Are you racist?

Paparazzo

Black drivers (where I live anyway) are generally terrible. Negative stereotype based on race, I guess I'm racist.
I also think micra drivers are bad

Gone West

People of minority races cook my food, serve my food, drive for me, work as armed security guarding where I live, clean my clothes, clean my room, etc etc.

Yet I am still fairly racist.

Racist? I don't think so. Intolerant of dickheads? Yes.

- Spanish students who nurse one pint between 10 of them in a pub and then rob drinks from everyone else after that.

-Spanish people (in my experience regardless of age) who think that they can steal from shops and then pay for whatever they get caught with.

-Roma gypsies who have never made one iota of positive contribution to Irish society. Training their kids to steal purses from elderly ladies and if they get caught claim their own children are crazy.

-Loud and obnoxious African women who have no control over their loud and obnoxious kids. And couldn't care less.

-Groups of meathead eastern european men who'll batter anyone that looks sideways at their girlfriends in a nightclub. Not as many of these eejits around these days.

The Irish were always very racist.

We succeeded in the USA because we hated one group of people more than the White Americans did, there was no love of the Irish, but just like our own recent Polish invasion, we accepted them because they were white and they had massive black competition for the same jobs and benefits.

We've been **taught** to hate people for thousands of years. After a while it just becomes instinctive and natural, "I'm not racist but ....!"

Everyone is racist or prejudiced to some degree.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. Everyone has a chip on their shoulder. The only question is how pronounced your chip becomes.

It may not be against a particular " race " exactly but all you have to do is scratch the surface and peoples prejudices will become clear.

I'm not a racist, I've had 3 black people in my house. I counted them.

1, 2, 3...alright enough, this ain't Harlem god dammit!

Through my job I work with people of lots of different backgrounds and races from Easten European to Pakistani, Saudi, Sudanese, Nigerian and I have always found that we are all human beings with the same predictabily 'human' charactersitcs. The only real difference between us is our cultural background. So while I may have an opinion on different cultural beliefs and practices I am not a racist in the sense that a person's race determains their personality traits and abilities.

They're not ventriloquists, they're part of a Broadway show called Avenue Q where they use loads of puppets like Sesame Street ones so they just carry around the puppets but talk & sing normally. Weird concept but it works. Other songs from it are "The internet is for porn" and "What do you do with a BA in English", one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

speaking of racism,youtube should be shut down with the amount of racist comments on it.

My great granny was a Roma from Italy, (thankfully that ended when she settled in the uk over 100 years ago (because i dont like Roma's (travellers) and to add, i don't like Romanians)). Im open and honest about that, i dont wish any of them any harm, i just dont have any time for any of them. I have a few friends who are Bengali and Pakistani,i i even had an Indian uncle and still have a Saudi uncle.

Most beggars that i see are Romanians a few might be
Roma Romanians.......


Roma were persecuted in Romania for a very long time but you still get Romanians that are Roma.

No I am not a retard, which is the real question here.

My name is URL

I don't think I'm racist, I mean I don't hate anyone because of their race or see it as a sign of being a lower form of human.

Having said that, I may be slightly xenophobic.. A Nigerian family lived not far from me and they were always unusually loud.. and instead of putting that down to the individuals I always ascribed it to be some sort of exotic trait. I know that's not fair, but I don't think it's terrible either.. we're all different, and try to explain those differnces in the most simplistic of ways

Abit possibly, especially against travellers and romas. Although I don't really consider people inferior because of their race.

What annoys me is the pc types who jump to accuse people of racism at every opportunity. Like if someone wrote a story of how they were 'attacked by 3 black men' they'll automatically jump in with 'was it really necessary to mention they were black?'. Its a description, if they were all ginger you'd say 3 gingers, can't understand that attitude.

pablomakaveli

I think "Are you a bigot?" would be a better thread title as most people seem to be confusing the two terms.

Over time I met loads of them,they told me they were from Ghana,Ivory Coast,Nigeria fleeing persecution and I heard loads of sad stories and there teenage kids had English accents LOL. We are a country of eejits,we really are and boy do they know it ! Am I racist ?? Yes,I can honestly say I cant stand them now ! Im not too proud to say I dislike people,but I can say Ive had more negative dealings with them rather than positive.
I await the abuse,but Im only being honest with ye from my experiences :cool:

Some ugly sluts in your town were stupid or drunk enough to have a baby with a man she didn't know, and now you hate the father? Shouldn't you hate the ugly drunken sluts that are making Irish people looking like feckin eejits? What's any of that got to do with you anyway? You sound like an idiot to me.

Is there something wrong with what I said? Foreigners see Irish people as idiots because....well, Irish people are idiots. The success of FF is testament to that. This thread is a perfect example of Irish idiocy. You all hate foreigners for coming here and taking your jobs or whatever. What about the Irish pricks that have run this country into the ground? You should start a thread called "Why I hate Irish people", because you have more reason to hate each other than some foreigners you've never even met.

I believe everyone is racist to some degree, the test is: Would you like your daughter or son to marry a Traveller? Be honest.

If he was an honest man and treated her right then the fact that he's a traveler has nothing to do with it.

I imagine they don't move because you're too gutless to walk up and ask them. Most racists in this country are gutless cowards. Is that closer to the truth?

g5fd6ow0hseima

I may as well weigh in here.

Ive never been outside of Europe so I cant comment on much. However, from my experience from my few years in university I will say that I see east asians (Japanese, Chinese) as the embodiment of a robot. It seems to me that their career is their life, with zero time for enjoying themselves.

Other than that I cant say much. Im not going to mention the awful sight of South Asian men 'trying it on' in nightclubs.

But look what ive just done - I bunched people from two different cultures into collective groupings of robots and sleazy bastards respectively. I guess im a bad person for doing that but I will admit that I do adhere to stereotypes as im slowly finding them to be true in life.

No, I'm prejudiced against Irish people. I'm also white so I can't be racist against them. The majority of Irish people I have met are very nice to your face but then insult everyone and everything behind your back. Most Irish are just ignorant hypocrites and they can't seem to help themselves. You all act like you still live in the 19th century.

Oh, and all this "They need to leave my country, look at all these blacks in my country." This isn't your country you silly little fools, not anymore.

Oh, is there anything incorrect about what I wrote? Irish people are not ignorant, hateful, small-minded fools? Maybe a few are good people, but I have not met that many. Just look at how you act towards each other because of where you live or how much money you make. Look at this hatred for people working in the pubic sector. You are all just hateful little people who direct that hatred towards anything you don't understand. It's very pathetic.

Arabs at least have some dignity. You do not see Arabs puking their guts and passing out in the middle of the street. You do not see Africans doing that, only Irish. You have no self respect, how the hell can you respect anyone else.

I've had a fair few dealings with travellers, especially when I was a kid as my father trained the local boxing club. Now, I will say that he was very good to them - dropping them home to the halting site, driving them around the country to tournaments etc. Many even trained in our shed and I used to hold up the pads sometimes. I knew many on first name basis.

So yeah, I have had quite a bit of exposure to them and I will state that I dont see them as desirable individuals in the slightest sense and I would be more than happy to never lay eyes upon one again in my life. Finally, I nearly got my jaw broken by one of those said travellers for simply kicking a ball in the air which landed on his head - a great thankyou for all the years of helping them out and providing them with the outlet which was boxing.

aurelius79 wrote: »

I never said Irish fathers were anything but I will once again reiterate that the act in which a man will father a child in order to gain residency rights is a despicable one. Maybe you feel different on the matter.

Plenty wrong with it. You're a hypocrite. You complain at the slightest generalization or negative comment towards other people, then you go off on a big rant generalizing and putting down Irish people.

I have a very good reason for hating Irish. I've lived here for five years and have seen what you're like. If one or two I've met are arseholes, ok no problem. But when most I meet are pathetic morons with no respect then I can hate them. Irish are like the animals you see everywhere in this country, little filthy sheep. You suit each other.
