Is racism justified? If u remeber the topic abt chinese calling others "kwi"...is that right?

edwardchiu
Tough one. [:)] Some things in life you learn by experience, and one of those is that racial stereotypes are based on fact. But yes, I agree we should keep our differences within the bounds of civility.

Let diff between RACISM and 'racial profiling'. I think people tend to be racist to make themselves feel good. Give them an auro of superiority. (weak ppl) I sometimes tend to. 'Racial Profiling' is okay, i think. This is what edwardchiu will call stereo-typing and, in most cases, it is true.

its not that its ok...its just that it can't be controlled. Who's gonna stop me from thinking "Boy he/she sure is ugly!"? It can't be helped it ur thinking it but when u actually use it to hurt...that's when it's a problem

roger
Yes we can't control peoples' thinking. But the sad thing is we are on the receiving end. [B)] Hello, I am roger, chinese from India. And there I am already been deducted some marks. But to be frank, I tend to think highly of some people from certain countries too. I bet some of you, if not most, will tend to belittle China-men (in Toronto e.g.)
