Why are there Chinese characters on the board?

Anyway, I'd need more than the one video to form an opinion.

I know that the first two say "I am." Not sure about the last two.

Despite what my blue avatar might lead the folks of Atlas to believe, yes I went to college. Smiley

Edgy, as always!

LLR, I don't think you'd actually believe that, but how would the same joke with a different race be received?  Rightfully horribly, as should this.

You really can't call someone edgy if you're going to argue that racism against white people is a thing.

     It is true; it says something about public perception of race when whites are the only group of people that it is socially acceptable to make fun of based on their skin color.

I didn't say it's a "thing," my edgy, adolescent comrade, I implied that it is indeed possible for one individual to be racist against Whites.

I'd LOVE to hear why you think it is impossible, using the definition of the term.  I'm fairly confident it will end with you simply saying you don't CARE if someone expresses racism toward Whites, which is entirely different, if equally deplorable.

I had a dickier comment typed up in response to this, but it ended up being a single sentence spanning six lines, which was disgusting, so I'm going to actually try responding to something seriously. Let's see how this goes.

First of all, what do you mean by "Using the definition of the term?" If you're just talking about the literal, one-line, dictionary definition of the term, (which is how I interpreted your post) that's not particularly helpful, as dictionaries aren't this authority on words that people seem to act like they are. They only reflect how the words are typically used by the general public, and can't reflect any political, sociological, or any other sort of debates of the term. For instance, according to the dictionary, marriage was only between a man and a woman until it wasn't, and before that, it was only for reproduction, until it wasn't. As a general rule of thumb, keep the dictionary out of political discussions.

Beyond that, not everyone agrees on what racism actually is, but I pretty much accept the sociological theory that racism is a reflection of the subordination of a certain group of people based on their skin color (or whatever other arbitrary feature is accepted as making them a different "race" in that culture. That is to say, if you aren't in a subordinate position due to your race, the idea of racism against you doesn't really make sense. While individual prejudice against whites can certainly exist, this is not happening within the broader context of whites existing in a disadvantaged position due to their race. Racism comes not from individuals, but is instead a reflection of society as a whole. For instance, if I declared that I hated everyone with red hair and decided that I'm going to go out of my way to discriminate against them, that's not racism, because people with red hair are not an inherently disadvantaged group, and me alone being a dick doesn't change that. Similarly, prejudice against whites is not racism because whites are not subjugated because of their race, and this individual prejudice doesn't change this.
