What are your honest thoughts on Racism? Please be truthful and if your racist with mates say and with your thoughts on it.
In my opinion I hate it and think it is pretty disgraceful, picking on someone because of their colour of skin which they cannot help "/ I never joke about racism with my mates because I just don't think racism is right atall.
I dont find myself as a racist type to be honest but in all honesty it happens all over its just the way of life nothing can be done to stop it people have there thoughts and views we may not agree with it but still not much you can do. But im not racist to be honest so thats that.

I think hate like what is going on in Zimbarbwe against the Whites is terrible, but sometimes Political Correctness just takes over ;l
EG: Black Lads call some White Lads Milk Bottles and if the White Lads call the Black Lads Chocolate then the whites would get jailed in this country or fined while the Blacks would be let off with it.
Racism is bad but it get's out of control when someone like Labour is in power.

Honestly - Yes I am a racist. Why should I try to hide that fact?
But, sometimes you can meet some great people of a different race - and to those people I am not racist.

...Er, where'd you get that from? There's no laws about racism, it's called freedom of speech. Despite the fact that the Police and the courts are all socially racist, you can't get charged for that sort of thing.
As of racism, you could say that I'm racist in certain aspects, no it has nothing to do with the colour of their skin, it's just the common nature of their social backgrounds. I don't judge them prima facie, I judge on my own experiences with different people of different races. I'm not very socially inclined with anyone but white people, I come from Bristol where over 90% of the population (don't quote me) is white. However, the occasional time where I have come into contact, it's not been very welcoming so to speak. I suppose I'm yet to see what some people are really like, for instance I find middle easterm people very rude and unsociable, by their standards and traditions I know this is perfectly acceptable but I don't find it should be in England. This relates alot to the recent debate on women muslim women wearing hijabs, they've publicly banned it in France, I'm surprised it's being considered so controversial here.

i AM racist occasionally?
i mean, you must read papers? the 'asians' that RACIALLY TARGETED a white boy, only 15. they burned that poor boy alive. I walk into my local shop ran by an 'asian' and she shouts abuse at me like "******" "*****" for no reason... and also says racist stuff too. I of course shout stuff back at her in scottish slang because she's thick and can barely speak english.
i'm normally raicst with mates, only when provoked.

Yes, publicity of racism is all on the minority's side.
in scotland, even glasgow... it's still EXTREMELY dominated by all whites. you'll actually find that about 98% aren't racist to their faces and give 'them' abuse for nothing.
and, i'm not just saying this from a little cave. been there done that got the t-shirt, burnt the god damned t-shirt. I've seen it all, everyone is biased.
i'm not JUST racist for nothing, but that stupid dog in the shop is to me for nothing?

In a white society, I really don't think it matters if a black man is racist to a white man. It's sparse to find a white man in a white society who will take offense to being called a honky, or crackers by a black man.
Also you can not get prosecuted for being racist, this is a free country where us as people of the United Kingdom are allowed freedom of speech and have right of opinion.
If there's been a racist attack, then obviously the prosecution will be taken under the attack as assault, abh, gbh whatever it is. Generally though the papers will point out that the attack was owing to racism.

So being Racist is worse than being sexist? How about Ageist?
It's no worse than finding out someone is Gay and then never speaking to them again through fear of homophobia.
And the KKK - They actually took action against these people, they KILLED thousands of Jewish people, because of their religion.

Im not homophobic and i dont see why people are. Just because they love the same sex, doesnt mean the should be treated different. They are the same person, just prefer a different sex.
The kkk also killed thousands of black people just because of their skin colour. The kkk are wrong in my opinion anyway. They are still around today doing their biddings on stupid grounds.

The KKK did kill thousands of Jews and blacks. Plus being racist isn't judging someone by the colour of their skin it's by their race, I.E. aisian, african, caucaisian etc.

I never said you were homophobic. I'm just stating that by saying "Racism is the lowest form of patheticness", the statement can be justified and prooved wrong. Being a prejudice in general - well then maybe I would agree with you.
Yeah, i'm aware of the KKK and their actions, thanks. I don't agree with their actions, but it was there moral choice (Oh craig, your fave topic.. Ethics :p) to do this, other groups like the BNP (British National Party) are considered to be the modern day KKK - with less violence.

On this forum, people can find the little hints you are suggesting hurtful to them. You didnt exactly need to post blah blah blah oops. I know its your opinion and w.e but still should respect others.
Also, what made you think like that or were you always like that?
Also, thats a steryotypical view of people. Not all asians and blacks are like that. There are many people who claim benefits because they are lazy. Nothing to do with their colour. Also, there are many other races who provide us with good things such as oil, fuel, food etc.
So yea.

Well firstly isn't that a bit hypocritical, mocking someone's colour when they can be great people and you mock their colour yet you go and talk to/meet people of the same race? I don't see you doing the same with White people.
Well, i'm not racist with the colour of people, but yes i'm racist about all these people coming in our country and killing us etc,and with muslims blowing us up,why should we have to hide that fact?
Well that's pretty stereotypical, not every asylum seeker 'kills us' infact the majority is seeking 'asylum'/peace from their war-stricken homes.
I'll be truthful.

Oh I see we have a 'big and hard' racist on the forum who wants to look cool infront of 12 year olds. First of all you wouldn't go to say the racist term for a pakistani and then do '....' and change what your saying, your either going to delete the racist term or put it anyway. The same can be said about the racist term you were gonna say about african-american people. So not only did you purposely do this to make it look like you were gonna be racist twice, but you just made yourself look an idiot. Not all african-americans do crime, get involved with drugs or violence. Infact I can think of a hell of alot of WHITE English people who do violence, crime and drugs. And I am white, I'm just pointing out that white people aren't perfect like you seem to think "/

Racism is just totally wrong, I really cannot stand it. As many people have said why do people feel the need to discriminate and be nasty about people regarding their skin colour/race/sexuality/gender, when you've never even spoken to them? As for the people saying that the immigrants should get out of their country because they blow themselves up etc. You really shouldn't read the papers too much.. not all muslims are gonna come along and blow you up. The ones who do are brainwashed extremists and represent an extremely small proportion of the community. As for the comments of them being lazy and taking our benefits.. hah! Have you seen the amount of white, english families who live solely of state benefit? They outnumber the ones who are from other countries. Many asian and foreign people who come here, actually come to help our economy and work in our hospitals and health services etc. I doubt you'd refuse treatment from them on the basis that they were a different colour if you were in excrutiating pain.

I can be prejudice towards a race, yes. But then when I get to know the person for what they really are, I respect them for that. I can honestly say I'm quite media influenced on this - As I see alot of bad publicity on certain races, and agree with the judgements they make too.
Nah, as I said on MSN, maybe it wasn't quite 1000's, but I know they also killed loads of Jew's.

arabs = oil

Now now lets not get jippy, I was just pointing out the truth and then I receive some sarcasm in the first sentence!
You can be prejudice towards a race, but why? What gives you a thrill/kick out of it? Or atleast what is your motivation for it? I mean what have they really done to you that you must take the pee out of the colour of their skin for? It's quite sad really in my opinion because they can't help being a certain colour as it is genetic, so that's like mocking someone because of their heritage/tradition which I find pathetic "/ Cos I know I wouldn't like my heritage/family to be mocked for no reason, and I doubt you would. And you need to realise like 90% of media is biased just to get better stories and to sell more papers "/

My morals differ to yours, sue me for being brought up in a racist family. I don't lack the morals, they just differ to yours, which you can't seem to accept people having a different moral about it.
Stereotyping someone has black, when they're really half-cast, or well tanned; Like I did with you. Yeah, I may not always be joking, but I admit these things. Like I admit I am patronising too, I've learnt that sort of stuff about myself.
How? Well, because you will never see 2 people with exactly the same credentials as another person. Sometimes you may hear stuff about 1 person from another race who burnt down the local .. church, but you are friends with another person from the same race, am I supposed to go straight up to this person who burnt the church and say "oh you alright buddy, I heard what you did and I think you're well brave", or should I be truthful and go up to him and ask "Why did you burn down the church? Have the people who use it offend you? It's people like you who are giving a bad representation to your race." (maybe not exactly like that..)

So we got stuff we needed and went out, looked back in the window and theres to cheeky mares spraying air freshener and wiping the shelves we had touched and mopping the floor. So gave them a bit of abuse then went, then next thing we were getting followed round by this group of asian men but they went when we got back to the pub.

Not all racism is about skin color. Most racist people around today really dont care about your skin color, but they care about if you act like your skin color. Like a racist person can respect a black person if he is someone they can like, or if theyre like a white person. But the racism occurs when they cant tolerate black culture. Which technically, they can control.

that's not racism.
that's stereotyping.
they're slightly different:
racism is discrimination because of race, usually the superiority of one over another
stereotyping is generalizing a group of people, usually resulting in less interaction with that group

Just walking down the roads of Middlesbrough I get called things like: White honkey ECT.
I think it’s damn right out of order and I think we should inform the authorities tbh.
EDIT:
I also think it’s out of order that they move to an innocent city and have like 5-10 kids each then move on to a new wife. Within a few years of them living there they have took offer the place and it looks like south Africa or something.
If I didn’t know better I would say that there king or w/e has told them to so they can go to war with us in 20 years and out numbers us then rule the world.

What are your honest thoughts on Racism? Please be truthful and if your racist with mates say and with your thoughts on it.
In my opinion I hate it and think it is pretty disgraceful, picking on someone because of their colour of skin which they cannot help "/ I never joke about racism with my mates because I just don't think racism is right atall.
I just totally agree with what you have said. The other night some idiots
were outside the Kebab place we go to with a megaphone shouting racist chants. They are really nice people just earning a living like anybody else.
Right, i am not racist, i do not hate people BECAUSE there a different race.
In some cases, yes, i do hate people who are a different race but its not because the colour of there skin or the shape of there eyes.
For instance, i have a big problem with a large group of the sarmarlian men living in cardiff because they treat women disgracefully, yes it may be there religion or whatever but in my oponion they have no right to treat women like objects.
If i was to walk past a sarmarlian man in cardiff 3 out of 4 times they would make some sort of comment, pinch my bum etc.
They seem to think that just because British women wear more revealing clothes and make up etc it means they want that sort of attention. (They make there women wear the full letterbox lady robes)
Im sure there are some sarmarlian men/boys out there who arnt like this but in my experience, the majority are jerks.
If you think thats racism then whatever but tbh, i dont hate them for who they are, where there from. I hate them for the way they treat others.

I understand what you mean Bef, you don't hate them you hate their culture that they stand for, when they should adapt to our countrie's law's and culture's?
I'd truthfully stamp on their family jewel's if i was a girl and they did that to me, and set alight to their hair. HEAD HAIR.
I dislike cultures and minorities that come and 'invade' our country and disrespect it, and don't adapt? If we go visit a mosque say in isreal, we have to remove our shoes and women cover up. But when say pakistani's come to our country they don't adapt for us?

Same as Tom reallyyy.
I make the odd racist joke, but i do have muslim and halfcast friends, who i have nothing against.
So I can be kind of racist, but I'd never act on it, and I wouldn't judge a single person by their race.
When I'm racist it's usually with friends or family because my family are all pretty racist, pretty much everyone on this island is.
When you're on an island where like 99% of the people are white, you can't really expect people not to be making racist jokes and stuff.
I don't think anythings wrong with racism when it's done jokingly though, it's only a real problem when people act on it.
And Craig wth, you make a thread asking for peoples honest opinions, then practically tell them their opinions are wrong?
You should accept that people have differemt views on things.

Have the people who use it offend you? It's people like you who are giving a bad representation to your race." (maybe not exactly like that..)
Trying to make people an idiot? You called me jippy yet I was just trying to find out your motive for racism etc. Who said my family isn't racist? Well none of them are actually but just because my family aren't racist doesn't mean I have to not be. I can accept different morals but on a big scale like this how can they differ? Racism is racism, if your going to be racist your going to lack in morals in this scenario, yours aren't different you just seem to lack them. I can accept people having other opinions yet I will argue my opinion against it and try and rationalise their opinion to see if they think differently. In this example of a church you shouldn't greet him but you should ask him why he did it, but just because he might be a different race doesn't mean you need to be racist about it "/ So you can be NOT racist and still ask them the question, just because they did something bad doesn't mean you should be racist cos there is a hell of alot of people who are the same race as other people and you wouldn't be racist to them about it. You should say, as you said 'You are giving a bad reputation to your race', but equally white people such as Ian Huntley, Pete Doherty etc are giving a bad name to white people, so I don't see what's different just because they are a different colour cos all races have bad/evil people in them.
ooer. i guess everyone does that to an extent. but i dont make judgement on whether they're gonna be decent or not based on their race..
Exactly, that's how it should be done.
Why not accept racists for who they are? Theyre people too.
Yes they are people but thats like saying 'Why not accept murders for who they are' because some racists take it as far as killing people of a different race.
Thank god there's no other type's of people in my neighbourhood. yet :rolleyes:.
Explain what you mean by "other type's of people" please "/
I don't agree with racism nor do I think it's accepted or acceptable, but it's like social drinkers? Most people have some banter with some friends when it's goin' really. As i've said, it only seems as if white's are getting persecuted for racism when it's far from JUST whites?
Actually if you read this thread most of the people are commenting on asian people mainly, I am just showing them that white people aren't exactly 'angels'.
I just totally agree with what you have said. The other night some idiots
were outside the Kebab place we go to with a megaphone shouting racist chants. They are really nice people just earning a living like anybody else.
Exactly, what does that acheive? Do they think they're big and hard because of it? Lack of intelligence really.
I understand what you mean Bef, you don't hate them you hate their culture that they stand for, when they should adapt to our countrie's law's and culture's?
I dislike cultures and minorities that come and 'invade' our country and disrespect it, and don't adapt? If we go visit a mosque say in isreal, we have to remove our shoes and women cover up. But when say pakistani's come to our country they don't adapt for us?
Actually if you think about anyone that you know who has emigrated/'invaded[as you blunty put it "/] say to Spain or America for instance where alot of British people emigrate to. Do they suddenly become the same religion as the Spanish people? No they don't and that is exactly what the immigrants are doing. Would British people who emigrate adapt to cultures of a different country? I'm damn sure they wouldn't as they have been brought up with tradition and wouldn't do that "/ So see it from a British perspective when you start stereotyping.
And Craig wth, you make a thread asking for peoples honest opinions, then practically tell them their opinions are wrong?
You should accept that people have differemt views on things.
I ask for their opinions fair enough, but then I compare it to my opinion and let them see a different perspective which they often don't do, thinking that their ethnicity is perfect and don't do crime etc "/

But thats not hypocritical. Everyone says "those stupid/mean/idiotic racists shouldnt judge, and accept people for who they are", but isnt calling them idiotic and stupid judging?

Well I personally just say "Those racists shouldn't judge", I don't tend to call them idiots or whatever when they could be pretty smart, even if what they are saying isn't smart:P

Indeed, but if you look through the pages, everyone is saying "racists are disgusting"... isnt that defeating the purpose? Youre right though.
And by the way, Im just argueing the stuff for the sake of arguement. Not because I really have a strong oppinion about it

Yes, but thats still judging, still hypocritical. Trust me, Im not defending racism, but actions are different than words. Its like me saying I hate dogs, but that should be acceptable, but if I killed dogs, that shouldnt be.
Most racists dont act upon it these days.

I make a few politically correct jokes. Like whenever someone says 'black'--I mean black for describing anything, like a book--I stop them and say "No! African American".

Reminds me of a family guy quote.
Brian: Uh, Peter according to this you're not a genius. In fact you're mentally handy capped.
Peter: Oh yeah? Well would a mentally handy capped guy have hired a bulldozer with a drunk driver to level half of his house in celebration of his fantastic test results?
Brian: Uh, maybe.
Peter: Oh.
Peter: Don't say mentally handy capped Chris, we prefer to be called little people.
As long as racist jokes are not really hurtful they are acceptable. Just stereotypes. With stereotype jokes people should know that the joke teller doesnt really think that "ALL" blonds or Asians ect. are like that.
Edit had to substatute "handy capped" for the word which was there before.

haha at the people who said "they come to take our benefits"
Well the UK invaded loads of countries and took all their money, so I dont know what the hell you are on about.
Also I would go on about how many asians etc own businesses here and how the richest man in the UK is Indian ... but I cba.
For example ... I moved to the UK 6 years ago, my dad owns like 3 businesses here and has around 50 staff - so er, he is helping the economy, not taking benefits.

I spose I make racist jokes sometimes, but that's about it. I don't really consider myself racist as I don't have anything against other races.

Nope. Racist is offending another race, by calling them nicknames or discriminating them because of their skin colour.
I think that some people have opinions, which may be racist, but they keep it personal. Which I think is OK. (My Opinion)
I don't really care, we're all the same. What makes them any different? I do get annoyed when we get a lot of foreign people coming to our country, and living off the tax my family pay for benefits. But that's my opinion, we all have different views.
