How big of an issue is race these days? Options

[THECHICKEN]

I'm not saying white people don't suck

I'm just saying mexicans do

they smell funny too

[Mommy]

Yeah, it all really is about where you live. Border towns are pretty racist.

hell yeah they are, but for some reason it never really bothered me. I even lost a really cool job because they felt uncomfortable working around me. It was a volunteer job, and I was only 14 at the time so I didn't care too much. At that time, I went to a predominately white and black school so I hadn't been exposed to much racism yet. I switched schools a year later to a predominately Hispanic school that had a lot of kids attending there who lived in Juarez (private school). I learned that if you are really accepting of their culture and try to speak their language and stuff, they don't hate you as much. I pretty much only spoke Spanish at lunch time because all my friends were Mexican and spoke Spanish to each other. The people that REALLY got made fun of were the Mexicans that didn't speak Spanish. The girls from Juarez would talk so much shit about them in Spanish and right in front of them because they knew the person couldn't understand them.

MEXICANS AREN'T A RACE OF PEOPLE, GODDAMMIT

Just a trashy group of people who come from a country directly south of us

don't be ignorant. What the hell else do you call it when you discriminate against someone for not speaking your language or having the same color of skin as you? Yeah, Mexicans are considered Caucasion, but there isn't a single word to use for discriminating against an ethnicity.

[impala454]

uh... hispanic?

[Mommy]

uh... hispanic?

yeah, but what do you say if a Hispanic person discriminates against a white person? or vice versa? It's easier to say they are "racist" than "discriminatory against an ethnicity."

[woody]

pochos are what juarez beaners hate

I hated this one cunt who thought she could talk shit in spanish about people and not think they could understand. Mind you she was over 24 and still did this crap so i hated her even more.

oh god, I know... it's so annoying. I pretended at different summer jobs in El Paso that I didn't speak or understand Spanish just so I could listen in on them talking shit about me. It happened a lot.

[Melanie]

I just hate everyone equally. It makes it so much easier.

Correction, I hate ignorant people equally.

[Inferia]

Correction, I hate ignorant people equally.

I think we're all ignorant...

[impala454]

exactly... i think a lot of people are ignorant of the word ignorant's definition

the sentence: "I think Joe Bob is ignorant." makes zero sense.

I don't mean "a lot of people", I mean everyone. I don't believe there exist a person who knows everything about every subject matter.

That's just an incomplete sentence.

I know what you meant. I was agreeing with you and expanding on what you said

When the hell did I ever say I disliked mexicans because of their skin color? I don't care if they're brown. If I did I'd dislike Cubans and Brazilians, which I don't. I don't like them because most are degenerate snooty disrespectful assholes who refuse to speak our language and expect us to bend over backwards and adapt to their culture, even though they're in our country.

I've never once said anything about mexicans being racist towards whites. They're being discriminatory against Americans, which is a country....just like mexico

It isn't racist. Call it something else but "racist" is an incorrect term unless you discriminate based on the color of their skin, which I don't
