You know i find it funny, there is the token black man. Then there is the token gay man. It seems that they dont want to pay two actors so they just have the token black man also be gay. WTF?

Are talking about that sitcom with Micheal J. Fox? I can't recall it's name. Wasn't the gay black dude also a Jew and was a Republican?

What would happen if I started WET(white entertainment television)? I'd be a horrible racist. Why is affirmative action ok? If I have equal skills/experience as a minority, why is it ok for them to get the job over me? If I have BETTER grades than a minority, why is it ok for them to be accepted into a better university? That is the OPPOSITE of equal opportunity. The year I graduated, the #1-4 students in my class were all rejected from Penn. #5, of Indian descent, was accepted at Harvard. He said himself it was because of his race. Doesn't anyone see this as being racist?

Racism is not acceptable. I wonder how long it will take for race, the color of one's skin, to be as important as hair color?

Yup. Remember folks, it's always the white teenagers who wear black and listen to Godsmack that kill people! Better lock them up now while you still can!

Oh, you were unrightfully blamed but nothing actually happened to you. I'm so sorry, cry me a river.

"Nothing happened"? Physically, no. But how would you feel walking into schools with metal detectors, having armed officers around, and watched like a hawk every second of your day? A little mentally disturbing, I think you'd agree.

And I'm sure every Jesse Jackson wannabe Race-Card playing asshat out there was personally beaten, enslaved, or mistreated too.

I believe in stereotypes. Makes it easier for me. See, I didnt used to be racist. But I get so fvsking tired of hearing the "Its because I'm <insert non white color>". It gets OLD. So, I just decided to hate them equally because they CANT GET OVER IT.

So one asshole called you a name. boo frigen hoo. That is his problem. I am really getting sick of this. It seems a lot of people here think that racism and racial stereotyping isnt around anymore. It is. plain and simple. Stop acting like it isnt.
The other day i went into a store and the manager walks up to me and asks me if im someguy named (i dont remember). anyway I told him no. He said alright its just that a black dude was shoplifting and he wanted to know if it where me. The thing that pisses me off is that i walked up to the same manager and told him that i saw with my own eyes someone shoplifting. He told me that he couldnt even confront them and ask them legally unless him or one of the employees saw them do it. But since i fit the description of a black guy, i have to deal with this freakin accusation. He wouldnt be askin me if my skin was white. I mean there are millions of black people in this country. That doesnt mean the first one you see is comitting a crime and you can brake your own legal rules to question him, WTF?

Our government has promissed reperations to people of african american decent tons of times. And indians get them. The people who were in consentrasion camps in WWII war given reperations. But not blacks. And you know what i think of that, that is COMPLETELY FINE. I think that no one should get them. not the indians with there reservations not anyone. I wasnt put in a boat and dragged over here so why should you have to pay for it? We all should have equal rights as american citizens.

just my $0.02

It's been only a few years since this stuff ended. Is this fair? Hell no. LIFE ISN'T FAIR, GET USED TO IT. Over time things will even out.

Pretty simple explanation when you think about it.

That's a pretty silly explanation seeing as how the Chinese were practically enslaved and probably discriminated against more than any other group in the 20th century, yet see no benefits of AA today.

Very true. I need to flesh out my argument a bit more🙂 I'm sure there will be more holes to call me on.

Asians aren't nearly as large a segment of the American population, so they aren't on RADAR for racism as much.

I think what separates blacks is the fact that they were BY LAW slaves, and laws later on in US history like Jim Crowe were designed to discriminate against them. This in itself is a "trauma" that African Americans rely upon to demand better treatment. Only time will heal these wounds.

The media and media stars such as Al Sharpton have a HUGE part to do with it too. Power and wealth, ratings, etc. are created for these people by perpetuating the myth that things aren't any better for blacks, and convince people to BELIEVE this.

Perceived racism against blacks has become a part of the American fabric, truly. Blacks and whites have segregated themselves into communities mostly, so these things perpetuate themselves. Some inequities do still exist...NYPD still arrest and assail black males faster than whites, cabs won't stop for black males, etc. All this adds up to real incidents of racism and inequity, but not representative of society as a whole.

Again, I think only time and the sharing of information will heal these "wounds."

WOW, I feel exactly the same.

So by playing directly into the expectations, you increase the insult effect by reflecting their own emotions? Interesting ... I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. 😀

Oh so as a result of Columbine and other school shootings, officers unfairly targeted white teenagers in the school. You had to walk through a metal detector (only white people, not blacks of course) and were watched over (oooh, the terror.. im shaking in my boots already) and couldn't live about your daily life. Compared to say.... the most recent event where Middle Easterners were detained with no explanation, and with no outside contact. Again, I'm sorry. I can truly see how you suffered so much.

And no, certainly not "every Jesse Jackson wannabe Race-Card playing asshat out there was personally beaten, enslaved, or mistreated too." But I'm sure there were that went through a great deal more than the horrific trouble that you have gone through, you poor baby. And its funny how you are the one bringing up the race card yourself, on how you have been so unfairly treated as a white person. Waaaah waaaah.

And nice comment. God forbid that you could actually have some originality for once.

Thanks for proving my point by refering to me as "you white boys." Oh, social does not have a second s in it. For what, exactly, do minorities have to forgive me?

Well dumbass, I never said that racism doesn't exist. Way to put words in my mouth.

haha you think indian people are favored by elite schools over white people? hahahaha

Well sir, considering he himself said he only got in because of it, I'd say yes.

No body likes to be discriminated against. It happens to me and I do not like it. I still do not understand how some people here maintain that the white male is discriminated against when most of the people who are in positions of power in the US are white males. And it looks like the racial make up of the power elite is not going to change in the next twenty years.

From what I am reading there are more women going to professional and graduate schools than men so I think eventually the white male's dominance in US's political and economic spheres of power will change.

How did he know that? I don't believe the admission office tells you why you were admitted. Everyone pretty much gets an acceptance letter saying that "Your qualifications and scores are just the kind we were looking for, Welcome aboard".

 

[Deeko]

I don't know. But can you explain why 4 people, with better grades, involved in more activities, who are generally more charasmatic, didn't get into a less prestigious school?

Oh, and if you think I'm just being bitter because I'm one of those 4, no, I was ranked 41 in my class.

Did you just skip the first sentence or something, i never said you did in particular. Although i can see how i posted it wrong.

I am really getting sick of this. It seems a lot of people here think that racism and racial stereotyping isnt around anymore

Its seems a lot of people, not you.

I see your point but i dont think its exactly a good one. People are assholes what can i say. If you called me a niggger i wouldnt even see it as racist. just as a word that someone can use against a person. If hes big call'em fat. Got glasses hes 4 eyes, hes black call him a (you know)

Because the school can only have 90% white people unfortunately. It should be 100%, just as Strom Thurmond would've liked it. We all know white people are more intelligent, harder working, and take personal responsiblity never using the race card. Damn minorities, stealing about positions that rightfully belong to someone else.

I think that you don't know what affirmiticve action is. Quite suprising since you have gone to college. Affirmitive action is there to help minority to get a job over a majority not based on skills the skills are equal its based on etnicity.

Your goverment has recognised a social problem in your country. Minoritys are discriminated so thats why you have affirmitive action over there.

There will always be groups/people that are discontent/envious and utterly selfish and that blame there own failure on others.

Im a Viking but i can understand the problems minoritys have, we have minoritys here in Sweden also and i know that they have to work a little harder be a little better if they are gona have to have a chance EQUAL to us majoritys. And even then its not granted that he will get the job.

Sarcasm thicker than can be.

Who cares what the percentages are? In a truly colorblind world, the better student should get the spot, be they minority or not.

Yea, I know that. That's why its stupid. Why should a less qualified person get a job just because of their ethnicity? How is that better than giving a less qualified white person a job because they are white? How would blacks feel if the NFL implemented affirmative action, so that the percentage of your white running backs had to be proportional to the number of whites in the city? Obviously there are many more talented black people in that position, thus they get the job.

Sorry for being realistic. Ok, here's another example. Another kid from my highschool. A complete DUMBASS. 1.0 GPA, I think a 750 SAT score. Played no sports, was in no activities, had no social skills. He got into college why? That's right, because of his ethnicity.
