Title says it all.

What are your thoughts on racist people? I personally find it disgusting and completely idiotic. I have a lot of darker skinned friends, and we will occasionally have a joke or two with them about being darker skinned, but they don't care. As long as they know we're joking.

A lot of people back in earlier days thought black people were useless and weren't needed in the world, but that's just idiotic. Is a blue car better than a green car? Is it a red bike better than a pink bike? I don't think so. So why should people have a problem with darker people? It's pathetic.

Pretty muchh, I've been made fun of and it hurts more than any other insult.

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

Ignorant, stupid and idiotic. This includes black, white, Jew, Muslim, Catholic, Asian, [insert human quality here] racists.

And that includes my opinions on Sexists and Homophobes as well.

I also dislike rascism that raises those above others, such as when Obama got elected. He's black, but when they had all that fuss over how wonderful he was, he hadn't done anything yet. Rate him on his actions, not his skin colour.

Unforunately, religious racism is becoming more acceptable in our society (especially Jewish racism), so I think that it's important to mention these kinds of racisms as well instead of just Black racism. Admit it - everywhere you go, there's some joke about a Jew. And yet you don't hear anything about how wrong that is, and we're claiming we're better than the rest of the world because Black Racism is on its last leg. A black man has the same rights as a white man, but has a higher paycheck than a white woman or recieves more respect than a Jewish/Islamic man.

I'm suprised that Jewish Racism does not get the attention it deserves. It's rampant and people keep ignoring it. Literally, I'll walk somewhere and I'll hear people making fun of Jews in the background.

I'm not super sensitive to it, but it's just downright rude. (and they have yet to meet my rabbi, who is one of the nicest people I know).

I just pray to God that this doesn't start a riot.... if not a war. [/panic]

I always make jokes about stuff like this. Everyone knows I'm joking around, and if they don't, then I just told them I'm joking.

I wonder how Jew jokes came to existence.....

It doesn't matter where any kind of racist jokes came from, if you mean what you say when you're being a racist ass, it's disgusting no matter what.

Racism is funny. Really. It's pathetic seeing people trying to make jokes when we are all the same. But whats really funny is when people start making jokes about how Obama is black, they have to remember that he is also white.

Makes me laugh when people don't care about the white half of you. Just the black side.

My best bro is Black and I cannot let him near the house because everyone I live with that's not my mum is a racist. =/ It's really depressing how stupid people can be.
It seems that racism is not completely off the charts then. =/

It is sad. Does your family know of your friend?

I personally cannot stand racists, and I'll even lay the verbal smack-down on my own father, whom I respect greatly, when he gets all racist. I don't try to stop anyone from being racist but if a person near me says something racist, I will call them out on it. (No I dont start fights but I will say something like "Don't be such a racist" or something along those lines)

Yeah, they try to pretend they don't hate him.
It's kind of funny.

Sexists,homophobes,rascists,anti=semetic people...they're all ignorant.
I mean,I don't expect a straight man to be comfortable hanging with just a gay dude,but at least treat them with the respect of a human being.

I admit,i'm guilty of making jokes about Christian people.But I have friends that beleive in god and it doesn't bother me really as long as they don't force it all down my throat.

I personally, find racism to be ****ing funny.

My friends and I are always ripping on races, in our circle that is normal, and we like to analyze the stereotypes and just toss them at people.

We are evil, we know that.

We just really hate racist people, they are always telling us that we are the racists, honestly, I'm not offended if you call me a Beaner. and if ever i see a black guy I shout out ****** just to see how he reacts.

I mean, if you are not racist, it does not bother you.

Just like me, you hear it and laugh at the dude because he thought he was insulting you.

I just think it's funny.

I'm against racism and basically treating anyone like they are not as important than you just because of who they are. I'm pretty sure it's a given that no one is going to bash a certain race here though... I'm sure we're all more mature than that.

See, I live in a place where it's socially acceptable to be whatever you want to be. Any race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, nationality. It's really nice, but at times being in such a "diverse" places gets me peeved. I know that sounds bad, and I don't mean that I wish there wasn't diversity, but what happens in my town is this: People are too worried about being diverse, and they end up making fun of the "norm".
Almost no one I know has a problem making fun of Christians, or white people, or anything else that people consider "regular". I guess it's okay to crack a joke about an upper class white male (as my mates refer to them: Corporate Fat-cats) occasionally, but people don't stop and think before they make fun of someone who is white, or Christian, or wealthy.
Did you know that the many racial equality groups and anti-racism groups that come by the schools in my city don't ever mention white racism? Ever. Now, I know some of you will say "What racism, white people have it all good." But the thing is, there is white racism. Some of my friends and I get made fun of sometimes for being "crackas'" or even "whiteys". My Mexican friend and I even once received this piece of garbage from a black girl on our bus once: "You boys are nasty, unoriginal chocolate. Look at you, nasty white chocolate and Mexican chocolate. I'm the original chocolate." ( The part in bold was where she started talking louder)
Now, I'm not trying to diminish the fact that there is racism against other races. Many to all of the races have much bigger issues with racism, but I just wish that people would at least acknowledge that there is such a thing as racism against white people. But again, I'm against discrimination of any kind.
If I only had a heart...

Racism is disgusting, I mean its cruel to insult people because they may be a little different to you.

If it's a joke I find it acceptable as some of my friends who are Asian or blaxk insult themselves for laughs but that's a joke, if it's meant as a hurtful insult it is disgusting and intolerable.

Why's your name Penguin13?

And no, they might not. People will have different opinions on it. Some people joke around with their friends about their colour or religion or sex or whatever, while others might not.

You can't speak for the thousands of people on this forum, Penguin. You do that a lot.

I use racist jokes all the time. Half of them at my own race.

But racism is bad o_o
^That pretty much is just like me.

Racism is a stupidly hard and sensitive topic for the PokeCommunity. Very few of you take into account the possibility that racists have being raised wrong and know no better, you're all too quick on the trigger. My friend is a racist, and he's about 39. Here's the thing, he is one of the nicest guys you could know, the only reason he holds those backwards views is because he grew up in an area where he felt a minority and was raised to see "them" as the enemy.

Of course that doesn't apply to every racist, but as long as society keeps blasting at racists instead of trying to change them slowly things will never get better, it also doesn't help that the British Government is stupidly racist, as are most left wing political parties.

I never said all racists were mean or disrespectful now, did I?

Whilst some racists have grown up in areas where they know no different, the darker skinned people went through the exact same thing earlier on when the white people came to Australia, did they not? Their families were killed and taken hostage, their food was eaten, their water drunk and their houses ripped down. But still, most (but not all) darker skinned people have come to forgive us.

I didn't mention any specific names, sorry if I gave you the wrong impression.

But what I can see in your post, is a constant thing I notice in any racism based argument. You're referring to white people as white, but you wont use the term black for black people, why is that?

Also what happened to Aus and America should of never, ever being allowed to go unpunished, we all played our part in those monstrous acts of defiling native cultures.
