How to racebait 101
That was a pretty good video, funny with a good message too.
A lot of those were not racism at all.
You want a white history month? Its white history month every month (and thats the way I like it)
[QUOTE=Pnukup;45832825]A lot of those were not racism at all.[/QUOTE] Like which ones?

[QUOTE=Pnukup;45835039]Why isn't it celebrated?[/QUOTE] There is no white history month because white people do not have a history of freeing themselves from centuries of systemic oppression to celebrate. Remember that it wasn't even 60 years ago that America still had "white people" "coloured people" drinking fountains, and that apartheid was very much a thing in South Africa (of all places!) until the 90s.

The part where the girl says she'd never date an Asian guy - does anybody actually find that racist? I mean, you're attracted to what you're attracted to. I'd never rule out the possibility of being attracted to people I'm usually not, but I don't think it's racist or discriminatory to like what you like about the features of other people. I don't want to start an argument, just genuinely curious on Facepunch's varied opinion.

Second there are a lot of Asian countries, Laos, China, Japan and India (and more) are all Asian countries, but they are all being lumped together. Third, why mention it in public? How would you think an Asian guy thinks/feels when they overhear that in public. That's why on the video they pan out to show that guy.

If you just don't find people who are Asian* as attractive as other people from other races and ethnic backgrounds but still leave it open as a possibility for having a relationship with someone from that racial and ethnic background then it most likely isn't racist. Sexual preferences aren't inherently racist (or sexist or homophobic and so on). But if you openly say it in public (not minding if there are any Asian* individuals nearby), aren't attracted to someone of that racial and ethnic background due to believing in racial and ethnic stereotypes about them (i.e. stereotypes about personality, appearance, intelligence, etc.), etc. then yes it could be considered racist (or at the very least discriminatory). *By Asian I mean people who are from either China, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Laos, etc.
How is not wanting to date Asians racist?
[QUOTE=Idzo;45835603]How is not wanting to date Asians racist?[/QUOTE] See BrickInHead's explanation above.
Of course the comments section of the video is full of the people you'd expect (though some are obviously trolling or being satirical). The white pride people ("Anti Racist is Code Word for Anti White!"), the misguided social justice advocates who act like white people are the devil and that anyone who disagrees with them obviously are guilty of or at least condone the video's presented behavior, the small percentage of people who are actually calm, etc.
There seems to be a fairly big negative reaction to this video, but not a whole lot of people explaining exactly why they have a negative view on this.
[QUOTE=Idzo;45835603]How is not wanting to date Asians racist?[/QUOTE] There was this girl in my physics class freshman year of highschool and she said she'd never date a white guy in the middle of class, not a single person had a problem with it.
