people have a hard time getting over race
im not sure its nessicary to do so, but if you dont it becomes imposible to be multiethnic
at a young age people know race, then even when you grow to try and ignore race theres the cliff face delimma. a black man and a white man hanging from a cliff, who do you save?
interesting that you see not forcing immigrates to entirely erase their history to be considered American as "racist"
i think there is too much focus on the differences and not enough on what should be the unifying pieces and what doesn't matter
does nosoul think that?
i dont remember him saything that
i mean, if you don't have a concept for it, it means you can't have it. if you have something, generally you give it a name
no, all I'm saying if somebody wants to be an American, that's what one is. All I said is that I find it racist to distinguish between Americans ethnicly.
what does the word racist mean?
well i agree then, we focus too much on the differences
ironically one of my favorite comedians has a joke he had to go the middle east to finally be called american and not Latino
can i not be seen?
im typing but it seems like no ones reacting to what im saying
you need to tag/address the person you're asking Arch
no one else here is tag/addressing people
I am
the last time you tagged someone was an hour ago
what do you mean? i responded to your previous comment, not the word racist one because i was responding to nosoul
to someone not even here
Arch is going insane
anyway, what does the word racist mean?
are you asking me or Granade?
im asking anyone
yes, i think
racist
ˈreɪsɪst/
noun
noun: racist; plural noun: racists
1.
a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of other races, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
i beleive racial superiority covers the latter of that defintion but i agree with that definition. though webster has a different interpriation https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism
so how is it racist to think that people joining your country need to conform to your values?
The context I used racist as was the prejudice bit
if racism is to show or feel discrimination or prejudice against people of other races (or lets expand that to ethnicitys to cover just a general difference for outsiders (though that could be consitered xenophobia too)) how is expecting other people living within your country regardless of where they come from to meet the standards of values that you want the people you live with to express?
Arch, you distinguish between americans on the basis of skin color. This is all I meant. I find it grose. Most folks I'm friends with that come from a mono-ethnical state find it grose. We have people of color here and there and we don't give a rat's ass about it. I don't know how to make my point any clearer
unfortunately we dont own that anymore
i don't think most people really give a rats ass about it in America
ironically, the left also calls that racist
"color-blind is racist"
you have quotas. The fact one can be viewed as a diversity hire is incredibly mean. That's all I'm saying.
it is
and its being lead by the faction who started the KKK
and yet there are no protests against it.
yeah, there are
