I'm not racist....

[TheAvenger]

...I hate everyone

People say that I am likable and outgoing, I speak well in public and I meet people easily. I hate groups of people though, I hate them. It seems like when every people are in a group they just become 10 times more stupid. Is this just me?

another thing (feel like ranting)

I generalize, about men, women, blacks, whites, asians, you name it I catagorize. If the catagory has more than 51% that are like that then it fits that is why it is a generalization; when you generalize you are of course saying "not everyone is like this, but in my experiences, more often than not this is the case." People seem to think that if you say "black people have curly hair" or "
Asian men are short," or "white people have no rythm" you are racist.

am i alone?

Yeah.. It all depends on how you interpret what you say as. Being called "White Boy" is a racist term but as a description, calling someone white is no different then calling them Caucasion.

Its a simple equation really. Take the IQ of the dumbest person in the group, and that becomes the group's collective IQ

I(g) = I (dmbr)

Generally speaking, based on your generalization, you could be called 'racist'

LOL!!

I know exactly what you mean. I may have friends of that race, but when you see something that fits a generalization, it makes you think. Im a minority and can tell whether someone is a racist.

 

[Triumph]

no, don't worry. everybody generalizes. EVERYBODY. and this goes for everyone.

I, personally, am a whiteboy and proud of it.

I don't mind being called white boy. Just as long as they don't mind being called black men. :frown:

It's like the movie &quot;White Men Can't Jump&quot; everybody goes haha and I'm ok with that, then if I made one called &quot;Black Men Can't Play Polo&quot; we would have marches for weeks... it's just rediculous that we can't ignore all those little things ya know?

 

[yellowperil]

The problem with the 51% thing is that you have to sample the entire population to say it is indeed the majority

 

[Maetryx]

Maetryx here,

Read this other topic I posted a week or so ago for a stimulating discussion on race relations. I actually mention in my original post that people feel compelled to start letters or posts with &quot;I'm not a racist, but...&quot;

 

[TheAvenger]

there was no &quot;but&quot; in my statement. I said it without fear of reproach.

<< ts a simple equation really. Take the IQ of the dumbest person in the group, and that becomes the group's >>



Actually I thought it was take the IQ of the dumbest person and divide it by the number of people in the group.

I(g) = [I(dmbr)]/(g)

TRUE STORY-> I was almost kicked off the newspaper staff in HS because when a lady of color was laughing about that movie I pointed out that I could also be a funny movie to have BACK MEN CAN&quot;T SWIM. I pointed out that in the olympics the majority of swimmers were WHITE I got in alot off trouble. I was told to appologize and I asked what the difference between my generalization and hers was she informed me that I was a RASCIST. I told the teacher That I would not appologize for my statement TO HER. Heedless to say what I thought would be a harmless comment on social thought turned in to ME being the bad guy.

What pisses me off is some blacks are still trying to get retribution from the government for the whole slavery thing. They even brought in psychologists to legitimize some sort of post-slavery trauma syndrome or BS like that...

Well, I'm Chinese, and in the 1800's no one got screwed over by you're-a-peein's more than us, and then my ancestors were brought over by the scores build the damn railroad...

Point is, terrible things happened that we should all remember, but as far as doing something about it, people can just be plain old gold-diggin pricks...

What ticks me off is there ain't no good Kung Fu movies being made here lately. What's the problem?

My great great grandpa from Ireland had to do the same damn thing...

nope, that a specific one -- use it for politicians only.

 

[tkdkid]

Why can't I be rude to black people? Why is that? Most seem to walk around all high and mighty like now nobody can do anything to them. And I am so pissed at the majority of them that walk in the middle of the parking lot lanes at all of a tenth of a mile an hour, totally ignoring any traffic trying to get by.

I should be able to yell at a stupid black person the same way I would yell at a stupid white person. But I can't...because like a hundred years ago some people who aren't related to me made some people who aren't related to them slaves.

Whatever.

If they are always striving for equality then they should be treated as equals.
