[QUOTE=Poltergeist Three;16712639]This is true, Asians are generally extremely xenophobic and racist and will believe any stereotype they hear about people from other countries or different races in a heartbeat. not wanting to start a shitstorm[/QUOTE] I think this covers more of the older (like 60+) Asians who still distrust outsiders. Most of the Asian kids I know want to date white chicks. And if they were "extremely xenophobic and racist" that wouldn't make sense. But in my school there's this one large group of Korean kids that just stick to themselves, speak in Korean, and distrust everyone else. From what I've learned they really hate mix-raced couples, which I found weird since Latinos and Asians are supposed marry different races then their own at a higher percentage than black people. But still, you can't just make blanket statements against other races because there's no race is 100% anything. I can't say "White people are generally extremely xenophobic and racist and will believe any stereotype they make about people from other countries or different races in a heartbeat." Because it's not true.
ITT Xystus234 doesn't understand the difference between a race and a culture Another quality thread by Xystus
TY for fixing the thread title. I AM ASIAN THEREFORE I MUST ONLY READ PEOPLE'S EYES
[QUOTE=Intel Inside;16746479]It's very ignorant to say racial differences are purely attributed to culture. [editline]11:01PM[/editline] Basically what I'm trying to say is Racial differences are both caused by culture and genetics.[/QUOTE] But what your saying doesn't have much scientific basis. Sure, genetics may play a factor in some cultural things such as in this case, the focus on eye interpretation, but what you're talking about is justifying racial stereotypes. Asians don't have 'strict' genes. That's cultural behavior. That's like saying Jews have a 'money' gene.
Sorry I was mad cause you had a shitty thread title and I had to change it
Its alright, I edited it out anyway.
[QUOTE=Xystus234;16711116] In other words, this may explain why everything in japan is so frigging weird - it may be genetic differences in our brain. On the bad side, it gives people an excuse to be racist.[/QUOTE] You make the assumption that science will ever be able to explain why Japan is so weird.
[QUOTE=Intel Inside;16746076]No actually it's genetic that Black people are more athletic and can fight better and are more aggressive because on average they have more testosterone. I'm not saying all of them are like this, but a lot are. I know only one non athletic black person. Culture is influenced by genetics. There wouldn't be stereotypes in the first place if all races were equal.[/QUOTE] more testosterone? dude, what the fuck are you talking about, I don't think you know what testosterone does. [editline]09:26PM[/editline] [QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;16746666]I agree with Intel Inside. Though He's talking about all kinds of things i will never understand, you shouldn't be so closed minded to other peoplles ideas and theories[/QUOTE] yeah man just because his idea is stupid and completely incorrect, it doesn't mean that it isn't correct
[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;16746666]I agree with Intel Inside. Though He's talking about all kinds of things i will never understand, you shouldn't be so closed minded to other peoplles ideas and theories[/QUOTE] Hey guys I don't understand anything anyone is saying but I agree with the racist guy
[QUOTE=TH89;16748530]Hey guys I don't understand anything anyone is saying but I agree with the racist guy[/QUOTE] Is he racist because he said that there are actual differences between races or is he racist because he said black people are inherently violent?
[QUOTE=Doriol;16748583]Is he racist because he said that there are actual differences between races or is he racist because he said black people are inherently violent?[/QUOTE] well both depends if they are positive differences or negative differences
So if you acknowledge that there's a negative difference between one race and the other, you're racist? :smith:
[QUOTE=Doriol;16748712]So if you acknowledge that there's a negative difference between one race and the other, you're racist? :smith:[/QUOTE] yeah that's the definition of racist how are you not getting this
Racism is believing one race is inferior to the other. Saying there are differences between black people and white people isn't racist.
[QUOTE=Doriol;16749415]Racism is believing one race is inferior to the other. Saying there are differences between black people and white people isn't racist.[/QUOTE] negative differences l2read english bro
Political correctness is held in higher value than fact.
[QUOTE=thisispain;16749438]negative differences l2read english bro[/QUOTE] It's still not racist.
[QUOTE=thisispain;16749067]yeah that's the definition of racist how are you not getting this[/QUOTE] That's not the definition at all.
[QUOTE=Doriol;16749465]It's still not racist.[/QUOTE] itt: negative differences are postitive

Once a upon a time, there were intelligent people. The end.

I know many Asians myself, and they sure aren't racist or xenophobic. But it is for example true that when you as an American want to take a job as an English teacher in an Asian city you better be white, they'll even write in their ad that they prefer blonde caucasian males, and that's completely fine to write over there. There exists toothpaste called "Black Man" in Japan. Why? Because black people are known for having healthy and white teeth. I'm not saying Asians are bad people, obvsly.

There is no such thing as not being racist, apparently.
Hey guise why can't we be friends? Oh that's right you're racists.
[QUOTE=Doriol;16749415]Racism is believing one race is inferior to the other. Saying there are differences between black people and white people isn't racist.[/QUOTE] It is when the differences you're citing are not grounded in scientific fact. "Black people are just not as intelligent on average" is not acknowledging a fact, it's racist. Ask an anthropologist.
