do you think some people take raceism too far?

Question

does religion hold ground as a part of raceism?

Answer 1

I don't get this racialist thing. Instead of thinking about a persons race, why not think of the individual. Do I like him or her, is he or she a nice person?
Yes it is taken too far, however, we do have freedom of speech,
freedom of press. To some extent freedom to demonstrate, all be it you have to speak to the police before the event happens.
We don't want to lose those things.

We each need to question ourselves, and ask, if what we are saying is justified; before we open our mouths.

Religion has always been surrounded with problems, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't follow whatever faith they want to.

They shouldn't ram their religion down the throat of other people, but teach by example. This is sorely lacking in some faiths, where it is all in your face and offends...

I won't be party to mass hysteria and join the mob.

Answer 2

Yes. An example : A Muslim leader wanted to stop Chinese from celebrating Chinese New Year because he said that it is agaisnt Islam. But d PM whose a Muslim too, explain that CNY is not about religion but a festival of a race. See d problem? People are so sensitive about racism that they even linked religon with race just because the majority of a race is in a certain religion that people see this religion as a race. Both of it are totally different. Some people are too hostile that they fought for their religion even though there isn't any war. Thus shows that religion does hold ground for racism.

Answer 3

In Christianity there is a passage that says in effect, in the body of Christ there is no difference between people, no matter what the heritage.
As far as racism in general. it is first horribly overdone by children who are mean to others; racist adults are simply quiet about it, for the most part.
On the other end of the spectrum I think too many attempts at multiculturalism has the potential to make some people more racist because they feel put upon, that diversity is being shoved upon them.
Personally I really do attempt to look at people of all backgrounds in a fair way: I want to always have the capacity to enjoy mates of all backgrounds.

Answer 4

Some people definitley take racism too far. A classic example of that is Cronulla in Sydney. Ignorance is a major part of racism as acceptance is pretty much a fundamental as diversity is all around us. It's hard for some people to understand that most migrants leave their country of origin due to circumstances beyond their control and to create a better life for themselves,

Answer 5

It seems to me that those that feel they are the victims of racism will jump at any little thing said or done and scream discrimination. It is quite self centered to believe that everything everyone says is about yourself. People need to stand back and take stock. Stop being over sensitive.

I will give you an example, I go out with friends and we look at cakes in the coffee shop. I choose cheesecake, my friend says I can't eat that I am getting fat. I say what about some (other) cake...she says "what are you saying, that I'm fat, well you have big ears" etc. What I did not say was that she was fat - that was her own hang up talking. People with hang ups are impossible so in the end you avoid them.

Answer 6

Oh, yeah, racism is taken way too far sometimes. For example, how some people always use the race card whenever something doesn't work out in their favour. My philosophy? They are racists themselves for bringing that up. It's never their fault, it's all about their race. Give me a break...

Answer 7

My religion teaches me that God loves all His children. I would say that doing anything less is going too far.

Answer 8

yes if they want to be open about the fact.
its best to keep those sort of feelings under your hat in the present climate.

Answer 9
