Just seen a strange case of blatant racism on the bus home!

Why is that

Race is a social construction. There is no genetic basis for dividing people into racial groups as if your similiar skin tones mean similiar heritage. Ethnicity is also a social construction but it is based on shared heritage, language, and culture. Racial groups and ethnic groups vary depending on the state.

Also IQ is not fixed and can be raised through stimulus, problem solving and basically a good learning environment.

Because if there is a correlation between race and IQ what value does it have and what purpose does it serve?

Why not try to draw a correlation between foot size and IQ? Why pick race? What purpose does it serve?.

If its true and a country like japan has a high IQ population why would they want to see mass immigration from countries with low IQ.

In all fairness is the white South African not in a better position to judge the black South Africans, being from the same continent and all that?

Mind your own business OP. Twas not a conversation you were invited too

South Africans are openly racists. Irish are closet racists.


The white south Africans I know say that Ireland is great, people just quietly agree with them.

No I'm not.

What's with the enthusiastic generalisations in here?

Terrible comment to say on a bus.
Don't they know these things should be muttered under your breath, as you sip a cup of Barry's Tes and peer through a gap in the curtains.

As someone who worked in building sites around Ireland, can I say to those making comments on South Africans and racism, get over yourselves.
We aren't much better.

Immigration is a different issue and is more connected to economics than IQ.

Why did the Polish with their supposed higher IQ of 99 come to this hell-hole with our paltry 93? They really moved down in the world didn't they?

Would japan want large amounts of people with an average IQ's of 70 coming to their country. BTW i'm not a true believer in all that IQ stuff. The jury is out as far as i'm concerned.

3000 white farmers murdered since the end of apartheid.


And xenophobic black mobs hunt down and lynch immigrant workers from poorer African states.

Yet everyone talks about the racist whites making a casual remark.

If they had a construction boom or needed workers for manufacturing? Why not?

Is it racism and xenophobia or just good old criminality though? Did you even read the article?

"We're not talking about xenophobia, we're talking about criminality," said Govindsamy Mariemuthoo, adding that police reservists and officers from other regions had been called in.

Yes, I read the entire article, and No, my views are not impeded by a solitary quote from someone who maybe doesn't like to admit xenophobia to foreign press.
There were riots in 2008 that left 62 dead. Mostly by machete wielding gangs singing ANC anthems.
These were described as xenophobic attacks on foreign workers by Human Righst Watch and the S.A Govt themselves.

I heard gang rapes by black men on black women are the norm. I would not like to live in South Africa, i never forgave them for that horrible noise during the world cup games in 2010

I don't think 99% of black women or 99% of Asian women would date you, so it looks like it's a wash for you.

My props to you for pointing this out. It's a great pity AH is most times a one way street on this issue, most could care less And they profess 'tolerance', what phonies! (But then again we figured these types out ages ago.. (aka the Helen Lovejoy archetype) )

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar encounter with open racism in front of everyone.

On the bus coming home yesterday evening, I was waiting to get off and I was queuing behind a couple that spoke with Southern African accents, one of them chats to the driver about there travel around Europe.

Then drops this bombshell "Yeah I like Ireland, not too many black people eh?"
I was really shocked that he said it, so to was the driver who spoke how great black people like Phil Lynott were in reply to him. Then the backpacker said "well I don't like em".

It happened so quickly in a bus full of people, he wasn't joking, he was serious.

Most South Africans are black so i assume these people were black?

And Phil Lynott was not black.;)

I am shocked by some of the racist vitriol being spewed on here. In fact, I am stumped for a response. Oh well, that's probably because I am not as intelligent as white people according to the resident Darwinists. I better go steal something for dinner. Values, integrity, honor, principles, basic decency? Ain't nobody got time for that!! Don't you know? That's only for the evolved white people.

I'm sorry you have to read the bollocks posted on this thread, Itwasntme. Your response was legendary though. Fair play! I wouldn't have kept so cool.

There's a point in there, just waiting to get out - I can feel it.
