Some of the comments in this thread make me CRINGE - especially the comment from the internally racist black aspie on the first page, and a few others in this thread.

Why would I despise myself? What reason is there to despise attributes that I have no control over?

I am perfectly content as I am and will not buy into the absurdity that is eurocentrism and post-colonialism. I will not be made to feel ashamed of my physical attributes because some dumbasses insist that I should feel inferior because I am of racial background they deem sub-human.

Ding ding.

I abhor things the white man has done historically.but would another race not have done the same with the same background? E.g. black people had slaves too.

Ultimately, i find far more disdain with the actions of humans than with a specific race

Many detractors tend to cite crime statistics to prove that people who are black/African apparently savages incapable of living in 'civilised' society..

I'm of African descent, so people tend to refer to folks like me as 'savages' or a more derogatory term 'n****rs', there is an unfortunate stereotype that we are all thugs or more inclined to commit crimes.
Which isn't the case because black people are not a monolithic hivemind. :/

Walk back? I don't understand.. As in take back the comment?

But he admitted that he hates himself so much that he's racist against himself. That's internalised racism.

I definitely don't agree with this behavior. Even if people think that way, the problem is, black people aren't going anywhere. Hating black people is not going make things any better. The smartest thing to do is either try to get along or go someplace else and form a monoracial society.

But people of the same race will find differences between each other and then segregate themselves based on those differences.

I can understand your frustration, to a point, because I feel often that I'm pushed into the category of "white person". I see comments about white people being like this, or white people do that. White people are also not a monolithic hivemind.

I see comments that people of all races seem to make, which is essentially "Stop putting me into a box and assuming that all people like me are the same."

I think it's ironic that some people view all black people as being the same, when black Africans have the most genetic variation between themselves out of all the races.

Honestly, people in general really frustrate me.

This is why I treat everyone as a blank canvas, I will observe how they treat others and observe their behaviour also - when the portrait is finished, then I will make my judgements on whether they are good or not. Stereotyping is awfully silly! :lol:

That's a very good way of looking at things. I think I will try visualizing people I don't know as blank canvases, as a way to remind me to avoid stereotyping others.

Hate no race at all. I am an equal opportunity offender regardless of race, sex, creed or anything else for that matter.

I don't hate my own 'race'. Yet I have some doubt or turn-offs towards their culture whenever it doesn't make any sense.

Wouldn't that apply to all of them? I mean they're all stupid and self congratulatory/it's everybody else's fault?

A person of any race can be of any culture, depending on how and where they were raised.

I think a lot of people tend to confuse race and culture. They dislike a certain culture, then assume that everyone of that race shares the culture they dislike.

I can understand disliking certain aspects of a culture. But yes, no culture is perfect. There is always going to be at least one aspect that is in need of improvement.

The fun thing I like is that I've been to a lot of places. Places where I was the minority and actually stared at because I was one of the few white men there. Try walking into a restaurant that gets silent because everybody (literally) stopped and stared. Then you get the brave ones that want to touch the beard or hair. And the children are either fascinated or cry. And, try that when you've got social phobias as well.
And, there are many times that race and culture are completely intertwined. It is changing as the world gets much smaller/interconnected, but it is still there.
I don't think it's the cultures that really need to change (other than non-acceptance or xenophobia), but the people themselves. The people doing the executions are not doing it for religion. They are using that as an excuse so they can be as animalistic as they desire. Nobody cuts a head off with a knife unless they like it.
And we need to stop hiding behind the need to change words because they may be 'hurtful'. Race is one of them.
It can be used improperly (studies in the past that tried to say one race was inferior because of skull size and other crap like that) or it can be used properly as a word to define morphological changes in racial types. If it didn't exist, anthropologists would not be able to identify remains from bone structure alone. Age, race, sexual structures, etc.
And, as somebody who sees people as basically flesh machines that I cannot fathom, race or anything else does not matter to me.

I like Asian food, but I'm afraid to go in to our Asian food store. I tried to go once, but only saw older Asian women there. I felt self-conscious so I went home.

Once I went to an Indian food store and was stared at and watched the entire time. I felt really weird so I left.

I just don't like to be stared at or be called attention to. It's really distracting. The ones that are used to having white people shop there are ok.

My ideal shopping experience is to be ignored and left alone.
