How many of your friends and or family are racist?

Triangular

I can't be the only one that hears regular racist comments dropped into every day chit chat.

How often do you hear racist stuff being said?

My examples over the last few weeks and months;

- Bus driver (black) beeping at children to move aside on their BMX's? ..."You fcuking n1gger, fcuk off back to your own country n1gger"...kids aye?
- Random dude in a Spar when a black man in front of him paid for his stuff and left the premises...."They're like a vermon they are, once they get in they take over the place" ...??? Big man when the bigger man has gone!
- Friend in the pub..."Driving down the motorway, this stupid n1gger pulls out in front of me" ...No white person has ever been stupid?
- Elder Friend after the recent Dominique Strauss Kahn rape trial..."She was a black cleaner...maybe he didnt rape, maybe he only touched off her"...???WTF!!
- Guy in a pub in town..."I'm telling you, all those black drivers [taxi] are double-jobbing. Sure they have one fella in the picture and a few of them drive the car...I love hailing one down and when I see he's black, I tell him to fcuk off"....ok wait in the cold you fool?

I really don't know what to say or do in these situations? Every time anything racist is said I kinda know that the majority of people sitting around me, Irish people, aren't actually racist but not really arsed defending the racism stance. When these racist people have children, they will just continue the trend of racism by dropping racist comments in front of the kids or the kids of their friends.

I often hear people saying stuff about travellers, but more often than not the traveller family they're giving out about has done something. It's not a case of travellers are....[insert insult here]

Is it really racism against travellers anyway? They're white Irish people like the majority of the population, they aren't a separate race. I'd call the negative attitude and comments towards them as bigotry, but not racism.

Racism is def rife in Ireland in the ways that we speak about and perceive foreigners of all colours and creeds. I would be interested to know if there have been any incidents of violent racist crimes in the country?

I have an aunt that is an unreal racist. Anytime she is about to come out with some bile she always prefaces it with "I'm not a racist but...".

There's a couple of mates would have racist comments from time to time . That said I've no issue with hispanic , chinese , indian , black , eastern european etc. Roma gypsies and travellers I don't have any fondness for if I'm honest . I don't know if that's racism on my part or something else but my experiences with both of these kinds of people would be very negative .

Racism is never excusable.

Being naturally racist does that excuse the racism?

I see a lot of anti-immigration and anti-multiculturialism, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as racism. Still comes acrossas ignorant, though - especially when, half an hour later, they're ordering a chinese or indian takeaway...

We are all racist! In a heart warming way. Like a hot chocolate on a cold winters night. Is that the right answer

Extremely cleverly way of getting a racist point across OP?
