Are you racist?

One Cold Hand

I hate culchies. And people from Cork. And Munster supporters.

I believe that everybody is or has been 'racist' in some shape or form. Whether it's burning lower case letter t's in your front garden or calling someone a Polish-whatever under your breath, everyone has done it, or at least thought it.

There are obvioulsy different levels or racism and lines that shouldn't be crossed.

Is this yet another KKK recruitment drive?

NO I AM NOT A RACIST! And for the last time I'm not joining your bloody pointy hat social club.

Jaysus, you sign up on Fairs Day on a drunken bet 6 years ago and they never leave you alone. :mad:

Pfft. If you're not aborigine, you're a blow in. :pac:

No. Its fun though, because my dad is, even though he pretends he isnt. So the conversation would be like Now you know Im not racist but all those ________ are ****ing stupid bla bla bla. Insert Racist-Quip/Joke Here.

Do you pronounce Saturday as Satday or Saturday?

Youre not off to a good start when you discriminate against yourself by using a label.

Normally I'd agree here and say that anyone who starts a sentence with "Now I'm not racist but...." usually follows it up with some vile hate speech but........

isn't it possible that they're right the odd time? I mean wouldn't the joke be on us if ALL the <insert nationality> really were <insert stereotype>?

The same way any other person with a Dublin accent pronounces it.

You only get a certain amount a day. You probably used them all.

haha good.

My brother in-law is from Victoria and seems to pronounce it Satday. I thought it was his strange quirk till i went there and others did too.

Though they seemed to think Irish people saying thirty is hilarious

Lirange

Yes I race for a living.

It's hard graft.

Racism is such a complex thing. By definition, recognising any difference in another human being and treating them differently as a result is racism, be it positive or negative. I don't think any person can truly consider themselves 100% not racist.

Ass

Yeah, I am. I hate travellers. No exceptions.

seamus

I have my prejudices, we all do. However, I don't let it affect how I deal with someone on an individual basis, whatever their creed/etc

Dragan

Personally i think we hinge a lot on people being racist and the people who will talk about how racism is wrong will then knock religion, social status and anything else they feel like.

Like Seamus said, i definitely have my "ism's" and i tend to prejudge people at times. Probably off far more intangible things than race as well.

Dyr

I'm as racist as a chinaman

Of course I do.
It's very easy to tell when you treat someone differently.

I am not racist,
I love all Nigs/chinks/pakis,etc..........:P

stovelid

It's never black or white.

Pol Pot

why not?

DonJose

I'm not racist but my wife is foreign and shes a pain in the ass...

WindSock

Sometimes...

I have some terrible thoughts in my head, but I don't put them into action or words. It's more out of frustration at people who get in my way on the footpath, roads or shops though.

KilOit

Dislike travellers, 90% of them seem to be robbing *****, used to help sell in the markets and they'd slit your throat if they got away with it.

People who say there alright are probably ignorant and have never had any dealings with them.

Now long term settled travellers can be nice people but it's a very small percentage

Proud Racist here, We (whitepeople, for those playin at home) are obviously gneticaly superior

the Abbos had Australia for 60,000 years, what did they do with it, absolutley SFA, 200 odd years of White occupation and we're one of the greatest nations on earth

were all the white settlers in australia not originally the lowest form of prisoners from england that were sent to australia as punishment.........the abbos (as you so delicately put it) have the higher moral ground.

Don't think I'm a racist but I've had the odd moment or 100

Oh i get that all the time over in England like ' say thirty ' or ' dirty ' like i was the fcuking elephant man or something

Edit- But it's done in jest with no malicious intent

WindSock

Sure, the Aboriginals aren't doing well at surviving in todays Australia, but they did a damn good job of it for the last 50,000 approx. years or so, in one of the most uninhabitable places on earth. I cant see how they are expected to adapt to a ****bag racist criminal culture over 200 years.

Latchy

The white australians have a reputation for coming across as xenaphobic and racist .Now that may just be the sterotype but weird to think that in the main they are made up of every white european race in europe .

Mahatma coat

yeah, but 50,000 years of our evolution compared to theirs.
