With the thread talking about the crazy UK ckick and her racism, it made me think of this.

If you see three men, a white dude wearing a White Pride shirt, Mexican wearing a Brown Pride shirt and a black guy wearing a Black Pride shirt. Who is the Racist?
 
Its called White Supremacy. Or, back in the day, nazis, so yeah, the white guy is always the racist. Crazy crackers, always doing stupid shit and posting it on youtube. 🙂
 
none of them. it's the guy who attempts to single any one of them out for being racist that is the real racist.

The reason I put that is because I see hispanics wearing shirts like that or even tattoos.

I just think its wrong that there can be Black History month but people pushed for a White history month it would be wrong.

But in the U.S., only the white guy.

No. Actually, people who are descendents of Afghans(Mughals) are Caucasian. They make up pretty big numbers especially in the north.

People tend to think Caucasians are only limited to Europe and North America.

The term Caucasian race (also Caucasoid, Europid, or Europoid[1]) has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia (Middle East), Central Asia and South Asia.[2] Historically, the term has been used to describe the entire population of these regions, without regard necessarily to skin tone.

Also interesting to note:

In the United States, the term Caucasian has been mainly used to describe a group commonly called Whites, as defined by the government and Census Bureau.[24] Between 1917 and 1965, immigration to the US was restricted by a national origins quota. The Supreme Court in United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923) decided that Asian Indians and Middle Easterners – unlike Europeans – were Caucasian, but were not white, because most laypeople did not consider them to be white people. This was important for determining whether they could become naturalized citizens, then limited to free whites. The court and government changed its opinion in 1946. In 1965 major changes were made to immigration law, lifting earlier restrictions on immigrants from Asia.[25]

Does this mean I'm eligible to become a skin head 😀
 
If the shirts said White Supremacy, Brown Supremacy, and Black Supremacy then they're racist. If it just said Pride, then none.

QFT

There is something inherently prejudicial about any show of ethnic pride. Now if you want to have a "heritage day" where you celebrate the ethnic heritage of a group that is a positive outlook on ethnic appreciation, but T-shirts that say "blank" pride are devisive without any of the heritage involved.

For example, I work with several african born physicians, my roommate in med school was from Haiti and my next door neighbor's ancestors were victims of slavery. These people were very different. I would go as far to say that it was only the prejudice of others that created a common experience for them.

I was watching some old footage of germany pre-WWII and I saw all kinds of "pride" statements, and other signs of nationalism. I found it disturbing, especially knowing what happened afterwards.

Maybe it has something to do with a bit of multicultural background in my family, that I feel uneasy with too much nationalism. Although in todays world, a mix of German, Irish, English, French, Italian and Croatian, doesnt seem like diversity, it was enough to highlight the divisive nature of nationalism.

There's a bit of an understory to each one of those "pride" concepts. Only one of them has a history of being related to a movement that genuinely and forcefully believed that the race in question was superior to other races. The subtext to the other "pride" movements isn't supremacy, but rather "even though this other race pretty much controls everything, there are still things to be proud of about my race".

Honestly, I think being proud of a race is as ridiculous as being prejudiced against a race. In the end there isn't enough of a difference between all the races to warrant either.

I don't think you understand what prejudice means.
 
OP's the racist for not including the Asian guy 'cause he knows Asians win everything if they're allowed to participate.

Well, Mexican and Indian aren't races so I don't understand your point either.
