Let's Define "Racism."

[ManSnake]

There are four racial groups in the world, sorry Jews, Arabs, Indians and what we call whites are all in the same racial group, they are all Caucasoid! The other three are Australoid, Mongoloid, Negroid. So I guess strictly speaking a person insulting a white guy or insulting a Jew cannot be considered a racist because that person is not insulting the entire racial group called Caucasoid, right? Is that technical enough for ya?

BTW do you think racial insults are worse than cultural, gender, religious insults? If you do please explain why.

<< . There is a distinct difference between insulting someone for something that is NOT inherent, i.e., culture, beliefs, politics, etc... and insulting someone for something that IS inherent, i.e., color, disability, looks, etc. >>

do you think anyone cares? an insult is an insult and whether someone says &quot;you're a <cultural insult>&quot; or &quot;you're a <color insult>&quot; the effect is the same...
if anything it's an excuse to be able to get by with more bigoted behavior saying &quot;oh it's not racism, it's just talking about culture&quot;... if you find it OK to say &quot;the Chinese are communist bastards&quot; and say &quot;it's not racist i'm attacking a political belief&quot;, i seriously doubt most Chinese ppl would agree...


<< One is insulting a country or culture, and the people in it. The other is insulting a race.
If you can't see the difference, I suggest you're far to uptight and need a beer and a blowjob in the worst way. >>

i suggest the same if you DO see a difference... that's quite an uptight/nitpicky statement to make... >>



Hardly. The Chinese government and those that support them ARE communist bastards. And I couldn't give a rat's ass how insulted anyone is by that statement. Communism is NOT inherently Chinese, Chinese is not a race, and you need to realize that ALL opinions are bigotry of some form or another.

I cannot say this enough:

Just because you are insulted, doesn't make what I have to say wrong. I will not couch what I have to say for fear of hurting someones feelings if what I have to say is right.

So calling those who support commie China animal is better than a racist?

<sarcasm
Now this can not possibly be true.
India and Mongolia are in Asia, so their peoples must be 'Asian'.
</sarcasm>

If we can not agree on a definition of 'race' how the hell are we going to define 'racism'??
