whats boracial, you mean malatto? Im not white im mixed my skin is not that dark and not that light

cyborg9

So why did you refer to yourself as Black in that post?

cus i am

So, you'd refer to yourself as a Black person, but not as a White person? Don't you see the flaw in that? Truthfully speaking, you are neither Black nor White. You are Biracial. It is erroneous to completely disregard one half of your biological makeup and classify yourself exclusively according to the other half. I'm not saying this to be mean or offensive; I'm saying it because it's true.

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] 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. KHAndAnime

That's not racism. that's a legitimate opinion.

Just because you think it's a legitimate opinion doesn't make it non-racist.

I don't agree with all opinions, but I don't have to, because they are opinions. In some person'smind it COULD be a legitimate opinion. You're saying they are not allowed to consider a possibility. Why?

it's just hate and anyone who spends their time putting any serious thought into the intelligence of another race based on their race is just trying to find an excuse for their hate. So ultimately it's just hate. They do not have anything else better to do other than hate someone else. And they will try to justify it. They won't, but they will continue trying.

I have noticed this and it annoys me to no end. Racism will not disappear while people think this way, regardless of their intentions.

Let's be real for a second. As long as there is more than one race in this world, there will ALWAYS be racism.

Don't quite understand why you think a person's preference for a soul mate equates to racism.

Then I guess no one is allowed to refer to themselves as black, seeing as how most "african" americans are mixed with something else. Also, in order to BE black, your skin has to be predominately black. That's all it takes.

I usually only find black girls to be attractive if they're mixed or naturally light-skinned.

Doesn't make me racist.

I'm Caucasian, I find other Caucasians and Asians attractive. I do not however find Africans, Middle Eastern's or Indians attractive. This being because It's my preference. I don't have anything against people of those races at all. I just don't find them attractive. (That includes the Hollywood ones)

Ignorance will always be around. If it's not racism, than it will be something else. Personally, I think prejudice based on a factor one has no control over is just stupid to begin with.

1) Sexual attraction is not racist.
2) Once we realize that all of humanity is inherently the same (some people are just to ignorant to realize it), then racism and discrimination will end.

It's the opposite of this. Racism is learned, it is not human nature. The massive and uninterrupted brainwashing comes from your parents and society. Take very small children of many different backgrounds and put them altogether and there is no evidence of racism.

Why do exclude your European heritage? If you're not fully or mostly of African descent, then why are you calling yourself black? You're not black; you're not white. You're biracial.

No. Racism is just tribalism writ large, and since tribalism is part of human nature, you're not going to eliminate racism any time soon.

Race is a social construction. There are no biologically distinct human races in nature. WE create different races, not nature. Given the fact that no one looks exactly alike, you will basically have to invent a race for every person. However I do realize that many people need to feel superior than someone else. So if it wasn't racism, people would likely find something else to make them feel superior, probably something like who lives on the nicest part of the planet or who is the smartest.

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.electricmoron
That has nothing to do with racism.... I don't like how they look bottom line.

Since we're on the topic: I don't think it's racist if their preferences are naturally more narrow-minded. (Hey, sue me. You can call something a "preference" all you want, but if it doesn't cover everything, it's a show of you naturally being unable to find what is so darn attractive about every race. Same goes for other things.) You can't say you hate all foods just because you find mushrooms not to your preference, and all. Same concept here.
