Re: racism sucks

i've gotten over the issue but it just angers me that people, even in the biggest and most diverse cities, are still super racist.

Racism cannot be extinguished. Look at Anonymouse.

Re: racism sucks

Well, everyone has a different take on this issue. From what I read in this thread, I get the impression that your only understanding of racism is just the street name-callings. Nobody talks about the civilized and constructive racism that doesn’t harm anybody. Nobody talks about the 'racism' that contributes to the preservation of our culture, race and language...

If somebody is against interracial marriage. Does that make her/him a racist?
My uncle does not give his house for rent to non-Armenians. Do you appreciate him and call him simply an Armenian lover or a racist?
If that makes me a racist, then I am one but an Armenian type.

By the way, whatever definition you have of the racism, it is not the worst crime of the planet earth.

my understanding of racism is the hate for other races outside of your own. now i believe that the constructive racism that you are refering to is more of favoritism for your own race but that does not neccissarily mean that you hate all other races. does it? i think that it just means that you prefer your own ethnic culture and background. racism , in my opinion, is a more radical approch to the issue because not only do you favor your own ethnicity but you hate another (or more than one).

"The world is not black and white. It comes in shades of grey." (a.k.a. no one in the world is truly good or bad. same thing applies to racism. there are many shades of racism and there is no one definition for it.)

There is no such thing as 'contrsctuctive' racism. Its like saying ''Mulricultural-Nazism''.

Racism is the belief that individuals of other races (or nations) are inferior merely for being foreigners or having a different skin colour. You either believe that or you don't.

Re: racism sucks

This is actually an interesting comment (versus nonsense hatred)...

You are actually talking about preservation of culture, not "RACE." Preservation of culture is a legit issue. RACE is not. That might sound like a small issue, but it really isn't. We want to preserve culture--and all cultures, too (wouldn't you agree). God gave us all this amazing diversity of colors, thoughts, and beliefs. Let us preserve and celebrate it! AGREE?

However if an Armenian woman marries a man from Kenya... that ADDS to the richness of Armenian culture. The kids learn both culures, and that is very GOOD!
