What i hate about racist white trash

You and Phlabs both make a good point.

Although I'm not sure that "white trash" is a racial slur as much as a regional slur against southerners or an economic slur against the poor. (At least here in the states.)

Regardless, I agree that this thread started badly and quickly got worse.

i meant it as a slur against your typical bogus "successful" both eyes closed pc american white trash, who constantly and religiously close their eyes to all forms of oppression and repression. And are more worried about how much their brand new car payments are going to set them back than anything else.

I work at an all womens college in New England, and the term "white privledge" is used often. The idea I guess is that being white in America means you are unlikely to ever be on the negative side of racism. That as whites in America, we live a life of privledge for no other reason than we are white. I'm not sure I entirely agree, but there is some validity to the argument

Oh that argument is very valid.

The big con of the centuary, is that we as a race fear being racist, where other races asspet it as part of their culture. I know many people of other races, and they are all racist in one wey or another - South africans hate nigerians, Indians hate Muslims, Zimbabweans hate the brits ( stereotypes, yes...but work with me on this). They all have cul ...[text shortened]... ifference, or to voice a dislike, for fear of being "[b]RACIST

Makes me sick really 😛[/b]

Your generalizations speak for themselves. Your post does not make any sense, hardly encompasses the whole of human experience and tolerance.

I wonder how many here have actually been victims of racism?

In my home town, I constantly dealt with ridicule and being singled out because of my heritage. Anyone else?

I never considered hating on the Chinese. I like most people, and if I don't it's based on their personality, not nationality.

Why would you even make such a lowbrow statement? One has to wonder...you appear to be one very strange person.

I was called a cracker. I asked what it means being just a kid and all.

When he told me I said, "YOU DON'T KNOW ME, MAN!"

i go to police march i get arrested. It don't matter what color my skin is or how much i make each year or what i believe. it only matters that i get arrested for exercising my rights to peaceably assemble and to free speech. Now this didn't really happen to me, but it does happen alot.

That's not the whole story. Blacks do commit a disporportionately high amount of violent crime here in america.

It's related to poverty, not a natural disposition to commit crime

Wrong. Crime stats don't lie.

Sorry, I would ahve to say that is not racism. Discrimination? Maybe.
