[tyger]

I'm trying to be casually racist about it but never learned how.

must say based on my experiences america seems far more racist than the uk

people here just don't care save for a tiny minority of ethnically diverse racists

That's racist

[DRTY]

you're both racist

[Terpit]

You're more racist

[joeki]

for the record, and I've said this before:

In my book, there's a big difference between RACISM, and Anti-Zionism (note that I use Zionism and not Semitism). But that all just gets lumped together these days (as Pkay just illustrated).


Yes Yes, I'm a IZAN CNUT I know.

If you're referencing the Greek athelete who talked shit on African immigrants then you should be adressing GREECE's racism. That's like.. the most racist place on Earth.

I don't think that, let's say, America is less racist than the Netherlands. But deff racist in a different way.

The 'lack of ethnic diversity' in European sports is a big pile of fucking bullshit, though. Straight up.

[tyger]

I'm literally |-| this close to saying something racist in each of my posts because it is just SO not something you should post here on DSF. I kinda feel like that zombie dog who's trying to resist the cupcakes every time I'm about to hit the 'submit' button.

Still not a girl, though.

you seem to be implying girls are racist.

Happy to see white folk not offended by white folks comments.

I'm black.

lol as fuck. Pkay generalises based on race in a thread he fucking made about his generalisation about other nations generalising about races

Europe doesn't have a king

Ethnic diversity in sport is an interesting one to bring up really... aren't two of America's major sports leagues pretty ethnically undiverse? Almost-totally-Black NBA, Almost-totally-White NHL? There isn't exactly much melanin in MLB either, well apart from the Mexicans. The NFL seems more diverse, I guess.

But tbh, it's just impossible to generalise attitudes across a whole continent. It's difficult enough with a continental country like America, but a continent filled with 50 separate nations, 20-odd languages, innumerable cultures and tens of millennia of history? The idea that people think of "Europe" or "Africa" as a single cultural entity is pretty strange indeed.

What a load of bollocks.

America's constant paranoia over 'Mexicans' and their labelling of every black person as 'African-American' seems more casually racist to me than anything I've experienced in Europe.
If you're casually racist in London or Birmingham you'll get knocked the fuck out quick sharp. I supposedly live in a racist place, Cornwall, but that's a load of bollocks too.

Don't we have more important things to worry about than casual racism anyway? How about non-casual, violent, or propaganda-backed racism? Wouldn't we be better off worrying about that?

[noam]

there's no difference when you look at the solution to both 'casual' and 'non-casual' racism...
