Why is that most people prefer to marry within their own race? Is it because of biological or social/cultural reasons? A lot of white men say that they do not find most black African women attractive except the few famous ones that they see on American TV. I wonder why that is.
Well, look at some cultures all the same race. they develop a caste system to seperate everyone. I wonder if that would be next if racism went away. Or is a caste system a form of racism... hmmmmm...
My city is primarily white, so if I were to marry somebody from this city, which race am I most probable to end up with, if you just look at numbers? That's math, not racism. If you live in an extremely multicultural city you're more likely to date people outside your race, because they're there. It's not racist to not find certain features attractive any more so than saying "I like blonde hair and blue eyes" makes you a nazi.
What about the African Americans who call me white? Thats racist! :P But on a serious note, it seems like that racism still occurs in the older generation which is quite understandable since it was a different period back then for them. It doesn't seem to be much of a problem with the younger generation as we are learning from the past. Only time will help bring racism to a close.

Why do you think? The woman they are referring to are mixed breeds, heavily. So they havemany of the features that we find attractive. Not being attracted tosomeone is not racism, it'sjust nature.
Women with skin that's too light tend to be deemed unattractive. Same for women with skin that's too dark. It's not the color it's the shade.
Asking if racism will ever end is like asking if trolling and tyranny will ever end. Geee, what do you think? Will sarcasm ever end?

Yes, like racism, sarcasm will end when humans end. How many times do I have to say?:x:P
In the U.S., racism in a broad sense has already ended; I'm assuming you've heard of the emancipation proclamation and the civil rights act? You can't stop individuals from being idiots, but the inherently racist laws on the books have already been abolished.

Affirmitive Action is pretty racist/sexist if you ask me. This is coming from a black guy mind you.

Affirmitive Action is pretty racist/sexist if you ask me. This is coming from a black guy mind you. Socioeconomically, there's a gap between some minorities and whites. Affirmative Action would be racist if it wasn't based on the sad realities of our time.

Affirmitive Action is pretty racist/sexist if you ask me. This is coming from a black guy mind you. I was going to comment on that, but the general liberal bias on OT tends to chastise me any time I express conservative views. But I do agree that on issues like college admission, skin pigment should not carry any weight on one's application; however real hardships like socioeconomic status should.

Giving one group benefits/handouts that another cannot get because of sex/the color of their skin=racist/sexist. Anyway you slice it that's a fact.

I don't mean to be offensive, but why do you call yourself Black, when you're biracial? For example, would you ever call yourself White? Would you ever say that you're a White person?

"Most" people have no problems with a person's skin pigment. It's really more about your wardrobe and attitude that affects a person's perception.

Anyway you slice it that's a fact. Social and economic disadvantages disproportionately affect non-whites. AA aims to correct the problem by simply considering applicants' minority status, which works sometimes. AA should instead consider net family income and social environment, but race is far easier to gauge. The policy is not racist, but also not optimally designed. The intention is noble, which is why I don't consider the program racist.

Ultimately isn't racism personal hatred towards another race or races? Racism isn't the source of the problem. If a person wants todislike or hateanother based onstature, weight or shape why can't someone dislike or hate anotherbased on their race or color? Hate is hate so no matter whythey hate someone it's all the same, haters are going to hate. Who really cares why? Race is just another reason to hate. So racism won't end until haters stop hating. That's not going to happen. Some people just gotta hate and we understand that. So that's why we don't take them seriously, we know they are just hating because theyneed something to hate. They probably hate everything.

How does a university collect and verify information about applicants' net family income? How do you classify which social environments are eligible for AA? Crime rate? Dropout rate? How do you interpret statistics for an enormous amount of distinct neighborhoods, mitigating differences in sample size? Does the average university have the resources to do this, or should it be handled by something like the Census Bureau? It's not easy, and will take time to perfect.
What I'm saying is that, in the meantime, what we have is passable.

So I see racism/sexism is passable now. Just aslong as everyone has their boot on the white man's face.

No, it isn't.
Then what is it?
It can also be any form of belief that one race is a better than another (at something or just in general). To think all black people are stupid, would be an example of this. Just because someone thinks a race is generally stupid doesn't mean they have personal hatred towards them.

That's not racism. that's a legitimateopinion.
Just because you think it's a legitimate opinion doesn't make it non-racist.

I understood that, and disagreed with it. Your disagreeing with it doesn't change the fact that it is correct. Given the same metaphor, I'd say that AA helps the underprivileged overcome the boot in the face that is America's history of domestic race relations.
It will when people stop paying so much attention to it. It defeats the purpose to be against racism yet openly acknowledge that you're black or white or whatever. If you don't want to be treated differently, don't mention it as if people should give a damn.
