[QUOTE=RobbL;39439991]Btw going by Starpluck's definition of racism, it's impossible to be racist against japanese people for example[/QUOTE]
I'm interested, where is Starpluck's Official Definition of Racism™?
[QUOTE=Shadaez;39438530]No, it doesn't. Racism isn't racial prejudice, you can be bigoted against the white race but racism against whites doesn't exist. Racism is the institutionalized oppression against a race that simply doesn't exist towards whites.
It's okay not to understand what I'm saying and this probably isn't the place to argue, I just wanted to point it out.
[editline][/editline]
I know it wouldn't go over well here on Facepunch and yes the basic definition is racial prejudice, but if you look into it you'll understand.[/QUOTE]
Okay so hold up, according to you if i were A black man that held a personal dislike of anyone that isn't black like me specifically disliking anyone who's white, that's not racist? Sure that sounds legitimate.
Because if i hate a race it's not racist unless i'm white.
Wow you're an idiot.

[QUOTE=UziXxX;39439998]Anyone who bitches about slavery needs to get over it. No one is a slave or former slave anymore. Sure, it was a horrible thing that will forver stain the history of this nation, but it 150 fucking years ago.
Seriously, get over it. Its racist people like that that only cause more racial tention. Why can't we just see past color and recognize a person for who they are, not what color their skin is.[/QUOTE]
I agree with you but slavery is still around, near where I live some gypsies were keeping slaves.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;39439958]By the way that privilege chart is bullshit. It ignores the whole concept of intersectionality
One privilege isn't always going to negate a totally different disadvantage
A white, cis, straight, tall, attractive, Jewish European is still going to be treated like shit if they're homeless/institutionalized[/QUOTE]
The privileged chart is a joke. I mean seriously.
[quote]Add it up.
If you can't add -30

It's easy to say it doesn't matter anymore when it wasn't your family held back for multiple generations.
During that entire time while white families were establishing themselves and acquiring wealth, black people weren't allowed to do any of that
It's asinine to think this doesn't have effects even today

That was really only exclusive to japanese-americans though, and just in case you didn't know, the entire world isn't america
Not to mention there's not really institutionalised discrimination of them there nowadays anyway
[QUOTE=Sluggy;39439994]I had a similar teacher, how they get a job when they are so blatantly racist I will never know[/QUOTE]
He was a nice guy, he himself was not racist that's something you could tell. He's just a very very proud black man.

Not true. Some free blacks in the north became very affluent. Most free blacks made a decent living in the ship building industry. While there was some, but very little, opression in the north, the south was a different story.

Didn't say that. Just can't be racist towards white people. A person of color can be racist towards another person of color, japanese, or whatever.

[QUOTE]Racism is when intolerance in government laws, attitudes and ideals of a society are ingrained in a culture to the point where patterns of discrimination towards a certain race are institutionalized as normal.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;39439884]Imagine a soccer pitch
One team is white and has a normal sized net
One team is black and has a net 3x the normal size
Affirmative action is making the black team's net the normal size
[editline]1st February 2013[/editline]
Yeah I don't get why people think this
Maybe it's why having an ethnic-sounding name makes you less likely to get a job with equal qualifications, why the vast majority of CEOs and politicians are white, why merit-based scholarships are awarded to whites more often than they would be if they were truly awarded on merit, and why blacks are disproportionately charged with crimes
That's the equality[/QUOTE]
Affirmative Action is more like making the black team's net smaller while tying the white team's legs up with razor wire.
It's tipping the scales in the opposite direction instead of equalizing it. Using quotas to decide who gets in/where.

Actually, it's more like picking up the "scale" and tossing it across the room multiple times.

That's funny that you say that, because in some places, white are starting to become the minority. Are you implying caucasian isn't a race?
Why can't everyone just fucking get along.

That's a common misconception. Free blacks did infact do well for themselves. Some even owned their own businesses.

So i was pretty accurate then.
It's not racist to hate whites for being white and only because they're white.
You really are an idiot and Rents is right. That's institutional racism and is not justifiable just because the white's enslaved other races. All through history other races have been racist towards others and enslaved other races. It's not different because they're white.

The quotas just force equality where equality should already exist but doesn't
Like if a company is 95% white when the demographics of the people they hire from are 60% white, there's absolutely no explanation for that other than the company going out of their way to only hire whites

I agree 100%. I wish people would stop lumping together all white people and assuming that all whites were racist and owned slaves. Infact, in the south, not many white people owned slaves. It was only the wealthy people. Most white people were dirt poor and couldn't read.
if you have a skin color you can and will be profiled because of it
somehow 100% of people have a skin color, so... racism across all races is a thing
Starkpluck is thinking of racism on a governmental and lawful manner not in a social manner.
On a government level yeah reverse racism doesn't exists at least in the US or major EU countries.
But on a social level that's just flat out idiotic to believe reverse racism doesn't exist.
[QUOTE=UziXxX;39440097]That's a common misconception. Free blacks did infact do well for themselves. Some even owned their own businesses.[/QUOTE]
You do understand it was that segregation and discrimination in the North that made "the Ghetto" in the first place.

I'm really not saying just that, i'm saying that it wasn't just white's that owned slaves. Other races have owned slaves throughout the history of the world based on Religious belifes but also on racial beliefs that others were inferior to them.

So you're meaning to tell me that all blacks were poor, oppressed, and forced to live in the slums? Take an American history course and your professor will teach you otherwise.

It might work in that situation and the majority that are similar, but it still poses a potential risk of a "privileged" person missing out on a job opportunity because a company or school has already filled their quota for "privileged" people, even if they are tons more qualified than anyone else of any other category.
[QUOTE=mysteryman;39440126]I'm really not saying just that,[/QUOTE]
I know, I was just adding my two cents.
I guess, "potential" is the most outstanding word there, though.
Hell, I support forced gender equality, why do I even feel differently here?
Also i hopped into this thread but it's pretty obvious that it's just quickly devolving into people ardently supporting their viewpoints closing out others. This isn't going to be constructive at all so if you excuse me gentlemen, i have a friday night to waste playing guildwars and posting on internet forums.
Good luck to any of you who are staying, i bid you fine gentlemen adieu.
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;39440116]You do understand it was that segregation and discrimination in the North that made "the Ghetto" in the first place.[/QUOTE]
And actually, the "Ghetto" is a word that refers to the isolated places that jews were forced to live in in Germany.
The word "Slum" came from "Slum tenement" which was very poorly maintained housing that was built around factories in cities during the 1890s and 1900s during the boom of the industrial revolution, and people of all races lived there because if you worked for the factory, you couldn't afford to live anywhere else.
