Isn't generalizing an entire race racist?

I have a question, why don't racists think they're racist? Or, why don't racists hose their racism?

Why are all Irish people so white?

That racist?...

I said race, not culture/heritage/nationality.

So it's ok to make fun of culture/heritage/nationality but not race?

And for the record there are genetic differences between whites just like there are asians or native americans.

No. Culture/heritage/nationality is not race.

For the record I completely agree.

But why is making fun of one ok and not the other?...

Did I say it was OK? Generalizing is a bad practice.

Typically, yes.

But hate (racism) seems to be tied to fear (real or imagined.) Most racism is tied to a fear of something. That's probably the hardest thing for any person to overcome.

On the other hand, some $3it is just true. We're all different. I don't get why people get so butthurt about admitting to it...

ROFL

I agree there are traditions held by different cultures. Or that other countries have MUCH different traffic habits, or customs, or even food. I'm not getting bent about making generalizations in general really. Just making a point. There is plenty of humor in who we are. I laugh at the religious every single day.

The real problem is that he is attributing this behavior SOLEY on race when nothing could be further from the truth.

It is more commonly a practice among disadvantaged socio-economic groups or rebellious youth.

I live in a city where 1.2% of the population is black. I do run into this problem with a lot of black people in a certain part of town, but that is an area of poverty which is predominantly black.

I more often run into young white punks from mostly middle-class or poorer areas, and less often from upper middle-class or richer neighborhoods.

It's being rebellious, apathetic, or cocky.

It's rampant among our youth.

Fair enough.

We emulate the people we identify with.

That isn't always tied to race but it is more often than not.

I'd agree its an expression of that.

But color does make a difference. White kids go uber-redneck, goth/emo, or militant metal.

Black kids go "ghetto."

I guess the biggest difference would be I'd actually speed up if a goth/emo kid was hogging the road...

I don't know where you live, but young white kids are majority wannabe ghetto. Even most "redneck" kids from the town of 5000, I grew up in here in Iowa tend to emulate all the hip hop fashion and music. More popular from more underclass and lower class kids, just the lower class kids have more to be upset about.

Middle-class is a toss up.

Wow is this what people talk about on here?

No.

Mostly it's poop threads and misguided attempts to seek relationship advice...

LMAO so I just googled "black irish people"

The results still only turn up white people
