I think you're mistaking tolerance for disappearance.

isn't what you're describing elitist? i would think idiotist would be discriminating against intelligent people while being an idiot

I would think an elitist would discriminate against those "inferior" to the discriminator. Like lower IQs or lower "education" level or lower income.

There's a difference between racism and discrimination. Am I racist? No. Do I discriminate? Hell fvcking yes.

well if its racial discrimination then its racist
otherwise its sexist
or ageist
or elitist
or nepotist

/get the gist of ist?

Not exactly. If I see 50,000 people of a specific race do the same thing, one after another, expecting the 50,001st person do to the same thing the previous 50,000 did is being racist? 😕

Minorities have jobs down here too. They're stealing the jobs from legit folks, too.

I was reading this little bit http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/ne...prov=fanball&type=lgns">here</a>. It got me thinking of how little it seems to be thought of anymore. I have been a person with very dark skin all my life, and while the first 20 years of my life (Im 28) it seemed like it was something people commented on or took notice of, it dosent really seem that way anymore. While I dont think Racismn will ever "Go Away". I do think things are getting alot better. Its not a subject I really want to sit here and completely dissect myself because Im not that good of a writer...I was curious what other people thought about the progress on racism these days🙂

Racism will only go away when England finally gives up on trying to control us Irish...

😛

Seriously, it'll be a long time, if ever, before we're really just one race (human) VS being black or white or indian or what have you...
