Racist comment?

Two co-workers, that I thought I was better friends with, remarked very defensively to a question I asked. 1 of them said it was a racist question. What happened was the 1 guy said he has a father/son relationship with a young boy thru a program. I asked what race the child was out of curiosity. Now I wouldn't ask just anyone this question, but I thought he wouldn't care...guess not, he said it has no relevance and why I asked. I said I thought it might be a worldwide program. And his response was "WOW!"...like I'm fucked up in the head or something. what's your opinion?

Caring about or asking about race is by definition racist isnt it?

No, I think it's called curiosity posed in the form of a question..

Brugman, I think your right. I study Spanish and can read it quite well. I was just trying to get a complete picture of the situation.

When people get offended by curiosity rather than hate in the form of ideology don't feel sorry for your self. The person was just uncomfortable with the situation.

I suppose it depends how you phrased it, but to simply ask about race or culture does not imply any prejudice about it.

Very true, I didn't asked it immediately when he first said it and when he first said "excuse me" to my question, I politely repeated myself. So when I asked "what race is he?" it was those words I said.

WTF, it's a very legitimate and understandable question. Your friends are socially retarded, no offense.
Unless they themselves are black, in case I'm not sure what what political correctness is in that case.
Fuck society is confusing.

Don't you know that as a white male you are supposed to be filled with a deep seated guilt for the atrocities of every "white" person who came before you. Let that be a lesson to you not to ever acknowledge someones genetic heritage ever again.
Bad whit man, that's a very bad white man, now go watch amistad and think about what you did.

lol! These guys are white and are now just co-workers to me. Possibly the influence on thought, may have been a few racist jokes I've told in the past. I believe it was a comment I made to one of their racist jokes which was...
Why don't blacks have dreams? Because the last one who did got shot.
...and I remarked that it wasn't all that funny considering the outcome of that event. So I'm thinking the guy who called me a racist was trying to get even about this..lame!

it's really a valid question because people of all races are enrolled in these programs, when people stop treating everything as politically correct or racism or what ever the whole thing will fade away

I think the kids probably black and he has his own little white guilt complex, but he's filled with a sense of pride that he's doing big brother things for a black kid, and feels like he has to get offended by your question.

I'm very sensitive about racism. Is it racist to ask which race the kid is? No.
Quote:
he said it has no relevance
If it has no relevance, its pointless not to tell. Its like asking does he have red hair. That has no relevance, but theres no reason to make a point of that.
And by the way, if he has "a father/son relationship with a young boy thru a program", race DOES have relevance. Whenever people of different races interact, race to some degree is a factor.
Quote:
I said I thought it might be a worldwide program. And his response was "WOW!"...like I'm fucked up in the head or something
Granted, thats a rather weird thing to say.

my comment was rather weird? Well thinking about those pity commercials and adopting a hungry child, you'd think it's a world-wide program...am I wrong or was that strange to say?
