A. As much a we'd like to believe otherwise, race plays a key role in every facet of our lives. Every race has to deal with prejudices from other races. It's a very personal thing, it's something every human being has to deal with. All you have to do is read the newspaper to see racism is alive and well. We have made a huge deal over our president's race. He's the first black president..oh no wait he's half white...well he's blah,blah,blah. The white media is accused of racism when they speak out against him and the black media is accused of "playing the race card" when they defend him. In South Africa the Boers are suffering a "hushed" genocide now that the tables are turned on them. Some members of the SA media state that it is justified… [cont.]

Is racism a serious issue in Australia? How does Australian society react to it?
Q. Over 432 students and people of Indian origin has been attacked in Australia since May 2009.Australian media has denied that most of these attacks are racially motivated. However nephew of Australian Primere (Mr Kevin Rudd) had organised a protest march urging Australian civic society so come up against racism.How does Australian society look at this issue? What do they think :Is this issue serious or simply Indian media hype?

A. As an Australian, I think it's a lot of media hype. We are a multicultural society and generally don't have a problem with Indians, especially considering our shared Commonwealth heritage. Whenever an Indian suffers violence in Australia, the media flares up with "racially motivated attack". Some incidents may well be just that and would be associated with lower socio-economic classes in Australia being threatened by waves of Indian immigration seeking residency by studying at dodgy business colleges. This is seen as a scam and Indians can be perceived as scammers and quick to pull the racism card. One incident in Griffith involved an Indian man found dead. "Racially motivated attack" turned out to be that he had employed other Indians… [cont.]

What is reverse racism and how does it hurt America?
Q. I am doing a project on reverse racism and I want to know what is it and how it hurts America. What is its position in college admissions, the workplace, and our own government.
Asked by Eman - Tue Apr 20 09:51:19 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I assume you mean where people discriminate against the majority to favor the ethnic minorities. I once heard of a company who were recruiting 4 trainees, and they decided that one would be female, and 2 from ethnic minorities. Of the 100+ applicants there were 3 from ethnic minorities, one female and just over 100 white guys. 66% of the ethnic minorities got a job offer, 100% of the females got a job offer and 1% of the white guys got a job offer. Reverse racism (and sexism) at it's best.

How do you describe racism to your children or grandchildren?
Q. I'm asking because every time a public figure makes racist comments and is subsequently rebuked - posters on this forum tend to think it is much ado about nothing. So - what is your perception of racism and what are you teaching our future adults?
Asked by Frighteningly Sober - Thu Mar 26 07:55:25 2009 - - 15 Answers - 1 Comments
A. My little girl is only 3 so it hasn't really come up yet. We've had some funny things like her pointing out who was black and who was pink on a crowded train and telling me she doesn't like a mixed race girl at nursery because she has 'pointy hair', but on the whole I expect she'll learn from our example to accept all colours and races. Many (white/male) people do not understand the position of relative power they are in when they make or dismiss derogatory jokes. If any child in my household (I have two teenage step-children and their friends come around sometimes) made such a joke they would be told - in no uncertain terms - why that was unacceptable and asked to apologise.

What's the difference between Racism, Prejudice and Stereotyping?
Q. And do you agree that Lee Evans (Pedro and Zoe) are in the same category of stereotyping/racism as Achmed the dead terrorist?
Asked by indigo. - Sat Oct 25 09:46:20 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Racism = The belief that one race (or races) is inherently superior or inferior to others. Prejudice = A judgment or opinion formed beforehand without knowing the facts. Prejudice may be related to race, but it can also be related to many, many other things like age, weight, socio-economic background, or religious group. Stereotype = An oversimplified conception, opinion, or image. Often assumes that one or a few speak for the whole. Racism obviously includes prejudice and stereotypes. But it is possible to be prejudiced without being racist.

Is it racist when white people deny that racism exists?
Q. I have been in many situations where I perceived racism but the white people deny it exists. It's always the same with whites. They claim that we are crying racism. That we are too sensitive. They cannot seem to comprehend that racism still exists today. Is this in itself racism or just ignorance on the part of white?

A. This may sound confusing but even when there is no racism present, the fact that a minority person may suspect racism or be paranoid about racism, is a result of years of systematic racism. So even when something is not racist, the legacy of racism continues. And the fact that you may feel racism when there is none present is actually a result of racism. Get it!?!?

How is combating racism with racism helping abolish it?

A. It doesn't sop racism, simple as that. It is a band aid used to make people feel better but in actuality it hurts those it purports to help. Yes today we have more minorities in the top colleges, but those minorities are not achieving the same level of success as those who got their on merit. A recent study has shown that minorities who got into Harvard Law School, due to quotas, have a much higher failure rate then minorities who go to a less prestigeuos school but got there on merit. So good colleges that don't have the higher standards are producing more successful minority lawyers than those who have manged to get into a school not because of their qulifications but because of a lower standard set by arbitrary quota. By the way… [cont.]

How did the great depression cause racism and class issues?
Q. I am doing an assignment on "To kill a mockingbird" and am stuck on the cultural context. Can someone please tell me how the great depression and civil rights movement caused racism and class issues? cheers!
Asked by RANDOM DUDE - Sun Aug 17 01:24:38 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. During the great depression many whites were lowered down in the class system to where many blacks were during that time. Especially in the south and more rural areas. This causing them a lot of hostility towards one another. Whites hostility was caused by feeling inner anger towards blacks because they were now competing for the same jobs. Blacks hostility was now caused because the whites were now pushing them out of what was then considered "blacks jobs" and leaving them nothing. My grandfather was a tenant farmer in rural alabama and worked alongside blacks in the fields doing manual labor. He said that although they worked together, they didn't really speak to one another any other time than when they were working.

Anyway let's see the best place to start assuming you are going to support the motion. Your opening line should be something like: "I believe that racism is alive in Ireland today and my intention today is to prove it to you all, by showing examples of the day to day existence of racist attitudes." Something like that usually works well. I have then included some websites below to show you where it exists.

What is the Conservative solution for structural racism in the criminal justice system?
Q. Our criminal justice system is broken: minorities make up a disproportionate share of the incarcerated population compared to both crime rates and population.

What is the difference between stereotyping and racism?
Q. If you stereotype someone, is it considered racism? What do you think? And why is it that people always say the "n" word or the "b" word to someone they know & are still cool with it and when someone else says it to them, they get all mad and angry? That's just weird.

A. Stereotyping is a broader category than racism. Racism is a subset of stereotyping. Examples: 1. Women are too interested in money (Stereotype) Jews are too interested in money (Racism) 2. Big men are slow and dumb. (Stereotype) Black men are slow and dumb. (Racism) As you can see the difference is that racism makes a stereotype based on race, religion, or national origin whereas stereotyping can be based on any characteristic. NOTE: Those are just examples. Shame on anyone who thinks those have any reality.

A. It doesn't take 100% of the population to vote for someone to become President. Up to 49% of people who voted, and upto 100% of all people who didn't vote could be racist towards Mixed raced people like Obama. That is a lot of millions of people who could be. Though, obviously, in reality, it won't be anywhere near that. So having a Mixed raced President doesn't strictly accurately indicate the state of racism in the USA.

A. It doesn't take 100% of the population to vote for someone to become President. Up to 49% of people who voted, and upto 100% of all people who didn't vote could be racist towards Mixed raced people like Obama. That is a lot of millions of people who could be.

The initial targets were blacks, whom many whites felt had been warped by wartime experiences. Black workers on the home front had earned respectable wages and expected the… [cont.]

How prevalent is racism in the Democrat party that they have to worry about it until after election day?
Q. I keep seeing questions about race playing a role in the Presidential race. Republicans were not going to vote for Obama anyway, so that only leaves them worrying about their own constituents. So again, How prevalent is racism in the Democrat party that they have to worry about until after election day? Your thoughts? Answer the question asked. Doc I agree on no decent candidates they! Michelob86 I guess 96% voting Democrat wouldn't have anything to do ith that would it?
