That's Racist!

Postby Kimonio » November 4th, 2013, 4:29 am

It's out there, among the common people. Every race can be racist. Why? And how can this be stopped?

And so begins the debate, I would like to hear your opinions on this.

zomg change le redskins teem to the native americans

I don't get the big fuss over that issue, not that I care much about AmericaBall. The team supports lots of tribes whose populations are dwindling. It's not a racist team name, it's promoting them in a way.

as long as they don't go as far as to physically attack someone or whatever, I generally don't mind it, although I don't agree with it either.

don't worry guys, I hate everyone equally, that doesn't make me racist right?

I once read a serious essay of some sort saying that the Redskins name was offensive to Native Americans. Upon finding a survey that said that a large majority of Native Americans didn't feel offended by the name, the author basically said that Native Americans were too stupid to realize that they were being offended.

To my knowledge I am not making this up.

I feel like people take the slightest things too seriously and get offended way too easily. (I don't feel it, I know it.)

Over here people aren't legitimately racist, we just say stuff to each other because we're friends and we know we're joking. I see how that might be seen as a problem, but to me it's just friends screwing around with each other.

As for the real racists, all you can do is hope they get arrested for some event fueled by their hatred and hope the next generation as a whole is taught "the correct" moral values.
