Everyone's a little bit racists sometimes. It might be bad but racism can still be VERY funny and sometimes bring 2 groups closer. Lot's of people are racist towards me, I'm racist towards them, but together we can have fun being racist towards Jews or Muslims. I mean those guys really hates Muslims. Why can't we just kill everyone instead? People kinda annoy me.
I can agree with that to an extent, everyone has practiced a bit of un-hateful racism at some point, but it doesn't mean that the person IS racist, as long as they realize it was a mistake later and it is an isolated incident.Wayte said:
There is a spectrum here, people aren't RACIST or NOT RACIST, dealing in absolutes is almost never correct.
EDIT: It's like saying you have never wet the bed, it is a lie, but it's different from saying "I wet the bed frequently and don't think it is a problem at all"
I think you're a terribly ignorant person if you claim not to be rascist at all. Everyone is a little rascist, it's rational to be rascist. Example, here in the Netherlands the crime rate for foreigners is about twice/thrice as high as the crime rate of the original Dutchmen. Foreign youth is notorious for having a bad attitude and obnoxious behaviour, is it rascist to be more on your gaurd if you're passing a group of foreigners late at night? Yes, but it's reasonable because experience and statistics show you that you should be more on your guard. I disagree with openly displaying rascism but to deny it is stupid and pretentious.

First of all: As a genetics enthusiast I knew about this guys research before all of this bad press, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory was not denying he was doing it before the bad publicity but now they claim it never happened...
The reaction to James Watson's statements really piss me off. Not because I'm trying to be racist but because I hate it when politics fucks around with science. I'm the kind of person who supports the data regardless of what it says. If the data says "Saris Kai, throw these kitten into the river" then a whole bunch of kittens are going to die regardless of how I feel about it.
For those of you who don't take an intrest in genetics there is enough evidence already supporting that at least some parts of intelligence are genetic as researches have found the genes responsible for determining the neural-connectivity of an individual, those with higher neural-connectivity are universally smarter.
I can understand that people want to pretend everyone is equal but seriously, if this guy's research is saying they aren't (and he isn't the first, just a very high profile example) then maybe, I don't know, science could be right? I have not seen his data so I'm not saying hes right but people aren't giving his data the time of day because the controversy. Its just to unfashionable to risk actually looking at the data because in theory it could be right and whoever verifies it will get the same backlash.

I just laugh at racism and racist jokes because I don't take it seriously. When I go out fishing with my uncle I hear him using certain words to describe black people and mexicans and I just laugh. I don't try to stop him because I don't try to stop something that makes me laugh.
A person who is an asshole, is an asshole regardless of skin colour, religion, birthplace etc. Race doesn't factor in to it.
However if you you pull them up on it I find that some people will play the race card on you. I'm not racist, and I have friends of more nationalities and colours than I can even think to count thanks to a very multicultural upbringing and education. If someone is an asshole then I'm going to call them on it, and yes, I have been accused of being racist when I do.

Anyone who hates another person because of their skin color does not deserve the air they breath. They simply steal the oxygen away from intelligent people.
Most everyone here has probably had a thought that might be considered racist. Personally, I agree with the idea that immigrants from Mexico should learn to speak English before they come to our country. Is it racist? Maybe a little. But I'm okay with that.
If you're not running around committing hate crimes and passing over qualified individuals for promotions based on race, you're probably in the clear.
Of course, the kind of racism that leads to genocide, mass disenfranchisement, stuff like that... That's just wrong, and we all know it.

PC...(ness? itude?) is retarded with a capital wheelchair. Blacks and other minorities need to stop being so damn uppity about every little thing.
Yes, legitimate racism does suck, like, the KKK and stuff, but like, people getting angry about black zombies in L4D2, or, that black guy suing that restaurant because they could recognize the color of his skin:

Like, wtf, you clearly are a black couple, and lazy black couple at that who is looking for easy payouts from the guilt-ridden white populace.
The most powerful man in the world is black, so anyone who complains about the man keeping them down or oppression can fuck right off back to the 20th century.

Judge a man by his character, not by his colour or creed. That's the way I look at it.
I don't want to start a flame war here but, if people here are so opposed to judging people by where they come from or what they do, then why is there always so much hate towards members of a religion whenever a debate strikes up?

There doesn't need to e racist boundaries, then racism wouldn't exist. We wouldn't care if a person was a different colour because we'd think of them as just human not a different kind of human.
This thread is bs.
Too many of you are liberal pussies imo.
Racism is there because people of different races prefer to be around their own kin. It will always be there.
Racialism, which is the acknowledgement that there are differences between races, but not necessarily a hierarchy, is good.
