Answer 1

Just read through these answers on every page some-one is pontificating about something or other, I'm afraid that this is the world we live in ,there are racist/extremists everywhere.Its a fact of life, one of the uglier ones.But most folk on here are pretty nice and helpful, just ignore the rest, they'll get fed up before you,cos if nobody rises to their stupidity, then they will have no arguments, please dont let them touch you, dont fuel their fire

Answer 2

Not until people like Jesse Jackass and Al Sharptongue realize that they're doing the wrong thing by keeping the racial flames burning via the enemy of the people-(Media) and the self-victimizing dummies realize that they're responsible for the choices that they make, not the "Man" so to speak, thus much more can be debated on this subject, such as, the public schools being propaganda machines, not places of learning, and parents of course have much to do with the manner in which their kids think as they mature...The truth often hurts or seems bias, but there it is.

Answer 3

I wish I knew why there is so much racism in the world. I am a part-time (white) taxi driver, and the other day I had an elderly (white) couple in the car who on the surface were very pleasant, until the man started talking about immigration and gave me the "benefit" of his views, such as "All Africans are a thousand years behind us"; "There is not a Moslem on this Earth who doesn't believe he is superior to everyone else"; and "The Chinese are acceptable immigrants, because they are the only race who enter a country in order to work". By the time I got home my tongue was sore from biting it!

Answer 4

It depends on how you define the word "racist". Some are so uppity and overcome with conceit and self glorification that anything you say they will call "racist". The worst example I can think of is that if I were to say something in opposition to jews and their actions in the Middle East I would be called a racist anti-semitic and guilty of a hate crime. I think this is caused by a combination of arrogance and insecurity.

You can call me "honky" or "whitey" all you want and it doesn't bother me a bit. If you call me "racist" that doesn't bother me either, because I am not going to be scared off by somebody's egotistical opinion. I am too obnoxious and sarcastic for that.

Answer 5

When you see the area where you live go from being a nice area, into a tip overrun with Asians and Asylum Seekers ask yourself the same question again.

If the Asians and Asylum Seekers would have stayed put, I wouldn't dislike them at all.

JeffE is bang on as well

Answer 6

I think the governments have a lot to do with keeping racism going.
They strive to stamp it out by creating laws to stamp out abuse to minorities, and end up stoking it up even more, because they call it racial equality, when it is clearly not equal.
For example. You can get arrested for insulting a community regarded as ethnic, but not arrested for insulting on that is not regarded as ethnic. Is that equal?
Governments need to produce laws that apply to all. Then nobody can find an excuse.
