[QUOTE=J!NX;46170355]Reverse racism doesn't exist. Black/Asian people aren't somehow incapable of hating you just because they aren't white and conservative like you.
Racism goes both ways.[/QUOTE]
That's not reverse racism. Reverse racism is calling someone racist without any grounds, usually because they are white.

so you don't even know what the folly of "reverse racism" is and instead have made up your own version of it.
I have a quote for you.
"I reject reality and substitute my own". This is clearly a mantra you already live by.

Nope. Keep thinking that.
[QUOTE=Winner;46169782]i'm pretty sure you're just a delusional racist
- the chinese were pretty fucking well off technologically without europeans
- europeans were [I]way[/I] worse when it came to slavery
- europe did not help africa in any way - they increased slave trade and caused lots of bloody conflict due to colonialism[/QUOTE]
To be honest, while I generally don't comment on these things, sometimes white guilt, which usually stems from americans is pretty hilarious.
- the chinese were technologically brutally behind Europe in a large number of fields. One of the main reasons which is attributed to it, is long term stability. The chinese reached a certain plateau and started pretty severe isolationism. To the point of burning their fleets.
- Pretty much every mediaval and post mediaval society was based around slavery. While serfs may have not been called slaves, for many of them the position was pretty much interchangeable. Asian caste based societies were just as bad, if not worse.
- There's multiple reasons for the collapse of African empires. A lot of the reasons come to internecine warfare at the end, conflicts which were ongoing even before the rise of imperial influence. The reason why it was so easy for European empires to move in and set up shop, was because there was a huge power vacuum. The local empires were in a downward spiral long before any kind of colonisation began. If you mean the issues plaguing modern Africa and the middle east. It can be argued that the reason they are in so much hell right now, is because Imperialistic powers became too humane. Instead of maintaining draconic control and slowly easing it away over decades, much of their influence went away very quickly. This sudden shift resulted in artificial borders and a huge uptake in violence.
Claiming that it was Europeans that destabilized older african empires is not true. They may have been the stroke that broke the camel's back, but the camel was pretty much dead to begin with.
The truth is, European states essentially survived long term turmoil somewhat better and remained intact.

Uhm actually no. Reverse racism is when the dominant ethnic group gets put into a negative position. Usually in the form that the minorities are given benefits that the majority group doesn't. It's sometimes also seen as positive discrimination or other terms. Usually depending on the context.

[quote]Leif Erikson Day is an annual American observance which occurs on October 9. It honors Leif Erikson (Icelandic: Leifur Eiríksson, Old Norse: Leifr Eiríksson or the Norwegian: Leiv Eiriksson), the Norse explorer who led the first Europeans known to have set foot in North America.[1][/quote]

That's not what I meant. I've seen reverse racism used differently before. It's also self-defining in a sense, which explains why people can be confused by it.

On that note, if my memory serves me correctly, the public schools that I went to were the kinds of schools that tried too hard to be politically correct.

Racism is discrimination based on someone's race. This applies to people of all color, including whites. If you say this not then you are literally rewriting the definition of racism.

I don't remember everything in exact detail, but please tell me this does not mean that everything that I learned in that anthropology class was complete bullshit, I don't want to have to just now be finding out that it was a waste of a class. I'd rather take a class where what is being taught actually means something.

you mean "Pulling the racist card"
reverse racism is a term ignorant white people say to call out black people for being "reverse racist" because only white people can think for them selves or something. it's not like they can possibly hate them for reasons.
I don't even know where anything you say is coming from, I think I'm just going to watch everyone else get trolled by you or whatever

Me pointing out that interracial marriage was banned by law was part of the message that the definition of marriage had been slipping for years. If you want to call me a homophobic, then go ahead. But I have nothing against homosexuals. The same goes for blacks/asians/whoever. The OP asked for non religious arguments against homosexuality so I gave him one.
[QUOTE=Levithan;46170427]reverse racism doesn't exist because there isn't systematic oppression of friggin' white people dude[/QUOTE]
I'd like to point out a hand and say that racism = systemic racism is usually only seen as such in the US. Which does often create quite wild discussions about what is and what isn't racism. Just pointing it out beforehand.
Systematic oppression will usually use the term discrimination here (racism tends to be more akin to a xenophobic hate or the oppression of an individual or group towards another)

Oh god you come off like a condescending upper middle-class prep student.
I read 4 to 5 full length novels in a week. I've been reading at the college level since the fourth grade. I don't give a shit about you're literary habits nor are they any indication of your intelligence.
Or rather in your case the lack thereof.

The definition of marriage isn't defined by anyone so idk how it could be slipping really
it sounds like you're very vaguely saying that marriage shouldn't be interracial but I can't tell, maybe you didn't type it wrong? who knows?
