Yes I saw that but I don't know why you're considering it to be racist. She said: "You're Mexican and I'm black, lets not act like a couple of white people"

Even the mention of skin colour today is considered racist.

Racsit?
Dough people? Attack of the racsit dough people? All sounds like a cheap horror film to me. She said "Dull white people" To be fair, I think it would have caused a bigger reaction if someone else on the show said "Dull black people" so perhaps it is classed as evidence of how the mention of black people is considered worse than that of whites. Saying that black/coloured/foreign people are more exciting/lead fun lives. And that an entire race is dull...would fall under the definition of racism. The only reason it's overlooked is mainly due to the fact that she only called white people "dull" which isn't all that offensive. |

Although in this case she didn't dislike a white person, but stuck a "dull" label on the entire white population of the planet. Which means she actually called me dull, without knowing a thing about me. And called all white members of this forum dull also. Which as I said, will be overlooked because it's not a very insulting word in todays world. Nowadays you have to swear or directly attack someone verbally to be considered insulting..and the word "dull" is rarely used when insulting someone. |

dupin thats so not true. if there was a fight involving a black and white over a ball the white person would be called racist for not letting them have there way.
ive been called racist for not giving a black peson some chips so race has nothing to do with it but whites are still being called racist. like supernoodles im SO sick of it |

i have a white cousin who lives in birmingham and we went on a night out about 6 months ago.Outside of a nightclub we witnessed an argument between a white girl and a black girl,police were trying to calm them both down but the argument continued and as it was not violent there was not much the police could do but tell them to stop.
Anyway the black girl called the white girl a snowflake,all the friends of the white girl started shouting at black girl calling her racist but niether the friedns or girl involved in the argument said anything racist back to the black girl.The police did nothing either and diddnt even acknowlede that the comment had been made. I thought this odd and so asked my cousin why the white girl and her friends diddnt say anything back to the black girl and she told me that if she were to call her,say a n***er for example then the police would lock her up in a cell for night.Yet they turned a blind eye to the snowflake comment. I think this is a disgrace |

Snowflake isn't exactly a common insult known throughout our community...
It's just a reference to something that is white, like white people are. So nothing would happen anyway. It's the equivalent of me calling a black person "SUNGLASSES!" just because sunglasses are usually black. It's a very random and lame attempt at an insult to be quite fair. Plus, the only way this can be fixed is through the government... Who will NEVER speak up about how black people get away with things, otherwise the person/people who spoke up would risk being branded racists themselves for mentioning black people in the first place. So we're stuck with how things are im afraid. |

You said she said "SNOWFLAKE" only. Sunglasses [a black item.] and snowflake [a white item.] are the equivalent of eachother. You can't just conveniantly insert several swear words and the term "white trash" afterwards and pass off what I said as invalid. |

=/ You're missing the point entirely.
Snowflake may be a racist term, but it's still a reference to a white object. Do you understand? SNOWFLAKES ARE WHITE that's why black people might call white people it. Which is the equivalent of me calling a black person sunglasses because THEY ARE BLACK. It's more than obvious that sunglasses isn't an established racist term. I really don't know why I bother talking to some of you, it's like communicating with a group of primary school kids. |
