Okay... I laughed.

actually first-world countries like the United Kingdom and Australia are safer for black men since gun ownership is so low...............
This. It's also much more classist.
yeah, I'm not calling it a big utopia, just a less fatally violent one with ~fucking guns~

I support fuck-guns fully. you can take my fuck-gun from my cold, dead crotch, OBAMA
Why? Why must I be cursed with such a vivid imagination?
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Goddamn right! Goddamn Gypsies!
They are still really racist against Arabic and African people. See Zwelte Pete or whatever that horrible Scandinavian Christmas character
Places that are largely homogeneous.
Like most countries in Asia? Experience has taught me they're all fairly racist.
I admittedly don't know much at all about worldwide racism, I'm just taking dumb shots in the dark here.
He was not open carrying the gun, he had it concealed in his pants and he wielded the gun too.
Even then, many of them aren't as homogenous as they once might've been. We see them that way by grouping everybody as "Asian" but there's actually a diverse pool of ethnicities.
Oh boy. Is this an invitation to educate?
Is it is it is it?
Or would you rather go on not knowing?
My crude wikipedia showed that China was over 90% Han, which is uhhhhhhhhhhh extremely homogeneous. I know China isn't Asia, but it's a huge country.[DOUBLEPOST=1417312239,1417312203][/DOUBLEPOST]
Sure!Oh boy. Is this an invitation to educate?
Is it is it is it?
Or would you rather go on not knowing?
I know that. I just think we're better than that.
Oh, so now you're saying that white people are better'n everyone else?
--Patrick
I don't identify as white or take any pride in my skin color. I don't think I would ever say "we" meaning "white people". In this case, we = humanity
You a white boy, bruh. Any whiter and you'd be mayonnaise. You could easily identify as something - sheltered!

heh, to be fair, it's not about being an asshole, but about instinctual survival mechanism. I understand why people are suspicious about people unlike them. What I don't understand is why people don't want to try to be better than that.
...congratulations?
I didn't say I WASN'T white.
Alright. I will preface this by saying I'm a white woman from Newfoundland, Canada...quite possibly the whitest place in North America. Everything I say is just from a lot of research. I'm a bit of a history nerd. If anyone who is better able to speak wishes to correct me or add something, please do!
Also, I'm kinda tired so this will be sloppy.
With that out the way....
Racism is a dynamic between oppressor and oppressed. There is no such thing as 'reverse racism' BUT there are places where factors beyond skin colour exist. To think that colour of skin is the only way racism works is a very US-centric way of thinking. I understand this thread is about US events but a broader understanding will never hurt.
A good example of white-on-white racism exists in modern England when it comes to the British and the Polish. In Britain assimilation is key. Speak like them and abide by most their customs. The English take issue with Polish immigrants because, in their eyes, they don't assimilate well. There for they are second class, 'nuisances'. If you are East Indian, Chinese or whatever and fit in they couldn't really care less. That is not to say skin colour racism doesn't exist in the UK but, well, they do whole news reports about how the polish and other slavs are ruining the country and stuff. They don't really do that for any other ethnic group.
My driving point is that, in other parts of the world, xenophobia and hostility aren't always driven by an readily apparent outward difference. During the Holocaust not only did the Nazi's (yes, Godwin'd) persecuted and killed the jews but they also starved their captured Soviet territories based on the belief that they were subpar race. There's also the Bosnian Genocide by the Serbians. These groups could come to the US and be seen as 'white' but in their home lands they would have been seen as a lesser race, perfect for being oppressed.
Actually, while on the topic of Russians, they have been very good at oppressing each other through the centuries! Up to the early twentieth century their whole country was based on classism and Serfdom. To say nothing of the Tartars or Cossacks!
Ugh. I'm getting tired. I hate writing long posts. I always peter out near the end. Just like my university essays.
I I could just keep citing examples. I really recommend people wiki it, actually. It's both depressing and interesting the reasons people will use to step over each other, you know?
Good night. Good luck. I think I'm going to have more vodka.
