hypocrits said they were like white washed tombs full of dead mens bones. He was referring to the Jews.

    I'm not rascist.
    I don't understand how a colour can be judged, whatever colour it is.
    I hate that some people can get an idea in their mind that makes them think everyone of a certain race is a certain way, it means they won't be able to look past that and see what the individual people are like, its sad.

    Jesus was a Jew himself however , so he couldn't of been racist . it's a religion not a race .Being a racist means you think your race is better than another or all . Because you prefer to stay with your own kind doesn't make you racist . It's normal people stick to what they know . So I don't think you're racist if you prefer your own kind.

    Jesus couldn't have been racist because he was Jewish?

    Rubbish statement.

    Jews are distinctly disimilar from their aligning provinces. They are indeed a race as well as a religion.

    Doesn't matter what race a person is, but what makes you a racesr is that your beliefs about others being based on their race.

    Jesus was anti-Semitic, despite being Jewish himself and being crowned "King of Jews"? That makes a lot of sense. Totally.
