59% of Quebecers say they're racist: poll

CBC News - Canada ^ | January 15, 2007

[GSlob]

And what percentage - both inside and outside quebec - has a bad opinion of quebecers? ["queborrhoids" is more euphonious].

[Anti-Bubba182]

And We Smell Bad!

[Dont Mention the War]

In comparison, only 47 per cent of those outside Quebec say they are racist to some degree.

And this is something for the rest of Canada to be PROUD of?

[CheyennePress]

They call themselves Quebecquois.

In regards to this survey, the other 41% were lying.

I don't care who you are. Unless you're blind, you're a racist to some degree.

We humans are far too visual creatures for it to be any other way, and the mere fact that we tend to associate primarily with those like us simply belies that fact.

[PissAndVinegar]

"Fifty per cent have a bad opinion of Muslims"

Um, what race are Muslims?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

They are descendent's of the French, are they not?

[Right Wing Assault]

I think most people are not so much racist as they are against disfunctional people and cultures.

[Egon]

I don't care who you are. Unless you're blind, you're a racist to some degree.

Thank you!

The question is: Do you consciously go against your human nature, and force yourself to actively judge a person by their character and not their race? ...or do you just give in to your baser nature because you're lazy and it's much easier to simply stereotype?

Well put!

[libs_kma]

Now they went and did it. Je$$e and RevAl are going to be on the next plane to CA to see if they can pry 59% of their checkbooks open.

[matt1234]

Yes but 81% were drunk at the time of the survey.

[Centurion2000]

Montreal was founded to Triumph to poop on.

[MaxMax]

Surprise, Surprise.

[Candor7]

Moi, une racist? Oui , c'est ca. Je me souviens.

[weegee]

Being opposed to Islamic supremacists makes one a racist?

That's like assuming that someone hates all white people just because they are opposed to all members ot the KKK.

For some Islam is a system of legal theocratic rule. I disagree with that manner of government as I oppose Communism.

[End Times Sentinel]

Um, what race are Muslims?

Muzloid, although, really that's a genus.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

"If Jedwab were writing the question, he would have made the ratio two questions out of four, asking people if they are very racist, somewhat racist, not racist or not at all racist."

How would 3 and 4 be different?

[ChurtleDawg]

I think everyone is bigoted to one degree or another, it is just one of the baser aspects of our nature. The better among us use their intellect to challenge those baser notions
