"post" means after. thus "post-racism" means "after racism." it's used to refer to the time when racism doesnt exist anymore, which probably wont be for a long time.

I haven't heard of the word before but according to this website, post-racial means......

Defining the Term

A true definition is undoubtedly hard to come by, as the term and connotations of the term are dubious. The idea of a post-racial society, in its most basic form, is a society in which race is no longer significant or important.



I'm not to sure though.

Racism sucks, one of my so called "friends" made fun of this new girls race and I hate racists, so I stuck up for her and now I'm not talking to him. I'm now friends with the new girl.

globablization will have to go a long way. we'll all have to be so mixed from various races that itll be impossible to distinguish each other apart.

It's still not alright to be a racist though! I believe that there is a god and he created us all, made us all different. Religion will never die out becuase people will stay loyal to it.

I wouldn't say that I'm a racist but I'd admit to the fact that previously, i have made comments which you could put down to being racist but I'm not a racist by a long shot. I'm sure most people, if not everyone has made comments before which could be seen as being racist.

I have a mixed group of friends, most of them belonging to a different religion/nationality and we all take the piss out of each other's religion and culture. We mean no harm at all.

If people stop making comments about skin colour we'll still find some difference to pick on. Humans aren't naturally equal or identical

You sound exactly like my friend, he's rich as **** and when I ask him why he's so snobby he says "it's because I'm superior to them"

I was like lol k and he acted like it to me for awhile.

I punched him in the face.

I don't actually know how much his family has but I've been told it's a few million.

And Tom, he's hardly superior when he's crying because his one and only friend nearly broke his nose.
