Haha, I hate that kind of school too, but not because of the acquisition of knowledge. I also don't think that Asians were the worst. I was saying that SEA (south-east Asian) females, were the most interesting to me, out of all the females of the world. Has nothing to do with any judgement of their character from a racial standpoint, like they are serial-killers or whatever. But to be honest, people are "the worst" everywhere, in every culture, across all regions, throughout all time. It's just part of the human condition.


Yeah, okay *doesn'treallygetit*

Currently, I am writing an essay for my best friend, and the articles I am reading for it make my stomach turn.

Do people honestly believe that white people are terrible and can never suffer from racism because they are white? Like, really? What makes these people think they are so special to be the only ones affected by racism? And they completely exclude Middle Easterners, which definitely have to deal with a butt ton of racism.

I guess most people think that way because they have actual experience that way. And I guess you feel the way you're feeling because of the experience that you had. Ultimately, people who care more about themselves will only look at the world from their own perspective. Of course, the combatant to this way of thinking is to care about other people just as much as yourself, and therefore see the world from a more complete view. Then, and perhaps only then, can we see that each person suffers through varying degrees of unreasonable hatred due to both things that they can control, and things that they can't.

It's sad, but without Love and Knowledge I don't expect this problem to ever go away anytime soon.

I care about all of those affected by racism, which largely includes whites. If that's "racist" of me, then so be it. I'll be deemed a racist if that's what it takes to work towards racial equality.

Racist is putting a certain race above other -- disregarding the actual individuals and their personal characteristics and being concerned more primarily with the generalizations of the cultural group, or genetic phenotype, they were born with. If you only care for "whites" then you will not ever reach racial equality. You have to care for all people who are affected, indiscriminately, not just people with a certain tone of skin.

Don't start from a point of bitterness and hatred towards people who have wronged you or "your kind" (or however else you think about it). Instead, start from a point of Love for those who have suffered the injustices and evils of mankind as a whole. A Mindset of Love is much stronger, beneficial and influential than that of Hatred. But that's probably in part why it's so hard to find nowadays, isn't it?

I said that I care about all of those affected by racism. Do you ever actually read and comprehend what people say?

If that's what you said, then the condition phrase set in the second sentence of my post would make the point held in my first paragraph not apply to you. Read carefully, the only part of my post that was aimed towards you specifically and unwaveringly was my second paragraph.
