Be proud of who you are but don't be an ego maniac and don't think of others as inferior.

Will this be called a racial joke:-
An Irish man caught his son doing coke.
He"If I ever watched you again doing this, I'll shove it up your nose."

My race is Caucasian, my ethnicity is Irish, so no i don't believe it is a racial joke.

So that means it should be called an ethnicity joke

We could get into a whole other debate here regarding what ethnicity people believe they are T.T

Although i rarely trust wiki.

Stormfront is a white nationalist and supremacist[1] neo-Nazi[2] Internet forum that was the Internet's first major hate site.[3]
Stormfront began as an online bulletin board system in the early 1990s before being established as a website in 1995 by former Ku Klux Klan leader and white nationalist activist Don Black. It received national attention in the United States in 2000 after being featured as the subject of a documentary, Hate.com. Stormfront has been the subject of controversy after being removed from French and German Google indexes, for targeting an online FOX News poll on racial segregation, and for having political candidates as members. Its prominence has grown since the 1990s, attracting attention from watchdog organizations that oppose racism and antisemitism.

Now, the motto is white pride, but investigation argues that it is white supremacy.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLL.

Another great topic for the Southern child. T_T

The 'most' discriminated race! (Or so they tell me)

There are more black people at my school than white, and racism here gets extreme, often. I will curse and such, and I'll adapt my dialect to the group of people I'm with. So, for about half the time, I'm talking ghetto. I'll say the N word, because I know I don't mean it in a harmful way. Most of the people that know me don't take offense to it, considering it's said in practically every rap song we do together, but on more than a few occasions people who don't know me try to fight me because I said the N word.

Now, I hope we all realize this is stupid. I don't say it with an 'er', I say it with an 'a'. Apparently this is frowned upon. If you aren't black, you can't say a certain word. God forbid you get on to them for saying "Cracka", because then I'm being racist.

It gets a bit old.

Don't even get me started on Black History Month. I suggested White History Month and that landed me in retract. xD We have to sit an entire block on how far blacks have come. The morning announcements in February always play a jazz type song, and give some huge bio on a famous black person. I can't stand it. I don't give a crap what MY own race does. We don't celebrate Asian History Month, if there even is one.

Now getting back towards all of the races, not just blacks and whites...

What's the topic? White supremacy?
That's just stupid. I mean really.

Okay I give up. I'll just leave with a picture.



Hope that works. And if it has bad quality, suck it up.

People, look at this and tell me what you think of race discrimination.

. I suggested White History Month and that landed me in retract.

You see, not so long ago, "white people" would never refer to themselves as white.

But in all seriousness, there are actually other "race months",

First of all, just for the record,"racial discrimination" is a very vague and capricious term. Frankly, I find this whole topic ill-defined. But whatever.

Anyways, now that we got that out of the way, here are my two -vague- cents:
Ceteris paribus, we prefer self-descriptions which make us feel good and avoid those we experience as unappealing. This obviously may lead us to undue opinions of our own abilities. We overestimate our own admirability and underestimate other people's, ignoring painful truths about ourselves and emphasizing painful truths about them.
Thus, positive for us (and the persons we like) results are put down to our own brilliant character, while negative outcomes are down to misfortune or the malice of others.
This, shields us against the uncomfortable possibility that we might be responsible for the unpleasant consequences of our actions (Personal responsibility). It gives both groups of persons and individuals a moral discount in their own eyes.

Anyhow, long story short, what I am saying is that we attribute nastiness to the individuals we don't like (in this particular case people of a somewhat different appearance).
When we do something unpleasant, we put it down to error or misjudgment, a behavior that can easily be fixed. Whereas when people we don't like do the same, we ascribe it to their evil character, making them less morally redeemable and more responsible for their foul behavior.
This is to make them less human. We just don't notice their complexities and intricacy anymore. The other person becomes like a cartoon villain, ripe for mistreatment.

Sadly, we often have beliefs about other people which lead us to push them into hated outgroups. We need never have met them and may known little about them, except from sources whose impartially we should have good reason to doubt; yet we may become prepared to hurt them, in heinous ways, because of the beliefs we have about them and the -terrible- motives which drive us to do harm.

Bottom line: generalization, misdirection and sophistry are very handy when dehumanizing the "enemy". They help us preserve our pleasant self-image as justified persons who act from reasonable motives.

Okay I give up. I'll just leave with a picture.

I remember the first time I took the CSAP (Colorado State Assessment) in middle school and how it asked for my ethnicity. I had no idea what to put. I never asked my parents/anyone what I was.

Let me ask a question: Why do you find what ethnicity/race you are important? I've never given it a second thought for myself. I could care less if someone called me socially demeaning terms based on that.

You can't deny that there are different races,

The silly thing is really that there is no one on this planet that comes from one race we are all mixed up and have different backgrounds people that say that one race is better than others should have a look at there family tree.
