Posted August 2, 2014 Author One person hating or making fun of a person from another country isn't racism. Hating or making fun of another race is racism. Personally I think joking about it probably helps it a little bit. It might hurt some people, sure, but if everyone can learn to joke about it then racism will become exactly that - a joke. Yes, I can take some as jokes, but what I said was when people start to think that these are all true, that's when the line has been crossed.

Posted August 2, 2014 Yes, the Africans did, but only for greed. Also, yes I know that stereotypes are always going to be present, but repeated use of these stereotypes annoy me. Don't take things so personal. I was in an American clan that played Tactical S&D on CoD4 a couple years ago, i got called Limey a lot, and some other things i can't be arsed remembering, simply because i didn't give a shit.

Posted August 2, 2014 Accidentally liked, anyway, wrong. Racism is still present and it needs to go away. Yes racism exists, but now its frowned apon and straight up illegal. Instead of focusing on the tiny amount of actual racism (by actual racism I mean people being excluded and hurt by it, not chicken jokes) that still exsists, look at how much racism has decreased over the years. Racism these days is hardly a problem IMO, and people just sometimes need to stop talking about it, as morgan freeman said, the only way to get rid of racism is to stop talking about it.

Posted August 2, 2014 Yes, because it's much easier to generalize the world than accept that it is full of nuance. Well when a lot of people happen to fit the mold, yeah I'll agree with SOME stereotypes. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 2, 2014 I predict that in 13 pages (if it isn't locked) the only difference between this page and the last will be the addition of gun ownership and crime and religious discourse. If it's on CoD, I don't care, but if it's people that I know are clever, and smarter to know better, then that's when I know that it's gone too far. It's real life experiences that I get annoyed about Racism at its very root is a survival instinct (just like the flight/fight response), this is heavily tied into the core of humanity, it will take a long time to overcome the irrational part, just like even now we still suffer anxiety and fear of things that are no longer a danger. I am not excusing it, just pointing out why it happens and why it will take decades/centuries to properly dissipate. Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge. Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 2, 2014 It has decreased, but is present. Also, pirating is frowned upon and is illegal, but is still huge, so I view that argument as invalid Pirating and rasicm are completly different things. Piracy isn't frowned apon in society. + If rasicm were to become legalised it would have much worse consequences than is piracy was legalised. I mean I don't understand why you care so much about this? Racism that actually causes harm these days is extremely rare, the only types of racism you see these days are racist jokes, which I don't even class as being racist. If Everyone kept their opinions to themselves it would be a much better, easier world, everyone has their opinions and their own views on types of people, but so what? honestly I think threads like this shouldn't be opened because all they do is cause trouble and don't achieve anything.

Posted August 2, 2014 If i say i hate french people is that racist?.. Not the only one. Ehe. Not really.I just don't like some of them. I mean,they think of all Romanians as Gypsies for some reason.Maybe not all of them,but they do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1FCUmnV7bQ Here's the French's view on the Romanian salute, which they portray as begging. Heck,they discovered a dinosaur who lived on stealing,who was a relative to another dinosaur species in Romania and they called him..."the gypsy dinosaur".Or something pretty close to that.
