[QUOTE=Sir_takeslot;42605403]I'm not really sure how thats being racist. He asked, and I told him. I didn't go "lol fuck gypsies, thieving cunts."
If you want to go see racist, go find that thread on where gypsies burned down that castle.
I just wanted an excuse to post the video because I was actually talking about it today. :v:
I'd say the same thing about Southerns, and noblity. Iceland is more of accidently porking someone who is your second unknown cousion because you're on a island with a very low population count.[/QUOTE]
generalizing/marginalizing people based on their race = (a facet of) racism.
look it up

[QUOTE=Gmod4ever;42605535]Ladies and gentlemen, after many years of peer-reviewed research, I have finally been able to compile for you all a fool-proof guide to check if what you are saying is racist. Allow me to present to you...
[b]Gmod4ever's Guide to Checking if You Are Being Racist:[/b]
1.) Take the target noun in your sentence (in this case: "gypsy" / "gypsies") and replace it with "black person" / "black people". If your sentence uses pronouns ("they", etc), replace them with explicit replacements ( "black people")
2.) Read your sentence with this replacement.
3.) Answer the following question: Does your sentence sound racist with this replacement?
If you answered yes, then your post is racist.
Please donate $20, it took me a dozen years and several thousands of dollars of money from my own pocket to fund all the research that went into building this methodology (the university refused to give me grants for it).
[b]BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE![/b]
Order in the next five minutes, and I'll send you a [b]FREE COPY[/b] of examples of the methodology in use! With such great examples like
Wow that sounds racist! And how about
How horrible! And let us not forget:
Amazing![/QUOTE]

There's racist morons everywhere; just because you're seeing them doesn't mean that they're either common or accepted.
I've never heard a bad word said against Gypsies, and never had a bad experience with them.
But what's important is that you've managed to foster a sense of superiority.

Okay? This doesn't change the fact that institutional racism against romani people is still a major issue.

What? Where are you even going with this?
It's the generic "if you express an opinion about morality it's just to make yourself feel superior" bullshit

is this a facetious way to call off everyone that doesn't instantly hate gypsies because ghlurk hurk they're thieves?
Could we all just for a short while stop posting our opinions on the intelligence of people that has an opinion we disagree with, and instead focus our thoughts investigating the credibility of the opinions we disagree with. If we actually debated about the subject rather than about how much we hate each other, we might actually get somewhere.
I'm honestly surprised that several people in this thread take their time to write such blatantly racist statements without realising it for themselves before posting:
[QUOTE=Wikipedia]Racism is generally defined as actions, practices, or beliefs that consider the human species to be divided into races [B]with shared traits, abilities, or qualities[/B], such as personality, intellect, [B]morality[/B], or other cultural behavioral characteristics, and especially the belief that races can be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to others, or that members of different races should be treated differently.[/QUOTE]

It sounds like the couple in the story just kidnapped a random kid from a SuperMarket and failed to raise her properly. The hate the Roma receive is kind of understandable considering [B]how alot of them just leech off of established systems.[/B][/QUOTE]

The problem is that there is some sort of confusion between the race and the practises. These cases of people settling down on land that isn't their own, causing damage and refusing to cooperate do happen, but that's not because they're Romas, it's because they're assholes.

I'm not refuting the fact that they do, I'm just pointing out the use of generalizations based on ethnicity used by certain people in this thread.
What's up with people calling gypsies a race, surely that's pretty insulting to them. Gypsy is just a word for travellers/nomadic people, it's not like they shed their skin and turn into a new race when they buy a caravan/steal someone's catalytic converter.

I was commenting on the fact that Brick decided that anti-roma sentiment was both common and accepted in Europe, whereas anti-anyone sentiment isn't tolerated in the US.
The fact is, there's racists everywhere. No one area of the world is better than any other and to try and paint all of Europe with the same brush is retarded.

It's a really bad idea to make that post, because although I can see that you're flipping it on its head to show how absurd the entire concept is; lots of people are going to take it as though you're saying that Americans [I]actually[/I] hate Mexicans and Muslims.
