Why isn't it discrimination when people of colour call us crackers.... or honkey...or make fun of the way we "act". Why is it funny then? Seems for black comedians it is a career.... making fun of white people. If a white person were to make fun of the way they walk, talk, act then we would be labelled racists? Why is it different?
While I agree there are still many whites out there that are racist I believe there are just as many people of other nationalities that are the same way. this is a two way street and I don't think in this day and age that we have any advantage over anyone.
Equal opportunity employment, race specific scholarships etc etc. there are PLENTY of people that are not Caucasian that made it through life, went to college, got a great job, without these race specific advantages.
If other races want to be treated as equals then they should be equals. Pointing out their differences and giving them advantages over others does not do that, it only singles them out even more.
Excellent post. I agree.
