Evidently.Apparent having a discussion about what things are racist is racist.Here we go again.Started in the CDZ in an effort to keep name-calling to a minimum. I'm sure we can all do that.
Quick background: I'm of mixed race (half Hispanic half European), my wife is also of mixed race, as are (obviously) our beautiful children. Our Christmastime family photos put any Celebrate Diversity! poster to shame, from Spanish & Mexican to Japanese to Nigerian. Not a full-bloody whitey amongst us.
Perhaps as a result, I take the terms "racist" and "racism" very seriously, and it saddens me to see the way the terms have been diluted and trivialized by people who feel they gain advantage by spraying them around like water.
So let's see where we stand. Please identify all terms you would normally feel are racist, and please comment, thanks.
For the record, I picked #6 and #7. I think #5 is borderline, and would depend on the situation.

Your poll is meaningless and irrelevant. All it proves is that YOU are racist for seeing yourself and others in terms of race! None of the above are intrinsically racist on their own without there being more info about the reasons why they think that. Barring that, they are nothing more than observations------ we are all free to like and dislike ANY ONE WE WANT for any reason, no input from you needed.
Maybe read through the thread.

What a weird thread. Two people now who completely missed the point.
