reverse racism, double standards, etc
im sure this will step on some toes, and it may even further bolster my point...
i still dont understand why someone who is of any "race" other than "white" can make a racial joke or slur, and its funny or forgiven. if a white person makes the same joke, he is a bigot - a bona fide racist.
for example, dave chappelle: the very first show he ever did featured the black white supremacist. he made all the racist jokes about black people that ignorant white supremacists use. in addition, he made jokes about gay people, asians, etc. one particular line went something like "with all that ching chang chong, i cant understand you...go back to your country" -- hey, he's a black comedian. he's just making light of the racism in the country, right? if a white person did something like this, it would be in poor taste, racist, etc.
i could write a book about all the reverse racism other races have toward white people, and how white people's comments and jokes are held under a microscope in comparison. why is THIS okay? how long til it swings full circle and white people are allowed to complain about racism? isnt the basic assumption that all white people MUST be racist a racist assumption in itself?
a couple things here. racism isnt a laughing matter, and i understand plenty of people are legitimately bigoted, and people of all sorts of races get pigeonholed. however, if you scrutinize every little comment and look for hidden meaning and racist hints in every little situation, your life is going to be really depressing.
learn to laugh stuff off and stop being so uptight.
anyways, ive gotta go -- my white hood just finished in the dryer
