Didn't read to the one who was "disgusted" at white girls having sex with black guys and suggested they stay with their own race?

Very first one: "I really f*cking hate Pakistanian and Indian people."

Scroll down and there's this gem: "I HATE CURRY MUNCHERS...send the dirty little monkey people back."

Don't read much, do you?

Is that racist or bigoted?
 
I think a lot of times it is simply that people know how touchy this subject is, and how often and easily remarks are construed as racist.

I think once the phrase "dirty monkey people" enters the conversation, any line that exists has definitely been crossed.

Of course. I'm just saying that "I'm not a racist, but..." is often spoken by someone who fears that even the mildest criticism that could be construed as race-related, will be taken as proof that he is a racist.

Like, "I'm not a racist, but I think all those darn illegals ought to be sent back to Mexico." This is actually a critique of illegal immigration, but it is not uncommon for opponents of strict immigration control to construe it as racial bigotry.

I'm never one to call being a proponent of immigration controls to be a racist. However, when they start saying "We need to keep out dirty Mexicans" or "America is great because it's populated by white people" well, I tend to think that's a bit different.
 
I take a Lee Emry stand on this issue, after all said and done the end result would be," there is no racial bigotry here, I don't look down on (numerous races mentioned in a derogatory form) "my job here is to weed out all non hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved corp". So you see in my world everyone is green and I am a equal opportunist:)
 
I'm not racist or anything but I think the Dallas Maverick's starting lineup shows black people aren't exactly the greatest at basketball.
 
Trouble ahead.
 
It was rather funny but it was only this past weekend that I was handing-out flyers for a protest at our local City Hall. A young black lady asked me what the flyers were about (stopping the construction of a gas station in a residential area).

I was glad to tell her and pointed out one of the many problems this gas station would bring in an increase in crime.

I live in a predominantly black area (I'm a blue-eyed devil, myself), so it cracked me up when this young lady said, "ya know, I'm not a racist but this is a bad area!"

It'll be a good day when, like on South Park, people find this flag offensive because it involves people hanging another person, not because it shows white folks celebrating a black man's hanging.

funny thing, until I read your comment. I didn't even notice that the hanging guy was black and all the others were white. I just saw a picture of a guy being hung
