are you racist?

no poll, no bullshit...be honest...are you racist?

america was founded on racism...anyone here break that mold?

 

I'm definitely not racist.
I'm half "native american" half irish/german

so wtf.............

we're all monkeys, in my book

 

I'm not, but.

 

All races are generally subject to my humour, including white people, those imperialistic fucks.

 

not in my ideals, but everyone has some prejudices in them, whether its conscious or not, and its likely everyone has at least a few preconceived notions about some other ethnicities or nationalities...not necessarily negative views even, but some racial prejudices of some sort.

i dont feel i treat people any differently because of ethnicity on a personal level, and i dont think i'm racist or hateful.

but yeah, i do have some prejudices. sometimes they involve ethnicity. sometimes they're positive, sometimes not.

but i try not to let it interfere with how i treat someone as a human being. i do understand nobody is inferior because of ethnicity.

 

oh yeah, the least racist of the races

meh, i try not to be, but schemas exist for a valid reason... so it does take me slightly longer to trust someone from a race that traditionally hates me and wants to take advantage of me due to the color of my skin than someone from my own race.

 

I'm pretty accepting of everyone but the Yids.

 

LOL

Who are Yids????

 

dont go around calling people racists when u dont know them...america wasnt found on racism, thats a fallacy

 

No. I'm not racist.

I did have an interesting thought pop up a while ago. And it involves me admitting I buy ecstasy.

So I was buying ecstasy from a work friend. He's a Cambodian guy. I was asking him about it. I didn't really think much about it. And then he said he was getting it from his Asian friends.

And I thought to myself "I didn't think the Asians dealt many drugs."

Then I caught myself. I suspect its a pretty cliche media induced stereotype I had. I wouldn't think I would have it. I lived with a Burmese family for a while. And my best friend was Asian...

Asians are a pretty hip people. But there you go. I'm certainly not racist. But I do have more to learn about other cultures. And I suspect some of my gut reactions are based more on media induced perceptions than reality.

 

:cheers2:

Jews.
because I'm half Jew, y'see.

now that I think of it "Yid" should only apply to Ashkenazim because it's obviously derived from "Yiddish".

 

damn straight. america was founded on religious intolerance...

 

Since I am Alien, I suffer everyday..

Words hurt...

 

my best drug dealer ever was korean

 

nah, I don't think I am.

 

that's interesting, I had a pretty similar experience.
last month I was chilling with these Chicago kids I didn't really know and a couple guys were talking about some acid head they knew, and after one of them remarked that he was Jewish the other guy said "wow, that's really unusual for a Jew to take acid". I informed him that this was incorrect and he seemed pissed off.

 

ha, every jew i've met does a lot of drugs actually.

granted, that comes down to about 5 people, but still.

 

bah. I hate to stereotype, but most Jews I've met are either docile and neurotic or total deviants.

 

I've got absolutely nothing against niggers.

A ****** actually bummed a cigarette off me today.

He sure did seem like a nice ******.

 

To me the really interesting thing was that I still had those kinda perceptions.

And after discovering I do, and their just kinda subversive, I assume everyone does.

Cause I'm an almost christlike man... and if I do... :biggrin:

I think a lot of people have kinda secret bigotries too. Things that aren't on the surface, but kinda underneath the skin.

Most Americans have a strong amygdala response to seeing pictures of black peoples faces. It's probably a culturally induced psychological response.
