Yeah, it's always a minority of the ethnic minority that's being a dick about these sort of things, and usually, there are much larger numbers of people who aren't minorities who make a big deal out of it.DID wrote:Genevieve wrote:Excuse me? Excuse me? A white hole.![]()

thats pissed me off so much. fucking stupid over sensitive bastard.
i think as honkys should start taking major offence every time someone says the word white.
can i just add that this thread is in no way saying anything bad about any ethnic minority, just the over sensitivity of a select few individuals and the government being such a little bitch about it
I live in the Netherlands and most minorities here don't care about such subtle things that may be perceived as racism if you try really hard but really aren't (I actually am a cultural minority since I'm half Greek), it's the worthless politicians who try to get on a moral high horse and then make an issue out of it.
It does more harm than well. There's an "anti-discrimination law" in this country, and it has backfired a lot more than it has actually HELPED cultural relationships. At least 30% of all students at my previous school had to be minorities, so a lot of non-minorities were declined to keep the number right, which, when it comes down to it, is discrimination against majorities. But for some reason that's ok.
Or minorities getting away with things that majorities don't. It's really bad in some parts of the country and it sadly turns some people to nationalistic parties such as The "Freedom" Party.
People really don't get it.
It is BAD when the government sees in colors. A person should be judged for his or her actions, not culture, not upbringing, not appearance, not skin-color, but actions. It IS bad when the government makes exceptions for minorities, because THAT is discrimination against majorities and it tenses up racial relations. It IS bad when the government refuses to let people live in this country for having a certain religious or racial background because it reduces people's individual freedoms to live the life they want without harming others or their rights.
I am actually against anti-discrimination laws. I personally would never discriminate against people, ever. But who is some dude in the government to say who can or can't shop in some racist bigot's store? I mean, if some racist ass motherfucker doesn't want Middle Easterners in his or her store, for whatever reason, that sucks, but who am I to say who that store owner can or can't refuse, anyway? It's his/her store, not mine. The store owner would only be losing customers so who gives a shit?
Of course, everyone just wants to increase the size of the government. "The government fucked up, so the answer to that problem is MORE government". BAAH.[/url]
