• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Everyone's racist

    okay. i'm proposing that these different dispositions to races is an evolutionary trait, though i don't know if this is accurate at all and i'm probably just talking myself into a grave right now. none of your examples seem to really fit this proposal. i guess i should go and research this...

    Everyone's racist

    well we're talking about a psychological and social disposition, rather than drinking milk or something, so i think it is more likely than those given scenarios. after all i believe it is built into us :|a

    Everyone's racist

    i don't follow, could you explain what is wrong with it? edit: except maybe point four (and for the record i don't think any of those lines could be taken to the same conclusion in a very reasonable manner :P)

    Everyone's racist

    i'm not telling it that it's racist, because i will accept that it knows what it's saying (even though i may be skeptical). i'm saying that its belief that not everyone is racist holds about as much water as my belief that most people are racist, because we're basing this on personal experience.

    Everyone's racist

    well, my reasoning is as follows: 1) i am racist. 2) there is no exemplary reason for me to be racist outside of being raised in a mostly white environment during early childhood. 3) it seems to be common that many people are raised in a mostly racially homogenous environment during early...

    Everyone's racist

    well, sorry, i've had too much coffee. what i'm trying to say is that your claim holds about as much water as mine does, so i don't understand why you're criticising me and saying "that's just false" when you have just about as much of an idea as i do about it. i found it silly. and also you...

    what you're doing there is making the inverse generalization.

    rather, you think it's false, and i think it's true. there lies an important distinction.

    well, ok, sorry dictionary.

    Everyone's racist

    i don't know, the term "racism" in itself doesn't necessarily have negative connotations if you just look at the word itself, i suppose if that makes sense. like "misandry", you can tell that is going to be a bad thing. when i think "racism", i typically just think "differing treatment based on...

    Everyone's racist

    okay not really racist in the sense of "this person is white/black/brown/turquoise, so i am going to treat them differently or feel superior" ... more like, "this person is a different color than me, and for some reason i feel i must alter my behavior when interacting with this person"...

    Everyone's racist

    i am admittedly racist and i rather wish i weren't, and always try to suppress these tendencies. i usually do a pretty good job! so yes everyone is racist, and you should listen to opal.
