i dont think i was ever racist. maybe sometimes a little misogynist because unfortunately that is the PUB ATMOSPHERE here but racist ever. in fact, when i was a kid and i saw people use the word "indian" as an insult for stupid i would always yell at them. i still do....

anyway, i was surprised when i started living in the us how everything is so racist and segregated. hispanics eat with hispanics, whites with whites, etc. in mexico, i had friends from every color and size and i dont think we where really conscious about it.

I too grew up in Toronto so my whole little gang consisted of one indian, one white, one asian, one black, etc. so there wasn't even any notion of racism back then.

I'd say I'm kind of racist now towards the black subculture because I live in an area that's CLEARLY divided...as in suburban white housing right next to low income black housing and all the black males are pretty much gangsters who cause a lot of shit and it makes you scared for your life to walk out in your own neighbourhood in the night which is pretty ridiculous. Other than that I'm fine with indians, asians, etc. A lot of people I know are really racist towards asian people but I'm fine with them, I guess, seeing as how my girlfriend is asian and as are half my friends.

When I was in 6th grade I was a huge japfag and a retard. I was also a huge racist. Basically I hated everybody, fuckin crackers, fuckin n****rs, fuckin chinamen, fuckin spiks, everyone. Because well, I was a messed up kid. I also got banned from many forums including this one for my constant stupid racist antics. I don't know how I grew into this but I was a "true" racist up until like 8th grade when some GWers beat it out of me.... than I realized I was stupid.

Of course I try to respect everyone, but I always somehow fuck up and say something racist. I don't think of myself as a racist but if someone asks I usually say yes. I don't discriminate but I'll always say shit about white people and whatnot. Also I still hate chinamen but that's it. I try to be not racist and chill wit everyone.

But I really hate the way people around here are treating eastern Asians. A lot of people don't think "chinaman" of offensive and go around saying shit like "CHING CHING WONG WONG" "you're asian you shoot people" etc. Also lots of whities call me "v-tech" yeah I may look like him but apparently it's funny to do that because they can't stop laughing after they say that. I mean I got good hispanic friends but some of them just won't stop going like "WAZZAP CHING CHONG DONG DONG FONG YEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH". I get this kinda all the time it sucks.

I honestly don't think I'm racist, I'm more classist (if thats the word and 'a' word). I hate anyone of any race who I see as scum, it doesnt matter what background they come from if they are a drugged up criminal who does nothing with their life except "bludge off the dole" (For non-Australians, google this phrase to understand it) then I will treat them with nothing but disdain. Actually I treat most people with disdain, it seems to be my natural default setting when meeting new people. Though I do hold some extra hatred for White Trash (being white myself I don't know if this is significant or not).

I'm not racist, I share my hatred for the human race around eqaully.

I used to "translate" to my friends ghetto talk and say alot of racist shit in ironic ways (I still do that (its a tough habit to beat(kind of like using the words gay, faggot, twink)))

But I do remember being like a REALLY racist little kid, I didn't HATE anyone because they were a different race. But I said some really fucked up shit.

Like, this black kid used to always run faster than me in PE and I kept yelling at him "THE ONLY REASON YOU'RE FASTER IS BECAUSE OF YOU'RE BLACK!!"

later on he stopped running at all and just walked the track, I don't know if its because of what I said though.

When I turned on the TV and only saw white people, I threw up. That's when I realized that white people are useless scum.

We call that being 13. I think everyone has that phase for about a year.

the first black person I met was some really dark (blackest of black) African athlete who was visiting my uncle (also an athlete). The black guy was really tall and weird looking to a 4 years old and when he shook my hand I rushed to the bathroom to wipe the black off my hand before it spreads to the rest of my body

yeah :(

 The 'neighborhood' I live in is almost entirely card-carrying KKK members so a lot of people in the area are really racist because nobody actually knows any blacks so when they hear a group of kids preaching about how 'niggers are ruinin' society' and 'string 'em up!' they just go along with it ((to be popular) my area is almost entirely worthless human beings)

There used to be only like, one black dude in like a 20 mile radius and he lived with us. He was also the biggest dick I've ever met and grounded me every single day. Also his nephews would steal video games from me and it was overall really terrible experience for me.  Since they were the only black people I knew and I was like 8-9, I assumed all black people were assholes.

There are literally 5 black people that live in my area now, and I'm friends with one of them (thus becoming friends with the other four (his family) i guess??). I stand up for them whenever I hear racist bullshit being spouted, so I guess I'm not racist, although I get really uncomfortable in ghetto areas of the cities nearby.

i live in an area which pretty much 90% of the people are either pakistani, bangladeshi or indian. idk if this is is PREJUDICE or anything but i tend to stay away from pakistanis, because of my own experience with them(though i do have friends who are pakistani).
i used to be really racist though, like i used to HATE WHITE/ASIANS and only liked people who were african. there is a hindu dude in my class(im cool with him now) and i used to be COMPLETELY PREJUDICED towards him. i had total disregard for anything he had to say and i wouldn't say YOU HINDU FUCK but i would make it obvious that i didn't like him.

these days im completely moderate and do not care for race, but i'll make stereotypical jokes to my friends(not serious at all, just like to MESS AROUND and i wouldn't care for their reply).

basically if someone's a dick i'll make it clear that YOU ARE A DICK and if they're cool then i don't care about them


this post is very abstract sorry for any IMPROPER SEMANTICS/STRUCTURE OF POST

I don't really get why people say "well I used to be racist against X but now I am friends with individuals of race X so now I'm not racist at all". Do you people keep some sort of checklist? Are you still racist about every other ethnicity you haven't encountered yet? When you meet a stranger of race X, do you assume that person will be the same as the people of race X you have already met? If you answer yes to any of these questions, how does that not make you a racist?

Personally, I'm politically correct. Not the thesaurus-wielding kind, the 'leaving that stupid stuff out' kind. Except Americans. Though I guess that isn't so much racism as it is making silly jokes about silly people.

that is racism????
if I walk up to you and said "two niggers walk into a bar...blablabla *bad racist joke punchline*" and said "oh it's just a silly joke about silly people" would that be cool with you?

also I suppose we are all definitely racists because it's kind of human nature to do those things you know! like, if I encounter a dog and it growls at me, the next time I encounter a dog, I will assume it will growl at me (especially if I was a young child). now I'm gonna continue with this dog analogy for a bit. So now I've had a bad experience with a dog, I think all dogs are terrible. I hate dogs. I meet four more dogs, who are all nice and friendly. Now I like dogs, and think that first one was just an asshole dog. Now replace dogs with [ethnic ][/ethnic]. See it works exactly the same.

No, because you'd be lying. And I meant 'plural of person' people, not 'group' people. And I guess I shouldn't have said 'Americans', but rather 'capitalists', 'christians', 'fascists', and 'patriots'. It's not so much the people that are born in the USA but rather the mindset of the USA. I'm sorry if I offended you.

I never said I didn't discriminate based on beliefs. In my opinion, it's okay to dislike nazis or hippies or marxists, or other things you only know about people after meeting them.

I can safely say I was never racist in the slightest.

However, I would - in a heartbeat - cross the street to avoid a bunch of black thugs :)

I don't consider this racism... I consider it self-preservation.
