I'm against racism because the claims racists make have been proven false by science.

Dumb thread.

Should have been closed already.

Why not save mods the trouble and just delete it, Deci?

i'm asking because it's very rare that someone gets called an ignorant racist or whatever if he says he hates cats. even though it's exactly the same thing.<

I agree that humans are just another species of animal it's just that we've evolved further than others in terms of intelligence (generally).  I would say that a person who doesn't like cats but likes dogs isn't racist because that is personal taste.  You can dislike black people on the personal level and not be racist, but if you specifically dislike because of the colour of their skin then I'd class that as racial discrimination.  It is true that disliking cats because they are cats and disliking blacks because they are blacks is very similar, but in general, racism is dislike of a person for their ethnic background.  I don't think cats have official ethnic backgrounds.

Red rooster you elitist bastard.

"no friends with lower class people because many of them tend to be thugs and the parasites of society."

That's in my book racism even if the actual name is discrimination.

I have friends from all walks of life, even what you would call skin heads even though I'm not a native. Deep down we are all the same, different because who we know and what we individually see are different. Although that doesnt really make sense.

But I'm a socialist anyway so thats just how I see it.

"Red rooster you elitist bastard."

It is humanly not possible to love everyone of every class. I am part of the middle class and I do see something wrong with the way MOST lower class people act. Maybe it is not their fault that they act that way but it is not my fault that I don't want to be friends with them. I like to have friends who have similar interests and are not into drugs and 'representing your hood'

Also lower class people have a choice to act normal but many choose not to. While black people dont have the choice to change the color of their so it is irrational to dislike them on those grounds

i am against racism because it promotes hate between groups domestically that will hurt the stability of the area.

i really dont care if you dont go after black women, but hating blacks is a far different thing. as for Deci's example. prefering dogs to cats is one thing, killing cats is another.

i can't believe no one has said this already, or maybe i missed it..

racism is stupid because we're all the same, we are all humans...

every race, every culture, has its bad seeds, there is NO RACE that does not have its bad seeds

Black people - crips, bloods?
White people - KKK, (a lot of serial killers)
Chinese/Asians - Triads, other smaller gangs
Brown people - suicide bombers, some famous serial killers

If you say one race has bad people, there is a 100% chance that your race has bad people as well, in the same amount as well (it's a different story if we hear about one race's problems more)

WE ARE ALL THE SAME FRIGIN PEOPLE thus discriminating against or being racist towards a certain race is simply childish and stupid...

May I remind you that the only way I'm leaving this thread open is when there's a serious discussion going on. If more people start flaming, or trolling, it'll be closed.. This thread's on a sharp edge, the slightest mistake, and it's dead..
