Is the term Paki a racist slur, or is that what people from Pakistan are called? I mean, people from Afghanistan are Afghanis, and people from Hindustan are Hindis.

I'm not trying to be racist, I'm just asking. If it is racist, then what is the correct term?

I got the shock of my life today. I live in Australia, it's a free country. I was out with my daughter and when I turned around I saw a woman in full Birka, is that the right way of spelling it? This poor woman was covered from head to toe in black like she was some sort of thing that needs to be covered from the world. It was horrible! I locked eyes with her and she looked straight at me too. There was a little slit for her to see out off and we locked eyes, her eyes looked so sad. Her husband looked at me if to say I should be cover completely too, he was horrible. I got such a shock I have never seen that up close b4 just the head covered by Muslim woman every now and again and that’s fine. This woman’s eyes, I will never get over them. I want to rescue her and all women caught captive by this cult.
She was cradling a very young little baby; my heart goes out to her so much. I have never ever seen this in Australia, ever This is Australia she is free! What do you think?

if you think so, explain why (without using Al Sharpton, BET, or NAACP; all of which are created or owned by whites).

Then, if you will, describe the difference between prejudice and racism, because they are not one in the same.

If you think not, post who you think is the most racist, and explain why.

people should be proud of their culture, right? but some people complain about being asked about their heritage, or mentioning anything about it. whats that all about? i doubt people are racist when asked about this. and on the other hand, ive seen controversy of studying the 3 races of man, caucasoids, negroids, and mongoloids from a scientific viewpoint. its not like anyone is trying to say they are a different species, and it is true that people from different races look different, and have a different culture a lot of times. and i can think of worse going on, such as the fat and the ugly getting made fun of, and teen stereotypes of having no lives, and used for dirty work. please, no smart answers, or i will report you!

"There are many ways to explain that White people are superior than other races but there aren't any ways to explain that other races are superior than White people."

Their looks, and thier unique hair and eyes colours, and especially all the benefits White people brought in our society.

Often White people are the side of people who make fun of othres and I myself don't find anything to make fun of White people (I anyways don't though). Is that because they are superior?


I just read a question about the same question and want to ask this again. I'm pretty sure that it's not true but can't really explain by myself.

I've always thought black men were more attractive than white men. It's just my taste though so why would it bother anybody else? White men give the most meanest looks!
