Do you think the Staff is to strict

[Razor]

Something that has always bugged me, is that fact that EVERY ETHNIC GROUP is allowed to feel proud of themselves except white guys.

Im a white german candian male.

Dude if someone's not letting you be proud of yourself, threaten to make their race extinct.
Problem solved!

[Darkfox]

I don't like black-power or brown-power or girl-power or male pride either. I'd rather everyone take pride in who they are as a person and what they can do than their skin color or chromosome.

And for the record...Dr. King made some undeniable contributions but was hardly a flawless figure. His bio is peppered with plagiarism, racy remarks, infidelity, and violence. The Straight Dope has a page on it, and it can be trusted since Cecil is about as liberal as you can get.

As for the special treatments...Yeah, it's vexing if a black or Hispanic minority gets accepted to a college over me if I'm more qualified. That would chap my hide to be sure. But the bulk of minorities receive no such special treatment, and while I can't really know about the prevalence of this, I'm sure they all have a bit of discrimination to reckon with.

And I'm still waiting for my special treatment.

I understand you perfectly. My friend deathreaper/Xemnas understands this all too well too. I believe very well in treating people based on who they are rather than what they are. Not many would know this but I am a redneck. I have an accent but I've trained myself to use more proper English and deminished my accent considerably. Around here racism is a big thing. And an annoying thing too! Pfft... stupid people.

You know what else sucks? Gay pride.
I'M PRETTY SURE NORMAL GAY PEOPLE DON'T RUN AROUND HALF NAKED LIKE GIANT EXAGGERATED FAGGOTS. Yeah, **** you mardi gras.
We need straight pride.
Big parade with no confetti, boring floats and many couples walking around in business suits and normal people clothes.
THAT'LL SHOW THE GAYS.

[Cerebus]

True.
But normal straight white people don't have pride party. They can't; it would be considered racist/sexist/intolerant/etc.

Holy crap, this is possibly the most articulate charas conversation this year

And it came out of a Trymaker topic too!

You know what's unfair?

If a black guy commit a crime against white people, it's a simple crime.
If a white guy commit a crime against black people, it's racist.
If a black officer shot a white criminal, it's not such a big deal.
If a white guy shoot a black guy, it's racist.

An example of this was when some white officer shot down an immigrant (forgot his nationality) in Montral, some days after, a whole lot of immigrants from there "protested" and began smashing police cars, store windows (as well as robbing the stores) set fire in the streets, etc.
I wonder if the same thing would've happen if it was the other way around. Probably not.

Also, I like how a thread about Charas' staff strictness turned to a discussion about racism and such.

Conversely...

If there's a white serial killer, it's a serial killer.
If there's a black serial killer, it's oh god, more black crime.


My mom heard about the shooting in New York and recalled the V-Tech killer. "What is wrong with Orientals these days?" she asked. I reminded her that most serial killers are white. No one will ever ask what's wrong with white men though. White men are normal, everyone else is different.

When I was younger, my stepmom heard about the Andrea Yates case where she had a bout of postpartum depression and murdered her children. "That's why we can never have a woman president," she said. "Women can just snap like that. They're not stable." I was pretty young at the time, so I didn't remind her that men are responsible for the vast, vast majority of violence, and far many more a dad has offed his kids than a mom. But men are normal, women are different. If a dad murders his kids, that's a tragedy; if a mom murders her kids, it's a tragedy and a trend.

I just calls 'em as I sees 'em.

Ah, but THAT would be racism.
Yeah, I've heard that kind of things too. But from people intolerant toward immigrants and such.

One thing that need not to be forgotten is that even though the racist excuse is over-used, it is still true sometime.

Amazing! Something so deep coming from something so... not... hm...

I know! A lot of stereotypes make no sense at all. Nope... especially when it comes from a race more known for the thing they are accusing the other of. That is grade A irony right there. This goes along the lines of the idiocy that still goes on today, arguing if Jesus was white or black. WHO CARES, most likely he was neither, and I said that and both sides are like "OMG BLASPHEMY STFU!" Idiots...

I'm actually annoyed with this garbage. I should be used to it, but it seems each week they get a bit stupider. When I even try to argue my case with them they just spout unintelligible garbage so I don't even bother with them anymore. All this racial pride stuff is lame...

What about the following case?:

"I killed him because my god hates niggers."

Is it discriminating against his religion to charge him with a hate crime? Yes, it is.

[Grandy]

If a black officer shot a white criminal, it's not such a big deal.

 That's pretty fucked up.

 Around here, if a cop shoots anyone, it's a big deal no matter what.

[SaiKar]

It is the ultimate goal of the forces of good to not only defeat evil but to make some good out of it.

On another note, rape is mostly seen as a male crime. But 1/6 of all rapes are done by females. Many think that this is impossible, because erection is a voluntary response. It is in fact an involuntary response. How you guys likin' my sig?

Not exactly sure what you mean to be honest.

If anyone claim their religion approves killing people of other ethnicities, either they are brainwashed or are completely stupid.

And that would prove how much religions are schnitzel.
Oh wait, that was somewhat a racist comment... oh well.

And even though it might seems discriminating toward this person's religion, it is actually not.
Because a religion that promotes racism would be just... wrong.

That's pretty fucked up.

Yeah, sorry, I meant that it would be seen the same way as if it was a white shooting a white or a black shooting a black.
I explained it very wrongly, my bad.

I have looked through pages of statistics and can safely say that the 1/6 statistic is more than a little wonky.

While female-on-male rape is possible, male rape victims are far more likely to have been raped by another male.

[Cosmos]

It's a matter of opinion, Dedle.

I mean, is it alright for people in China to kill their children because they had too many and prefer boys over girls?

Is it alright to have an entire village stone a 14 year old to death because you THINK she might be having sex? (I watched the video and it was disgusting how her own father and uncle treated her)

Is it okay for certain tribes to eat human flesh?

Is it okay for a man from Africa to come to the US, kidnap a woman, rape her and claim her as her wife? (This supposedly happened, luls)

Is it okay to say Gays are wrong, despite the fact that they've been around since ancient times? (Geek and Roman Gods?)

Is it okay for old greasy men to marry little girls in the Omish world? And sexually abuse them? While marrying MORE little girls?

Is it cool to blow up homes or public locations killing innocent and not so innocent people just to send a message?

Should religions, which speak of peace and love, fight other religions because THEY feel that there should only be one?

I mean, as we continue to advance... we become our own person. Yeah, society will always play a major part in our upbringing but we're no longer following AS blindly as before. People are noticing changes and they either get with the program or try to stick with the old ways. <<
