I'm not a racist. But I believe that in this day and age we are too freaked out because we might "offend" somebody. Not long ago in the news I heard about some indian(I think, it might've been asian, some religious guy let's say) sueing somebody because they put a picture of a dog on the front of a calender. because it was "Offending to his religious rights" or some other bullcrap reason. I think that world peace is achievable. But if things like this keep happening. Where we can't say things like "I like fried chicken on a Sunday" because it offends people, then I'm not sure it's a peace I want. What do you think of things like this? Should we watch what we say? Or has a fear of angering people taken over our words? |

Bending over backwards to make things sound right to people who wheren't born in the country and not paying attention to those who where is a big mistake. The more it happens, the more annoyed people will get and the more problems that is going to cause in the long run. I'm not racist, I don't care where someone is born, but if they come to a country, they should expect a diffrent culture and should just ignore it, if they aren't born here, why should they be giving the chance to change the country? You don't see other countries like say India changing just because some English family say is offended by something. The problem is, we will change it and they won't, it's little things that annoy the people living here. Personally, most of the things don't affect me but I do think it's stupid that people even moan about something in a diffrent country and suddenly something happens to please that community. |

things are now made to suit the minority, for example christmas is called "winterfest" in some places in Britain, sand this is done to cater to the needs of the religious minority so that they are not offended. It's all stupid and pointless and it seems everything gets caught up in "political correctness" i absolutely hate Racism but it seems using the racist card at every opportunity only causes major problem. A lot of the stuff that happens in Britain on this subject is the whole debate about Christians and Muslims, and there's a lto fo crap about people not allowed to wear crosses to avoid upsetting other religions, where some Religious minorities can do whatever because if the same rule is applied there is a massive protest and all this do is create anomisity between everyone |

My Secondary School banned the full covering for female muslims though, it was against the dress code, as well as caps and hats inside the building. We didn't have a uniform though, just certain things you couldn't wear, crosses where allowed but not in PE for safety reasons. Also Light, do you mean "Wintermas" or specificly "Winterfest" because Wintermas being a form of Political Correctness is a myth, not sure about the other right now. But yeah, it's a pain how places only want to meet the needs of minority, a country should focus on it's majority. If you anger the minotiry, a few might rebel or stir up trouble, easy to deal with but if you anger the majority, you could get a mass of people rebeling and causeing trouble, much harder to control. The more the govenment meets the needs of the minorities, the more likly it is that people in Britian are going to vote BNP. Which is a bad thing. |

The thing is, I don't understand how people get so worked up on things like Christmas. Britain is a Christian country. If we went to sayyyyyyy South Africa (First country that came to mind) we would be expected to keep our mouths shut. Or in places in the middle east - Shut for us. In this country a man who proclaims to have bombed us, hate us and our religion endlessly. And curse our families. Is not allowed to be kept in prison because of human right laws. And because it could anger the muslim community. Whereas if we did the same in their country, it'd be decapition in front of the public |

In the world I belive the only thing that's racist is 1 thing and 1 thing only, that is neglecting someone for their race. But then, minorities are not happy without just that, they want more. Muslims want to be neglected from school activity to pray 5 times a day or whatever it is they do. Then when the principal or their boss rejects their offer they brand him a racist and fight for their right to pray. SHUT UP, YOU DECIDED TO COMES TO THE USA, CANADA OR THE UK FOR A BETTER LIFE. This is not Saudi Arabia, people work here 9-5. Another thing is that in today's day and age, the only people that are prone to racism are skin minoritys in the western world. Again, muslims.. when their churches get bombed in the middle east they PROTEST IN THE STREETS OF DOWNTOWN MONTREAL. . .WHY!? you IDIOTS, you chose to come to Canada for a better life, and you have a better life. You're not sitting under bombs, so why protest!? You don't see me.. or any other Christian protest in the streets when our churches get burnt by Arabs in the middle East do you!? Should we!? To be honest, the only people that have a big problem with racism are the strict Arabs. the one's that pray 5 times a day. Geeze, you know what happened once here!? This Arab Sikh went to court to fight for his right to carry a religious KNIFE in SCHOOL.. and he WON the case. HEY, If he can carry a knife at school.. why can't you?.. why can't I? Why can't anybody. If neglecting a minority is racism then neglecting the majority isn't.. that's not equality, and isn;t that supposidly how we're supposed to break racism.. equality!? Look I'm not saying all arabs are like that, I'm saying alot of them are strict about their culture.. to strict about it. And I know what you mean Mike, about dogs and indians. Once, maybe 10-12 years ago.. I was a little kid, but I remeber one of the tenants of the apartment was complaining that another tenant had a dog and it offended her and she didn't want to see it, so she complained to the land lord, and the land lord told her to shut up and mind her own business. And mike I think you're wrong about it being an Indian, they wouldn't do that. it's muslims that cannot get close to dogs, from what my experience tells me. point being, if you come to another culture.. be ready to be assimilated. Europeans did it, Blacks did it, Asians did it.. to be honest, non of them ever complain about counter culture.. much, although I don't think the muslims have yet. I'm not saying all of them, so don't get offended if you are, anyways.. you know what I mean. Edited by .Punxx, Jul 12 2008, 03:23 PM.

Certain people in the US are making it harder and harder for me to care what I say or do in public anymore.  These people find any reason possible to get themselves in the news.  They stand for racial equality, yet the commonly are either dead wrong or just completely biased.  They look for reason to parade around and get as much publicity as possible based on an event that doesn't affect them in any way.  Reason's like, Nappy-headed-hoes. And the hypocrisy that follows. |

World extinction, in my opinion, is a lot easier (and more realistic) to achieve than world peace. Not that I'd really want to witness either as long as I'm alive. Sure, I think that political correctness is asinine in many, many ways. But at the end of the day, every human has to take all responsibility for everything he/she says and does. Never underestimate how far one would go from being offended by any words (directly or indirectly) spoken to them. EDIT: Since there hasn't been much deep discussion here lately I thought I would expand on this. I would tend to say that there is a profound difference between out-and-out racial hatred on one end, and at the other, awareness of racial issues, to put it one way. The people who scream "Kill all ______," or "All ______ are inferior to us (and therefore need to be put down)," are a nasty, small-minded lot. People who stereotype others to such a degree that they cannot see and cannot recognize the people who don't fit those stereotypes are the next step down, and are generally just about as equally small-minded. However, I think it can be perfectly all right to note that different human groups and cultures as a whole possess different traits and values, while also recognizing that individuals within each group will typically prove to differ even from other group members in some often-interesting and even unexpected ways. I think is useful and productive to sometimes make intelligent, flexible predictions about someone's values or behavior based on the signals they're giving off, and the group(s) they seem to belong to. And, if you're in a dangerous or risky situation, being somewhat prejudiced may save your life. Certainly, there are times where you can't afford to stand around and analyze why someone is making you feel uneasy, and whether it means you need more sensitivity training because societal conditioning has caused you to adopt the prejudiced dominant paradigms of the-- WHACK! Keeping racism in your arsenal and in your awareness may help you in situations where other people are being racist (or prejudiced in other ways) against YOU. If you're extending olive branches while other people are getting out their clubs, you're at a serious disadvantage, especially if you think everybody else is handing out olive branches, just like you.

Muslims are making it hard for my province. The province I live in has the lowest birth rate in North America. So when these Muslims complain, the government lets them win. why? Because, by sppon feeding immigrants.. more will come, and make up for the low birth rate! All they do is complain, they think the rest of the world is racist towards them.. yet they want to assimilate the rest of the state. 1) The sausage story I already mentioned 2) The revolution of the Gazza strip in 2006; THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT WAS GENEROUS ENOUGH TO SEND BOATS TO LEBANON AND BRING THESE REFUGEES TO CANADA, WHEN THEY GOT TO CANADA THEY WERE COMPLAINING THAT THE BOAST WERE BADLY CLIMATIZED AND HYGENIC.... ***** YOU ARABS, THEN IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE BOATS WHY DID YOU GET ON THEM!? AND ROT IN YOUR HELL OF A COUNTRY 3) There was a case about muslims at a PUBLIC POOL who went to court and ordered that there not be women swimming at the same time as men 4) there was a case of a sikh who ordered the courts to have him PERMISSION TO CARRY A KNIFE IN SCHOOL... HE WON THE CASE 5) Muslims burn Roman Catholic churches in the middle east. God forbid a mosque gets blown up in the middle east, let alone Canada.. THEY BE PROTESTING EVERY WHERE 6) They come to a new country, and they don't respect the norms of a multi-cultural society 7)They protest because they're selfish, they want you to acknowledge what their country or homeland is going through, but don't give a ***** about your country or homeland Me you think I care about your homeland!? Man, they do all this commotion in politcally correct countries such as UK, USA, Canada... Go to Russia, try doing that and you'll get hunted by a bunch of Russian Nationals. Try doing that in Italy and you'll get punched by Genoan Carrabineri, lmao Now sunate, you haven't seen real corruption until you visit Quebec, Canada. I hate these people, they say we're racist.. when they have problems. The sad thing is there is a minority of middle Eastern ethnics who are very very nice people I hate to say it, but if anyone disagrees with my stand on this, you're all hipocrits.

Sorry to stray off the path but i have been thinking lately and i just wanted to see if anyone agrees. Countries like America, Australia and other first world countries are very multicultural and are often accused of being rascist countries. But you you head overseas to some Arabian countries and they will literally kill you because of your race. My parents are going to Hong Kong and they have been told that there is a strong dislike for white westeners. Rascism is everywhere in every country, is it fair to point the finger? Im not rascist, was just lingering on my mind. |

I agree with T-Unit, multi-cultural countries like America, Australia and the UK are constantly accused of being racist because of the tensions. In the Middle East, there is a massive majority of one religous group and therefore people are not allowed to complain because they will not be listened to. In the UK and the US people are listened to and more often than not, out of fear they win the case. In the Middle East when somebody of another culture or religion complains they are ignored or even attacked. |

You're right buddy, I've said this before.. Don't even get me started on the Arabs. I'd trust a black man 110% more than a white Arab man. These Arabs are the biggest hippocrits and they're sneaky people do not trust them. There's only 1 Arab I know who I barley trust, and I have known him since I was maybe 7. On Topic, these middle Eastern Arab countries are full of hippocracy, they're idiots. First they come to my country and they complain that there is not enough of their culture, when they should be happy my government does not send them back to their war wiped country... but in their country my people (Catholics) are not allowed to wear any crucifxal symbol, are not aloud to go to church at certain points during the week and cannot even take Christmas off. Whereas here all the Arabs plea for a day off when Ramadam comes, where as here all the Arabs complain that Canada is to multi cultural, and they want you to acknowledge their culture while they neglect yours, and they protest because they grave their cities attention.. when there is war in their country. ARE YOU STUPID!? you fled your country BECAUSE of just that reason!!!! WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING, you're safe and sound living off of my tax money, you have a roof to cover you from the rain, you have a bed to sleep on so your back does not crack. YOU GUYS ARE OVERLY SPOILED AND YOU WANT MORE. Oh and did I mention that in their countries you can burn a Catholic church and get away with it. God forbid you even go near a Mosque in Canada, you're gonna have a big rally the next day in front of City Hall "ALI ABUL ALLAH ALLI ALLI ALLI ALLAH" There is good and bad in every race.. some more, some less than others. There are very good and honest hard working blacks, while there are bad blacks. There is good Italian in the world, there is bad Italians. There are morbidly obese Americans.. there are healthy Americans. When it comes to Arabs there's alot of hippocrits.. that's all. Whether they're good or bad they're all hippocrits Edited by .Punxx, Aug 8 2008, 09:58 PM.

How does that prove your point? Have you heard what is said behind your back? I mean it's quite hard to tell, all the same Punxx, this topic isn't about how much you hate one race, it's about the way things are shown in society, your point is very one sided. You said there are good and bad in all but are pretty much saying Arabic people are an exception to the rule. Which I have to say is untrue, unless you can back up your point, which I don't want to see because you'll just end up making a racist comment as always. |
