Racism in Australia (4 Viewers)

He has to have some way of expressing his hate of people who actually work to get somewhere in life, as opposed to those who expect to be given it all.

Don't even get me started on you, Red Scum. 150million deaths worldwide - and yet you still follow that socialist shit - grow the fuck up.

Just to let you know, you actually didn't make a response to my post.

Its almost a tradition in this multicultural society to discriminate against others in some way. Whether its through openly threatening and assualting someone because of their race or whether its through generalisations, eg. all Asians are smart. Personally I think that people just need to get over it, who the fuck cares about what some Bogun/Gook/Rag-Head/Nigger/Slant-eye/Curry says? Being the result of an interracial relationship I dont fit into either community like Iwould if I was a distinct race. I get teased occasionally with stuff like "half-blood" and "mutt" but I dont care.

Its about time that people just stopped caring.

having different cultures under one roof or country is a good thing

it helps us understand what makes us human

and it helps broaden our perspective on life itself by understanding other cultures- not just tolerating them

How can people not accept the concept of "race"? It's pretty pathetic of someone to expect society to ignore such differences.

Ok then can you explain what a 'race' is?
Can you tell me what the different characteristics of a different race is?

You cannot. It is a made up, invented way to differentiate between humans.

If there is no such concept of Race, then the idea of racism is lost. I’ll remember that next time I bump into you, ‘ya fucking ape looking Niger piece of shit’.

That's stupid, just because perhaps I no longer care as much about which race I am doesn't mean that I've got no problem with someone swearing at me like a moron.

Very well then, ignore it, if you must. But please do not duck my point, where does the concept of no human race, leave “racism”?

 

[Not-That-Bright]

When people reject the concept that there are races then racism should go away.

>>>When people reject the concept that there are races then racism should go away.

But there are large genetic differences amongst humans, surely, we can not ignores these. Therefore the concept of race will be embedded in your average mans psyche until there are no more individually unique characteristics amongst certain populations. This could take some time.

I guess if we were to use your logic, Hitler was rite, eliminate the idea of “race” and just have a human race. This would be much quicker in meeting your statement, than the previous proposal. Any one up for Rahowa? Its for a good cause, to stop racism.

What are you talking about? Of course there will be differences, and people will be picked on for their individual short-commings... This does not mean that racism will continue.

There are not really large genetic differences between different populations of humans... If there are these differences could you please state them for me? I am not just talking about physical characteristics, but the other characteristics which are often tied into race i.e. stupidity/immorality/etc.

Hitler was wrong because his first assumption, that there is more than 1 human race in existance was wrong.

there are differences, and ofcourse it's impossible to avoid it, but discussing those differences without swearing and being disrespectful would reduce the amount of crime or racism or anything, if one just automatically jumps on a person and puts a knife to their throat just over one of the differences, for eg, they have dark skin, then this leads to hate, and ofcourse the other person has a feeling, or need to respond, it's the starting point that people have to avoid, as in, they have to keep the discussion within reasonable context, if one won't listen to the other and just assumes things and says "fuck you.....etc etc" then ofcourse it provokes the other race to do something back, people should apologise for such actions, but they shouldnt start violence in the first place if they wan't to avoid racism, it's only the way of speech that leads people to racism and to death, in some cases.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

there are differences

Can you please discribe these differences? And tell me what exactly a 'race' is?

 

[==GUMBY==]

>>>What are you talking about?

A French Canadian man once asked me the length of my penis, I found it offensive. Please refrain.

>>>Of course there will be differences, and people will be picked on for their individual short-commings... This does not mean that racism will continue.

If these are ‘racial shortcomings’ and ‘they’ are being picking on for them, than yes, that is racism, so you are wrong, racism will continue until:

1] Everybody magically begins to not discriminate, stereotype or “pick” as you put it at the various genetic racial characteristics between humans [Unlikely]
2] there is but ONE race, with one set of racial characteristics. [again, unlikely]

Racism is here to stay.

>>>There are not really large genetic differences between different populations of humans...

But there are differences, undeniable differences, and small DNA difference and or genetic trait can cause huge physical differences on the outside perception of a community [for example; line up a tall blonde Nordic man from Sweden, next to small black Papua New Guinean, it may be a small genetic difference but it creates a large physical gap on the outside- these will not be ignored by public].

>>>If there are these differences could you please state them for me?

I would go into physical characteristics, however, you specify not to in the latter part of your post.

>>>I am not just talking about physical characteristics, but the other characteristics which are often tied into race i.e. stupidity/immorality/etc.

I made no such claim, for now anyway. The problem with this, relies specially on reliable sources, many of which I will freely admit hold biases. I will continue my research at a latter point of time.

In terms of percentage of genetic difference, I was under the impression that the variation between races was in fact quite minimal.

There is one race, and they do have different characteristics but every group you would call a different 'race' can be broken up into individual characteristics...

There are undeniable differences within what you would call a racial group.

differences, as in culture, they were brought up differently, they may eat different things, they may have different ideas about girls or boys, i'm in an inter-racial relationship, there are unavoidable differences, but i'm saying people can work through that, relationship or not, if they discuss things and learn about eachother, without just screaming at each other, racism most likely happens when people don't know jack shit about eachother, they just go crazy after one of the people are too lazy to discuss things and just says "go back to (country)" etc. because they don't even listen to eachother.

What do you think if you were going out with someone from the same race it would be amazingly similar?

Also; Cultural differences are not linked to race. It is not someone's genetic disposition to love rice or anything...

 

[sparkl3z]

that's what i'm saying, since there are differences in your own race, then there is surely differences between your race and other races, but it does not have to lead to discrimination of each other.
