Why is it only white people that are racist?

[Trausti]

If only her parents had felt the same way.

Affirmative action is taking actions based on the race of the people involved. Textbook definition of racism. You just think it's good racism.

Self defence is taking actions intended to physically restrain or injure another person. Textbook definition of assault and deprivation of liberty. You just think it's good assault and deprivation of liberty.

And of course, so does everyone else who has thought it through. If the effect of an assault is that a person need to defend himself to avoid further injury, then he should be allowed to do so - although there may be plenty of room for debate about how far he might reasonably go. And reasonable self-defense isn't called assault or deprivation of liberty, because that would be misleading - just as misleading as it would be to refer to Affirmative Action as 'racism'.

If the effect of past racism is that a person needs assistance to achieve what they might have achieved had the racism not occurred, then that assistance should be provided. It may be technically racism, but it's no less justified than is self defence - I can't just walk up to you in the street and punch you, but I am perfectly justified in punching you if you just stabbed me.

So your a hypocrite?

Damn those wipipo!

White people.. if you're not a dick nobody is going to call you a racist.

Just don't be a douche, this isn't hard.

Heretic! The tenets of the Church of Social Justice instruct that being White is an original sin and perpetual penitence is obligatory.

People are dumb. People on the left are dumb. People on the right are dumb. Pretty much everywhere, people are dumb.

Calling them out for the stupid things they say/do, though, doesn't make anything better.

If people are trying to build a better world but a bit misguided and you're standing there laughing at them you might also have a problem, as well as them.

If you're okay with a double standards then you're a hypocrite.

 

[Loren Pechtel]

And to use a self defense defense you must show that there was specific evidence of a threat. You can't shoot someone for wearing gang colors even though that shows they're of a group likely to be a threat.

Likewise, you shouldn't get to commit racism without specific evidence of a problem in the situation.

*air ball*

How about showing what's wrong?

You'll be called a racist if you object to racist policies that favor non-whites.

Well, you'd need to demonstrate it is a double standard first.

Sometimes you just have to stand back and let people fight over sand.

I also have issue with leftist reactions to some things, but the smart move is to not inject myself into it. Irrational people can't see reason, so trying to reason with them is kind of unreasonable in itself.

This is also a more fun position to take.. that of the spectator rather than the participant.

Is it wrong to treat a person differently based on the immutable characteristic of that person's race? If it is wrong then it is wrong. If you start making exceptions for some but not others, that's a double standard. Hypocrites always find rationalizations for their double standards, but hypocrites they remain.

And probably, although I do try not to be. Most people are at one time or another, and I don't imagine that I am perfectly immune to occasional hypocrisy.

Is treating a punch thrown in self defence as different to one thrown without provocation really an example of a double standard in your mind?

You'll be called a racist if you object to racist policies that favor non-whites.

That's because it's not okay to be White.

Senior Micah Ferden said, "Was really shocked that someone had the guts to do this because we try to promote diversity so much and seeing this is saying hey, we still have students who aren't fully invested in this diversity message."

Minority students are calling out the metro, saying the community still has a long way to come.

"I just realized how much hate is going on. We live in a world without love, and it's crazy. I thought this was the last place I would see that, but apparently it's happening," said Moshe Mekori, Sophomore.

Damn crackers.

Do you get that? Diversity requires that White people be self-loathing dregs.

So what? If it's not true, you don't need to care. If it is true, you would be well advised to change your ways. Either way, no harm done.

Why do you care what people call you - unless you fear that they might be right?

Yep, you can rationalize anything. Does the White trailer-park kid get to throw any punches? Or is he just condemn to his original sin. Can we please quit with this Nazi/Soviet practice of putting people into castes?

[Trausti]

So who gets to do the punching?

The findings suggested that Caucasian middle school students experience more bullying than African American students generally, and specifically when minorities in school settings. Caucasian students also experienced almost three times the amount of race-based victimization than African American students when school diversity was held constant.

Wait... I thought we were talking about racism. Look, if you have ants in your pants, I can understand the goalpost shifting, but honestly, it is impossible to talk about subject with people that either have ants in their pants or just like to move goalposts to try to keep their internal logic intact.

Hypocrites always find rationalizations for their double standards, but hypocrites they remain.

A hypocrite would be a person that supports AA, but then wants it annulled in a hiring position that affects them personally... not a person who understands the false equivalence of juxtapositioning racism with affirmative action.
