Are you racist?

I'm a little bit racist, I'll admit, it's almost normal in this country in this day and age.

it's almost normal? I hope you're kidding

no I'm not racist and I'm happy that I don't know anyone who is

amacachi · 11-09-2010 04:01AM

I'm not racist but, sometimes I am.

old_aussie · 11-09-2010 04:02AM

I'm not racist, as long as they don't move into my street.:rolleyes:

YouTalkinToMe · 11-09-2010 04:05AM

I cant even do a spoon and egg race.

Improbable · 11-09-2010 04:08AM

Only towards people of my own race. Does that count?

When I was in Chicago, this black guy said to me "So, do you drink Guinness?". I replied; "Do you eat KFC?".

Not really a racist, but it's hard to beat a good racist joke.

Ruu_Old · 11-09-2010 04:11AM

The secret is to say that you're prejudiced against all races.

How does that make him racist? He's just using a stereotype like the black chap did.

Meant that in regard to the Guinness comment.

It appears some people don't even know what racist is.

True.

DOC09UNAM · 11-09-2010 04:23AM

Love a good racist joke.

But have many a black friend.

stoneill · 11-09-2010 04:24AM

I'm not racist - I hate everyone equally.

greenmachine88 · 11-09-2010 04:27AM

I don't even mind most black folk it's just a lot of black women seem very rude and arrogant, not to mention they're inferior to us mighty whitey's :pac:

KidKeith89 · 11-09-2010 04:28AM

On a more serious note, I don't think Irish people are generally racist. I've never heard from a black Irish person (that was born and raised in Ireland I mean) that they've experienced racist slurs or anything like that. Obviously the recession is affecting people's opinions on non-nationals, particularly Nigerians - we all hear the comments of Nigerians not working, cheating the social welfare system, etc. (Which could very well be true, or not.)

Irish people just don't like seeing non-nationals being taken care off when there are Irish people suffering. It has nothing to do with skin colour, but where a person is from; there is a difference obviously.

You'd like to know wouldn't ya hippie!

Yes, I drink Guinness, it's just a mere coincidence that I'm also Irish.

markesmith · 11-09-2010 04:54AM

Not in the slightest bit racist.

However :rolleyes:

The tinkers really get my goat </rabblerabble>

Also, anyone who took your jobs, I guess I got a problem with them. Though they probably took your jobs on the basis of meritocracy.

11-09-2010 05:06AM

I'm not racist at all, I don't think.

There are definitely some people who live up to poor stereotypes (the rude/arrogant black women, etc.) but sure you'll find that in every race.

There's an extremely racist woman living near me, who seems to love giving abuse to any black people around the place. That said, though, I haven't seen her around in a while. Hopefully she moved.

To be honest, I'd be the kinda person that gets quite uncomfortable when someone makes a racist comment in my presence.

aurelius79 · 11-09-2010 05:28AM

I'm a bit of a racist but anything over 1 km and I'm out. A lazy racist I guess.

sorry Mom, sorry God.

MIN2511 · 11-09-2010 08:55AM

To a certain degree we are all racists!
What bogs me is what some people define as racism; telling another white person to go back home isn't racism!! Can't remember the word for it but it's definitely not racism

KTRIC · 11-09-2010 09:02AM

What I love is the auld race card, everyone bar white caucasians get one and get to use it when they like.

Amazingly enough I can't accuse a non-white person in Ireland of being a racist or lodge a complaint with the Gardai against them.

bonerm · 11-09-2010 09:02AM

I'm not racist. Some of my best bus drivers are black.

Mister men · 11-09-2010 09:06AM

Yes. Most people are in one way or another even if they are unable to admit it. People are tribal it's in our genes.

Slunk · 11-09-2010 09:12AM

I work with a lot of different nationalities and they are all nice people. But as soon as i dislike a person from another nationality i become racist in many peoples eyes. Just because i dislike or have an issue with one black person say, doesn't make me racist. And i do dislike certain people like black women , sleazy Pakistani / Indian men, travellers. I also hate white social welfare merchants. I actually hate a lot of people.

Terry · 11-09-2010 09:23AM

Yes, but like all racists, I also hate myself.

Cakes. · 11-09-2010 09:23AM

I hate when non nationals talk really loud and start shouting in their own language and act like they own the place.
