Amethyst Phoenix Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 So in alot of topics, I've seen many users accuse others of racism. Funny thing is, 99% of time it is not. Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another Prejudice is making derogatory remarks about something/someone because of their race/lifestyle/etc. So it would appear the majority of those who have itchy trigger fingers for calling racism are guilty of slander. NOTE: I do not condone prejudice or racism. This topic is merely an observation. I just feel it is important to know exactly what accusing someone of before you go through with it. I hope some of you find this explaination of a common misconception interesting/enlightening at least abit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Said derogatory remarks are invariably based in racism, and are racist in character. Splitting hairs over exactly what consists of what just makes you look like a twit - especially if you do it wrong. While we're quibbling over words: on the internet, it is written, making it libel rather than slander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomix Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Why continue this by making a new topic about it? It's like your trying to restart this so called "racism war" which I missed completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Phoenix Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Why continue this by making a new topic about it? It's like your trying to restart this so called "racism war" which I missed completely.It's not continuing anything. There was no "racist war" (as far as I'm aware) >_> So don't accuse me of trying to ignite things long past (especially things that never existed). I'm not some internet idiot that does stupid crap like that. Either way, apparently this topic failed horribly. Which is why I didn't reply, in hope that it would just fade away. And apparently regular users can't delete their own topics now >_> The only useful post here has been crab pointing out it's libel and not slander.

~Emo~ Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Some people are just like that. Its like this 17 year old at my school, Brad, said he was "Raciest to gay people." WTF? Its comments like that which makes people think everyone is raciest. Thats like saying, if you do not like Obama, you are raciest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyhe Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I guess so, I consider myself to belong to 2 national entities (Singapore and Hong Kong) and use that to my advantage of calling others racist for their ignorance and stereotyping towards Singapore or Hong Kong and their peoples.
