The Borg Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 An African American in my class has been insulting me and making fun of my name and the way I run. Today I had to grade his paper. When I went to give it back to him he did not touch it at first and then he pulled it from me using two fingers like I had a plague. He seems to mostly talk with African American. Can you guys tell me if he's racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 You're the racist one in this situation. Why would you post something like this? You are discriminating against him and the African-American community, and you are making him feel bad, although he may never see this thread. Let him act the way he wants, and please stop being racist against African-Americans. I have many AA friends, and they are extremely nice, and I would like it if racism were to stop in the world. Maybe you sneezed earlier and he thought you had Swine Flu. It's simple logic to avoid someone with a disease that could potentially be fatal. So he carefully made sure that he didn't get the disease. And because he is making fun of your name, you can make fun of his. It's a friendly gesture. You are perceiving this all the wrong way, and you are the racist in this scenario. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
έκλειψη Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Just go up to him and say, "Sup, my niggah!" I mean, I've gotten the ***** beat of of me testing this method, but... No, Just kidding. Don't worry about it. SERIOUSLY; HE'S BLACK. HIS ARGUMENT IS INVALID. ... *Inb4beingflamed* EDIT: Yeah... Let's not get banned. Look, if you think someone is racist, just ignore them... Unless you live in Poland. Too soon? Point is, people might not always like you, but don't let if put you down.

The Borg Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I am not racist though. Some of my best friends are African American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Maybe you aren't racist, but you are discriminating against this poor, innocent kid. You need to understand his views from his perspective before you can make a judgement about him. If you knew someone was sick, would you want to be in contact with them? No. And maybe he doesn't fit in very well, so he makes fun of you hoping you guys can be really tight friends. He probably doesn't mean harm. Give him a damn chance.

The Borg Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Also I did not sneeze or cough. And these insults have occurred for a few weeks now.This is the second semester so far. He's been doing mean things to me more than what I mentioned. Plus I only have him in one class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Again, he probably doesn't know how to fit in and wants to be friends with you. At least give him a chance. And if he continues to be a bastard to you, then you can ignore him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

έκλειψη Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I gotta say I disagree with Dark on this one. In fact, you should create a clique just to make this kid's life WORSE.Perhaps joining the local I.K.A branch... I wouldn't try to bond with him. Just ignore him entirely, and if he wants to be friends, he'll learn to respect you more. You ARE the superior, after all... ... I meant superior by not insulting him...?

jomeister Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I hate people that are so busy trying not to be racist to Mexicans and black people that they are racist to everyone else.....I mean they need to not be so closed-minded.

The Borg Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I am best friends with people from most major minorities. African Americans, Koreans, and Chinese are some of the backgrounds other than caucasian that my best friend are. Also there are only a couple mexicans in the whole school sadly.

The Borg Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 I am open minded but this kid is a bully to me and no one else. It seems like I am the only non-African American he speaks too. Plus I pass him in the halls 10 times a day. Why doesn't he say hi if he wants to be friendly with me!

Lemniscate Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 "Someone insulted me, I think he's racist."Seriously, someone insulting you is not a good enough reason to think he's racist.Does he insult other people?If yes, are they all white?From that point, then your determinations might make sense, but now, there's no reason to suspect that.

Twig Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 He's not being racist. He's making fun of you in a different way(non-racial way). Either way, he's being mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Berserker- Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 Bullies have existed in most schools with one or more races. He doesn't like you, Ok. Just because you are of a different race makes him racist. You are a bit racist for thinking of him being racist just for that. Is he annoying all other people of your race? Is he annoying all other people not of his race? What's your name? How do you run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Borg Posted January 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 The only person he bullies is me because he sits surrounded by African Americans. He's always nice to them and explain the plague act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmc1234 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 When you said he talks like most african-amercians did you mean like instead of saying "Hello, my freind. Whats up?" He says "Oh! whaz up doug, what be crakin in yo hood. Chea!!!!!!!" ? If so then that kinda makes you a tad racist but whatever. Sounds like he is being a douche more then anything.
