I agree! Racism is not when you point out that someone has lighter or darker skin than you; it's when you say everyone with red hair and freckles is inferior and people with those qualities are a race. Further discrimination is different than racism and it isn't necessarily bad. For example, let's say I'm putting together a photo shoot to advertise a product and I've only got white people. If I start turning down white people for the shoot am I racist? All of the examples given in this thread are of things that aren't politically correct - which means statements that aren't inert with all people. That doesn't mean they're racist. It reminds me of a study released a few years ago that said that black people have, on average, lower IQs that whites or Asians, with Asians having the highest. That's not racist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:137274 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
