+381 The true racism in the modern day comes from how we are forced to tread on eggshells around minorities so as not to offend them, lest they cry racism, amirite?

I don't bother trying to avoid saying things that could sound racist because I'm not a racist. If someone tells me I am one it doesn't bother me because I'm not a racist and can explain what I meant.

"Do you see that black girl over there?" "OMG YOU RACIST." "No, I was describing what she looked like." And we have Black Entertainment Television [something like that], black-only scholarships, black-only schools, etc. By not being racist, we're being racist.

firstly black entertainment television is only one channel where black people can watch shows they would enjoy where as other channels don't necessarily put on shows starring black people and nest, there's no such thing as a black only school. Historically black colleges and universities (HBCU's) were started because white people wouldn't let black people into college so they started their own, but anbody was allowed to attend. Get your facts straight :)

Times have changed. We should be above this.

you're right we should be. But just because things have changed within our country, black ppl should get rid of the things that give them history?

you guys, no matter what race, are all fucked up. race should be acknowledged but not discriminated or used to get what you want. we should be colored blind but ONLY when it comes to school, jobs, ect. we're aloud to take pride in our race and celebrate it but we shouldn't use it to get what we want.

Yesterday someone in my class said that Asians are crazy. My friend has a classmate who said Asians should go back to Asia. My classmate said that all minorities are poor, get pregnant, smoke and do drugs. One of my old principals said Asians were stupid. My 'friend' thinks Asians suck, my other 'friend' thinks Asians are ugly. Family Guy constantly makes jokes about Asians, Jews and Blacks (not really that much about Whites). In movies, Asians are (usually) either gay --not that anything is wrong with being it's just not every Asian guy is gay-- (Sex and the City, He's Just Not That Into You), ugly (Clueless), or sucks up/loses to other races (Karate Kid 1-2-3, the Last Samurai) Clearly this post isn't as valid as you think it is. Before you say anything, you need to take a good look at all the racial implications on Asians present in American media. Clearly not all White people are racist, but we do have reasons to accuse some people of being racist. PS: No, I have no personal ve...

I think people are losing the meaning of the word "racist" and mixing it up with words like "generalization" or "prejudice". To be racist, one would have to insult someone of a different race with an insult pertaining to that race. Or one needs to feel that their race is better than another because of physical characteristics or stereotypes. Ex. All black people are cotton picking idiots. That is a racist statement. ^ Ex. Mexicans have good hair. That is a generalization. ^

I'm tired of everyone calling each other racist. Just today, I heard a group of people calling each other racist because it's thrown around so much it's become a joke. Racism is a serious problem, but you can't use it to justify your anger. I overheard people the other day, all white, talking. One got offended, and called the other two racist against her hair color. That doesn't even make SENSE. I actually know people who don't even know what it means, because it's barely ever used properly. Every race has racists. There are Asians who think other races are stupid, white people who think Asians are ugly and black people are violent, poor, and moronic, and black people who think everyone else are elitists. I know this doesn't exactly go along with the post, but people have been pissing me off about this.

I'm black and one of my friends insists of referring to other black people as "your colour" because she seems to think saying "black" is racist...it clearly isn't. This really pisses me off, just say black FFS.
