Is this one of those call a majority member an idiot and it's abuse, but call a minority member an idiot and it's RACIST abuse type deals? I don't watch the show.

I'm aware that it's bullying either way - I'm interested in views on the racism angle.

As this word gets used at the drop of a hat and to easily (which seems like every things racist these days) do we need a new word for ratiional thought?

Rascism. You are finally starting to think. Shilpa has opened your eyes. Now, as all you whites believe that yours is the supreme race and all others are subordinate(the slaves in history, colonialism in the recent past...). Well. Good to see you awake. I think you need to learn more of Gandhiji's struggle in South Africa. Cricketer followers will be knowing what Herschell Gibbs said. You whites may not be knowing what your ancestors did to us a century or more ago. Yeah, you invented machines, you invented guns. Yeah, we are a bit behing you in terms of technology. But yes... continue to look around you... many people you see are asians. Yes. We are at the recieving end right now. You may be looking down to us. But the heck. Shipa made it to Big brother. Many more will follow.
I don't mind being reported. I'm giving you a piece of my mind. All can comment.

English are called poms, Scottish- Jocks/ Scotch, British- Brits,
Americans-yanks etc and get on with it. Why are they acceptable and others which I wont say for fear of being called racist are classed as racist. No offence anybody

This is only an observation, but why are white men who date Asian women often tall, skinny,lanky, wear glasses and meek looking (Kind of like the John Lennon look). Is it some subsurvience thing? Yes I know I may be generalizing, but I want to know if you have observed this also.

I always see them worshipping some type of shoe, typically sneakers. Just curious if there is a reason behind it?

Sometimes radio versions block it out, then if I hear it the original way, I usually use the word everytime I hear that song from then on. Is this offensive to you? Do you think we should be allowed to use it. Otherwise it is a form of reverse racism and segregation.

I want to quote a yahoo member who answered my, "Are you racist?" question in this:

"Everyone has a homegrown misconception of another race with which they have minimal contact. That's what happens when you're raised in one culture with other cultures marginalized."

In order to eliminate these homegrown racial misconceptions you would have to increase contact with other races. So, do you think world peace can be obtained by total racial integration? That would mean no language barriers, a one language world. That would also mean no black colleges. City planning would have to designate a required number of representatives from each ethnic group living within neighborhoods, etc... All hate crimes punished with say, the death penalty regardless of degree of assault. You get the idea...

IF this could be done (and I know it is far fetched) do you think we would be one step closer to world peace?

You won't believe this, but I watched a documentary that said EVERYONE is racist to a certain extent. White, Black, Hispanic, etc...everyone in every ethnic group is racist against those outside of their etnicity for various reasons, even to the point of not trusting anyone outside of their race.

I really find this hard to believe, as I tend to associate racism as ignorance. But discovery channel producers tend to think it is natural and normal.

Does anyone agree that everyone is racist? Or, are you like me and tend to think it all depends on HOW a person is raised and not on their skin color as to how they see others of a different race...?

Don't call me racist, I am a white girl. And maybe Niave is a more appropriate term than dumb....But it seems to me that there are more white girls out there letting guys walk all over them, then black or hispanic girls. Anyone else notice this?? Why do you think that is? They are embarrassing me!

I've been wondering for ages wat makes people so rude obnoxious and so up themselves that they make people go through absoulute ****.
and the people that do the right thing dont get rewarded its the people that do wrong that get everything and nobody cares that people are dieing they only care if it a really famous person or someone they odure.
its just not right. why cant everybody just be nice and try to get a long who cares what coluor they are or bout there nationality they r people 2 and they should get the same kinda respect as every1 else and who care bout what **** celebrities are going through think about the average joe for once.
