"Racism is Going Too Far"

Let's face it. Racism is something which has to stop.

Despite attempts on numerous occasions to prevent Racism from occuring, it has not stopped, as I am sure you will all know.

Also, words which are intended to be Racist are now being used merely as common insults.

But let's just get to the point; Racism is bad. It must be stopped. Right now. Who agrees?

Could also include mockery of a person's grasp of a language.

So you're not sure then? Test yourself then - every occurence in your life (past, future, resent) that involves a different race, take note of your thoughts and recall any racists thoughts. They can be trivial - for example, "Wow, that Chinese has small eyes" to "Damn, she got the job instead of me, but she won't last, she's black".

I don't think I am at all.

In which case, I agree also. Doesn't change the fact that we're still all racists though.

I agree with you pb. What we discriminate against is a lot to do with our upbringing, not completely, but mostly.

That doesn't make sense.
So you don't milk cows...you milk white?
Sounds evil to me.

I disagree, it's in our upbringing and the messages that society and the media send out. We pick up on these on a subconcious level, so without knowing it our minds are already basing our assumptions on the things we have been told.

Nothing in our DNA could make us think a certain way.

No, white.

Genetically, race doesn't exist.
Well, apparently. It's not like I did the research myself.
