How has racism effected you?

I agree with your latest post, Nick. :o

It annoys me when people classify racism as "white people against everyone else" instead of "so-and-so race versus so-and-so race". :( But basically, racism has affected me in this: a government foreign exchange program that is for students that make good grades and wish to live/learn in a foreign country of their choice (one year). However, it explicitly states that it is looking for non-white people to "show other countries the diversity of America".

 

Also, I think race is too sensitive an issue. Everyone went crazy because we have a half-black president... that means equally white and equally black, not just black. Skin color doesn't usually matter anyway, so why should we care? Judge people as individuals, not as a glob of race. For example, how black students can get into colleges with poorer grades than whites, and can even get scholarships based upon their skin color.

 

Everyone wants to be politically correct. I'm a straight, white male from a Christian family. God help me.

As if other nations aren't aware of the fact that people from all over the world have been pouring into our nation since its birth?
