Wow. Just wow.

Go fuck yourself Polaris.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Have you spent much times with minorities?

My nephews are "minorities".
Any discrimination, positive or negative, is racist. My nephews skin colour doesn't matter to me. I won't treat them any better or any worse than I would if they were white.
Making fun of difference is fine, its a celebration of the many forms life takes if anything but encouraging a set of double-standards that elevates one above the rest is unacceptable.
In short, its people like you which are the reason my nephews will be subjected to this discrimination by others of different ethnic backgrounds. As will I and everyone else here.

The school and teachers would in no way push for other students to join...(only the students/parents would be able to make the choice on their own) and the prayer time would only be offered during their recess or break period thereby not actually taking time away from actual education.

I would have nothing against such a system.

Unfortunately that is as far as our agreement goes in this thread; the rest of what you've said has been undeniably racist. Why you even had to bring up racism is quite beyond me; you've ruined what could have otherwise been a nice discussion between people of differing viewpoints.

Why do I feel a deja vu?

You're pulling this from your ass.

Because some other asshole like myself probably did the same thing in the past.

Please. Point out how horrible I've been. Is it because I suggested all prayer groups be gathered outside of school hours or that if a Muslim student wants to pray, s/he should excuse themselves and not disrupt the class to do their private religious practices?

Or is it because I was the person who called you out on your ridiculous racism?

The former. Pushing the beliefs of others away is no better than telling a homosexual they must do what straight people do only in private. Both are about expression and I will be damned if I ever live in a society that prevents either of those two expressions.

You have not replied to my statement.
Tell me, should I encourage my nephews to call me a cracker? Is that their birth-right? Should I teach them they are better than me solely because they were born a different colour? Or would it be better to teach them that I am their uncle, a human being and deserving of the same respect regardless of my skin colour?
Which do you think is the better lesson? Which do you think would produce a fair-minded, decent human being?

If you haven't a decent answer feel free to shut the fuck up.
