I asked a question earilier about how some racists are so low as to vent their hatred on children, and someone answered with this post

"I had to deal with a mixed race child who was treated so badly by both teacher and pupils. He held me so tight with anger and sob in my arms saying ' I am so tired and fed up, they treat me like this all the time. What have I done? By the time I calmed him down most teachers were watching and pretended it was not happening. I then called all the children and told them not to isolate him and that the one who plays with children who have no friends will get extra stars for being kind and helping others to feel good. I explained to them that it is wrong to treat others like that. Before long all the others were playing and running around with him. Only one teacher came round to say I saw what you did and that was the right thing to do. "

And I was wondering how many of these children that are mistreated turn into racists themselves?

I should know this being scottish. But does anyone know the name of the type of kilt that goes round the hips and over one sholder. Kinda like the one Mel Gibson wore in Braveheart?

I searched heaps but can't find what it's called.

This ban is happening in the UK. I'm interested how this ban will effect the social habits of smokers and non-smokers and if the ban is generally welcomed as a good thing.

they both have a big history of racism.

But why is racism directed mostly particularly on them?
why not other races?

do people throw racism at what they fear most?
or is it because they are regarded as the most inferior?
is it because racists think they don't stay down in their place?

Why do people feel the need to put down another race because of their skin color? I don't get it.

I've been teaching English in korea for about 3 years now. And what bothers me the most is when I see a 10 year old kid with a cellphone. Lastly, something else that bothers me, why do korean kids like to say hello or ask whats your name outside of your home. This world would be alot better place if they talked to the person next to them. I guess it's natural for people to try to be brave and talk to someone of a different race and ignore their own. This don't make any sense does it.

I often noticed the surest way to unite people is have band against a common threat or enemy. Take the cold war. When two super powers were against each other, the world was stable. Now without this, the world is falling apart. Is it possible to unite the world by fooling them and making them want to fight a non-existent enemy?

My idea?

If I created a world religion based on the idea that an alien invasion will come and wipe us out and all the world must unite to fight this threat and do what we can to explore space to find these hostiles and get them before they get us?

Then pull a international hoax that convinces the world these aliens do exist and use this as a means to create converts.

Do you think this would work?

My first question was about homosexuality and someone pointed out to me that that was discriminatory. So, in the intrest of fairness, I ask this question. Do you think that it is better? Worse? Just another way of being a person? Again, please state your veiws in a respectful manner. I'm open to all opinions as long as you're not derogatory.

Ok I have been researching and researching. This is the way that it flows. Our common ancestor is my Great-Grandma. She is my Great-grandma, and Her Grandma. What does that make us? From what I've read it should be 2nd cousins once removed, is that right?
Thanks,

10 reasons
1. Sex, violence, and drugs are rare but are discussed appropriately when they are
2. It will encourage our children to be super nerds who are smart and nonviolent
3. Has good role models for women in it (Janeway)
4. People handle situations maturally in unlike other shows. In TNG episoide Galaxy's Child Jordie discovers the woman he loves is married, no one has an affair they become friends.
5. Has some much needed optimism about the future and humanity's ability to be good.

Granted, there are some physical attributions from ourselves and others that we don't like... some go to the extremes and dislike a whole ethnic group. I am not there... but I can tell that I am more attracted to light skinned guys than darker, I love dark and curly hair more that flat blond and I have never felt a tiny bit of attraction for any Asian (except south Koreans; I don’t get it either).
Anyway... in a world where racism and ethnocentrisms is still common, if we all were the same, would that really fix the problem?

Why is this attitude so accepted? I don't like people assuming things about me because I'm white. If the stereotype about me is true, isn't it possible that a lot of people that aren't white do the same things?

Case and point
STEREOTYPE:
All black people like fried chicken.
I like fried chicken.
Therefore I must be black.

See? it doesn't make sense it is just inductive reasoning.

Racsim is composed of 3 things: Impostion, Idealogy, and Institutional Arrangement.
Impostion: Means to force
Idealogly: A value or belief
Instituitional Arragnement: Laws and government polices
Case in point: The black panthers were a Black power group that wanted to help and bring equality and rights to the oppresed peoples of America( Women, Blacks, Hispanics, and Poor people) How can they be a "racsit" group if they many poor whites aided then during the Civil Right Movement.
Another instance is Ethocentrism: People confuse ethocentrism with racsim. Ethiocentrism is the belief the ones culture is superior than another. This is not racism this is idealogy.
Bigotry: Stereotyping, Racial Slurs. Just because someone calls you a a slur doesn't make them as racsit they are clearly a bigot. Everyone express forms of bigorty but racism is different. only few people are actuall racists. Including Adolf Hilter, Strom Thrumand, Woodrow Wilson, Trent Lott, T.C. Williams.
