I had a friend from work that I went on a date with once. At one point during a conversation, they just straight up said, "You know, I don't like White people."
It was kind of baffling and I had to do a double take because it came the fuck out of nowhere. They went on, "I just don't trust them.", "Wouldn't care if they all suddenly disappeared," etc.

After that night, I found myself distancing my relationship with that person until I just straight up stopped associating with them, even at work. Stuff like that really do make me uncomfortable even if it's not aimed at people like me.

Saying racist things, to me, is about the equivalent of putting your feet up on somebody's coffee table. It's like, come on...don't do that...sure...but in the grand scheme of things, is it really worth getting that upset over?


If someone is actually spouting racist beliefs, yes that is something to get upset about.


Why? What does that accomplish?


I don't think you sincerely don't know why this would be a problem.

I'm pretty sure fenderbender just clicks random topics, notices how heavily one-sided discussions are, and tries to post the most insanely contrarian thing

Like I said in another topic 5 minutes ago, the man is dedicated to his craft

I even know a guy who used to be into white supremacy. He was a good guy, though. Legit. He would say things that would make you think he was the shittiest most racist human being alive. Things that would make you think he wanted to kill everyone who wasn't white. But in practice, he was the nicest guy...to everyone. He even had non-white people as friends, and eventually married a non-white.

One day I was riding in his truck with him, and he pulled over to help a family of dark skinned individuals (not sure if Mexican or Indian or what, I can't remember) get their car out of the ditch by tying a rope onto his truck and pulling it out. I said to him "man, I'm surprised you helped those people out, seeing as how they clearly are not white people...", and he said "just because I think white people are better and talk shit about other races doesn't mean I'm going to be a shitty person and treat people like dirt."

The experience and friendship with him really opened up my eyes as to how judgmental I used to be toward people that I classified as 'racist'. Since then, it's been my habit to give everyone the benefit of the doubt before judging.


LMAO what the hell is this shit

Talk is cheap. That's the lesson. People need to stop caring so much about what people say and start caring more about what they do.


Talking isn't 'doing something' now? lol

Typical of socially awkward racist white guys. Asian and black women are their only hope. doesn't make them actual good guys or not racist.

I don't usually agree with fender bender, but there's some truth in some of what he's saying at least from my experience. Which is that racism is such a small deal in like NYC, that everybody says nasty shit all the time to other races and people don't really flinch or care.

At some point you get desensitized and stop caring. Like one of my Hispanic friends walks into the bodegas in the BX, mostly owned by Arabs, all the time and just starts saying fucked up shit. But he's cool with every one of them. And some times they'll even kick back and say something racist back and everyone would just laugh.

I know things are different elsewhere, but I see the point in not judging people too much off these things. If I did, I would have no friends.

for real

i mean, of course it's different if somebody is actually super vehemently racist and plans on taking action or whatever, but if something as relatively innocuous as casual racism unnerves you, then you're just being uptight and, as others have already said, probably no fun to be around

Live in NYC myself, 100% true. Theres so much nuance to ethics of racial speech that people often overlook

It really depends on where you are. I stopped going to an establishment recently because they had a problem with black people. I wouldn't have been too concerned if that area wasn't known for have quite a few people who think that way and take advantage while in groups.

Rape is immoral, though. So is slavery.

Racism isn't?

This is still killing me inside; I talked to one of my friends and I only feel worse for it. I stirred up a bunch of shit and now everyone knows I hate this racist person, but I dont anticipate theyll be leaving any time soon, so its officially A Thing .

Im being unreasonable in expecting swift action from them, but Im too stressed out from other things to have patience for this. I dont want to hang around this detestable trash heap all day every day hoping that she finally says something that crosses the line for them. Im probably too caught up in my morals, but Id rather look like a dick than someone who allows racism in my circle. so much for the tolerant left, I guess.
