<< Here is my view on racism. First of all, say for example, Conan is getting critized for saying 'ching', or something to that effect, directing that phrase at the Chinese. My opinion is, that if you dont want to hear what anyone has to say, just dont listen to them. It is Conan's show, and he has the right to say anything racist, and should not be critized, or sued for it. Bottom line, if you dont like what someone is saying, then just dont listen to said person >>



I dare you to go the downtown New York, and call black people the N word, then tell them that if they don't like it, they don't have to stay here and listen
ever wondering what's like to be beat the sh*t out of your life? try it.
edit to put the disclaimer
Disclaimer: I will not be responsible on what happy to you when you did that.
second edit: spelling

sigh, black people complain about racism, but they're just as critical of white people. generally. i mean, if a white guy was walking around compton you'd prolly guess he'd get ass raped but 5 big dudes.

Something I've never understood is why they say it to each other and don't get mad. Another thing I've noticed a few times is Mexicans calling each other wetbacks or scratchbacks. I go to a local taco stand(I'm usually the only beloved patriot in there) every once in a while and I've heard some of the workers/customers in there calling each other those things. I'm sure if I were to say it that I wouldn't be able to walk out of the place under my own power.

i think asians really get the shaft when it comes to racism. they always make fun of asians on TV but no one would DARE make fun of a black for fear of being called a racist. i think we all should either stop, which is pretty much impossible, or lighten up.

Yep us asians do get shafted by racism. We don't have idiots like jesse kackson complaining
about every single thing and calling every major corporation racism. So therefore we get picked on the most. But i don't think RACISM is ever one side, its a 2 way street. When u start Hating on a person, the other person will hate you back. Its never gonna stop.

i think spade is another derogatory term for the roundeye :)

i agree with dcpsoguy... the irony of it all is that all the civil rights groups and minority groups are always stressing acceptance, diversity, freedom, etc, then they turn right back around and play the role of the oppressor. one notable exception is the aclu (they rock!) but all the rest of them pretty much are flaming hypocrites. i'm not condoning racism, but i'm saying that tolerance is a two way street.

Something I've never understood is why they say it to each other and don't get mad

because it's assumed that nobody would be insulting their own kind, and it's almost a term of endearment. whether or not a word is offensive has nothing to do with the word itself, and everything to do with how you use it. or at least how others before you used it :)

I laugh every time I get called a &quot;cracker.&quot; There for a while I was working at a clinic up on &quot;the bad side of town&quot; putting in a new router, server, etc.. and when I would go up there a few of the locals that hung around outside the clinic(it was between a combo wig shop/nail place and a QuikStop) would say things like &quot;what's a cracker like you doing up here?&quot; or &quot;You lost cracker?&quot; I finally responded one day by telling them I was looking for some fried chicken and watermelon. They laughed and told me that I was &quot;allright&quot;

gREAT Story.. hehe.
