pouihi said: and what's up with that "race" thing??? are we dogs now??? we all belong to same specie, you can say someone has an ethnicity, affirming that we belong to different "races" is the first step for racism
you think it's going to be more acceptable to call a man with a different color of skin a 'breed' of human? I see far more objecting to that
we can kill off a large chunk of various racial groups by eliminating race based medicine if that's what you're moving for...

Denying diversity wont get you anywhere either. There are obvious groups of people visibly similar originating from single areas on the world, and whether or not that can be called a "race" is purely academic.
I have yet to hear a single redneck complain about someones haplotype.

is ethnicity not another way of distinguishing races, what makes it any better, because it's the 'socially acceptable' way of making the distinction, well after a recent discussion I've learned that whites arent considered an ethnicity by the majority which again is all about racism against whites through this exclusionary ideology

there are several white ethnic groups, as there are also several black ethnic groups, people just tend to put everything in the same sac and label it "black"

I don't see anything wrong with calling a white guy a white guy or a black guy a black guy if you're describing somebody. You can't always tell someone's ethnicity by just looking at them.

"this is a place were you can have a laid-back discussion bla bla bla", is this the concept of relaxed??
and you actually are attacking the wrong person, every answer you wrote me you imply I said or meant something that's not even there, trying to make me look some kind of racist.
Prejudice comes from made ideas and very closed minds.

Its hard to know what to say, individual sensitivities vary.
My favorite: I asked a black guy "Is it OK if I call you 'black'?" His response: "Not as a greeting."

At some point you got to say something, you cant just avoid "saying things", that creates taboo and next thing you know you both feel like you're walking in a minefield.

This racist guy IS a manager but does NOT have the power to stop anyone from getting hired. The owner does. idk how you guys started thinking he was the owner..

Race isn't a negative word per-se.. It's just mis-applied to humans.
Akita, Wolfhound, Poodle. They're all Canis domesticus. Eskimo, African, Caucasian. They're all Homo sapiens.

In my experience, it's been managers that hire and fire people, not the owners. Maybe u are at a smaller company?
And they already have united cracka college funds. Its called, everything that we don't try and dedicate to minorities. Without special interest groups, almost all opportunities would continue to go to the majority.
This reverse racism u guys bitch n moan about is just attempting to level the playing field. The only people who think things are equal today are ignorant people. People who don't understand the long lasting impacts of slavery, jim crow, the civil right movement, and the struggle that is still going on.
And I don't like racism coming from any group. But u can't say its the same. Black people do have things to be upset about, tho most of us aren't mad. Many white people are mad at the things they helped create.
People act like blacks have been walking around slanging crack and shooting people all their lives. But that shit didn't start until after the constant terrorism blacks faced from America. So many people who just didn't want to let black people just live their lives and prosper. Finally broke our spirits again, and let us know we will never be accepted here, and now u still wanna complain. Go back to britain.
That's just a rant. I know that our real leaders have used this race issue to control all our poor ignorant asses from the start of this country. I just try and keep my distance from those who haven't realized that yet.

Its "race" in the layman language, any scientist in their right mind won't use that word scientifically because there is not nearly enough difference on the DNA level to have it qualify as race. You might as well call a black bunny and a white bunny different races.
Its "something to call it" with no real basis in science fact.
