Someone accused me of being racist yesterday, on the assumption that "everybody is somehow racist" and because I'm afraid of "the negative connotations associated with the word 'racist'". Dumbest thing I've ever heard. I'm not racist and I don't favour one race over another.
i've never once met a non-racist person. i think i'm right. some are nicer, but most have something wrong.
I can guarantee I have not one racist bone in my body. Infact I find it horrid you imagine somebody has to have one in them. Explain.
Well that settles it. You should meet me and I'll prove the exception to a rule. I can't think of a single time that I preferred one race over another or acted in a racist manner. I can't think of any thought that I have ever had to discriminate against a person because of their race. The only jokes I make are about the Dutch and Newfies.
Now that's a difficult question. A product of my upbringing, the media, my education, the way history is taught. I really go out of my way to treat everybody equally and have travelled and lived in a variety of countries, shared houses with people from every race there is, yet every now and then I find myself making assumptions based on race. I don't let these run my life and when I find myself doing it, I reassess the situation, but I wonder how many times do I subconsciously allow racial differences to influence my thinking. I'm willing to bet that it's more often than I would like to admit.
Meh..I'm not racist, I hate people for their insides and when they open their mouths.. Just like I don't hate obese, skinny, short, tall, big boobed, small boobed, no teeth, rotten teeth, limbless, has a tail... Once they open their mouth, it's fair game though...
i don't think a persona HAS TO have one. i've just seen too many people fuck up. some are nice, and it's accidental, they don't even know it's there. some deal with it better once it's shown up. but it's there. it's some wierd thing from a sandbox sort of experience.
lol. i'm just in despair over it. i'm not trying to be mean, i'm just incredibly sad. it seems people are much in denial. i've always ended up disappointed.
you know, it's probably why i like curmudgeons and misanthropes so much. you know, know deep down, they don't like anyone, they're truly impartial. they show favor to no one. which is it's own flavor of racism.
