It's only racist if you chosse to make it racist. \n\nUnfounded racial hatred is deplorable, but the looney left have reclassified perfectly innocent phrases as racism.

I laughed my ass off when I heard this joke, but it is kind of racist. Just know that I didn't come up with it.\n\nAn african tribesman's wife has a baby one night, and all is well until he comes home and sees the baby is white. The only white guy within a hundred miles is the village doctor. So the next morning, he takes his wife and the baby to confront the doctor. He walks right up to him and says, "Hey, I have ten other kids with this woman and they're all black, except for this one. So why don't you tell me what happened." Well, the doctor knows he's been caught, but he tries to play it off like nothing happened, so he points to a herd of goats and says, "Look there, all those goats over there are white, except for that little black one. It's weird, but these things happen." The tribesman thinks about it for a minute, then takes the doctor aside and says, "All right, I see where you're going with this. I'll drop the whole white baby thing, and you don't tell anyone about the black goat."

What a pun! I know it's not your fault the show is called "The Amazing Race." Some people who have never seen the show may be confused here. lol. \n\nI watched the show but haven't seen this one. So I'm not sure how well they get along. If they were able to say it to the "sistas" faces then it is okay. \n\nIf they say it secretly and laugh that doesn't even necessarily mean it's racist.Maybe it just sounds funny..."sistas." They could be using it to be racist but I can't assume. \n\nAs a black person I honestly don't find anything wrong with other races using the term at all. It all depends on the context in which is was used.

I think racism is classified as any derogatory remark towards a person because of skin color, nationality, or ethnic background. If you discriminate against a person because of their background or make harsh remarks regarding their ethnic background, it is racist.

Absolutely too far. My friend is dating a guy who comes from Gambia and he has said he would prefer to be called Black than the "politically correct" coloured. He says we are all coloured and he would actually prefer to be called nigger than coloured. It's just ridiculous. With the profession that i am in i am always having to be very careful about what i say so as not to upset anyone. Criminals are no longer allowed to be called criminal but offenders. Those in prison are not longer inmates, they, again, are offenders. In my town we were not even allowed to have Santa's grotto and Christmas decorations for fear of sparking racial problems! Instead they were called Holiday Decorations and anual turning on of the Christmas lights had to be called "Holiday Ceremony". We are allowed flags in pubs for St. Georges day but the same pubs were threatened with fines and closure if they put up the St. Georges Cross and did any special event for St. Georges day. Problem is, i am now offended and feel as i am being treated unfairly.But do they listen to a mid twenties, white "middle class" woman? You have got to be joking!\nAnd i have just noticed that one word i used has been starred out even though it is not meant offensively but it context to a conversation!

It's one of the most racist and hateful terms ever invented. Imaging coming to this world, and being hated just because of your brown skin with people trying to deny you the rights that you have as a human being... that is just cruel, and I hope that as long as we have civilized people in this country, we will never deny a baby of the right of having a nationality...

Most 'Pakis' I know are not offended by the term itself because they are smart enough to realise it is just an abbreviation... what tends to offend them is the nasty way in which some racists use the term.

Racism, ethnocentrism.

Unfortunatly yes, and from what I understand it is worse in some areas then others. I was rasied to accept everyone and I am still shocked when I meet people who make racist comments, like my roommate in college was smart but remained a racist because her dad was... It's sad. My aunt is white and married to a black guy, they have a restraunt in North Carolina and due to the racism down there she is struggling with her business. Shes in a black community that doesn't like that shes married to a balck guy. So it goes both ways.  I say, we should all love one another! Discriminate based on actions not race! But hey, not everyone is me...

it sounds like it's only racist if you try really hard to make it be.  But I don't think most people would think it was...unless of course the context of the phrase is in a racial matter.

Not racism, a stereotype. Different word. It is a stereotype to call all Americans racist.\nA very incorrect one, too.

I think anytime you are singling out a persons skin color it is racist.  Everyone is human, we all have red blood, and and a beating heart.

I traveled the world, many times and have spent much time in Africa, and have to say that Africans by far the most racist, bigoted people I have ever encountered, but you like to call it Tribalism" a cute way of referring to the fact that blacks in Africa hate each other more than anybody else, so since you have the most experience, who are we to argue with you.
