Lets go with strictly this definition:

racist
adj 1: based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks"
2: discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion
[syn: antiblack, anti-Semitic, anti-Semite]
n : a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior
to others [syn: racialist]

The rules are if any of this definition applies to you, you are to vote yes. If none apply, vote no. Let's try not to make it more complicated than that.

Is this something you wish to change? Are you OK with this? Do you feel that this is something inherent within you that you cannot change even if you wanted to? Etc.. etc...

Yes to the first two....no to the thrid one, I guess.

Awesome.

Not racist.

If I use any racist remarks then I'm racist?
Lets go with did you intend to be racist when you made the remarks.

What about "my friends are sometimes horribly racist but I'm too weak to have a go at them about it"?

I have no spine :(

EDIT: May have also used racist remarks in the past, again as a lack of spine thing.

Jesus that sounds bad.

Lets go with did you intend to be racist when you made the remarks.

I once had a long arguement about this with a teacher at a conference, I used the remark to be insulting not because I feel that people are any more or less important based on race. He felt that this was still racism while I contended that it was simply the thing that would probably most be most insulting to the other party.

What do you guys think?

If I use any racist remarks then I'm racist?
It doesn't say that. racist remarks is an example of how the adjetive racist can be used.

Yes. :(

Not like it shows though..

If telling and laughing at racist jokes because they’re funny and nobody takes them seriously is considered racist, then I’m a fucking racist.
Luckily, I don’t give a shit about what you or anyone else thinks of me.

What does that have to do with anything?
And who the fuck is Tupac?

I tell the odd joke wouldn't say its racist though (but can be if it goes to far)

So no I wouldn’t say so

I'm not a racist. I'm a culturist. While I believe that most cultures are equal, I find that I prefer some cultures to others, for instance, I don't care for rap or mariachi music, this is not a statement of superiority, but of difference.

I do believe some cultures are better than others. A culture that refuses even basic necessities to a segment of the population (for instance the Taliban's stance on women) is a "bad" culture. This is not a statement of difference, but of superiority.

I am an American, I believe in equal opportunity and equality before the law. I don't believe this should be affected by ethnicity, gender or gender preference.

Are you a racist if you dislike a religion and its teachings? If so, I suppose I am racist, but I certainly hope not.

What does that have to do with anything?

A diehard fan of the Insane Clown Posse. Known for their lack of self control and poor typing ability. And their highly persuasive debate technique: constantly call anyone who doesn't agree with them a faggot in ALLCAPS.

oddly enough could American exceptionalism be classed as racist?

No hes not. Tupac was international. Not that it would matter because the sub-rock-man in question is an American.

Is it racist if I make racist jokes sometimes? One like:

What's white and eight inches long?
Nothing. ;)

I don't know. Being one of the only white families in a mostly black neighborhood, I see a lot of stereotypes, but then again it could be that most of my neighbors don't have much money, if it was a "white neighborhood" I guess I would see more "white trash".

I have on occasion laughed at some race inspired jokes, but most of them are not funny and some of them just make me feel dirty even hearing.

I'm gonna go with No.

Semi-on topic, a few of my neighbors seem to be racist (although it's not "PC" to mention since they are in the minority)

I know on the 4th of July we had a block party and I helped cook some food and played some games with the kids, and other than the weird looks (which I try not to assume about) I had 2 kids ask me if I hated black people, and one full grown woman say "what the hell are you doing here? are you from the press? we don't need your white ass in our neighborhood" which made me more than a little uncomfortable, especially since my kids were there to hear it. One of my neighbors trying to make things "okay" said "she's not white, she's just really really pale, we thought she could use more sun, so we invited her to eat with us" it was kinda funny, but in the back of my mind I was like "I am white damn it! live with it!!"

I don't consider that racist. There are a lot of off-color things I don't consider racist. In my opinion, intention is everything when it comes to racism. But if you go by the mantra, "I hate whites" and the only funny joke you've ever heard was that one: yeah, you're a racist.

I'm not racist because I know how bad it hurts when attacked. So now if someone makes a racist comment I just look at them and if worth arguing with list everything I do which makes me not fit in with their stereotype ( plus it helps my firends dad is a quick phone call away and he is huge plus he takes his golf clubs everywhere:p )

So? You have never heard the legend of Biggie and Tupac ever?
No?

I prefer to discriminate against the human race as a whole, making occasional exeptions, there realy dosn't seem much point in going further than that because frankly people of every race and religion are just as worthless as each other.

No?
*sigh*

Yes.

Yes, a biological racist. Count Gobineau is my role model, so to say.

The concept of discrimination against the whole human race strikes me as a weird one. Universal nihilistic hatred I would understand, but why use the word 'discrimination'? I always thought that the concept behind it is favouring something over something else.

By the way, the Insane Clown Posse themselves (and their road crew) are extremely nice, polite, well spoken and helpful people, who KNEW that their act (which at the time I met them included spraying many many gallons of soda all over the place) was a pain in the ass so they went out of their way to make it easier for us and to clean up after themselves, and were very considerate about the whole thing. Go figure.

YES.
I see no point in getting into which part o the definition applies--simply that it does in some fashion.

It is indeed something I work to change.

I am however "ok" with it, as I believe the apprehension towards to the unfamiliar is natural my desire to change my particular line of thinking is that as humans we can use rational thought and do not require such an instinct any longer.

No, I do not believe that prejudicial thinking is unchangable in anyone, and I am often able to act and think beyond this particular short coming inspite of myself.

Finally though this is not a question, I feel no shame in being a racist.
I merely feel it is not productive so I do not wish to remain as such.
I also find that those who would normally be subject to my racism tend to demonstrate a large amount of respect for my honesty--and also tend to admit a touch o racist thinking themselves--we admit we think this way openly and move past easily.

Anyway, I hope I dont get slammed.

kind of.

It is very strange that religion is put into the same category as race. A person's race is determined by genetics and is unchangeable and thus not criticizable while a person's religion is determined by education and choice and is very much criticizable.

Chalk it up to the evolution of words. Though I wouldn't be so quick to say that religion is always a choice. It has as much to do with upbringing and environment as anything else.

I'd also like to say that judging from this poll, I'm the proud father of at least two children. I'm off to get some cigars.

As I said religion is a question of education and choice. Upbringing and environment is what educates you. And at one point in your life you should be grown up enough to make the choice if you stick to the/a religion or not. You can change religion just as you wish to. Religion is in no way comparable to race.

I jus read this as "Are you a pacifist?" rofl

No. Racists piss me off.

No. Racists piss me off.
Only those who flont it, I hope.

Everyone's a little bit racist...or at least Avenue Q says so :p

I have my predjudices sure (stupid people make me angry), but racism isn't among them. I saw a documentary a while back about the heritage front in canada (White supremacist nazi types) and when one of them was getting a nazi tatoo and saying "They can lock me up but they can't get these out" I felt like finding the guy and proving him wrong with a sander.

Hmmmm, Maybe I'm predjudiced against racists. Ah well, I can live with that.

most people basic reaction to such question is an automatic no

mainly because being seen as "racist" has been frowned upon and most people are taught that only rednecks, republicans, and satan himself are racist. people see it as pure evil to be racist and will never fess up to having a "racist" thought

It would be placed of this way:

- Yes, because I never dated nor would marry a black woman.

- No, because I do not consider any race superior or inferior to another one. They are only different.

Edit: No problems with any religion.

LOL, I voted yes by accident. :mad:

I can't be racist. I wouldn't call for the extermination of the human race.

Racism is the lowest, most vile form of collectivism on the planet. It has no place in a civilized society; people should be judged on their merits as individuals rather than by their ancestry.

That said, I do sense something of an oversensitivity towards ascribing certain characterstics towards $GROUP. People are so afraid to avoid stereotypes anymore that they categorically refuse to attach nearly any adjectives towards any group of people that might happen to share a racial, sexual, or ideological bond. It's almost to the point now where you can't say "Black people are black."

Well, I really don't believe in races. I just believe we are all humans. Needless to say I've made a racist joke or two, who hasn't?

I am a benevolent racist.

Well, I really don't believe in races.

The Orcs are gonna be pissed.

Now that's an objectivist position that I can support.

Things I don't consider racist:

"I used to go out with a guy who was half-black who totally broke up with me because I'm a fucking loser . . . I just heard myself say that. I'm such a pessimist. He's half-white." Sarah Silverman

Clayton Bigsby: Hey, niggers! Turn that jungle music down! Woogie boogie, ******! Woogie boogie!
Hip-Hop Fan: Did he just call us niggers?... AWESOME!
-Chappelle Show

"Why did the 14-year old Mexican girl end up pregnant? Because her teacher told her to go do an essay' (ése)" Carlos Mencia

Because of the intent, I don't find any of these quotes racist. Though it could be argued by the strict definition in the first post that they are.

I don't know. Being one of the only white families in a mostly black neighborhood, I see a lot of stereotypes, but then again it could be that most of my neighbors don't have much money, if it was a "white neighborhood" I guess I would see more "white trash".

I grew up in a white minority neighborhood. I can count the times on my hand anything like that happened. What I'm trying to say is, that while possible, it is not a rule that being in a minority means instant racism.

No shit. That's why I started my sentence with "lets hope" which wasnt definate and hence speculative.
Also, note that it's not same as being a minority in a neighborhood or being a minority in a country. Most majority non-white countries got tragic human rights records...

Not racist.

Wasn't raised as one, and I don't plan on becoming one anytime soon.

I disagree with definition number 2. Discriminating against or for someone based on race is racism. Discriminating against or for someone based on religious affiliation is religious discrimination, discriminating against or for someone based on sex is sexual discrimination, etc.
You're doing the same damned thing that poiticians do when they include something in legislation that's unrelated to the main issue. It's dishonest at best. It also is an insult to intelligence.

Lets go with strictly this definition:

racist
adj 1: based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks"
2: discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion
[syn: antiblack, anti-Semitic, anti-Semite]
n : a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior
to others [syn: racialist]

The rules are if any of this definition applies to you, you are to vote yes.
Okay then, I'll vote yes, but I object to the definition: criticism of religion (when it's well-founded, and not based on stereotypes) is not racism.

No shit. That's why I started my sentence with "lets hope" which wasnt definate and hence speculative.
Also, note that it's not same as being a minority in a neighborhood or being a minority in a country. Most majority non-white countries got tragic human rights records...
It's true that at the present time the majority of non-white countries have tragic human rights but I don't see that the reason behind that is because they are non-white. But I did look over the speculative part of your post, sorry about that.

Absolutely not. I don't discriminate, don't think my race is superior (an impossibility, as I fit neatly into none), don't make racially offensive remarks, and do not laugh at racist jokes.

If that makes me an evil PC oppressor, so be it.

Hell no, and I don't intend to be one. And anyone thinking their race is superior to any other is just an idiot...

Okay then, I'll vote yes, but I object to the definition: criticism of religion (when it's well-founded, and not based on stereotypes) is not racism.

It did not say criticism, it said discrimination.
