Yugoslavia, here we come. And no Tito in sight.
Trouble in rainbow coalition paradise?
Olly white people can be racist. Others may have racial prejudices or something of the kind, but racism, according to the liberals, is a combination of power and bigotry, and we all know that only white people have power, so only white people can be racist.
Yes, I know it makes no moral sense, but I can't help that. Asians, here in the US, are not capable of racism.
It’s racist of you to even ask if you can notice that.
sixty years ago, when there was open racial discrimination against Mexicans in San Antonio, the “Negroes” in the city couldn’t figure out the Mexicans and vice versa. The blacks expected all persons with dark skin to be friendly. The Mexicans thought of blacks as dark-skinned Anglos. This was the normal people; there were Mexicans—and white guys—who were into the Zoot-suit things, and the jazz culture. But generally speaking the cultures were separate, with little in common.
I don't think you'd find any minority group that has a favorable opinion of gays.
Sandy Close and her group are just now realizing this?
Been pretty obvious for decades to even the most casual observer.
My Hispanic cab driver yesterday was talking about how Chinese people drive like sh*t “because they can’t see nothin’”.
Racist or not it’s true. I’m black and I can’t tell you how many time I’ve gone in a store owned by an asian and been followed around...never by a white person though.
Most people get their views on racial issues on the streets and from their own personal experiences.Parents and society,whether liberal or conservative ,may TRY to shape your outlook,but the bottom line is your anectdotal daily encounters.
Which is why I’m way more a misogynist than a racist.Just had too many BAD experiences with just about every group under the sun.
this is quite true
Pray, tell... which restaurants did Hizzoner recommend? If they coincide with my picks, I may have to reevaluate my choices. ;-)

Hey, we’ve all learned long ago that an accusation of racism is not tempered by the truth of the observation.
IMHO, the miscegenation laws were passed to prevent white and blacks from integration thru families ties, to keep the two groups separate. Of course the two groups mixed anyway. I have read there was more race-mixing after the Civil War than during slavery. The fact is that Southerners are a mixed race folk. White-Black and Indian. The same is true of all three groups, with only the proportions different. The main differences are cultural, but white Southeners and black Southerners and Indian Southerners have many common cultural practices. Blacks who went North have had a hard time adapting in the North, in part because white Northerners are so different from white Southerners. White Northerners, such as the Irish, saw the blacks as just another competitive ethnic group.
Do you mean misanthropist? A misogynist hates women.
Just wondering if you really meant to exclude men.
PING = later
Pass the popcorn. That is exactly what diversity brings. Afro-American, Latin-American and Asian-American! There is NO MELTING pot any more because each “group” thinks it’s group is more important than anyone elses and refuses to assimilate (melt) into being US citizens.
Oops,I goofed.I did mean misanthrope!
Tho I do have my misogynist moments occasionally as well.
Hey, did you hear about the famous Greek hero, Mysogenes?
