Now, I am not overly aware about the Commission of Racial Equality, but the fact that there is one suggests that there are many racial problems in society, with the United Kingdom being one of the most, if not THE most, multi cultural societies in the world - are they doing there job? I don't know, I don't know enough about them, but I don know this - racism sucks, racism is bad, lets learn to get along with one another - we're all the same because we are all different. And that my friends, is the truth.
So, they are doing a job, this commission, they have to keep racial equality in society, making sure any acts of discrimination are dealt with and changed - they aim to make racial discrimination a thing of the past, and yet are they doing this correctly? Well, racism has gotten a lot better, but still I know people who feel they have been turned down because of the colour of their skin, they report this discrimination and occasionally nothing happens.
Whether you are Asian, African, European, American, or Australasian, I will not hold any grudges against you - I am completely non racist, but then I do not hate racist people - what would that make me if I did hate them?! A racist, exactly. However, I disagree with their viewpoint, and I feel racism is a bad aspect of today's world, it happens non stop, and the situation is getting worse.
Pre-conception. People automatically make judgements about others just from the colour of their skin "oh, a group of white youths, they're only there to make trouble" and "Oh a rastafarian (apologies if miss spelled), he's surely on drugs", I do not like this stereotyping - everyone is entitled to their views, but racism is wrong, racial equality is right, and the world would be a better place if we could all get along with one another.
I have many Asian friends, I have many Indian, African and even some Chinese friends, I do not class any of them in a different way - they are all people, we are all the same, we're all different and that's why multi cultural societies are so interesting. Maybe you've been brought up to hate Americans, for instance. Maybe you have your 'reasons' why you do, but think this for a moment - what has happened in the past, has happened, everything happens for a reason, the world is a continuous cycle - and hatred in it can only slow that cycle & make it worse.
"Love thy neighbour" Well you don't have to, but if she's young, blonde and attractive then you have a good reason to! No honestly, I will not tell anyone how to live their lives, but if you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say it to offend them, that's how wars start. Religion is an important factor - contrasting beliefs, so what if you have a different God, or don't believe in God, or whatever? It's your life, you only get one turn, make it good for you, your friends and everyone around you.
Racial equality should not really be a phrase that is used because we should all get along anyway, but just over a 100 years ago, there was slavery, black people were discriminated against - difference scares people, and bad things happen. But today, if a certain person gets a job, over a different person, solely due to the colour of their skin then that sickens me and this attitude should be left in the past, and never again be taken up by human beings.
Thanks so much, racial equality is brilliant, we are all equal, no one is better than you, no one is worse.
You are yourself, utilise your life and become the best person you can.
Thanks

A (debatable) interesting opinion, but does that mean the only thing you talk about is women?
Do you perchance own a telescope and flasher's mac?

we live in a world where were not allowed to have preferences or ideas about others and other societys.
Everything is ok today.
Well no everything isnt accpetable.
Political correctness is getting out of hand.
I have been friends with people from different races and religous backgrounds i treat them with respect and as equal.
But i do make generalisations of people as a whole based on there colour or religion.
I believe that stereotypes exist for a reason.
Because steroetypes are born of facts.
This doesnt mean that i believe the stereotype im just aware that theres a reason it exists.
But what i remeber is is that there is an exception to every rule.
Im fed up with it being an issue today.
People cant we all just get along.
And why is the life category mixed in with football and sport.
Football is the most pathetic sport there is and is just an exscuse for blokes to have something to talk about other than women (a far superior topic).
This is just my opinion remember

yeah it's so awful, i live in burnley which a while back was all over the news for racial riots and violence but i have Asian mates at college who i give a friendly hi too and we lend each other fags now and again but some of my friends are strongly against it and won't even talk to them.
I do not see the problem!!
