... Throw me up an example where racism was the source of a negative act, because I hear about it all the time whereas genuinely if I hear what could be construed as racism it's just joking.

Schuetteg6, just an FYI, it's considered spam if the post is under 7 words generally.

As for why, we don't all look the same or hold the same beliefs or speak the same language. People fear the unknown. One way to not fear the unknown is to believe you are better.

orly? And it's because we're not the same past the same structure of our bodies. Some people have different skins, some people have different beliefs, some people have a different society that doesn't have any similarities to another.

There was the whole slavery thing that happened a while back and, y'know, segregation - plus, in a UK example, the Bradford race-riots of the 90's.

KKK, slavery, Jim Crow laws... but those are old. More recently prejudice against Arabs and fear of Islam.

Please, stop making so many posts. It is really annoying.

The same reason for everything else, "inherited" from parents, culturally absorbed, religions reasons, learned from someone, coming up with the idea yourself, and natural survival tactics. But really this post is just a justification for telling you to stop making more posts.

... Bugger. I failed with what I meant to say and what I said.

As of late - as in the last 5 years within Europe that was a relatively small thing compared to segregation and etc. Racial attacks generally aren't actually based on the race, and there isn't much about race that people get into on a serious level anymore.

More recently prejudice against Arabs and fear of Islam.

But not entirely unreasonably, with the amount of terrorist attempts etc. It's not as if the media shines it out that it's a minority of Islam that would like us to die, honestly.

Then again, I don't trust the media as is.

No problem, it would also help if you could contribute your own opinion to this thread, by the way

Oh there was Troy Davis who was executed recently. Convicted on virtually no evidence. I'm pretty sure race was a factor.

He wrote 45 posts in a relatively short amount of time, then.

... Link, please? I'd like to read more into this, it would help me a lot as a Law Student in my school on top of the debate of racism.
