I'm apalled that racists can survive in this day & age. Scourge of the Earth imho.

Apalled? Yes. Surprised? Not at all.
He's canadian. Minorities actually have jobs up there.

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

I want to pick berries and flip burgers, but I can't because all the illegals are stealing my jobs! :|
You wouldn't last 10 minutes doing physical labor.

Everyone is white around here. My school of 500+ students has one black student. (Can I say 'black'?)

:roll: Have you ever looked at things like moneys for college based on race? You can get SO MUCH more money for college if you're ANYTHING BUT WHITE as opposed to actually being white.

Don't give me bullsh|t about whites having it easy. Whites lose out on things just because they're white. If you believe that whites get everything handed to them or that they're exempt from anything simply because they're white, you're gravely mistaken.

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.

Elisist go further than that. They think they know better and should be in charge of decisions for you, because they know better.

I'm an elitist and proud of it.

Too bad I'm the only one in the world since I'm better than everyone else. j/k

Discrimination will never die. It's human nature. Tolerance and understanding ease the pain. Also, allowing yourself to experience a relationship with someone who is unlike you can help reduce imposing discrimination.

I'm not racially biased.
I am very "culturally" biased, I suppose. I try not to stereotype, but it's tough.
I am very inclined to dislike someone because of negative things they do or say, but not at all inclined to dislike someone for how they look.
I can take that a step farther and say that I'm very tolerant of most anything people choose for themselves. I could care less about someone's religion (or lack of), their sexual orientation, their political affiliation, or anything else of that nature.
I can't stand the "gangsta rap" thing and I can't stand people who screw other people over. Those are my two pet peeves.
Aside from that I pretty much don't have any broad-based biases.

I had a friend who lived in the SF/Bay area for a long time. He was able to get tech jobs with ease here. Qualified for many positions. Always got interviews for positions he applied for. Then he tried to move to Bakersfield because of cheap living costs. Guess what, he sent many resumes to jobs that he qualified for, overqualified for and very over qualified for, but each time, just got a letter back saying he's not qualified for their position. I'm guessing its the name. They can tell by your name on a resume, there's no need for them to look at your skin color.

Lies. I'll take the left please. I can only cover 1/5th per day though. Can I switch off on the cheeks every other day?

by the way.... NAACP, BET etc. are racist as well. And most all ghetto ppls (and I talk from personal experience) are downright racist. Just so you guys don't think that only white trailer park types are racist.
