why do you think Black,Pakistani,Asian,Chinese people get discriminated?\n\nI think people get discriminated against because the people doing the discriminating do not know enough about the person or race involved or they have had a bad experience with one or a few people which they project on the entire race.\n\ndo you think that in 4 years England will be 80% ethnic minority n 20% white people?\n\nI think what you mean to say is do you think that in 4 years England will be 80% non white and 20% white.  I don't think the numbers will be that high more like closer to 50% of each.  I think this because just like in the rest of the world people are getting over their prejudices and marrying and having babies with whoever they like.  Mixed babies are non-white.\n\nand why do Pakistani,,Chinese,Asians own more businesses then white people?\n\nI don't think this is true at all.  What I do find is you notice it more than you notice a white store owner.  You don't even give a thought to a white store owner but you notice what your brain thinks is not the "norm"

It's pretentious, I agree. But they do have a point. The idea of a white history month, use of the N word by white people, WET...all would probably be met with a lot of opposition and decried as racist. And there are probably quite a few places where a white person would be severely harmed or killed for using the N word. Granting special privileges to any given group is counterprodutive, in terms of equality. Not that I have anything against black history month or BET.

This is one of those I'll answer, hoping it's an honest question and not a goofy rant.\nWhite people can be discriminated against and it happens all the time, but can't be discriminated against in modern America for racial reasons.\nDiscrimination is NOT disliking another race...\nIt isn't even behaving badly toward those of another race...\nDiscrimination in modern America is institutionalized and has a component of POWER.  History has given whites a 'power' advantage over blacks in this country.  Whether we (as whites) choose to use that advantage or not, IT CONTINUES TO WORK TOWARD OUR FAVOR and gives us institutional and cultural edges.\nDiscrimination is the combination of the racial bias with the use (purposeful or inadvertent) of that cultural power.  Because whites HAVE that cultural power edge, they can't be discriminated AGAINST.\nWhat is frequently referred to as 'reverse discrimination' is -- if we're honest with ourselves -- sour grapes when someone else gets a break that we wish we'd gotten, whether we deserved it or not.\nNo, whites can't be racially discriminated against in modern America.

Well, I havent seen a problem with unequal minority rights in a long time. Im not saying that there arent some racists still out there but the "minority" groups are doing well.  After all have you ever heard of a caucasion college fund???? Probably not. Because that would be racist. But theres nothing wrong with an African American college fund now is there. Now there are plenty of unracial college funds out there as well but still... Oh and I used to live near a reservation and there was this place that was run by the Indians. They would put ads in the local newspaper for job/career opportunities. And then it would say indian preferred at the bottom. Im Irish/Indian and I have no problem with different ethnicities but I have a huge problem with racism and reverse racism.  Oh and in most companies, like the one my dad works at.... There is a mandatory percentage of workers that have to be "minorities" working there. But there is no minority rule for a town where there are fewer whites than blacks. And what about the towns where the white to black ratio is like 99/1. And the "minority demand percentage" is 15%?

quite bad, we are all aware of incidents both national and local which call attention to the continuing racial tensions in our society. To address racism, it seems to me we need to recognize two things: that it exists in a variety of forms, some more subtle and others more obvious; and that there is something we can do about it even if we realize that what we say and the steps we take will not result in an immediate solution to a problem that spans generations. We must, however, confront this issue with the conviction that in some small way we can help to resolve it\n==> visit the sites below to read up more

"especially white" so you are more tolerant of racism coming from other races? Sounds racist to me.

I think there are cases where I have extra privileges for no other reason than I am white.  I also feel grateful for my blessings (being intelligent, healthy, etc).  I know that racism is real and there are many less-privileged people with fewer advantages than I have had.\n\nOn the other hand I don't think racism is the cause of people's problems as often as they think.  I think things are not so cut and dry.  If you want to pick one cause for things being unfair then in my experience, especially in the corporate world, it's not what you know it's who you know.  I've seen it many times: an undeserving person gets a promotion because he knows the boss.  I guess you can't blame people.  Everyone wants to help their own.

Your english is fine. Far better than my spanish.\n\nYes, racism and ignorance is a problem in most countries in the world, including the US.\n\nIs it worse there than others? I don't know, I'm Canadian.\n\nI suspect the problem is more of one of distribution of wealth than simply race. It is a sad truth that even in a world with no racism, its easier for the poor to stay poor and the rich richer. Say you have 3000,000 people who used to be slaves and you free them but give them no money whatsoever. Even if the world is not racist, how likely is it that many generations later those peope are still poorer than those who actually were not put in the said situation? Once you factor in racism, the situation gets worse but, well you know.\n\nObviously there is racism in the US. Is it really the only problem that causes the symptoms one sees? I wonder. If only the world could be a simple place but it isn't. It is not black and white but more grey.

I agree with you bro..... \nI'm not even white and I think that the "race card" is so stupid..... it used to have meaning, and now everybody wants to blame you guys..... for everything.  Don't let stupid people bring you down.

I don't think racial discrimination is as extreme in the UK as it is in other countires, but it is still present. The recent victories of the BNP in local elections is very worrying. People must realise that minorities have just as much a right to be here as the "indigenous" population (as the BNP call them), as most people don't realise that our current population comes from millions of immigrants over history (the Celts, Anglo-saxons, Vikings, Jutes, Normans, the Dutch, Irish, Huguenots to name but a few).\n\nAlot of people who are racist don't even realise they are doing it.

I'm against it. Racism in a "positive" way is still racism. People should be chosen based on qualification, not based on race.

I'm not racist either and I see your point.\n\nImagine if there was a United Causcasian College Fund, imagine how many people would be in an uproar...\n\nI know, I know... not really fair... but it's how the world works.\n\nRace is always an issue and will always be an issue no matter what anyone says or does.

There are no "Barriers" that constitute discrimination. We live in America because we have a right to have our individual liberties to do w/ at will. I do not know of anyone that has been deprived of the right to be anyone & or anything that they choose to be. If there where more Millionaries then Poor people, then there should be no need for poor people.

i agree with you on this subject 100%. i am deffinatly FAR from racist, but you are totally right! if a white person were to shout out im proud to be white than we are looked at as racist. if this racist thing has to do with slavery. many white women/girls were also inslaved during that time. i think everybody shouldd just be happy to be alive than worry about what color their skin is. EVERYBODY is diff. an has their own unique look to them. \n\n-stephanie

I wanted to agree with you until  I read the line about blacks against whites.  If you had said a system problem that discrimates against whites in favor of minorities I would agree, but your saying blacks against whites, and thats a different problem.\n\nWhen a school admits minority students who test worse then white students because they choose to give weight to the person who is a minority, its a bad thing of course.\nWhen the Michigan State police admit black females who score 88% on the test, but require white males to get 97%, thats a problem of course.\n\nBut when a black man chooses to hate white people, for whatever reason, its of course a social ill, but one that isn't reverse discrimination, just a black man who sunk to the level of the racist white man.\n\nI had a coworker who as a child had to run to school so that the staplers white people threw at her wouldnt hit her in the head.  Her brother forever hates white people. She however says a person is a person, and I need to get to know the person before I hate them, cause if I just hate them for the color of their skin, then I am as guilty as the person throwing staplers at me.\n\nI think thats about the most intelligent thing I heard from her.
