I am a whitey from Europe. I have a Mexican Girlfiend since 3 years. Surprise surprise, we are happy together since then, but my point here related to the discussion is, that occasionally we're both making subtle but spicy jokes/references/comments - you name it - regarding our origins and none of us is feeling offended nor starting a ****storm as ITT. Does it prove that we live in pathological racist relationship or we're just mature enough to see our differences and accept them - you tell me.
What bothers me here is that we live in the world full of hypocrisy where people think it's better to be "politically correct" on the outside, pretending to be neutral and tolerant for everything, still being more racist by their actions when noone is looking, than people who occasionally will make a provocative comment or will not be scared to state the obvious, but overall will be tolerant and respectful to everyone as I'm trying to be.
P.s. @z0mgtiltz
Dude I'm a fan of your thread and I admire your work & ethics, but I really think that you crossed the line with your post couple pages back - so I think "grow up" and apologize for it or leave it. Because yet you have here perfect proof - your post was far more offensive and toxic than anything that Meale said.
Peace
The issue is much more nuanced than simply stating "you are racist" or "you are not racist".
I don't think anything productive will come from discussing this subject on the internet with a bunch of strangers, especially since the majority of them have spent little time with any minority group.
Hopefully as a society we continue to learn about each other, grow, and realize we are all humans and have a lot in common.
Now can we get back to poker and workouts.
