my grandmother is racist

[imported_Tick]

It's interesting here. I live in Tucson. Sometimes I almost get what some people might call reverse racism, where I'm looked on negatively because I'm white.

my father thinks the same way. That I should marry a chinese, or at least a vietnamese girl (at the very least) I have a 1/2 chinese 1/2 vietnamese .

Anyways, he told me that I shouldn't go out of my race, but its even worse if my sister does because she is a girl. Then i smirked at him and said "black chicks are hot" and turned around, haha.

I like girls of all races btw. I just so happen to have an asian one.

:laugh: When your father said "at the very least" did he mean if not any other asian race then at the very least marry a vietnamese girl?

Oh and saying you want to marry a particular race isnt being racist. It's persona preference. If a black guy said he wanted to marry a black woman I wouldn't think they are racist. It's also the grandmothers personal preference in what kindve grand children (family line) she wants.

This doesn't exist anymore. There are probably only a few hundred KKK per Southern state (wild guess, but to say it's a strong presence would be inaccurate).

Sorry, you're right, I know their presence has been downward sloping for years (thank god), but whenever you hear the name KKK, it's automatically associated with the south (at least I think so)

Nonsense. Everyone knows that black people have special chemicals in their hair that make them run fast.

Dude, that's not cool! It's the shampoo.

I remember when I was really young, I went over to my grandparent's house for a day or two to spend time with them. During some of those times, my grandpa and I would play chutes and ladders. I distinctly remember once picking the black boy character as my game piece, and my grandpa saying in response, "oh you're gonna be the n*****, aren't you? Don't be the dumb n******. "

I didn't think much about it back then because I was really young and naive, but now that I'm older and wiser and that my memory's been jogged over the experience, I'm kinda freaked out over it. :Q

i don't think my grandparents are racist... they just sorta assumed i'd bring home a nice chinese girl.. surprise surprise, your grand daughter in law is white! she doesn't care though, and she loves her just the same

i experienced some racism when i lived in montana for about 8 months.. nothing serious.. just some dirty looks.. bad names being whispered, that sorta stuff... i got spit on once when i was young in san francisco of all places... racist people are everywhere.. of every age and race.. it happens.. just can't let it bother you

Everyone is racist againest some other type of people. It's not just the white people being mean to everyone else.....

she conveniently ignores superbowl MVP doug williams.

why are old people so lame?

That's funny, this is the reason why I love grandparents, they're hilariously ignorant.

My grandparents were all very open-minded. When my grandmother finally moved out of her house and into a smaller place close to us, the couple that bought the house were both men. She was confused at once why two men in their 40s would want to be roommates, but once we explained it she thought it was the cutest thing. Plus, they redecorated the entire house and it looked great, she was very happy with it.

It's funny, because one of my friends is so completely racist, and yet he's young, ~20. We call him Hitler, because he's racist and does WWII reenactment as a Nazi. He's taken to wearing his uniform to class occasionally to cheese off the professors. Absolutely hates black people and hispanics.

Also, my grandfather's racist as anything, but he married a Japanese girl (half his age, and his 3rd wife now).

I told him that was okay, I didn't need to come in his house.

[newParadigm]

because they are stuck in the past where they were trained to believe that they were surperior to others. its just like how the government has brainwashed us into thinking mindaltering substances are bad, even tho a good number of such substances exist that don't produce siginifacnt damage to the brain or addiction...

She just wants me to marry a korean girl cuase she's an oldschool grandma

That's a nice way of describing RACISM.

umm not racism

Yes it is.

Maybe his grandmother (who assumedly can only speak Korean) wants him to marry a korean girl (who can speak korean assumedly) so that she can communicate with her grand-daughter-in-law.

Maybe.

And maybe she is also still racist. Not racist in the "hang the n*ggers" stereotype of hate, but the simple racism of closed-minded ignorance and xenophobia. Some of the nicest people in the world are "racist" in that way -- and, yes, that is still racism.

Most koreans born in Korea are told lots of times to marry another Korean woman
Its unfortunate
Apparently, they tested the DNA of many Koreans, and they are all HIGHLY related since they intermarry within race

 

[AMDZen]

My whole family on my Dads side is racist. It drives me crazy. How they can all be devout Christians (Southern Baptists) but continually show how utterly judgemental they are is beyond me. The hypocrisy of Southern Baptists is, bar none, the worst of any religion that I am familiar with.

My grandparents raised 9 kids in Detroit during the 60's-80's, If they were racist, they probably wouldn't have done that...

You should go in with a Korean or Japanese guy and say "hey, hes not Chinese!"

What caused him to isolate "Chinees" from other races?

because all asians are Chinese to them :laugh:

I remember when I was in 1st grade and I was the only asian guy in class, the kids made fun of me saying "chinese this, chinese that" I went up to my teacher and said "teacher, everyone keeps calling me chinese" and she replied "because you are" with a smirk on her face (my last name is Kim BTW). She would probably be around 70 years old now, like all the ignorant grandmothers.

Funny, I don't think any of my grandparents are racist, and they all grew up in the South.

the north is more racist than the south.

I don't know, I haven't seen any Klan meetings around here lately...


EDIT - that's not a slam on the south, I just think that the strong presence of the KKK in the South makes the North not seem so bad

no, you just have nazis marching through jewish neighborhoods.
