It is fairly obvious. You have racist thoughts.

Casually throwing the R word around doesn't help anyone. You don't know her or what she thinks. You're going on a few lines of text.

I'm not necessarily saying you are a racist, just that it's a bit dumb to deny that Grimnir's post was. I don't exactly know why you're being so condescending either, having yet to even provide an argument yourself.

No, but SoBig did.

And why should I? I just proved people are too quick to judge.

Oh, she has a difference of opinion! Quick! Lets brand her a racist before I even hear what she has to say!

This is no place to have an intelligent discussion so I'll leave it there.

So explain to me how his post WAS NOT RACIST.

I'd love to hear your reasoning.

Do you not think it a bit hypocritical to criticise someone for being too quick to judge when your first post here accused people of using the word racism "to make themselves feel better than they actually are"? You didn't exactly foster much intelligent discussion yourself with that post

Nah. Know why? Nobody jumped on the "black people > white people" comment. Although it was most likely said in jest, that's beside the point. Grimnir was likely trying to provoke a reaction and he received a very typical response.

Also lostalex, just know we all came from Africa once upon a time. Some of us just decided we were sick of living in mud huts and making a bajillion babies we were unable to feed.

Hohoho that'll get their mouths foaming.

The fact that you all can't even agree on races. can someone please provide a list of the so-called "races" please?

What race am i? What race are you? IS english a race? british? European? White? what is race.

Someone please give me a list of these so called "races", cause i don't even know what "race" i am. I'd like to have a list to choose from, i guess race is a choice now?

"Race is classification of humans into large and distinct populations or groups by factors such as heritable phenotypic characteristics or geographic ancestry, but also often influenced by and correlated with traits such as appearance, culture, ethnicity, and socio-economic status."


Wow, that REALLY narrows it down....

Thank you for proving my point.

Which point would that have been exactly? It's so hard to keep up at times.

My point that there is no such thing as definitive "races".

One thing I do agree with you is the whole race thing is bs. Race is something man came up with to separate people in groups.

there are not concrete nationalities, ethnicities or races. sorry, but it's just false.

Jersey Shore? are they Italian? are they White? are they American?

It's all stupid choices to segregate yourself.

If you believe you have a race than you are voluntarily participating in segregation.

white is a race? So then why is it called "racism" when people discriminate against Mexicans? Mexico is a majority WHITE european race country, but it's called racism if you don't like mexicans.

explain that to me.

or when the Nazi's killed the jews. the jews were white, but it's called racism...???

or when south africans kill zimbaweans, they are both black, but it's called racism...

i don't understand.
