Does how you grow up affect your view of other races? - General

[QUOTE=Jaehead;27294829] He may not have worded it well but I got his point, and I'm sure you did, too, that a certain minority group can give a whole race a bad reputation[/QUOTE] Yes, I got his point. I don't see where the problem is on calling him out on his "bad wording" though. Just because you phrased something badly doesn't mean it can't have a large impact on whatever.

[QUOTE=the343danny;27294839]What if different Korean or Chinese people snatched your dog and ate it every time you got a new one? You try to get a new one every week and every single time they eat it. Would you think of them as heartless dog eaters? I honestly hate racism (being a halfie its kind of a big deal for me), but I dont think I can say that I wouldnt have a negative attitude for Koreans or Chinese if such a thing was happening to me.[/QUOTE] Well, one, that would never fucking happen. Ever. The fact I'm entertaining this ass-backwards scenario is ridiculous in the first place, but I will. If that were the case then you'd have to educate yourself enough to recognize that the color of their skindoes [B]not[/B] predispose them to steal and butcher another person's dog. Then you would have to understand that even though they're slightly more likely to come from a culture where a dog is not a man's best friend, but rather a potential meal, it doesn't mean that you should ever allow yourself to make the assumption that anyone else that looks like from them would do the same thing. Learn to appreciate the incredible variety of personalities and backgrounds that a person can potentially have. Even though it's nearly unavoidable, try to limit yourself in making severe judgments, especially when you don't even fucking know the person.

most of the racist thoughts a person has comes from their parents usually it takes someone (the childeren of the family)to become "revolutionary" and to discard their notions of racism

[QUOTE=Squad;27294021]I didn't read the thread, but the title seemed self explanatory... Of course the way you are raised affects your view on other races... You learn from your parents. The dumb rating was because? Oh, because I agreed with basic understanding of how humans learn?[/QUOTE] No, read the first thing you said.

You know what's worse than racist kids? Kids who aren't directly racist, but think racism is a "cool" thing.

[QUOTE=Jaehead;27295130]I don't have a problem with you calling him out, just that you're acting like a massive dick in doing so[/QUOTE] How? I don't believe so.

[QUOTE=Uncle_Earl;27295142]You know what's worse than racist kids? Kids who aren't directly racist, but think racism is a "cool" thing.[/QUOTE] Really? What do they say?

[QUOTE=-Dazed-;27295227]Really? What do they say?[/QUOTE] like when they imitate cartman by screaming jew

[QUOTE=thisispain;27295237]like when they imitate cartman by screaming jew[/QUOTE] Ah, so all the kids that missed the point / have shit parents.

[QUOTE=Explosions;27293901]Note that I am White. I heard a story a few weeks ago about a little White girl who was waiting in line to see Santa. While she was waiting, another family got in line behind her. However, this family was Black, and the little girl started screaming and crying as soon as she saw them. She was deathly afraid of their little son, who just wanted to play. Does the way she was raised have anything to do with this action? Perhaps she had never seen a Black person before, and [highlight]she was scared of their dark color[/highlight].[/QUOTE] Thats not how it works, a white kid doesn't look at a black kid and go "AH I'M SCARED OF THE DARK, HOLD ME MOMMY", this would mean the kid is afraid of everything that is black.

I'm probably a little prejudiced against black teenagers. A lot of the black people at my school were dumbasses and assholes. I am aware of it, and I try to compensate for it.

How you grow up affects your entire outlook on life.

Not that racist at all but this is what I grew up with. Whites:Good people, except for a few. Blacks:Most of them are scum but there are a few good ones. Hispanics:Almost all of them are scum. Asians:Better than whites actually. (I'm not a weeaboo, never have been, never will be) Indians:Was TAUGHT that they were fucking stupid assholes. My mother referred to them as "Camel Jockeys". Note: I was TAUGHT all of this. I am honestly not racist.

The blood looks the same pooling on the floor. Who cares?

[QUOTE=-Dazed-;27295442]And how is that not racist...[/QUOTE] It was more of how I was taught, not how I am today.

It's usually your earlier interactions with other races which forms your perception of them. But it can change over time, like everything else.

[QUOTE=ze spy;27295469]It was more of how I was taught, not how I am today.[/QUOTE] Might want to clarify that in your post.

[QUOTE=-Dazed-;27295486]Might want to clarify that in your post.[/QUOTE] Eh sorry about that. Didn't mean to imply I am racist or to offend anyone.

[QUOTE=ze spy;27295540]Eh sorry about that. Didn't mean to imply I am racist or to offend anyone.[/QUOTE] Ha, I'm just mentioning it for your benefit. Didn't want it to get continuously misread... unless I'm the only one that misread it, heh.

[QUOTE=-Dazed-;27295713]Ha, I'm just mentioning it for your benefit. Didn't want it to get continuously misread... unless I'm the only one that misread it, heh.[/QUOTE] Thanks man, appreciate it.

I didn't know very many white people growing up. But white people are cool, i guess.

i'm cool with white people as long as they don't make any discriminatory laws (looking at you arizona...)

[QUOTE=thisispain;27296191]i'm cool with white people as long as they don't make any discriminatory laws (looking at you arizona...)[/QUOTE] Wait, are you not white? Just wondering.

[QUOTE=ze spy;27296216]Wait, are you not white? Just wondering.[/QUOTE] jewish which means i'm not considered white by like 99% of all racists

[QUOTE=thisispain;27296287]jewish which means i'm not considered white by like 99% of all racists[/QUOTE] Jewish isn't a race.

[QUOTE=thisispain;27296287]jewish which means i'm not considered white by like 99% of all racists[/QUOTE] Oh wow. I don't see why so many people have problems with Jews. I don't really care about them. They're just a different religion to me.

[QUOTE=ImmortalKombat;27296362]Jewish isn't a race.[/QUOTE] say that to the nazi's you'll do me a huge favour [editline]8th January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=ze spy;27296367]Oh wow.
