We are supposed to call them "people of color." Why not "colored people?"

    Can’t you just embrace your racism and learn how time works like anyone else?

    So many people are racists because that’s the life they’ve chosen for themselves and they clearly don’t want to change or be better, so fck them, their upbringings and their viewpoints.

    I accept your pronouncement for what it is worth so as not to hurt your feelings.

    There’s no need for me to search for racism when a lot of you on this forum put it in full display daily. And if I were you I’d fall back on calling me out after that thread you made about that super exaggerated encounter you claim you had with black people in a bar once.

    Some are resentful because democracy reflects the People, and the People are increasingly diverse.

    I know silly me..... No black people are ever rude arrogant and demanding and spoiled.
    Anyone who says anything like that is obviously making it up

    Yes. And that is furthered by grouping them all together and labelling them "colored people" or "people of color" rather than treating them as individuals and as equals.

    See, here’s the thing with you far left progs, you call people you disagree with racists just so you can attack and put them on defense. Then when they defend themselves by mentioning who their friends are you go Aha, only racists say that. To you people every friggin thing is racist and you use the accusation of racism as a weapon.

    Absolutely agree. And that includes the faux "anti-racist" racists along with the white supremacist racists.

    It is perfectly acceptable to nominally educated, intelligent individuals to use classically descriptive words to identify the three major races in humanity: Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid. The only refinement I'm aware of is that which applies to the Mongoloid peoples, who are recently more accurately (and geographically) identified as "East-Asian".

    Anyone using the tag of "anti-racist" usually turn out to be nothing more than Al sharpton wannabes who actually hate the hell out of white people. And of course they go around calling them all racist

    They should repent and start hating white people too and then they would be welcome in the far left.

    White racism does not cause black social pathology. Black social pathology causes white racism.

    “Nice” used to mean “perfect” “gay” used to mean happy and don’t even START to go there with different usage of words between countries eg

    Just been bush bashing in the outback in my thongs and trakkie daks. Was in my mates Ute when we bagged a big red

    Weapon? Dude, I’ve seen it a million times all over, whenever someone gets called out and starts being defensive, the response they use is “I’m not racist, I have a black friend” or “I dated a Puerto Rican chick once” or “my roommate was a Muslim” or what have you. Do you always bring up your black or Puerto Rican or Muslim or whatever they are friends in every conversation or just when your ass is on the hot seat?

    The increasing reflection of our diverse populace in our self-governance is the fulfillment of the original idealistic concept of a government of, by, and for the People.

    Never said they couldn’t be, but your story way back when sounded way too far fetched to the point where I doubt it happened, and then you asked everyone if you were too quick in making judgments and if that shouldn’t color your views but really you already made your mind up well before that.

    Bulltwang! Racism is the symptom of poor self esteem nothing else! If the only way you can better about yourself is to put someone else down then you should look to a way of acquiring self worth

    Or maybe, and I want you read this carefully, maybe stop hating people based on their race, ethnicity or background.

    Bullshit, nothing black causes white racism, stop trying to pin your shitty life views on black or Asian people like it’s their fault. Racist is what you are and clearly what you wanna be.
