Things that piss you off Page 70

Quite a sad situation when you consider everyone Racist, I don't consider myself racist, even though when I was a lot younger (and a lot more ignorant) I didn’t understand culture and racial issues as much as I do now.

I can assure you everyone is not a racist; it's a very big generalisation you're making.

Everyone is a little bit racist. Doesn't mean you go around proclaiming "death to the darkies, 'cos we're superior!" though.

Of course, that's going by the 'common' definition of racism. If we go by the OED definition (to paraphrase, "the belief that one race is inherently superior to one or more other races"), then very few people are.

I don't believe that for a second! Sorry but no! Not everyone is racist, not even a hint. People may hold misguided beliefs from the way they were raised or the community they live in even though they have good intentions and just don't understand but that doesn't apply to everyone. Everyone is different. If you really can't see past the colour of someone's skin or nationality ( and that goes for all ) then that's your problem. I personally see a PERSON.

I refer you to the first line of my previous post.

I understand what you're trying to say Aaron, but I still don't see it, not everyone is racist, I agree that certain people will have differing ideas on a certain race, but that's down to someone not understanding a situation/culture, not necessarily being racist.

That's what I tried to say but he said it better!

Yeah, and that's exactly what is considered 'racist' by a worryingly large number of people.

Mostly readers of The Sun, I expect.

I best not tell you I read The Sun now and again then.

I only read it for a couple of reasons I swear!

Both on the page after two but before four?

Very big, bouncy, well-rounded and artificially constructed reasons.

*Day dreams*
