In my mind, race has absolutely nothing to do with determing your future success. If you try as hard as you can with ur education as a child and stay away from gangs, things will turn out for you. I feel sorry for those who were born into these families, but they can always pay the $5 to get a bus ride into the suburbs or something where they can start brand new if they have to.

I do find it ironic tho how you can have a black college education fund, but if you have a white education fund, ur rasict. Same thing BET(black entertainment television), i bet if someone made a WET channel, theyd be rasisct.

Another thing, if 70% of the people arrested are black, in a city that has a 70% black population, thats not profiling, thats statistical probability.

This is a very important concept because it outlines that everyone in America has the same opportunity to earn a better quality of life. This is why socialism just isn't the answer.

Ever since I've been married to my wife, who's Chinese, I've come to learn that every country has its racist roots against people they're not used to seeing. It works all across the board, and every group, white black chinese japanese native, etc. has a percentage of their population who hate other races.

yeah, its global, every society has an 'in' group and an 'out' groupt, i heard the japanese are not real friendly to immigration from adjacent countries, but hey, look how bad the us treats mexicans in comparison to how they treat canadians, if you go from canada to the us, they hold out t-shirts and flyers, if you come from mexico to canada, and you dont look the right way, theyll point a gun at you.

anyone heard of the minutemen?

I am an American born Chinese. When I was younger I did get lots of names since I was the only Chinese in class. I was different and was ridiculed. It's like Jeku said they were not used to seeing a Chinese kid. Now it isn't so bad since there is a larger population of Chinese kids at school.

Not quite true. I've seen some pretty dumb Asian kids.

sorry to inform you that CHAV strictly means "council house and violent" so i dont know what you're on about when you say there are nice chavs. nice and violent in same sentance? you're probably reffering to "townies" or "rudeboys" who share similar appearence to chavs, but minus the "violent" bit.

just thought i'd like to justify my hate of anti-social analholes.

Let me first point out that the reason why the US is at annoyed with Mexico right now is because of the nonstop illegal immigration. We have no problem with someone who tries to get in our country legally. Secondly, the only reason why it seems like racism still exists in our country is because there's always some paranoid people who cry "racist" every chance they get.

Today in America, especially in places like California, authentic racism is so minuscule that from what I can tell it is barely even a problem anymore. People are so afraid of looking even slightly racist that we are now suffering from reverse discrimination, or discrimination on majority groups. What's going to end up happening over time is a "ping-pong" effect, where racism will never end. Lets try not to let this happen.
