anyone here racist???

i try not to be. sometimes i'll find some insidious thought creeping through my brain and have to squash it because i know it's not right or true. i think that's the best i can do, considering the conditioning we all go through.

 

but...oh yeah...FUCK CANADA!

 

C'mon now, CANADA ROXX

I'm racist against car salesmen.

 

I'm Canadian, so hate me if you must. I'll still hold the door open for you, and I'll probably let you into traffic when you're sitting there, waiting for an opening.....You can't bring me down!

 

Racism. Sexism. Homophobia. it's all fear. It's all people who are different from you. That's diversity, that's life, that's living on planet earth. As the Bee gees said... "Ah Ah ah ah staying alive, staying alive".

 

Bullshit. A lot of it is based on fear, but not all of it.

Fear is a natural progression from ignorance. Just follow humans back to before we became 'self aware' like those robots in Terminator 2. As soon as two different types of animal rub shoulders with each other the very first thing they do is case each other out and decide who eats who. That's the basis of the food chain. The ironic thing is that racism is nothing to do with race at all but it's all about race not existing. I'm all for diversity. Imagine if there was only one species of flower or bird on the planet. But imagine if the world was made up of humans and grizzly bears. Could they live side by side in peace? No. In England we killed all the wolves and bears centuries ago, there are no dangerous animals left in England anymore, our ancestors learned that they were a threat to them and ther children and killed them and their families on sight.

 

sometimes the more you learn about a person, the more you dislike them. i suppose that would follow for other races as well.

 

Yes, but to group everything into one category is not only senseless, it's plain stupid.

 

I'm a racest and a bigot. I have something against humans. (I much prefer the company of animals.) I'm a bigot when it comes to in shape people running past places to buy food. (Go Eat!!) I'm prejudice. (I only where clothes that have lots of colors. (I don't want all black or all white.) I guess you want a serious answer to this response so here I go. I like all races until a person of said race does something negitive then I'm thinking,the c word, the n word, and some other choice words. (By the way, the c word could alot of things but it depends on the mood.) I feel you can be any skin color or race but if (I ) feel you deserved to be called a certain name then I will think it in my mind. I don't believe in the theory that you have to change words to fit certain races.I think a white can be called a spade just like a black could be called a cracker.(I know some of each that I could call both those tags if I could run fast but my foot hurts so I don't want to try that just yet.

 

Unfortunately categorisation is how humans understand the world. Charles Darwin was the first to categorise life on earth in order to understand why it is how it is:

"From 1831 to 1836 Darwin served as naturalist aboard the H.M.S. Beagle on a British science expedition around the world. In South America Darwin found fossils of extinct animals that were similar to modern species. On the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean he noticed many variations among plants and animals of the same general type as those in South America. The expedition visited places around the world, and Darwin studied plants and animals everywhere he went, collecting specimens for further study.

Upon his return to London Darwin conducted thorough research of his notes and specimens. Out of this study grew several related theories:

1) Evolution did occur
2) Evolutionary change was gradual, requiring thousands to millions of years
3) The primary mechanism for evolution was a process called natural selection, and
4) The millions of species alive today arose from a single original life form through a branching process called "specialization."

Darwin's theories of evolution and natural selection were bitterly opposed by the Church. However, the establishment never demonised him. He was respected as a painstaking and thorough scientist who was honestly driven by a wish to discover the truth. Though his work had a tremendous impact on religious thinking he managed to avoid talking about the theological significance of his theories.

Though the Church attacked him it was not an inquisition and there were other intellectuals - Huxley for instance - who gave him support. There are indications that the indifferent health Darwin suffered reflected the moral pressures he felt he was under and he got better when he was through with courting controversy. In the last years of his life he concentrated on botanical research and enjoyed some of the best health he had had since his youth."

ZZZZZZZ, oh, I'm sorry; I guess I must have dosed off a bit. (Dawin has that effect on me. ) Unless you are Darwin I think you are skirting the issue. (I'm prejudice against issue skirters but since I can be one of them then I won't be too hash.)

 

Race is a generalisation.

 

Do queers count as a race?

(Hint: Sarcasm)

 

i pick the kkk.ewww

 

I don't think it makes me racist, but little asian kids scare me

 

Race is a difference and differences are the antithesis of the internet.

 

I'm racist against racists.

Does the Bush administration count as a race?

 

AND I FUCKING LOVE CANADA. Pretty much ever Canadian I've ever met has been a really nice person (I'm not judging all of them, but...). I don't know about Alberta though... that province is a little nutty, IMO.
