We need to call out inherent racism in explicit terms

Because no one but white people can be in IT or play games, right? You should really look up the word ‘irony’ sometime.

As to what people think, I don’t give a flying fuck to be honest…nor do I give a flying fuck what YOU think. I asked you a question and you haven’t answered it yet, troll…why do your posts wreak of privilege and ignorance?

Yeah, 'cause niggers, they don’t go in for that tech jive!

:rolleyes:
(I don’t know anything about XT’s skin color or racial/cultural heritage, but then, neither do you).

Here’s an example of the need to call out explicit racism. The “white old nerd heart”? This thread is not going to go well for you, amigo.

I’m Canadian. Who am I supposed to be bigoted against? Is there a chart?

Depends: are you an Anglophone or a Francophone?

Either people living in Ontario or Alberta depending on your locale. Of course we can all agree on Newfies.

I’d better let my black friends on facebook (around 20% of my friends list) know that they’re all racists for not knowing about this one issue and posting it!

Let me get this straight. According to you XT is a white racist. Anyone who didn’t read a study linked to on Facebook is a racist. Everyone who works in IT is white. Everyone who plays computer games is white. Is that right?

If so, not only are you a fucktard of the highest order, you are doing your ‘side’ of the debate no favors.

Racism still exists which sucks. However, knee jerk accusations of racism hurt the cause. It does not help, hell, in fact it plays into actual racists hands because it makes the argument ‘Minorities blame everything on racism’ seem plausible.

Slee

Jesus holy fuck.

What can be done about this? Are we just forever fucked?

So XT’s original point that calling everything racist dilutes actual calls of racism is illustrated immediately. If you don’t Google certain topics you are also a racist.

Nope - that way lies crazy town.

Clearly, your research skills are pretty limited. XT has been here for years, and many of us can vouch that he is Hispanic: second-generation immigrant, I think.

FYI, I’m profoundly white; you probably couldn’t have guessed, since I don’t talk about computers. (I am a fan of mayonnaise, country music, and lynchings, of course).

Since this is a diverse and inclusive site, we’re glad to have you here on behalf of the Dumbshit-American community.

I agree with the OP.

If you point out that people are prejudiced, people will accuse you of being the real bigot. :confused:

Only those ashamed of their own bigotry are bothering to argue, actually. The worst ones aren’t even responding, because they are totally comfortable with their own bigotry.

So if you call someone a bigot, and they argue, they’re bigots.
If you call someone a bigot, and they don’t argue, they’re also bigots.
Conclusion: anyone you call a bigot, is a bigot.

The painkillers study showed that even black healthcare providers believed that black people suffer less pain. So yes, everyone is bigoted in one way or another, pretty much. What of it? There are degrees of bigotry. Big shock.

You’ve used the word “bigot”. That proves beyond all possible doubt that you’re a bigot.

Did you even read my previous post? It addresses this point exactly. Whatever.

So are you claiming you’re not a bigot?

You’re not good with the reading comprehension, are you?

This could have been a good thread. I’m disappointed it’s been taken over by a loudmouth way in over his or her head.
