Quote:We had that asshole a few weeks back saying that minorities cannot be racist. Was he being dishonest, or simply stupid?True story, but while every race can be racist, I'm not particularly worried about racist statements about whites because I know they'll never impact politics, in fact, there's no political party that has, as an ideology, to kick out everyone who isn't white (at least a party that has minimal credit)... Usually racism is a reference to discrimination against people of colour because they are the minority in the west (for now) and it's far more common; everyone can be racist, anyone, but not all racist behaviour impacts social institutions equally.
Seriously, Gawdzilla has a point: if you're saying "x race cannot be y quality", you're talking out of your ass. FNM made an overbroad, unnuanced statement.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
