All of a sudden i am a Pariah for providing some form of counter argument.....i can see how debates like this usually end up in a farce. My point is proved 😛

It's one thing to claim that there are cultural differences which separate us, which is true in most places, but then there is disliking an entire race because of those differences. That's called intolerance.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundOf course racism isn't limited to white people. I don't think anyone said that. But you said that every non-white person you have met is racist (which could be true, of course, but in that case you have met a strange selection of people), and you generalised your experience and said that it's part of their culture. What I found worst though was the last part:

"Only we, the White man have been scared into this PC Bullcrap, frightened to notice any difference, or to voice a dislike, for fear of being "RACIST
Makes me sick really 😛"
The way I read this, it sounds like you think racism is a good thing, and it makes you sick that it's not accepted in our culture.

Seems to me that most Americans dislike the Chinese. They refer to lead poisoning and the likes in threads. However, I believe that that dislike is actually fear!
The major US companies buy from here because they abuse the labour costs here, at their own gain. The customers who complain buy from their own brand favourites, coincidentally?
The US production, which was once a power, is lost to the Asian developing mass producers, and all America has been and will be is a service provider. That is before Asia copies that same thing and then mass produces it in quality also.
Then what does USA have left? No coal, no oil, no gas, no army and no service provision. Then who will be the brand? The people who they rip now? Like China?
Careful boys!!

With reference to racism that is.........

I don't dislike the Chinese.
When you make a statement like this, you open the door to intolerance.

And, to add, I said most!
If you count yourself out of that then good for you.
I did remark, count the thread responses!

2nd. I would never take comments posted here as being representative of any country or of sane people in general.
