Are you racist?

[Lordwafik]

I dont know if this is racist or not, but westerners (white people) I wouldnt try to hurt them, i wouldn't be mean to them, but i just stay away from them. I got used to it, they look at me weird, and i look at them weird too. Well, they look at me weird when they find out im arab. I have to say not all of them are like that, but most of them are, atleast in this part of the world.

A while ago I used to be like that, when I started playing FFXI I wouldnt dare tell a soul that I was arabic because I didn't wanna deal with the OMG UR A TERRORIST song and dance, but now a day I don't care, if someone asks, I'll answer, and if they do treat me differently then I feel I am better off not knowing them because they are too ignorant to see people are just people.

[Dezzimal]

A little bit. Someone's nationality/race is an easy target to curse when you're pissed off.

There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on niggers, kikes, wops or greasers. Here, you are all equally worthless.

[Not Kuno]

I'm not really all that racist, but I do love making ww2/black people jokes. Not sure if that counts since I don't really dislike them.

[Reapz]

OMG IM A TERRORIST

OMGWAFAK

I really just hate people who are assholes. Aslong as your not an asshole we are cool.

Seconded, colour doesnt bother me

If Chav was a race, I'd be really racist. As it stands though, I don't hate anyone purely because of their colour/race especially if I don't know them. The hatred comes from getting to know them and learning what fucking idiots they are. But I do admit, sometimes I jump the gun and judge people by how they dress or act without getting to properly know them, but I can't do anything about that. It just happens. I do make racial jokes, but only when I know the boundaries, if it's around friends or people I generally don't care about I'll do it.

I guess ultimately though I am racist, in ways I can't really explain. Doesn't make me act differently because of race, it's just stupid things that run through my mind whenever I see someone. Like if I see a black man at a chicken shop eating nuggets I giggle like shit on the inside.

Indian people on call centers. These annoy me to no end because my ISP decided to outsource it's helpdesk, to people I can't understand, who can barely understand what I am talking about - the other day I called them telling me my modem lights aren't flashing at all, the cable is dead, they told me that routers aren't supported by my ISP and if I unplug it the problem will resolve.
It's not their fault I know, but I just hang up when I hear an indian on the phone, or ask to be transferred to an australian person, because I'd actually like help for my internet.

I just have to say I totally agree with this 100%. My company uses IBM exclusively for all our IT service and support and all of their call centers are in India, so whenever we need service I have to talk to these people. They can barely speak or understand English, and almost always tell the technicians the wrong thing, so they end up not being prepared most of the time. Thank God most of our service calls can be made online now.

I'm racist against Americans who think it's a good idea to drive an SUV around with a cellphone in one hand, a cup of coffee in the other, and a jumbo fucking cruller shoved up their motherfucking noses.

I seriously need to get a sign made that says simply: "GET OFF THE PHONE AND DRIVE, ASSHOLE!"

[Stolin]

I have prejudices against any Japanese person I meet in FFXI. If I meet a JP person online, they have to prove to me in some way they aren't one of the "JP only douchington" types before I'd even acknowledge them. Its not hard to persuade my attitude towards a Japanese person, but I definitely have prejudices against them.

[Max™]

OMG, I also forgot I'm racist against hume females, because I hate the way they always wind up going the same way I am, but a step and a half ahead of me, doing that stupid goddamn bounce/lag/run stutter step, in those ridiculous cooch shorts, wearing no-doubt lootwhored gear.

No offense if you're a hume female and actually cool, I just hate the way your character runs, and have met an absurd amount of hume F lootwhores.

[Norelco]

I tend to stereotype alot. I clicked yes. Sorry.

[Max™]

I tend to stereotype alot. I clicked yes. Sorry.

I'm racist against closeted self hating racists, now.

[sunb1ind]

This is not a cop out, it is a statement of fact.

No, it's a cop out. If you were looking for a term to state that you just hate ignorant people, you could state "I hate ignorant people", and it wouldn't have to bring up a race in the slightest. Hell, at least sath actually included the others. The fact that the racist question automatically brought up the canned response in regards to just black people when there are hispanics, asians, white trash etc already proves you're just being a regurgitating tard or are just predisposed to judging people not based on their lackings as a human being in general but rather their lackings as a human being in regards to their race. As a result, you're racist.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're warming up the noose and finding some matchlight and a cross but seriously now, find new material.

Exactly. These socially inept kids who go throwing around the word nigger like its a fucking riot on the forums are a bunch of tools that have no idea how to act in the real world. Justifying your reason for joking about that shit is only an example of your closet racism.

Sath is just a fucking asshole who thinks its ok to judge who I am(over a fucking internet forum) to fit into his own arguments and further support others who use "nigger" to be funny. The dude thinks I'm a white kid who tries to act cool by listening to rap. Wake up man, this isnt the 90's anymore, everyone and their grandma listens to rap now, that doesn't mean they're trying to act black.

No, I'm not a racist. The fact that this question is still being asked shows just how far we still have to go in society. With all the advances in DNA that have already disproved any sort of difference between races, other than physical attributes, its ridiculous to even be mentioning you hate "ignorant blacks, hispanics, etc.". I came across an headline recently that confirmed all humans originated from the continent of Africa, through DNA research. Not that many educated beliefs disagreed with it, but there you go, scientific fact.

With all the advances in DNA that have already disproved any sort of difference between races, other than physical attributes

Rofl, I sure wish I had some of that black guy DNA so I could please my woman with my cock, and some mexican DNA to build me a house would rock too, oh, and I'd like some Chinese DNA to do my taxes while I'm at it, to go along with my European DNA giving me a resistance to eating horrifying amounts of fat, and my Indian DNA giving me sturdy legs for running and riding horses.

[Denchi]

I hate Mexicans that live in the US for the most part. I mean.... as with anything I hate, I give people the benefit of the doubt. I don't hate you until you personally piss me off. But for the same reason as the guy from CA, I'm in AZ right now, which is basically Mexico.

But I went to Mexico last summer and met some fucking cool Mexicans, and they all had bad things to say about Mexicans in America too, they think they give Mexico a bad name. So yeah, I'm probably a little racist, but like everyone has said here, it's not the race itself that bothers me, it's all the other subculture stuff

[Max™]

Man, I went back to Dallas after living in Louisville for like 5 years, and Memphis for 2, and my GOD that is an apt observation saying it's like Mexico basically.

I remember the little whitebread neighborhood of Lewisville I grew up in, and the couple of Mexican blocks, and now it's a Mexican neighborhood, with a couple of whitebread blocks.

[Obev]

To admit that i'm racist would be acknowledging the myth that there are distinct human races.

^- this. I don't hate people 'til they've done something worthy of provoking my distaste. I wish I was better at applying the same concept to cultures and religions; I still have problems taking evangelical [insert religion here]s seriously, even if I've never held a conversation with them. I try, but usually end up being a total dickwad to them, even if we're not talking about religion. I feel guilty about doing so, but then religion is a choice to be made whereas the colour of one's skin is not, so I suppose I'm on a lower tier of bigotry.

[Demosthenes11]

pretty sure I pass the same judgment on black people as I do girls that start telling me how cool cheerleading was/is - it's not a race things, it's an experience thing. You're damn right I'm going to group people based on patterns and personal experience, but those things aren't stone. I'm not gonna hate ever mexican I see (fuck california) - I am going to judge you initially, and then if I meet you I'm going to make another judgement. If you are talking about how cool cars are and how you "souped up" your honda civic, I'm going to think you are a fucking moron. Once I meet you my perception of you will most likely change but until that I am going to call you a fuckwad simply because 90% of the people I meet talking about their "sick honda civic" are fuckwads. Hell, I pass judgment on my own family - the family I haven't met. You're damn right I'm going to assume they are lazy fat fucks living in Oregon because well, most of my family are lazy fat fucks that live in oregon.

I guess it's somewhat a race issue? It's not what judging you is about to me though

[Turambar]

I don't think I'm racist, but I do use racial slurs when driving. It just amazes me how many white, hispanic, and asian niggers there are on the road sometimes.

[Darus Grey]

With all the advances in DNA that have already disproved any sort of difference between races

Actually scientists have recently discovered a pattern thats headed toward a genetic shift that will (eventually) cause humanity to shift into two different races.

3k+ yrs of rich powerful white people breeding with only other rich powerful white people is moving in that direction.

"The new white man" is an eventual reality, and his weakness is gourmet cheese.


Also did people seriously just ignore my post =/? You people who get offended by Nigger are just as guilty as the people who use it, in perpetuating the use of it. When you empower the word by reacting to it, you are perpetuating it. No one will use a word with no power.

Every-time I teach this subject I get 1 or 2 people who will simply walk out of class in disgust because they simply can't grasp this concept, and it saddens me immensely.

Hell does anyone read/watch the boondocks? Aaron McGruder knows this and it's frequently the focus of his work, to over-use Nigger so much that it loses it's purpose.

[SchuldigGER]

Hateing ppl that represent a certain livestyle is pretty normal and not Racist, while hateing ppl for their skincolor, speech or we is just fucking dumb and ppl that judge by those standarts they set them selfs should be shot.
