Also, has anyone ever wondered which race of people AREN'T discriminated against? I mean have your ever heard, "Damn those eskimos and their igloos...". Its a serious question too, im not trying to be an idiot, although im succeeding there confused:
No, I was actually referring to the part where the "purposefully retarded" text had stopped. Yeah, I have heard the "Damn eskimos and their igloos" a lot, because my race is related to the them. Also, Finno-Ugric peoples were discriminated against in the Soviet Union.

Deadlyy Guy is actually talking about a theory that has been spoken of. Take a good look at the state of Africa. Now, although Europeans have some say as to why it is messy...a lot of it also has to do with the location and the resources available to the people. In other words, progress in Africa would be slow either way...imperialism or no imperialism.
In conclusion, I am not saying that slavery was a good thing. Because it was horrible and wrong and cruel. However, I will say that slavery and the struggles of their ancestors have given current African Americans a beautiful life in America.

Edit: you know what i was gonna just leave it at that but you know what F U C K YOU bitch you have no idea what the **** your talkin about in 90% of your posts Lowriders are NOT A MEXICAN ONLY HOBBY. in fact you can go to streetsourcemag.com right now and i guarantee you 60% of the over 300,000 people on that site are white guys or latino's that were born and raised in the USA, also quite a few black people. so your punk ass needs to do a little research before you go spoutin your mouth off about someone's way of life if you don't ****in like it then stay the **** at home. God you have pissed me off beyond all belief and your lucky i don't know where you live or i'd show you just how strong my pimp had really is.

true. however badly white people have treated black people in the past, the current black people do enjoy a good life comparable to white people. hmm. breaking eggs to make an omelet type of situation, huh

i think that's a bad arguement considering that they are looking at it in months instead of comparing it to say, christmas which the nation give about 2 weeks to

I love it when a black man screams, "My people didn't endure hundreds of years of slavery just to be treated this way!"
"I don't see any chains on you buddy..."
You don't hear the Jewish people screaming about all the times they've been mistreated in their history. You know why? Things changed and now life is good...get over it.

Where I live, there aren't many black people or Mexicans around. The rare occasions that I do run into them, I treat them with respect, and they do the same. Differences in race and skin color do not hinder intelligent conversations here.
However, I'm starting to think that I'm somewhat against certain aspects of my own kind...that is, Chinese. More specifically, it's the people who moved here from Hong Kong as I did. Seriously, those people need to stop thinking that they're so cool because they dress differently, or get new cell phones every couple of weeks, or obsess with sports cars. Quit thinking you're some pro racer in Initial-D before you ram into another lamp post and make the rest of us look bad on the news!

im from taiwan
i think chinese people that you see are getting dumber and dumber because the work it used to take for people to immigrate here, the money and knowledge, has become less. it is so much easier to immigrate here now so you will start seeing the normal people of your race and not just the hard-working part of your race. think about it, it must have been incredibly difficult for asians to move here and start a new life. those that have succeeded are the smart asians that we stereotype. now that it is easier for people to move here, we are seeing the average aspects of our race in our society now because in the past, all the smart ones left for america and now all the dumb ones are coming over
i dont think you're so much against your own race as against the bad aspects that every race can have. every race has their own bad aspects and you hate the ones you see because i assume you hang with asians a lot
it saddens me though that none of those aspects apply to me. im so whitewashed. look at me. i have proper grammar

Hmm...I hang with Asians a lot, yes. It's actually several groups of them. One group consists of the really whitewashed Chinese guys (those are some of my closer friends). Another consists of people from both Taiwan and mainland China (a few of them I play D2 with  ). Another consists of the stereotypical "Hongers" that I was talking about. Sure, they're nice people and I enjoy hanging out with them sometimes, but all that car-modding, teched-out phones, and funny pants stuff is a bit too much for me. rolleyes:
I do have a few friends who are white. Believe it or not, one of them is seriously into rapping. I don't want to discourage him from that, and I admit that some of his songs are pretty good.

You cannot generalize the bad aspects of a race, but merely individuals.

*is still waiting for liddo to PM me his address.
and NO. it is NOT stereotypical of mexicans to drive those cars. most mexicans that drive lowrider cars do so because thats what's popular in their area. you'll find just as many white's and blacks driving the same customized cars and trucks depending on the area. And the spend alot of money fixing those vehicles up to get noticed. its people like you who don't understand why they do it so you bitch about it like a ****ing retard. hell i've owned 6 vehicles since i was 16 and everyone one of them had 1) a LOUD ****ing system. 2) Some type of suspension modification. 3) hundreds of little things i don't want to list.
here's MY point. don't open your mouth unless you've researched the topic you are about to talk about.
and don't EVER argue with me about custom vehicles.

Generaliaztion doesn't have to include only bad aspects.

And that's how prejudice is born. Believe it or not, Hitler generalized jews in exactly the same way.

Hitler hated Jews, and I never said that I hated anyone. I stated that what those people do is annoying, but not hateful. The other big difference is that my generalizations are towards my own kind.

If we are talking about stereotypes, lets talk about how Canadiens stereotype Americans. Boy most canadiens hate us! Race is not an issue in this type of stereotype either, just the word American sets it off.
