Racism

[Moltn]

Racism is a very big problem everywhere, I find that every were you look whether it's XBOX live, WoW, or just walking down the streets you can spot racism everywhere.

What do you think about the word ni.gger? It's just about the most commonly used word if you're trying to stir up a person of the african decent. I found it that if I went on CoD and just said it I would get like 6 different people coming at me with their piece of mind, honestly I'm not racist I just like seeing what happens.

How about you?

[QQrofl]

I never seen anyone say anything "Racist" like that on Xbox live, now on Wow, yes. Now what i think about the N word, is that no one should say it not even the blacks.  I think everyone should say Black  or not even that. But, hey how are you going to change how people are...

I'm white, But I have black friends. One i work with the other day, Told me i was so black it was scary.

Racial comments aren't nesceraly racist. It depends on the context or purpose behind them

I joke about my black mates being black, asians asian, indians indians, ect ect ect. And they joke about me being English, Or, as above, the new eminem... without the rap.

Its when you say something with the purpose of offending someone that it becomse a problem. its when you believe the joke, that your racist.

Thats MHO.

Political Correctness and Racism Shouldn't be confused. Which is what I think is happening now days.

My friends crack a lot of jokes at me because I'm french, they often go way over the top (50+ jokes a day -__-), and I used to hate them for that. Then I just though, "why the hell do I even care? More laughs in life are always better then less. "
So when they crack jokes about where I come from, I laugh along with them. The same way they laugh when I make fun of America.

If there is a thin line on racism, it's humor. You can make fun of everything, but you can't with everyone.

And that is where I (respectfully) agree.

European being racist against other Europeans (Including European-American, European-Canadian European-Australian etc.) doesn't mean anything at all we all came from Europe were all "white" people, I hate the words "white" and "black", they are not proper terms we should be called [Demonym]-European, and "blacks" should be called [Demonym]-African.

The N word is not actually racist, Africans just decided that they wanted it to be, the N word derives from the word "Niger" in Latin which means Black, Americans then just added a second g to fit their accent, just like "Negro" is the word for Black in Spanish.

The "N" word is used, mainly, for two reasons in actuality. It may be used to describe a foolish black person (notice how I said foolish not stupid or dumb) or used as a term of familiarity, in place of the word "man" or "dude"...

On racism, all of us, at one time or another, have been racist, whether intentional or not. I agree with Nazz except for those over-the-top jokes, no matter what you intend you're attacking their heritage and, basically, them...

Well, i think racism kind of died down a alot since the 1960's
