I am also living in a country where I am an ethnic minorty - refer to the post above.

Well, you look white to everyone. That's what counts...kind of like DiamondBullets being Hawaiian...still looks Black.

You wrote, a page back that the racism is not that bad at all. I shall quote you, give me few..

you may take far longer than that when you reread exactly what i said, and come to the realisiation that...*gasp* you were mistaken 😱

How can 52% of the prison population be black,if they make up 12% of the population?

What makes them look black and not be black?

well, imho racism doesnt really exist in the magnitude which many think. i think the new 'racism' as 'classism'. a rich black lawyer sees a white kid with a mullet living in a trailer park and calls him/her gutter trash. his rich white lawyer friend agrees and they laugh about it.

it seems more and more that wealth is the definative factor of who is of a "sub-race". who's life liberty and pursuit of happiness matters more or less than others. at least thats what i observe.

here

:edit: ok you beat me to it.

now, can anyone point out the difference between what i said and the statement that racism against blacks does not exist?

As already pointed out - our differences have nothing to do with our biology. By your random explanation, each individual who is not 20 and cocaisan is a different 'race' to everyone else who is. Bullshit.

Is it? Or is that you grabbing a bone and running with it? Yes it is.

Claiming we're all the same purely because of DNA is remarkably stupid.

Second - what I like and what I admire is my own business and it has nothing to do with this thread or racism.

Oh of course it doesn't, now. Now you've been exposed as a hypocritical, trivialising and contradictory mess in this debate. How can you be such a fan of countries and it's people, it's customs, without having been there? That's purely superficial, so think before you go talking about having this mass respect for other people's cultures and ethnicities.

That said. why are you fascinated with all those countries and ethnicities? Wouldn't be because they're all different would it? Since we're all the same, why do they hold appeal?

The fact that I am not of British origin, and that i came to this country and was scrutinised and discriminated by an astonishing amount of people for not being English, for not being a Westerner, kind of makes me think about the people who not, not only british, but not white.

Then think, because you're not doing too much of it now are you?

You spoke of generalisation, how bad it is, now you're doing it.

If I was discriminated in such way and im white, I can only imagine what it is like for people who are black, and who are not British.

Exactly. You imagine and for some reason you take what you imagine as a fact.

Did it not occur to you that someone might actually have experienced otherwise, to a greater degree, or in the best case scenario, not experienced any racism at all?

Thus, I have more authority to talk about ethnic minorities, myself being one, than you ever will.

I knew this was coming. You are an ethnic minority, so you can speak on being one. It doesn't mean you know more.

That's your problem. "I like something to a high degree, ergo, I appreciate it more and understand it more."

Have you been to Brazil? I have. The country you fangirled over for the longest time, I've been there and my grandfather owns a piece of land there. I've had experience, real experience. Not "I imagine", not "I read". See? Other people have experiences too, not just you. So whether you like it or not, things can be different.

When you move to a country which despises your people and your culture, then come back to this thread and preach.

Well, Miss "Race doesn't exist but I've experienced bad racism", when you pull your head out of your hypocritical ass, then come back to this thread and talk equality and appreciation.

And which is still far MORE than you can say on the subject.

They commit more crimes? The system is still racist?

Oh he is black...he jsut claims to be not.

Certainly not, you have no more knowledge what it is like to be a black in the USA than PVS, AC or I have.

So many of them are poor - one in three live below poverty line. They are more likely to be engaged in crime or be marganalised.

If that's the rationale, don't talk about your beloved Brazil around me. I know more. Since I've had the experience. Right?

I figured the rest of my post wouldn't get a retort. You're funny.

Have I ever claimed I knew what it was like to be black in the USA. Read my post - i said and i quote ''I can only imagine what it must be like''

Yeah I know. I didn't say they commit more crimes because they are black....

Yeah...like us...so you should maybe stop saying that we cannot say anything about the subject.

But most blacks aren't in poverty.

..and when did I say you did. You were asking questions I was giving an answer.

Well....a lot more than whites...that's the point.

You don't have to be poor to be discriminated against.
