When I turned around to her and said thats racist, she just laughed. Why is it that they can get away with it, yet if the shoe was on the other foot, I would be in front of a judge. Just for info, I am NOT Racist and have done work for the indigenous people of Australia.

Because those that complain the most about being victims of racism are the biggest racists themselves. They think that (?) you have practice it (racism) a lot yourself so you can tell when other people are doing it to you.
Look, I have aboriginal and Muslim friends but frankly their hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me.

The double standard has been accepted by the cultural elite, so there's not much that can be done about it. Making a movie called "White Men Can't Jump" is okay. If a white filmmaker were to make "Black Men Can't Swim," all hell would break loose. It can't be explained away by saying that white people were mean to this group or that group, so the group in question has a right to be racist towards whites. That's blaming an innocent individual for the actions of someone else.

Well, many cultures and races of people have been abused by white people. Aboriginals got a pretty bad amount of that, and are pretty pissed by it. They are rightfully so, but that doesn't excuse her behavior.
I believe she might have laughed when you pointed out she was being racist for different reasons. One: She may have found the idea ironic and that you were getting a "taste" of what she had been through. Two: She might have found the idea of herself being racist as stupid (since her kind had been through so much) and when it was pointed out she was being racist she had to do SOMETHING to ease her sudden guilt. Or Three: It is sadly somewhat "politically correct" to be able to mess with white people now. It is like they have done so much and are getting "what they deserve" but no race DESERVES racism, no matter how it is done.

I don't know why anyone thinks racism is acceptable. It makes no difference who the racist is, it's completely ignorant. I encountered the same thing when I lived in a community bordered by a rez. I'm 1/4 native but look completely white; I can't tell you how many times I was harassed by native girls. It's a shame; I would never dream of behaving that way, but there's the difference between class and trash. You, obviously, have class that girl lacks.

I notice that alot of races get away with alot of things, like if a ( black guy or girl ) were to say something about a white person, it's usually *cr@cker*, or *h0nky*, it doesn't bother me, but it seems like when ever things are getting explained standards are used, like i put black guy, you have to use some kind of term to specify what nationality the person is, but you wouldn't usually hear a ( white ) person saying something about a ( black ) person by us calling them a Ni#@er.. or a p0rch m0nkey.. simply because that would be going too far.. or to identify a ( mexican ) most would say *sp!ck*, or *wet b@ck*, racism is always going to be around.. and there isn't much we can do about it, i guess just deal with it, no matter what someone is always going to have something negative to say, if I were you, I really wouldn't worry too much about it..

What she did is the epitomy of hypocrisy and is indeed racist. She should absolutely not be allowed to get away with it. Someone with her limited mentality assumes that racism can only happen against non-white people.

Yeah, I know. It is unfair. If a white person says something racist against a black person, all hell would break loose. But if a black person says something racist against a white person, nothing much happens. It's a double standard.

community women (i'm 0.5 Cherokee, 0.5 Irish) tend to have some solid length derrieres. it fairly is an version to our specific way of life and climate, fat storage. yet i will additionally say that Brazilian females are not thoroughly white. maximum have some African or community ancestry, as do maximum Latinas.

very simple. the radical left that now controls the media, hollywood, education, advertisment, and the universities have used these things to brainwash the masses into hating the white race. meanwhile guilt tripping or in some cases bullying whites into silence.
it's all a push to destroy the western civilization.

I recommend that you have a look at the history of how the Australian Anglos treated and STILL treat the Aborigines people
That movie with Tom Selleck called Quigley Down Under will give you a HINT of what was done to them. . "Walk in my shoes and know my pain and you will never criticize me again".
