Disturbing Tendencies at Agencies

[Fradi]

You cannot be racist against what we call white people, which is a social construct among other things, because white people are oppressing other races. However, yes, I agree that some people will reject us because they immediately see us as oppressors and not as real people, but this isn't the same thing as racism. It's kinda like how some women hate men. You cannot be sexist against men, but there can be an unfair bias.

This is total BS tell that to all the people and their families who were white but different and were killed because of it
It is not about playing games with words. It is about hatred because you are different regardless of what colour or religion that is what racism is.

 

[Fradi]

Not what I said, I said a true racist would never keep genuine friends with someone from the group they discriminate against.

At least not a genuine racist.

Ladies, never stop being selective and never apologize. It's your right.

I'm out - good luck with this.

No that is exactly what you said you said you are not racist because you have a black friend and now you mentioned 4-5 other nationality friends.
You will get tired by the time you mention all of them.
Time to put down the shovel and stop digging.

I don't understand what you're talking about. Who was killed because they were white???
Of course I know that some people who are considered white now were killed in the past because of their religion and how they were considered ethnically different. I'm not stupid. I'm talking about the situation in Canada. Also, note that the people who are white but different who were killed because of it were not considered entirely white at the time.

The racism experienced in Canada is minuscule compared to other parts of the world and people are not dying in health care because of racism they are dying because our health care is piss poor due to decades of governments both federal and provincial miss management
.
They will see you in the emergency at every hospital no matter what colour you are and even if you are not Canadian so that is false , you might die by the time they get to you though.

I did mention the indigenous people they have a legitimate claim to extreme racism.

It's not minuscule at all. The statistics are horrifying. They will see anyone at an ER, but if they decide you are intoxicated when you are having a stroke because of the colour of your skin, you may very well die due to racism. This sort of thing happens so much more often than anyone wants to hear. Yes our healthcare is shit and fuck the government who are fighting to make it worse, but take a trip down pubmed lane and you will find mortality and morbidity vs race and/or gender statistics that are shocking and undeniable.

Hmmm.........

There has to be a power at play if we are going with a certain definition of racism. The oppressed can discriminate but can't be accuse of racism unless they yield the power

Anything else to add after that ?

My black, and Chinese, and Indian, and Filipino, and Algerian friends are an integral part of my life.

What, you have no Native American/Indigenous friend?

You have this strange fixation that only white people can be racist and only white people can hate and be horrendous to other races.
You really should learn a bit of history and get out in the world.
I am not surprised you don’t understand what I am talking about.
You have probably never been outside Canada or North America.

Let's not forget about Canada's genocidal past and how indigenous people get treated here. Also we had slavery in Canada too, and people pretend that wasn't a thing here.

I never said that only white people can be racist. I've witnessed people of other races be racist. I just said you can't be racist to white people in North America. And yes I have been outside of Canada and North America. Many times. I know that in some countries white people get discriminated against, but learn a bit about history of colonialism and how Europeans and then North Americans fucked up a lot of countries. You underestimate me. I respect you and think you're a very intelligent and kind person, but don't underestimate me.

Yes I know of this. Don't talk about me as if I wasn't there.
I am a very sweet and lenient person, but one thing that gets me really angry is having my intelligence and knowledge insulted. Don't underestimate me.

I just asked my black friend if I'm racist. He said no.
I'll believe him, even if I'm racist. He's my exception lol.
I'm starting to understand why most escorts dispise merbians. Kinda like debate club with 12 to 65 year olds and even greater gap in healthy intellect and perspective.
Not talking about the Indies constantly on this board.

It is very minuscule compared to the rest of the world and that is what I was comparing it to, simple mathematics lol. Canada has 38- 40 million population how many died because of racism in health care or in total because of racism.
You want to compare that to just a small little part called Gaza.
Most people should be so lucky to live here in Canada, racism here is alive for sure but nothing compared to the rest of the world.

 

[EagerBeaver]

I just said you can't be racist to white people in North America.

I posted an example of it earlier in the thread. All the white guys who didn't get scholarship offers for the 30 years John Thompson coached Georgetown and recruited exclusively black players in order to promote opportunities for them, but not white guys. Post 205 FYI

This isn't racism, it's a way to give opportunities to people who normally wouldn't get them because of oppression. I'm sorry that the white dudes didn't get the scholarship. lol.

 

[Toto beefcake]

So basically they didnt earn it. A certain group of people were discriminated upon because of the color of their skin. Has nothing to do with opportunity.

 

[Lunaseraphim]

Honestly I think this thread should be closed because it's clearly causing very intense reactions and emotions in people, myself included.
