Check your privilege cisethnic scum.

[Blubbartron]

Absolutely false. Your statement makes the assumption that the systems that exist in place are already such that would allow equal treatment of all. This is not even remotely the case. When the system is set up to benefit you, in order to counter that, you should not be allowed to do something that other races can do. This HAS to continue until the entire systematic way that is in place is changed.

If all were treated equally and the system was still designed to privilege one race over the others, then that race would not be equal to the rest but instead above them.

You heard it here first, folks - the answer to racism is obviously more racism.

Holy fuck you're an idiot. Reread your own post. You are against racism yet this says that you're not only 100% alright with it, but that it must continue. So long as it affects the people that the system benefits. Educate yourself hypocrite. Learn what racism means before you go tossing it out there because son, you're racist. And you don't even seem to realize it.

All you're doing at this point is making yourself look like more of an ass.

This is why we cannot have nice things.

So do you also not object to whites wearing Native American costumes for Halloween? Do you think it's unreasonable to get offended at the fact that someone, whose ancestors were responsible for the genocide of your people and theft of your land, has now decided to wear something of your culture for the purpose of amusing themselves and their friends?

I love this because it assumes theres only one massive group of white people. I'm white as fuck, but my family didn't come to America until the 1900s, so my ancestors didn't do shit to them, thank you. lol

[archibaldcrane]

Let's not pretend that demeaning Japanese women isn't par for the course in Japan. Hell, doing so is a celebration of their culture, women are a permanent underclass there.

Doesn't matter. You're white.

you're on the "winning team" i'm told and clearly you're a monster and a member of the monster team at large terrorizing everyone past, present, and future. My maternal great grandmother's family came here in 1911 and even then we were a bunch of segregated poor polish folk so I too roll my eyes at the suggestion "I've" been keeping down other african-american and asian-american communities.

If I could though, i would oppress the shit out of Mazmaz

[zoobernut]

Mazmaz is beyond response. If you can't even see that you proved everyone's point in your own post then I don't think anything will convince you. Culture and race are two different things.

Here is a hypothetical for you Maz. A white baby is adopted by a Japanese couple at a very young age and grows up in Japan. That baby when an adult partakes in Japanese culture and heritage and wears the clothing and does everything as though they were Japanese. Is that person racist because they are not Asian?

Edit: To answer your question Maz no none of the scenarios you described are Racist they may be insensitive. They may offend someone, but there are so many people in the world now that no matter what you do you will offend someone.

Second Edit: I am taking the scenarios described at face value and not adding anything into it. Any of those scenarios could become racist but not based on the clothing those people are wearing but their behavior and words they use. Katy Perry was not pushing negative stereo types of a person/s she was not demeaning any group of people, she was not claiming superiority over any group of people, she was showing her appreciation for a culture.

And quite frankly, if the person who is doing it isn't doing it to mock (Katy Perry is obsessed with Japan), then I say it's a healthy thing to bridge these cultures. If my daughter decides Harriet Tubman is her hero, and wants to dress up like her for Halloween or a play or whatever, you think I'd squash that by saying, "honey you aren't black you can't dress up as your hero." Fuck. That. I would be super proud she picked such a great person.

A Pizza Hut manager has been fired after refusing to open the restaurant on Thanksgiving Day. According to WSTB, Tony Rohr worked at the pizza chain for 10 years -- starting out as a cook before working his way up to being the manager of the Elkhart, Ind., location -- before being fired.

As WSTB reports, Rohr says he was told at a meeting with his bosses that opening on Thanksgiving was mandatory this year. "I said, 'Why can't we be the company that stands up and says we care about our employees, and they can have the day off?'" Rohr told WSTB. "Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only two days that they're closed in the whole year, and they're the only two days that those people are guaranteed to have off and spend it with their families."
According to WSTB, Rohr’s bosses at Pizza Hut said he could sign a letter of resignation for his refusal to open the restaurant on Thanksgiving.
“I do not resign,” Rohr wrote in a letter to his boss. “However, I accept that the refusal to comply with this greedy, immoral request means the end of my tenure with this company." He added, "I hope you realize that it is the people at the bottom of the totem pole that make your life possible."

Rohr is still unemployed and looking for a job, WSTB said. He plans on spending the Thanksgiving holiday with his girlfriend and parents in South Bend.
"They're still going to be open,” Rohr said. “I'm sure they're still going to sell pizza, but I just didn't think it was right."
WSTB spoke to the director of operations for the Pizza Hut location Rohr worked at, and he told them that Rohr quit, and did not get fired.
Pizza Hut joins a growing list of companies -- including Walmart, Target, Macy’s, Best Buy, Toys “R” Us, JC Penny, Kmart, Sears, Gap and Lord & Taylor -- which will be open to shoppers at some point on Thanksgiving Day.

Co-worker of mine showed me the video on World Star of this chick getting the shit knocked out of her and the rumor mill on Twitter exploding with reports of the assailant getting arrested.

http://www.ibtimes.com/sharkeisha-ar...photos-1488616

"Sharkeisha" became the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter in the U.S. on Wednesday, after video of a young woman sucker-punching another woman in the middle of an argument went viral on Instagram and other social media sites.

And there may be a new twist in the case of the hard-fisted fighter, as unconfirmed reports alleging that the assailant has been arrested and supposed mugshots of the woman the world has come to know as "Sharkeisha" are swirling online.

[Tyrath]

It would be less racist than if a white person did it, probably to the point where it is not worth mentioning, though I could be wrong about that.

Yeah, no. You can't have varying degree of racism based on someone's skin color. THAT is fucking racist.

[archibaldcrane]

It's called shadeism.

If they're putting pizza hut on that list then Starbucks ought to be as well I guess. Though my particular store closed at 4pm and I got some time and a half pay for it. I had it easy compared to a lot of people who got shit on by the aforementioned companies, not to mention working with two of my closest friends.

Meh. The trend really is ridiculous. I especially hate people that come in and thank me for working, lol? Such a stupid gesture I don't understand how I'm supposed to respond.
