Yo, Is This Racist?

So it is legally and socially acceptable for explicitly black and hispanic institutions to exclude people based on race, because of the assumption that other institutions are implicitly white? Even despite the fact that these supposedly "white" institutions are open to anyone, and there are even laws and regulations that insure this is the case? Majority white nations are relatively the least discriminatory in the world. Have you ever heard of Japan instating affirmative action in order to make

HAHA, any other sputtering protests, you ole racist???

Anyone who uses the term "European-Americans" seriously?

Fri, 25 May 2012 12:32:06 -0700

Uh, yeah, only racists use that shit. You think actual people from Europe consider themselves a single unit? Those motherfuckers had to enter into a monetary suicide-pact just to break their semi-centennial cycle of all trying to kill each other.

If systemic racism is holding back blacks in America, why are blacks in majority-black countries so much poorer than blacks in America?

BING BONG, WE HAVE HIT THE TRIFECTA OF STUPID-ASS RACIST ARGUMENTS!!!!

Hey you racist asshole, I almost feel like calling you out on your logic is like attacking an unarmed person, so, let’s not make this an unseemly assault. Let’s just say that the answer to your question is: it’s still racism, you racist b-hole.

Are black people more racist than white people? Before you answer no, remember that 95% of blacks voted for Obama and over 40% of whites voted for him as well. It seems telling that only 5% of blacks voted against their own race.

Oh shit, did racists decide they were going to celebrate the start of summer by trotting out all their most feeble arguments?

Hey, fuckhead, would it seem equally telling that a group of voters might vote against a candidate and party who ran an outwardly racist campaign against them? I’m surprised when anyone who isn’t White ever votes for a Republican.

Why isn't it a double standard when minorities have their own associations based on their interests but not European-Americans. For example: Black Student Unions inn Colleges, The Congressional Black Caucus, The Black Miss America Pageant, etc. Of course you can find the same with very minority. I would guess that if we had European-American student Unions, European-American Miss America Pageants, etc. we would be considered racist.

Fri, 25 May 2012 10:22:20 -0700

OH WORD, YOU SURE HAVE SHOWN ME, PERHAPS YOU ARE SOME KIND OF FUCKING GENIUS HERE

Hey, fucking idiot, “European-American student Unions” (sic) are just called ALL FUCKING INSTITUTIONS IN PRETTY MUCH ALL SCHOOLS, and “European-American Miss America Pageants” is, surprise surprise, JUST FUCKING MISS AMERICA.

Can racism ever be funny? For example, someone told me the following joke: "A chinese man asked his wife for some 69. The wife replied, 'you want beef and broccoli now?!'" When I heard that joke, I laughed. Does that make me racist?

Thu, 24 May 2012 20:40:00 -0700

Yo, you’re seriously comfortable letting everyone know you laughed at this wack joke?

UPDATE: Mad people are sending me messages saying I should have made fun of you for how wack juggling is, but of course I am above that.

yo firemen and arsonists both do shit with fire, how can you support one and not the other?!!

Thu, 24 May 2012 12:23:00 -0700

Haha, word.

Affirmative action and racial profiling in law enforcement are both imperfect solutions, but they address statistical realities at the cost of idealized colorblindess. Why be in favor of one but not the other?

Thu, 24 May 2012 12:04:48 -0700

Because one works to mitigate the effects of injustice, while one perpetuates it, duh.

Is it spelled "psych" or "sike"?

Thu, 24 May 2012 12:00:48 -0700

“Psych.”

Yo, don't you think it's more important to appeal to the reason of racists than to just call them racist and cut off contact with them? Hell, that's how skinhead collectives get started, isn't it?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:53:00 -0700

Oh word, it’s our fault that White Supremacist organizations exist, because we don’t waste our lives chilling with a bunch of racists.

Yo, say I was forced for social reasons to invite some racist assholes to my wedding. What type of shit could we do/say in the ceremony to fuck with them?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:46:22 -0700

Maybe call them out by name as racists during your vows? Just a thought.

Do you ever worry that someone out there might be taking your advice too seriously?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:45:25 -0700

No.

Do you think there are ways to improve affirmative action?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:44:43 -0700

Yes!

My parents call taxi drivers "dot heads." I am marrying an Indian man next year. Do I have to invite these racists to my wedding?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:40:00 -0700

Yo, never invite any racists to your wedding.

A friend visiting from Europe was asking me how I can stand living in the USA with all the racism here. I told her things are better than they were before the Civil Rights Movement, but, sure, there's still plenty of discrimination, just like the Roma people experience in her country. She said "That's different. They're animals."

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:39:46 -0700

Please tell me you don’t actually not know what to say or do here.

unrelated to racism but is Nas or Jay-Z the true king of New York?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:38:10 -0700

It is currently Michael R. Bloomberg, long may he reign.

PS. Psych about that last part.

When someone claims that they're not racist, it's just the way they were brought up.

JUST BE LIKE, “YO, YOU WERE RAISED MAD RACIST, HOMEBOY!”

I applied to 10 different jobs using my original and obviously Muslim name and got no response. After three weeks, I applied to the same 10 jobs with the same resume except I Anglicized my name. I got 8 initial responses from my second round of job applications. Seriously, what the hell???

Wed, 23 May 2012 12:12:01 -0700

I don’t know, why don’t you ask the racist fucks who write in here all the time claiming that there’s no such thing as systemic racism anymore.

My girlfriend (white) and I (white) recently had a conversation where we realized that if we got married and hyphenated our last name, it would either be 'Power White' or 'White Power'. This is obviously racist as hell and we are not going to do it, but I thought it you could maybe use a laugh.

notallmcsareequal asked: Geno’s Cheesesteaks in Philly?

Yo, just because Boyz II Men stood in front of that shit, doesn’t mean it’s not fucking racist as fuck. Hey, fuck you, Geno’s, you’re a racist piece of shit.
