Study: "White People Avoid Race Topics"

[scootlaboot]

Isn't it Racist to say that it's only white people who are racist towards blacks....it can work the other way around except white people don't have a discriminating history

 

This is what we call a double standard.

This lady was doing a presentation at my school about black history month.

 

Most ignorant person I've ever heard present something.

 

I would have called her on it, but the auditorium was filled with 300+ kids, and I'd just get yelled at by the [wagon] jock kids, and the [bleep] preppy kids. And, there are a couple of black kids who have guns. I don't wanna get shot.

 

Why did they pick February as Black History Month?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because its the shortest month of the year.

 

So they should move it to march?

 

And make february asian history month?

 

Hey hey hey!

 

No need for that! I am tall for an asian :( (i.e 5"4)

I think I might emigrate then lol. Being tall would be a novelty for me since I'm only 5"5 with no chance of growing any more.

It also makes you a better target for snipers. Always remember that.

I don't avoid race topics, though I won't be the one saying jokes such as "a black guy, a jewish man, and a mexican walk into a bar...." just as a example. Society is too sensitized these days, any little thing could be seen as offensive. I'm sure others have said this before me but it is true unfortunately.

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: I'm 6'2 half Asian and half Caucasian.

[firanzo1]

Alot of black people/Asians feel the need for revenge after what white people did to them for the few hundred years past. So now they're trying to make excuses to intimidate white people. It'll die down soon... (20, 50, 100 years?)

White people did something to the asians?

America nuked Japan during WWII and I don't think they'd get over something like that so lightly.

[AceBeam]

Oh yeeaahh, that whole thing. Yeah, that was pretty evil.

 

Wait. Weren't the Japanese sided with the Axis?

[Zierro]

Yes. America were the Allies. Germany and Japan were the Axis Powers.

[AceBeam]

So why are the japanese so mad?

 

They attacked the Allies, just as the Allies were attacking the Axis.

 

Both were in the wrong. During that time they were both wronging each other, yet america and the rest of the Ally forces arent mad at Japan anymore.

 

(Sorry if I seem like an [wagon] or anything for saying this, or whatever reason.)

[Zierro]

Well, we attacked their innocent civilians. The nukes were unleashed upon two major cities in Japan. They only bombed Pearl Harbor.

 

 

 

Does this justify their hatred towards us? Of course not. If anything, they should only take their anger out on the people who were actually involved with making that decision. But it's just like the whole ordeal with blacks and whites. All white people have to watch what they say thanks to a few slave owners in America years and years and years ago. Very few whites actually had anything to do with the racism I'm talking about when compared to the entire white population.

Ohhh....

 

Your Avvy died.

Britain colonised us in Malaysia until the Japs rescued us in 1941. They surrendered in 1945 and the British came back and rewrote history, saying the Japs were evil. I know they weren't because my grandpa worked and made friends with the Japanese.

[scootlaboot]

Most of my family immigrated to America after slavery was abolished. Therefore, I do not feel guilty for slavery, and do not back down when it comes down to race topics. I also think that the only race that has any right to complain, in America, are Native Americans, and maybe the Japanese who were put in concentration camps in WWII.

[mmmcannibalism]

my official philosophy is that anyone in my family generations back that had slaves is long dead, I never met them, and Id give them a firm kick in the jewels if I met them. If Im supposed to be guilty for something my great great great great grandparents did then Im just going to do the "wrong" thing.

The Japanese-Americans weren't put in Concentration Camps. You're thinking of the funny looking guy with the weird square mustache. The Japanese were put in camps, but they weren't tortured or killed. They were questioned in the camps, stayed there for a while, and I think they were all released within a year or two. I haven't really read up much on the Pacific side of the war though, so I could be wrong.

My family was among the first to migrate to America (before the United States was a country). I don't feel guilty for slavery. I think its stupid to feel guilty for something that happened before I was born.

 

 

 

You are thinking about the Japanese interment camps. I really think so much time has passed that Native Americans shouldn't really complain, and I don't know any that do. In America almost everyone you see has a little Native American in them. In my whole school there are maybe 200 people who don't at best. (out of 1200).

[Roberthree]

I routinely blame my problems on racism and say "its because im white isn't it?" so the people around me realize how ridiculous it sounds.

With every faction in every war, the common soldier was not "evil". Granted, some troops joined the army because they're bloodthirsty hunters, but most of them joined because of the adventure, national pride, their friends went, or got the draft. It disgusts me how people think all the Japanese and Germans were evil, only their leaders were. But even then, "evil" isn't really the right word to use.

 

 

 

Another thing that disgusts me is that how in the world no body ever knows/remembers of the Japanese Internment Camps? Where they were stripped off their property and sent off to poorly-made camps in the middle of the desert? Plus, being Canadian does not hide the fact that you should know this.

I missed this earlier, guess I should address it now

 

 

 

is it really fair to classify the nuking(justified while not necessarily good but bad choice of targets) as having anything to do with race? The reason we decided upon using nukes is that frankly the japanese are some of the ballsiest fighters in the world and we would have needed to kill nearly every man in that country otherwise. Thats a bit of an exaggeration but I think the total casualties were lowered with those nukes, we intended to nuke tokyo but decided it was too much collateral if I recall.

 

 

 

On topic

 

 

 

America doesnt get a good rep in any war except for racial tolerance, look up what Woodrow Wilson did/tolerated against germans during ww1

There is a big difference between how Axis POW's were treated compared to how they treated Allied POW's. While many were interred needlessly by the allies in less than perfect conditions, there were few cases of abuse (except by the Russians) compared to the widespread abuse of POW's by the Axis nations (primarily Japan & Germany - I'm not sure about Italy).

 

 

 

Also this whole notion of soldiers not being "evil" (I hate using the term) and it just being their leaders is terrible logic. The whole "following orders" routine was not accepted in the Nuremburg trials for a reason because it is a nonsense, people have to take responsibility for their individual actions. It wasn't Anybody with a conscience can tell that starving and gassing people in the camps was wrong and the same goes for the mass torture of POW's. To do these things for any cause is barbaric, the only possible excuse for their actions is that they were afraid of what would happen if they didn't follow orders, in which case they were cowards.

From the misquoted wisdom of Billy Connelly

 

 

 

"Welcome! Welcome out of the closet! Welcome to the real world where you can be made fun off like everyone else you poof! Don't like it? then get back in the closet!!"

 

 

 

I think the same thing applys to racism, multiculturalism is a two-way street.
