Why is it that whenever a white person asks about something regarding black people (their culture for instance), they immdiately get called racist (by both black and white people) for it? Wanting to know or understand something about another culture or race or nation is not racist, yet even when there is nothing racist about people's questions they get called racists. How come?
And, why is it that whenever someone criticizes Jews or something in their culture they are called anti-semitistic or nacist? What's wrong with criticizing them like we criticize other groups?
Why are those subjects such taboos and why do people always jump to the conclusion that you are racist if you bring those subjects up? I know people are sensitive about bad things that happened in the past, but I don't think those things should be used to shut everyone up and scare them away from those subjects.
