No, no, I actually partly agree with Kitteh_13...'twas just a jest attempt. :-------)

Approaching someone based on their gender is NORMAL.
Approaching someone based on their skin is NOT.

There are plenty of people of all races that are just like me.
Believe the same things I believe, live under the same conditions.

The color of your skin does not make you a certain kind of person.
I thought we were all past this already

Lol. I get what you're saying, Kitteh. My only difference in stance is that I don't think everyone is racist, not consciously. Subconsciously there is that 'fear the stranger' instinct within our minds and what is reinforced throughout childhood. It's definitely a realists position you're taking, but, and purely in my opinion, an cynical one. We have higher thoughts and intellect to overcome those instincts, if used wisely.

Racism will never disappear since ethical intergration doesn't solve issues of race, only close personal contact and interaction will allow people to see the error in stereotyping and fearing others.

I agree with Kitteh. Realist or idealist, it's a truth we have to face.

There are sometimes just these differences that gets you so frustrated, and it drives you up the wall. I have to be fair, race equals to culture, despite what AQVXZ11 says. In turn, I would like to ask those who claims they are totally against it and condemn it, together with the people who knows it is real.

Is it just that you have not met others around you would have yet to be integerated into your society, whuch you are comfortable with, or is it that you are just that idealistic? I doubt anyone would say the latter. I won't give specific examples, but just a few words: experience it, touch it, and work with it before you say anything.

I'm not really racist, I just hate stupid people. I hate when people come from a country where there are dangerous, wild dogs that kill people and then they teach their children to fear ALL dogs because of it. Just because a dog is dangerous in their own country, they assume all dogs are vicious and will kill people. I actually asked one and that was what she said, that all dogs were murderers and that was a fact nobody could ever change. She even said people who owned dogs were murderers.

Another thing I hate is when they try to keep their children from integrating with kids that aren't the same race they are. I actually saw a woman drag her kid away from a white kid to some kids of her own race, then did the same thing when the kid went over to a black kid. She actually hit him and yelled at him for trying to play with kids of other races, at least I think she did because she couldn't speak English at all. Teaching racism and fear to a child because of your race, beliefs, fears and religion is by far the stupidest form of racism.

I hate racism that is meant to down and out offend those it's used against.
But when people hear something and go 'OMG! that's liek racist~!' to something that's not, just freakin' annoys me >_> (It happens a lot, so people get confused and wonder if they should be offended by stuff they're already not :/).

In my opinion, race doesn't matter in the least. A person's actions and words do. I don't even see why some people say race determines what kind of person you are. That makes no sense. >.> Most stereotypes are ridiculously stupid when you think about it, too.

not sure if racist
i have a problem with some ppl like say
gypsies
atm they crisscross EU and beg
they are in all cities in my country and the diffrent gypsy camps fight each other over who has the right to be outside of this and that store or whos turn it is to beg by the trains

and where they live they tend to leave a huge mess and...they often come into problems with the law since stealing seems to be in their nature

not saying all gypsies are a problem
just that
they do not want to educate themselfs
they do not want to earn a living doing hard work
and they tend to be criminal
their clan mentality forbids them from changing their life

the soviet treatment during that period seems to be the best way to treat ppl like that
but the russians and other eastern EU countries had to say sorry to the gypsy leaders some years ago for trying to actually make them part of society
so i guess i am a racist lol
