pro bush supporter jailed

i was talking about the hypothetical question that wild dancer brought up and that you elaborated on. The one saying that if a man refused to serve everyone who was for the war. I understand where your comming from on the whole French and german thing, but not the other question.

its about where they are from, not what they believe.
so when we make jokes about the swedes because they are swedes thats is racism?

ok, if someone supported/objected to the war, they would have to be very vocal in some way for the manager to be aware of this. or else how could he tell? if they were wearing a tshirt that said "NUKE IRAQ" or "IMPEACH BUSH" that would be a sign. if they came in chanting "GO BUSH" or "F*** BUSH" that would be a telltale sign. in which case the owner may say "f*** you! get out!!!" bad for business but within his right.

however, that is completely unrelated on all levels. there is no political bias in my views. if the coin were turned i would say the same against an anti-war liberal pulling this shit.

edit: its a really useless question anyway, because like i said, unless i ask, or you tell....how do i know what your political beliefs are??

This is an easy one. If movies have taught me anything. Germans are always big, intimidating. You know a German when you see one in the movies. French people are always skinny and gangly. their faces are also always slanted upwards a bit. This is how you tell French and German people from other white people. I mean, movies wouldnt lie would they?

so is your point that some french and german people can sneak in unnoticed?
well good for them...although they would lose my respect for patronising this man's establishment even as they are discriminated against simply for who they are.

but the fact remains: racial discrimination-----> illegal -------> jailtime

i was referring to this case

Racism just isn't the right word for it, seeing as there isn't any other word of it however it will just have to do.

why not? if i dont allow a jewish person into my establishment is that not racist? and we're both caucaisan....

Because everybody thinks of it as Race, black white whatever. It doesn't have anything to do with that. It has to do with discrimination against certain country's more like countrism or something like that. Only that doesn't exist. I agree you shouldn't have to write 20 words everytime you want to call it what it is, so Racism works. It just doesn't really fit the popular accepted opinion on Racism. And instead of us just dropping that and moving on with the subject, we have 3 pages here discussing if it fits the clasicall description of racism

jewish

being jewish is a religion...being french isn't...

well, when you really get down to reality, i have the same genetic similarities to another caucasian as i do to a black or asian person. the differences are so minute that they are not worth considering.

the very notion that there is more than one race is in itself prejudice.

but we use 'racism' to basically mean "my group of people who's ancestors followed the same pattern of breeding are better than yours"

it's sad that good points go un-noticed.

genetically you are right...but tiny genetic differences make some very noticable phenotypic differences in different sections of the human population

particularly in relation to how prone to certain diseases we are and even how good at sports we are

Well after the Bush administrations treatment of the French (Attacking/boycotting restraunts, burning all things French publically,
people pouring bottle after bottle of French wine down the drains in the street, and lets not forget the "Freedom fries" fiasco..) after they[sarcasm] had the bare-faced-gaul to actually not agree with Bush's illegal invasion manuvere[/sarcasm], its not surprising that a few blind idiots have taken this as an excuse to act on their own racist agendas...

I wonder if this sets a president for legal action to be taken for the afformentioned racist attacks on the French in the U.S....?

Probably not.


"Idiot cheese" FTW.

Cry more, n00b. Stuff like this has happened numerous times before now and it will continue to happen.

n00b? what an immature response 😬

coming from someone who has 'taught' me to post so many times.
