Yes, because we're a post-racial society.
Yes... We are... And people keep forgetting that, because it would seem that the less actual racism we get, the more idiots feel the need to victimize themself and try to blame their problems on stuff that happened generations ago. *cough cough* Buzzfeed...
Stop classifying people as "black", "White", "Arabic" whatever - Outside of the conversations relevance.
Start laughing at racist jokes, equally, and don't be so butthurt every time you're offended by something, as that is what racism should be confined to - a fucking joke.
But at the same time.
Are there racist assholes in the world? - Obviously.
Are there racist assholes with power? - Yes, but that is simply a matter of time.
If anything should be targeted, it's the fucking "ghetto-culture" that comes in various forms be it black, white, arabic, etc... That's what is keeping the stereotype alive and before we eliminate that, we're not going to get rid of racism.
It baffles me that the very people that are claiming "racism", are the people who always neglect any crime/murder/action that doesn't concern their particular "race". They cry for justice, yet it's only justice for whatever concerns them.
As a white dude, it annoys me that people all over the world are so fucking concerned about protecting their small groups and classes of people, when ideally we should all be concerned about our general good... Our collective good and not just some kind of group, it's retarded...
As a Scandinavian and an Atheist, I love my culture. Even much of the Christian parts and I'd hate to see my culture change and one of the beautiful things about humanity is that you can travel the world and always see something new. New people, new cultures, new food, new ways this speck of dirts surface is put together.
But to defy and neglect anything that isn't directly related to your particular "group of people" is arrogant and not helping humanity in any way.
This is 2016, people need to grow the fuck up.
