Yeah, my vote was for the first one, as you can probably guess.

Brusilov is the main espouser of far-right ideology here. You're mainly remembering the highly negative and mistaking it for common (in psychology, this is known as the availability heuristic).

I am honored.

Yeah, my views have nothing to do with the availabilty heuristic or mistaking a supposed stereotype as being common. People might not want to admit that (gasp) a certain stereotype might just actually be true or that a certain group of people may be responsible for a problem.

After seeing certain threads over time I'm wondering if there is a significant proportion of AS/autistics who hold racist views. Or, to use their language, are very concerned about "preserving white heritage" (and/or "preserving the white race").

Or is there a "silent majority" who thinks/feels otherwise?

I'm imagining controversial views are more common here due to less concern about the social pressures of holding such views, and are probably a more accurate reflection of what society thinks. OTOH, does social difficulty functioning in the world tend to foster such views? Or is that irrelevant? Black & white thinking or empathy a factor? Or extreme views just tending spark a lot of discussion?

I don't care what colour/creed/theology you belong to, as long as you don't be stepping on me or my peeps.

Also what exactly is "white heritage" because yes in Europe we do have quite a long history, but for America and the other European colonies, what exactly does this mean to people?

some "Free" forums end up full of racist discussion/arguments. But it tends to have 'blatant' racists in the minority and most are probably doing it to troll others.

also clicked show me the money (view results). I'm not white so......

I AM A RACIST

I won't say that my race is "better" than yours.

I admire Chinese and Japanese and Indian society.

But I admire Irish folk music, German philosophy, Italian art etc.

I am an Aryan, Teutonic, Indo Eoropean etc.

We invented science, modern medicine, the industrial revolution, the radio, aircraft, computers, etc etc.

I am damned if I will feel ashamed of what we have achieved.

I am a racist. A human racist. I am a human mutt, Hominid Version 4.0, one of the tribe of smart talking apes. We are the baddest, smartest primates in the zoo.

Hey Wombat, i reckon science was only propelled by Europe after they discovered Maths in the middle east, which at the Middle ages, were vastly more advanced than in Europe's.

+10000. Without the extremely advanced cultured of India and the Middle East, Europe would have never left its form of ignorant Christianity and fiefdoms. For all of the unfounded criticisms of Islam that I hear daily, they accomplished alot more than Christians have. Most of the famous Euro scientists were atheists or agnostic. Islam preaches discovery and knowledge. Some hardliner ironically dont understand that. To the poster who posted about poison before, you are judging religious Muslims too negatively and I doubt that you even personally know one...

LOL I love stuff like this, ok lets look at this slowly and logically, piece by piece, bit by painful bit

Just one thing on words like beaners and the N word.

If you're calling your buddies all N***ers and you're black, then I say the same thing then you get mad at me for calling you that who is being racist?

Logically if you call yourself and your friends one, then I mimic that behavior, mimicry is actually a form of respect, after all we dont mimic ret*ds when we are kids, we mimick people like muhammad ali and mike tyson, pros that are really cool, so us copying your lingo is actually a form of respect.

On the other hand you getting mad at me for saying it, why would you be mad? you just said it right? if they say it is because you are white then they are actually being racist towards you.

they call each other a n**gers and they are black, when a white person, even one of their friends, says the same thing they get mad because a white guy said it, in this way blacks are more racist against white people then vice versus.

getting away from slang, the word n****r actually doesnt have any racial implications, its true meaning is someone who does not work, ie-lazy, more white people fit this description from what I see

All in all there really is no difference, in all races/colors/nationalities, there are some winners and A LOT of losers

You are funny. Are you trying to convince blacks of this or yourself?

I think you might need to look up the meaning of racism.

I thought it very clever. Ruveyn believes humans are descended from apes, but are also genetically superior to them...hence human racist...also a play on words, human race...he he...that ruveyn...

"I think the view in option #1 raises some good issues, but SOME people take it too far".

That's my vote.

It seems we're the only race on the planet that's not supposed to take pride in it.
