Racism....

Ok lets discuss racism.... Why does EVERYONE hate on someone saying something negative about a certain race and claim they HATE racist people, but consider it OK for people to be racist by saying positive things about a race?

For example saying "Mexicans will work for less money then u will and is a hard worker and wont complain cause he came from nothing" is ok because the person is saying they are hard workers...? Many people wouldn't over react over this, but that statement is basically saying "your race is inferior and doesn't work as hard as this race". Most people would call it the opposite of racism, but I consider just as vile and offensive as if someone said something bad about the race... Discuss...

Uh, duh.

Racism has double standards. Caucasians can't say anything about any other race, but every other race can bash anyone they want.

Political correctness wins! Woohoo!

Um, I wasn't talking about Caucasians though, but it is true. I just find it funny how people can say "Mexicans are hard working and the best at work" and not take offense. I mean come on! I've heard it many times and that's just one example.

I personally am disgusted by people like that just as much as people who bash a certain race.

I don't know where I'm going.
Being in the junior high out here is pretty tough for some students. There was actually a case today that kinda bothered me. I was walking with my girlfriend down the halls trying to walk her to class. I then saw this certain "click"(people who are in a certain group. labels. Such as Skaters, Rockers, Goths, Emos, ect. I would be classified under skater!) was making fun of these two immagrants. Now, I do use the term immagrant correctly because they come from the country of Mexico. Very new to our school. They can speak a slight amount of English. These, jocks, if you will, were maing fun of these guys because of the way they read and their accent. Even though they didn't understand English, they can still understand that they were being made fun of. I told the dudes to go away after this tacial argument. So, I went up to the two foreign students, and talked to them in Spanish. Spanish is my first language, and I'm very fluent with it. Hopefully. Anyways, I told them not to worry. I told them that being new is tough, especially when you can't understand our language. I told them to go see our Spanish teacher. It's the best choice as a tutor since Spanish teachers are usualy Hispanic, and are fluent with both English and Spanish. All the Spanish teacher had to do was teach them language instead of English.

They're learning at this moment. After school English lessons are what rocks. I hate racsim. USA has something against Mexicans only because Bush built a wall to stop illegal immigration. People don't see that.

What bothers me is when African Americans say "Nigga" then a white person says "Nigga" (in a 'friend' sort of way) they flip out. It's like Why call one another that when the word is used in a racist way...

Also, white people are bashed just as bad as any other race.

HEIL METALLIX!
Talking of the Hitler salute, some idiot in class used a pen on his face, producing the Hitler moustache, he only got a punishment exercise though, he should have been punished more.
Sorry, but I just think it's gone too far & cannot be sorted, what would you want, to be shot if you mentioned a racist word such as Nig...?

Word! I went up to an African American once and called him "Nigga" and he flipped out! he was asking me in a very mad way, why I called him "Nigga". The funny part was that his friend was there and said these extact words:
Quote:
 
Yo Yo! Chill yo. Calm down Nigga


I just looked at him and I'm just like, "WHAT THE HELL!"
So yeah, He just calmed down, walked away, and called me a dirty Mexican. Even though I'm Puerto Rican!
