Marshmellows in cereal, who would have thought the Irish had it in them to come up with such a cool idea.  Just goes to show that even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time.

As has been stated before, I believe Racism is a blind hatred based entirely on outside information, whereas prejudice is based more on your actual experiences.  My family rents out property in a low income, high crime area with a concentration of Blacks and Mexicans.  Have I seen poor representations of these races? Absolutely.  But I've also seen white people who were just as bad, if not worse.  I admit that sometimes I keep my suspicions about races.  I see a group of blacks dressed as thugs walking towards me, I try to veer out of the way. 

A couple years ago, people would come up to me and say "Hey, have you seen American History X?  It really reminds me of you."  I was an ignorant racist.  Yet one day, I finally watched that movie, and became disgusted with who I was.  While not as bad as the protaganist, I had begun to folow that path.  I quickly tried to change myself as I matured through High school.  I feel I've made good progress in overcoming my prejudices.  My neighbors from Afghanistan fled from Kabul when shit hit the fan back in '01.  They have a son who's my age, and he's become a really good friend of mine.  He and this other Iranian girl have really opened my eyes to the religion of Islam, and I believe that thanks to them I no longer live in ignorance and fear of an entire group.  Yes, they have their bad apples, but everyone does. 

While it is not uncommon to harbor an initial judgement against someone due to their race, you must still make an attempt at getting to know that person before you damn them to a stereotype.  First time I met my black friend Jon, he was dressed out like a thug and trying to act "ghetto".  But we found common ground and have formed a very solid friendship.  Now he's a Cav Scout with 2ID, but he comes back and still dresses like his thugged out retarded self, even though that isn't his lifestyle. 

You can't judge a book by it's cover.
Take each person as they come. Stereotypes are absolutely worthless on a one to one basis.
Except of course, those people that play into the stereotypes.
Like all the fat, badly dressed Americans I've seen in town over the last few weeks? It would be a shame for anyone to tar all Americans with that brush.

Well I beat the last black guy I took on in an arm wrestle so the stereotype didn't hold true in that particular instance!

And all the heavyweight boxing champions are white at the minute too.

What are you on about? Saying all black people are stronger than white people is another stupid stereotype. Many black people may very well be stronger than many white people but if it was a hard and fast rule I don't think you would find many bookies taking bets on any boxing matches.

well what would you say if i thought the generally black people are physically (from a genetic perspective) superior to any other race?

Look how much they dominate sports.  Hell the Olynpic 100m sprint has been dominated by blacks since jesus clambered on his raptor and has been an exculsiuve blacks only club since barcelona 92.

I was trying to find his original post to figure out what you're on about? Did he say black people can't be medics because their superior strength should be used for heavier tasks? If that is the argument then yes it's racist...that is the allocation of tasks based on racial stereotyping.

saying black people have superior strength is enforcing a stereotype though.  Even if it is a compliment.

It is how you handle your prejudices that makes a person racist. Prejudices are developed with experience and are instinctual. By your logic racism is unavoidable. This I disagree with.
wrong, whether you show or dont show your prejudices you still have that instinctual disposition towards a race which is still racist, its whether you learn to accept people for who they are and let go of those instincts is when you over come racism.
Racism...instinctual???  Dear Lord...

he is implying that it is ok because black guys are stonger, so they should be in jobs that require more strength, not skill jobs.

Oh fuck it.  If lowing said that you and cam would shit your pants.  whatever.  done.

Nice thread. Epitomises the general level of discussion on these forums.

Seriously, go back and read some of this tragically ill-considered detritus and tell me it shouldn't all be deleted.....

Races are different. Acknowledging this is not racism.
Treating people according to different standards according to their race is racism.
Positive and negative discrimination aren't good for anyone.

I'd jump back into this but I'm done being called a redneck, banjo playing KKK Nazi skinhead because certain people don't agree with my point of view.
