Why are you racist?

[Chinese Food52]

Alright, so I have been visiting and posting on totse for some time now, and something i've never really been able to understand is why people are so racist on this site? I mean, I understand racial and cultural jokes because all humour is basically based on cruelity. But for the people who actually hate a whole race of people for simply how they look... i cannot understand this sort of mentality. Do you actually just stereotype people because of their physical appereance without actually knowing them? Why do you hate people that aren't of caucasian heritage? I'm actually curious and hoping for a serious reply, rather then just assuming all racists are uninformed, idiots.

I hope some of you can cure my curiosity. Thanks.

The internet racism largely stems from anonimity (sp?).

I don't hate black people. I just hate niggers, the loud, obnoxious, scummy types. Unfortunately, niggers greatly outnumber decent black people.

No one on totse is really racist, it's just fun to pretend to be as everyone on this website is so retarded. People are always so quick to call troll here but no one ever actually shuts the fuck up and puts anyone on their ignore list when they see obvious racists posts submitted for humor/trolling. Sometimes I wonder, and I am very serious when I say that I think about the possibility that people who actually try and argue with the racialists here are actually sock puppets or this website is some sort of drama rehearsal portal that I was never informed about. That or they really are foolish enough to believe that anything on this website matters.

Being racist is cool on teh interwebs. I think that a vast majority of people do it to be funny, and really aren't racist.

Okay, but from these so called 'niggers'(which i'm guessing are the black people acting like gangstars), how do you know that everyone of them is 'scum'. Because i know you determine someone a 'nigger' once you see how they dress and how they speak... but you never got to know 9/10 of them... therefor never really knowing if they are good or bad people.

I mean, i'm not black, but am coloured... and have went through racism on both sides(with my so called 'people') and with the people in the west... and everyone always seems to have justification behind their racist logic... but being racist is simply judging someones personality based on how they look. The racist mentality is the same one that is applied to people with long hair as being 'dirty hippies'.

And this is not just between black people and white... i mean, arab, asian, hispanic... you name it. Everyone is so quick to call people 'dirty sandniggers' or spics... and i can't understand why.

I would not be so quick to assume that people are racist because they do not like the superficial appearance of others. That may be true for your average shitman, such as the recent terror in the hearts of white people in the USA simply because they are not willing to look at a black man as their superior, but for actual racialists nothing could be further from the truth. Generally all of the racialists I have met dislike and want to live segregated from other races because of behavioral and cultural differences between them. I really doubt the world has hated Jews since their existence because of their comic noses and their curly hair. White supremacists want to segregate themselves from blacks because of crime rates and things of that matter.

it mostly stems from looking different. sure the change cultural norms and other what-nots' - but it still shapes itself from "being different" than the other race.

and the being different - it comes from the basic fact that not all people are equal. knowing this and the fact that there are "others" who may or may not be equal (maybe even fearfully superior), most racists wish to rise above and become the mighty advantaged rather than the puny disadvantaged. i.e. white person looking for superiority calls the black person a "nigger" to degrade any sense of equality between the two. the opposite could also happen, and works for any race against another race - "that race is inferior to "me" and my "race" because they have..."list of differences" and are therefore worthless."

No it does not you idiot, it stems from negative interaction with other races be it losing a job via affirmative action, getting your cracker ass beat down by a black man with strenf, crime rates, cultural differences be it rap music VS. whatever Asians listen to, being raised by racist parents etc.

I guess I am racist because of the impression that a large number of races give me my opinion of that race.

and where do you think all of these "cultural differences" came from? perhaps from, oh i dunno...maybe the races being, different? or viewed as different by others?
