You know the California state university system considers Asians to be "white" for admissions
measurements.
I don't have a racist bone in my body.However there are cultures I despise.
and others I don't like so much.
I can't think of a single black culture I respect. .From Rwanda to Chicago they all suck.
I think Han Chinese are about the most racist culture on the earth,
What other country has as their symbol the center of the universe?
My culture isn't that arrogant.
Not even Japanese are that arrogant.
Now that I've pissed everybody off.
Let's all get to work making sure we can all carry guns to protect ourselves
from the freaking government.
Tangential sub-topic alert!
Growing up in the South, there were many, many Blacks in my circle, from K-12, high school band, AFJROTC, and so on.
What I observed is that, as my friends and acquaintances got older, they changed. They only liked associating with their own race outside of work. That applied to Whites as well.
I think desegregating schools may have benefited minorities in that people who would not have the same opportunities at mostly minority-populated schools, but they tended to self-segregate after high school. Look at colleges now setting up Black-only dorms.
I learned early in Social Studies that a "nation" is a collection of people with like race, appearance, language and customs. Nations existed for centuries because humans tend to associate with others with similar characteristics, language and beliefs/values.
Until society quits highlighting race in our laws, entertainment, schools, employment, and so on, race will continue to matter on a societal level. Individually, people are all the same. Some are worth knowing, and the rest should be avoided.
