Nothing.
Race is human.
So, we're all humans unless you're an alien
And the only aliens I know of are the ones who smell and sneak across from Mexico to America.

Is that not racism? Or just stereotypeing? Either way I think its wrong.

Biologically, the difference between any two people on Earth is about .2 Percent.

All that does is change the looks of them.

IMO, Race is bull. I base people on their Culture, not what they look like.

I don't believe in racism the way the majority does. If you stamp on a black person's head cause they're black, thats racism.

But if you call him a stupid nigger, i don't think thats racism.

"BUT UR MAKING FUN OF HIS COLOUR AND HE CAN'T HELP BEING BORN LIKE THAT. SO THATS RACISM"

So i'm assuming calling someone an ugly bastard is also racist. Same with making fun of someone for being ginger, naturally big, naturally lanky, having weird hair, whatever. They can't help it, they were born with it. So why doesn't people consider it just as offensive as calling someone a dirty nigger, a stupid muslim, white trash, etc etc?


Namecalling is needed in this world. We'll never, ever get rid of it, its impossible. What if we did, though? I'll tell you what. We'll have a world full of complete pussies who can't deal with anything emotionally.

I hate persistent bullying, i think its absolutely disgusting and should NEVER be tolerated. But when you don't like someone and fling the word "nigger" at them, you're not doing it because you're racist. You're doing it because its the easiest thing you can pick on them about. The same way you fling an insult like "ginger pubes" at someone with ginger hair. Its not that you hate all ginger people, its that you hate the person.

He just so happens to be ginger, so you use that insult. Same goes with 99% of all racism.




I grew up being bullied because i used to be really fat. I spent about 12 years of school with it and you know something? I'm glad i was bullied. Maybe not then i wasn't, but enduring it built my strength up and give me the iron resolve i have today as a mind. I thank my bullies for that, in fact i've seen a couple of the people who used to give me crap when i've been out on a friday night or whatever, went up to them and shook their hand, thanking them for it.

Life is full of tests and the further into the deep end you're thrown, the faster you learn to swim. People who are baptised by fire might end up with a couple burns, but their pain threshold is a lot higher than others.


There has to be a balance between the two and extremist anti-everything isn't that balance. Hate everything bad and you wrap everyone in cotton wool and its cruel on the person because they'll never be able to cope with anything.


People need to grow balls.

A: Biolgically speaking we have 99.99% the same dna as an onion. So there.

B: Im with bromi on all of that. He swayed me on that whole: Is it racist to make fun of them for being naturally whatever. Its not technically racism, but its the same concept.

Calling people nigger, cracker, spic, it's still racism.

Those are names that insult their culture, and who they are.
