And with that, there goes any sympathy or benefit of the doubt that I may have had for Admiral Beez.
Glad to be of service.And with that, there goes any sympathy or benefit of the doubt that I may have had for Admiral Beez.
I clearly meant racist/prejudiced WASPs that care about such differences, not every single WASP. And I guarantee you they're out there, railing against all immigrants, anyone with any accent, anyone with an ethnic name, etc.
Sorry. It sounded a lot like you were saying that Jews were particularly "visible" to WASPs as opposed to being visible to members of other ethnic groups. (Which is, of course, not so.)
Can someone explain this "Eyetalian" thing to me?
So is growing up with a certain group what allows them to become the "majority"? As far as I can tell, chinese shops, areas, organizations, etc, still seem to be fairly "distinct".
Black people have been in North America for a very long time, why are they still not considered this way?
As far as I can tell, majority-minority consideration is based on similarity of physical appearance.
Toronto cops are the biggest bunch of racists i have ever seen. Read today's sun picking on toronto taxi drivers.
Claims that Toronto police officers are racist, yet it's these supposed "racist" officers that would not hesitate one second to save the life of someone, regardless of the colour of their skin.
I'm sick of people playing the race card all the time to get what they want.
We all benefit from factors beyond our control. Being born white, born male, of parents who cared enough not to drink, smoke or do drugs while pregnant with us, followed by growing up in poverty or wealth, having enough to eat or not, etc.... We're all each affected by the luck of the draw, those factors beyond our control that sometimes benefit us, and sometimes not. I don't see why you find those who benefited from their race/culture as being "annoying".To me, that's no less different (and annoying) from those who benefitted by the virtue of their race/culture independent of merit.

But then you'd be annoyed with almost everyone, since almost all of us benefit from factors we can't control and without merit, such as our race, height, physical ability, birth parents.I said very clearly - independent of merit. That would make it clear why?
