If you let people affect you like this, you have a bigger problem. Get over it man.. jeez. ~:rolleyes:Quote:
if calling people slaves is your sense of Humor, youve got a very serious problem
If you devote this kind of time to dwelling on what other people say to you, especially jokes, you have some serious self confidence issues.
The only value their words have is the value you place on them.
Words spoken by a man to whom racial humiliation is unfamiliar.
How dare you?
Look at the bright side mia muca, apparently he doesn't care about all that.Quote:

Also I guess that they would find other people getting Stranger into more problems than some crappy jokes...Quote:

True that the great majority "reacts," but not all. Some have learned to think and act, even in such situations; hate does not always beget hate. The great "prophets" that so many of us revere with religious fervor certainly did not advocate responding to hate with hate.
well i actually dont value your words at allQuote:

I know it's hard to ignore racist comments, but if you don't feel you're up to the people making those comments it really is best to talk about it with others and try your best to ignore the racists; rash actions taken in a moment of anger can really cause a lot of problems you might not have foreseen and may be harder to cope with, as I have found to my detriment. Do take care, think before you act.

Look man, you came into this thread acting like a crybaby quite frankly. "Oh no, the mean boys are calling me names.. sympathize with me! Help me!"
Well Im not going to shed crocodile tears over this because its nothing but drama. You dont think we all get ragged on at one point or the other? And to make this even less significant.. they're just joking!
What I have done, however, is give you some damned good advice. A hell of a lot better than "beat them up" or even confronting them. Beating them up is just idiotic(and by the way you act Id be surprised if you even could), and confronting them only shows them how much it bothers you and they will always have something to hold over you.
If you roll with it.. laugh at the funny ones.. and maybe even throw out some of your own jokes (doesnt have to be racial, just pick something about them and tease them about it).. the issue will eventually correct itself.
Im sorry people are saying things you dont like to hear, but that is life. Its not them making you upset, its yourself. If you are proud of who you are, there is nothing they can say that should cause you to run to the internet for support. ~:mecry:
You're a deeply ignorant man.
racist jokes, made by people outside of the race they "joked" on, is most undesirable. Albeit the "punishment" cannot be legally carried out: freedom of speech can be undesirable at some points, but we shouldn't just deny the right because of that.
Inside jokes, on the other hand, like the British example (albeit not racist) in the other thread are not harmful.
I don't think umeu should get over this: his "friends," according to him, are racists. And he has the perfect right to confront them. I don't think "it's not funny" is a good way of confronting them, not after a thousandth time; rather, tell them directly (coarsely, if you wish) that they are racists and demand that they leave you alone. Tell them in public, if you wish; they'd be embarrassed by that.
Punching could help; or could get worse. The better outcome does not worth the violence and the risk. So don't.
And Panzer, you're being a racist apologist. Ignoring them only let the seeds of prejudice grow and the problem escalates.
j/k. ~;p
I think that both sides in this discussion takes the whole issue far to seriously......
I get made fun of for being German-Italian all the time (Axis powers, remember?), if it gets to me, I threaten to rip the guys intestines out and hang him with them, no biggie.
Dairush, racial humiliation unfamiliar? Try going to a heavily black area of the US as a white man. You might as well just draw a target on your forhead.
I get nazi jokes all the time, although I aint a nazi. I just suck it up and give a counterjoke. I even do that with blatant insults like
"Your a Nazi."
PM me if you want the full thing, I can probably post it but I won't take the risk.
Idaho: And you're a deeply insulting man who, in all honesty, takes things too far at many points. Get over it.
erm, if you don't consider race to be scientifically correct, then why bother?
why whine?
people will be stupid and ignorant. I've told people things that are true by the book and they have had the balls to laugh and mock me. Not only will these types of people be ignorant, they will also most likely be incompetent. This goes for racists as well. It's best to just let them be.
Also beating people is against the law last I checked. If you think beating them is going to bring some sort of result, you are just as incompetent as them.
I find it funny that people go berserk when they joke about race but they barely go crazy if someone jokes about them being fat. I can't see the difference really. Plus, most racist jokes are stereotypes and stereotypes are not always true. I would conclude that beating someone is worse than makin' fun of his/her race. Yep....
Being fat is highly likely to be due to lifestyle choice. You don't get a choice who your parents are.

So your friends tease you with your Italian-German heritage? I get teased by my friends for my Persian heritage “All Persians drive Mercedes-Benz”. But I dare say that there is a fine line between playful teasing by friends and being ill treated by strangers because of your skin-colour, religion, and last name.

People (only close friends) mockering with my fats, intentionally photographing my overgrown belly... have merely been an axtra force-motor for getting fitter. Not likely but if someone buggers with my phisiological/phisionomical properties, though, he will be dealt with properly.
I'm not proud with anything that I haven't gained myself. On the contrary, I won't let anybody make fun with anything that I simply have to live with from genesis.

Racist stuff pisses me off,
Now im white, Im not Ashamed of it, and I dont care if people Call me white,
I dont understand why saying the word Black can offend "black" people,
(I really dont think it does and Its just white americans telling us it does)
Other races, Arent really any difrent,
We call japanese people "Jap's" I doubt that is offencive but maby im wrong.
I still recon it shouldnt be, Its just informal short hand.
"having said that, A freind of mine put me firmly in my place 1 day when i happend to say.. "your a jahova right?" (we were talking bout religion)
He took some offence from that, And now i always say jahovas witness.
so it could be offencive i guess..
But back to calling black people black like i origionaly intended to type.
Any 1 with 1/2 a education knows that the 1st humans were black,
"Ever seen a black person with White freckles?"
But look at The wite people, We have Freckles that Show us our origins.
So I really dont beleve in racism as its portrayed to be,
However. I understand There are Some Proper IDIOTS out there Who think They are Great and they are rthe best.
And the only way they can make them selfs feel like that is to single out People Who are difrent.
4 instance.
2 people And 1 Idiot in a room,
1 person is 4 foot 8inches 14 stone. (172lb's or s) and has glasses,
the other person is avarage height build exetera.
Who do you think the idiot will attack?,
"obviously would be the short fat guy with glasses"
Only becous he is diferent.
Idiots like that need to be able to Insult some 1. Otherwize It would probably be them on the receving end.
I imagine its similar with racism. mixed race communitys never used to happen. So when it 1st started There were probably individual familys Mixed in with other races, Majoroty of which were origionaly white.
Its probably just a throw back from Times where difrent raced people Were difrent to every 1 els in the neigbour hood.
And now some people Just refuse to let go.
(id like to say Its their problem, But Not all people Have thick skins, So I guess Its Every 1's problem.)
now I know ive gotten 1 account banned already this month.
But Im a firm belever that Lightning dosent strike twice.
So im going to attempt a joke.
A Black man says to a white man.
When i am born i am black,
When i am young i am black,
When I am ill i am black
When i am old i am black
And when i die I am black...
But you white man...
When you are born you are purple,
When you are young you are white.
When you are ill you are green
When you are old you are gray
and when you Die you are blue.
And you have the nerve to call me coloured!
P.S
Id just Insult him back . Or post Pics of him all over the school doing something terrible.
Noting to malishious.
P.P.S
Hope this dosent come over as racist Cos im not to bad,
And disslike White people the most out of every 1. (and imk white So that cant be racist either "can it")

He doesn't ignore us, he just knows we're really good friends and we don't mean it. Sometimes he even makes jokes about it. If they're really good friends then they're probably just messing with you, like me and my friends do...

theyre not my friends...and my friends would never call me a slave...ofcourse they do laugh when i scream through the class that i had a BLACK out :P and they make similar jokes...and i dont mind those
