Real life racist?

Kevin Duffy · 28-07-2011 09:58AM #1

Are you?

Never mind the things you'd say on the internet, do you have the courage of your convictions to take it into real life?

Do you admit to your racism, or do you try to hide with "I'm not racist, but...."?

Do you spout through your keyboard, but sing a different tune when people can see your face, or you know you're in certain company?

Do you act on it? Do you treat people differently because of your difference?

Not interested in what your opinions are on any groups, just how you apply them in the real world.

To add my own view - I'm not racist and the views I express here would be the same as I would live out.

Yes Father, but do you just spout it on the 'net or in real life?

I am a Racist.

The 400m Hurdles makes me sick.

Nope, I'm not a racist. The only section of any society that irk me really are scumbags and some members of the travelling community. Overall I'm not a xenophobe or racist.

No I am not. I joke about it but I treat everyone exactly the same, If I don't like someone it's them personally I don't like.

I am not a racist, i am a realist.

bastados · 28-07-2011 10:10AM

But saying it on the 'net is different and acceptable for you. Ok, thanks.

sollar · 28-07-2011 10:20AM

I think we need to keep a tight eye on immigration. That doesn't make me racist but some people get worked up into a Politically Correct lather and accuse you of being one.

Not sure, is Dublin a race?

ha would you like me to get you a higher horse????
i cant really explain myself easily but i would never judge a person before getting to know them irrespective of there race, but i just hate when i am paying for the luas or sitting in traffic and a gypsie comes up and asks me for money. dont worry i feel the same fustration towards the irish junkies that do it too. i hold no ill feelings towards romanians but like in every community they have bad apples. so i apologise if i didnt explain myself fully.
also sorry if "gypsie" is not the pc word

wild_cat · 28-07-2011 10:33AM

I'm not racist on or offline and I'll tear strips off anyone who is around me offline.

Frank Black · 28-07-2011 10:34AM

Would you like a family of Travelers to move into the house beside you?

If you’ve answered ‘no’ to that question (and most of you have), then you’re a racist.

Herb Powell · 28-07-2011 10:34AM

I'm not racist, however racist jokes are hilarious. Mainly because I'm not racist.

That's not really being racist though is it? It's not a random prejudice, you wouldn't turn someone down for a job for being from a gipsy family it's just the bloody beggars, at least that's how I feel about it.

I'm not a racist, but considering that no racist would consider themselves one that doesn't account for much, flawed thread is flawed.

Really? Cause last time I checked travellers were the same race as settled people...

Strictly we should be talking about xenophobia here, still doesn't cover travellers but racism doesn't cover Europe although I ran with it in the last post...

Yeah its more of a political standpoint...

Living next to people who lock their young kids in a house with a packet of biscuits for food while they go to work all day leaves an impression of that particular race embedded in your mind.

and yes the guards were called.

Because you’ve made a decision purely based on your prejudices of a group of people from a different ethnic diversity.

Still not the definition of a racist...

Sorry but I disagree that they are a race, they are white caucasians, the same as the majority living in this country. The fact that they made the decision to live outside of society's norms doesn't make them a different race

Richard Hillman · 28-07-2011 10:41AM

I dont like Roma gypsies, im wary when im around black african people and when somebody that looks like he is from an islamic country gets on the bus with a back pack, my heartbeat ups a little.

Im not a bad person, im not gonna give them abuse about their race. Its just what goes on im my head when i come across these people.

Absolutely. In addition, anyone who tells that they are not prejudiced in some way is a liar.
