So the other day I was In the grocery store and I saw an Asian lady at the checkout and I said “mam there is a petco across the street” then she got mad then I said fuck you you stupid Chong am I the racist

Fuck you all

I know this is a touchy subject. I'm not white and I never used the N-word in a conversation or ever will. I understand and agree how it could have a double meaning when a white person use it when talking to a black person, but does it have the same double meaning when they talk to a white person? I know it's really cringe if this happens, but I just want to see what your guys take in that.

I work in a hospital in an area where there are multiple large populations of immigrants, many of whom don't speak English. At first, I would just go in and start talking to the person in English like I normally would, if I wasn't sure of their language preference. This lead to several awkward situations where the person was clearly trying to get along in English, but I wasn't sure they were understanding, so I'd have to call an interpreter. So basically sending the message that I didn't think their English was passing muster. I finally concluded that it wasn't fair to place the onus on them to ask for an interpreter since many seemed to feel bad about needing "extra resources" and causing delays.

Now, if i have any suspicion that they don't speak English fluently, right off the bat, I say something like "Before I start talking your ear off, I just wanted to make sure that you're comfortable in English." In the age of awareness about "microaggressions" though, I wonder if this is offensive?

As an Asian, when I am mistreated by whites, it is always hard to decide that person is a jerk or a racist. So if any white person reads this, can you share with us if there is still some racial bias among some white people. And what they are. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

First time Redditor, long-time lurker. Warning: This is a long post.

I turn to this community for advice today. I am certain this post will inflame many, and I want to preface this post by saying that I am receptive to all points of view on this matter, even if they are harsh. I just need advice, and all points of view are welcome.

Situation:

I am a Caucasian female, dating the love of my life, who is half white (Irish) and half Basque (Spanish). When I say I'm white, I mean white-white. I am English, and have had my bloodlines traced, and I am as lily-white by blood as they come. This is not a point of pride for me, I point it out to illustrate that of the many who have benefitted from white privilege in life, I am certainly among those many, as much as that brings me shame.

As such, I make it a point in life to use my skin color for allyship, towards the millions of oppressed and mistreated people of color in my country. I regularly attend protests of any form, and actively read and educate myself in all racial matters, in the hopes of restructuring the racial bias I have insidiously been taught in our bigot school systems. My point - I try very hard to be a part of a movement that is helping right racial wrongs. Take that how you will.

Well, the issue I bring to the table today, is that I am facing a huge amount of white prejudice in my current relationship from my boyfriends family (and at times my boyfriend too), and I am struggling. I know, I can already see your eyerolls as you read this - "Here goes another white woman, crying about how unfortunate she is". Bear with me, but say as such, if you feel I need to hear it.

But, I digress. As mentioned, my boyfriend and his four siblings are half white, half Spanish. But, they all carry a tremendous amount of shame and self-hatred surrounding their half-white roots. They are ashamed of their paler skin, and white heritage, because they condemn white people, their patriarchy, and their "colonizing ways" as being at the root of so much wrong with society today - rightly so, in my opinion.

As such, whenever I visit their home (my boyfriend lives with his sister and brother) I sit and listen, sometimes for hours, as they spout anti-white sentiment. They are a very political family, so talks of how white people are a plague, are commonplace when we all hang out. They treat me with a great deal of passive-aggressive condescension as a white woman (his siblings, not my partner directly, in these discussions), and almost go out of their way to make derogatory statements about white people when I am there, just to see if they will get a rise out of me.

I never take the bait, because I believe that a lot of what they are saying is valid, and I also do not believe it is my right as a white person to say anything, when I cannot possibly comprehend their racist experiences as half-brown people, at the hands of the police, education system, and government structures as a whole. We simply do not share the same societal struggles.

I stand with them, but silently note and very much feel, their hatred towards my white blood. My boyfriend has made comments to me about how he hopes so much that our children come out brown, because he hates his white blood. And many other small comments that I understand, but that make me feel prickly and defensive, because I know that all white people are not inherently bad. This in turn incites feelings of shame, because again, I do not feel like I have a right to judge him for his bad experiences at the hands of white people.

Fast forward through all of this background information to yesterday (and the catalyst for this post), when him and I were out driving and having a lovely day. He got a text from his brother that they were having a BBQ at the brothers girlfriends house, and that we were invited. He is VERY close with his family, so he immediately RSVP'd for us. And, it pissed me off.

Because, I knew that this now meant an evening for me of us sitting around a bonfire as a big group, likely with me listening to the usual diatribe of how awful white people are, at some point. Head down, sitting in shame like a naughty child at the principals office.

And it hit me, that I have come to see time with his beloved family (who I do actually love too, contrary to how this post might sound) as something to endure, like a swim in the sea where you know you'll have to get stung by a few jellyfish, in order to get to the prettier parts beyond the shoreline. I realized with a huge bang, that I was resentful (and exhausted) of him and his family for how they always make me feel. And, it started a fight as I finally let loose in the car about all of this pent-up frustration and hurt.

I told him I didn't want to raise my own children with self-hatred for their skin color. Because, fuck that. I want them ACCURATELY educated about white societal wrongs, but I don't want to raise them ashamed for something that isn't in their control (their skin color and heritage). I told him his family is rude and inappropriate.

It left with me storming out of his car (childish, I know), and we haven't spoken since. And I spent the night trying to process the whole thing. On the one hand I feel like I am right to have finally voiced my frustration, because boundaries are important and every persons right, but on the other hand I feel like your typical bratty white person who can't take criticism for her races' wrongs. I just feel worn down from taking and taking their hatred. And, it breaks my heart that they possess such self-loathing for nothing other than having white blood.

This man is the true love of my life, but I don't know how to grow old with someone who has self-loathing for being 50% of what I am - white.

What are your thoughts on the whole situation? Like I said, any and all opinions are welcome.

I just need perspective because I can't reconcile this on my own, no matter how much I go round and round with it in my head. Please help me make this make sense.

All human life came from the same spot, yes or no? Then why if we started alike then we need to respect a group of people, white, black or whatever just because of their colour everyone had the same opportunity in the beginning I'm tired of political correctness either you have the ability to succeed in this world or you don't stop asking/ demanding equality when you're incapable of success some folks are inferior accept it!!

I'm not talking just whites. But I see a lot of black hate, white hate, Asian hate, ect. I'm sure it's just a vocal minority thing (meaning small but very vocal groups.) I'm 26, white, and poor. I don't doubt that people of color have it rough, and I just want to talk to someone of color about this stuff but, to be honest, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that being white is a crime. All I see ever is bad news. And social media actively taking sides is only gonna make everything worse. I've got my own opinions. I know not everyone will agree with me. Growing up, I never knew about racism. As I got older I learned about it. What do I do? Turn on all whites? Let people of color beat me bloody? What is it people want?

Judaism is a religion. Any person, of any ethnicity, can absolutely be Jewish. (In fact, I recommend it, haha.)

We call religious believers in Judaism by the term “Jewish.”

But “Jewish” is also an ethnicity.

You can be ethnically Jewish but of any religious persuasion that suits you.

Obviously, there are many ethnicities that are NOT correlated to visible physical traits. Ethnically-speaking, Jewish folks can appear White—although they’re not from that branch of the tree, so to speak.

I am curious: Why is the Jewish ethnicity not considered along with other minorities?

I want to say for every reason but literal melanin in their skin, the ethnically Jewish are POC/minorities. But I don’t see this on the census survey or in any drop-down menus, ever. Are we protecting the ethnic Jews from another genocide?

(Again don’t confuse this inquiry with Judaism the religion. Jewish ethnic and Jewish religious are homonyms at best.)

When I was in the Southwest there were a few swarthy Italian-Americans, Sicilian probably, who would adopt Latino culture.

Here's my question.

Why aren't Sicilian-Americans who are swarthier than the average Cuban classified as a different racial group?

Once in awhile on talk shows when they covered East Coast White Supremacist Skinhead groups you would see a few Italian-Americans who were awfully swarthy.

Here, not sure why or why not, but nowhere on the internet or anywhere in public around the world is there a place for being black and speaking for myself. So why are there no forums for black separatists who don't join up with organizations such as BLM or Islam? Why do we need to associate with some group in order to get to speak for ourselves? I just got another boot from a moderator on some other forum. Their last words were "don't test me." Wow, that's threatening. But I guess they can away with anything as long as the good 'ol system backs it up.

You assholes are just as racist if not more than most everyone you call racists. Truthfully, wouldn't you like to see black supremecy? You deserve it right? After black people being treated so unfairly for so long. All you do is try to make white people pay you for the sins of their forefathers. Yea sorry that slavery was part of your races journey. Yea its fucked up that your people were treated the way they were in the past. And I only say your people because you work so hard at separating yourselves from others. Mainly white people. You are a liars if you say you dont want to see white people have it as bad as you think you do. Thing is most white people dont give a shit about what color of skin people have. It's you who always make things a racial issue, and it's a fucking cop out if you ask me. When do you decide that things are finally equal? When we have a black president? Uhh no... been there. When most mainstream entertainment is mainly comprised of people of color? Uh no...because that's how it is now. When cops kill white people at the same rate as blacks?uh no... they do already. And they shouldn't be pulling this bullshit at all, to any race. Don't feel like you've got it so bad. If a cop fucks with you when he pulls you over its because you ain't got your shit strait. If your shit is correct you ain't gonna have any problems same as any other person they pull over.Its easy. You see lights, you pull over , turn off the car, put your keys on the dash, roll the window down, have both hands on the wheel, and be waiting just like that when they walk up to the car. Then ask if it's ok to get your licence, registration and insurance when they ask you for it. That's how I've managed not to get shot the numerous times I've been pulled over. Be legal and have your shit strait and I can guarantee you won't have any problems in that situation. They're just as quick to pull a white person out their car and fuck with them if they don't have their shit strait,believe me. Because I've been there, and I don't try to blame it on someone else. Act right and you don't get fucked with, bottom line. But you've got the luxury of having people believe that all the problems you face are the fault of the system, or who ever else you can blame for your situation, which is surely not going to be yourself. That's called "black privelige". And you use it every chance you get you racist hippocrite.

Michael Eric Dyson has his knives sharpened.

He has just – on MSNBC – called for the killing of white kids.

No...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nRv2UVDOg0

You take things out of context: https://www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch/juror-says-zimmerman-got-away-with-murder-38698051577

"so blacks won't look so bad but now the assholes want white kids to die as often as niglets.

They want the entire world to be dragged down into the same gutter existence that they live in (and created for themselves) and can't stand that others don't. Sorry, nigger~ We aren't like you and don't want to live like you and never will"

Yeah, you get off scott free for doing the same shit: https://www.citylab.com/equity/2019/08/police-officer-shootings-gun-violence-racial-bias-crime-data/595528/ https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/race-and-punishment-racial-perceptions-of-crime-and-support-for-punitive-policies/#A.%20Whites%E2%80%99%20Limited%20and%20Favorable%20Criminal%20Justice%20Contact https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/10/28/1441921/-The-problem-isn-t-black-on-black-crime-it-s-poor-on-poor-victimization

"The reality is that the black community riots after things like the Rodney King and Zimmerman verdicts because they are so used to getting their way at every turn that they throw a temper tantrum on the rare occasion they're told "No," like the little girl in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

Even though whites get off more often for the same crimes? https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/un-report-on-racial-disparities/

And Zimmerman lied? https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2013/7/18/1224692/-So-Zimmerman-DID-Grab-onto-Trayvon https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2013/06/09/1214336/-DNA-Report-does-NOT-support-Zimmerman-s-claim-that-Trayvon-Martin-caused-his-injuries#

"He's right. Until more white children die at the hands of black savages, people in this country won't wake up to the truth… that black people aren't like us and segregation is necessary for the survival of our way of life."

Even though the worst towns are the most segregated: https://www.governing.com/topics/public-justice-safety/gov-segregation-main-feature.html

The American Negroes are the most vile! They are closer to being animals than humans and I believe that scientists do know this but are not allowed to say so for pc reasons, nearly eveything about their behaviours, physical attibutes, mental capacity, low impulse controll and so on indicates this, I suspect this is why there's been so much push for mixing with them its an effort to try and breed out the animalistic traits or atleast dillute their dna, this would also explain the rush to try and map the human brain, they know that this group is less evolved and therefore less civilized. We really need to protect ourselves from these feral beasts and protect our children raise them strong and segregate asap! They're NOT like us

No you are like them...

We are witnessing in real time the "gaslighting" (hat tip Lorraine) of the culturally dominant Left's narrative into reality.

The facts: Towering, athletic black Trayvon brutally attacked the hispanic Zimmerman who fired in self defense. This what the jury, the "finder of fact" in a jury trial, agreed happened.

The narrative: Angelic 13 year old black child was stalked and brutally slain by racist white man.

The narrative is completely divorced from reality, but in a surreal, Orwellian manner it is becoming entrenched in the popular mind as fact.

Even though Zimmerman made multiple lies? https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2012/12/4/1167220/-More-Proof-Zimmerman-Lied

And, only white people can be homophobic, even though 70 percent of Black people voted to defeat Gay Marriage in California:

Lies: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2009/01/prop-8-and-blaming-the-blacks/6548/ https://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com/2010/08/maggie-gallagher-is-another-reason-why.html

However, Stuff Black People Don’t Like includes Gay Marriage and yet, their disapproval of homosexuals exchanging wedding vows isn’t based on hate, intolerance, bigotry or homophobia, but merely family values.

Only white people can be hateful. Black people, especially in the AGE OF OBAMA are immune from any negativity.
