    Not really. If a post is stupid I'll call it out.

    You should have started off your thread, "I feel uncomfortable around other races/ethnicities."

    I like other races and ethnicities. I like to travel. I don't like the hassle of traveling but I do like to go meet different people and see different things. I would find life excruciatingly boring if all I did was hang out with people that are just like me. I've met people from other cultures and they have been very warm and welcoming. Frankly meeting girls from different cultures is great. There is plenty of stuff to talk about. Things that are fairly mundane to girls that grew up on your block are new and interesting to foreign girls. If you can't have a solid two hour conversation with a pretty foreign girl you are brain dead.

    I thought it was self evident. They are white and Jewish, and they mostly hang out with other white Jews while shouting DIVERSITY. They are hypocrites. Also, BTW, they are social justice Democrats who don't like paying taxes and shelter as much of their wealth as possible, like every other rich democrat I have ever known. Hypocrisy is the "and?".

    So? Let them be friends with whomever they want to be friends with. Race means nothing to me.

    I don't give a hang who they choose as friends, just don't be preaching multicultural bilge for everyone but yourself. I sincerely would not care if they hate all other religions or ethnicities just lose the stupid bumper sticker on your gas guzzler and stop pretending you are inclusive because you aren't. YOU as in THEM, obviously.

    It's not the choice of friends that makes them able to accept diversity. It's that they'll work with other people, regardless of race, and not care. I don't have many black friends, but I don't mind hanging around them. Same thing for Jewish, Hindu, Hispanic, everyone.

    I don't feel uncomfortable around anyone; so, why would I post that? But please, continue to presume to know me. You obviously missed the point of the whole rest of the discussion. I am not other people. I only understand how other people think and what other people think out of context. I would rather people feel comfortably honest around me and free to tell me what they think or to (*)(*)(*)(*) off (which you have essentially done with your small minded statement).

    Go on and tell me why I am stupid if it satisfies your troll quota for the day. I will just continue to think that someone is grumpy.

    As to the second, I don't need you to prove to me that you're not a closet racist. I don't care. Next, you're going to tell me about all your purple, orange, or green friends because I'm supposed to defend myself by talking about how I am more diverse than you. Unfortunately, I like to stay on topic.

    Please, continue. Tell me more about how you have yellow friends.

    Do you people NOT own a dictionary??? Racist does not mean you like hanging out or feel comfortable with your own culture. It means you think your skin color is superior to all others. Geez...

    I'm getting the feeling you have a particular kind of conversation often... I wonder why?

    Yeah, but this implies that everyone else can't do this. Which is dishonest and untrue. I think the hypocrisy Leatherface is pointing out is important to note because it illustrates a very obvious rift between the rhetoric and the actions.

    Trolls are just predictable. Although, I'm not exactly sure what you'd be accusing me of here.

    Remember, I'm not the one who felt the need to tell everyone about how diverse I am. What are you trying to prove? (Yeah, I can play your silly little game too)

    Minorities make up__% of the prison population, not including the legal illegals. Did Obama mention what we would do about new entries to his amnesty-one-man-rule.

    Answer those, racists.

    If the question is..... Is the initial posters remarks racist. Then No. I don't think it is. And nationalism is not a bad thing either. I just wonder why nationalism is a bad thing only for america. Every other counytry can be nationalistic and it's okay.

    Not necesarily. My best friend is white and I hung out with him a lot. So would you seeing with my best friend be an accurate representation of my friends? No of course not.

    No, that would be changing the topic. I advise you start another thread for your subject of choice. I saw a scary thread that had something to do with Bane coming to America if we kept on putting religion inside of government (I'm not sure how that's accomplished since religion is an idea and government is not a box to put things in)

    I'm an Anglo Saxon Australian. I'm happy and proud to be Australian, I could imagine being anything else. I live in SE Asian and I have Caucasian friends and work colleagues here. I hang out more with my Asian friends than with my Caucasian friends.

    Am I being racist?
    ;) ;) ;)

    I'm playing by the topic of the thread. Explaining where racism really shows in America in a reversal of typical thought, just like your example.

    Wanna talk about racism or Mexicans?

    Well, now we are getting somewhere.I want to know your thoughts on the subject of political correctness when it comes to racial topics. Are we intolerant, overly tolerant, do we see racism where none exists...etc.

    I think I also may not have understood your original post's intent. Care to elaborate on how you connected to that idea?

    The OP is a testament to that.

    I'm not "diverse." 99% of my blood relatives are pretty much one ethnicity.

    Nothing to prove. The facts are self evident... and kind of sad and pathetic.

    Well if it keeps me from having to hear stuff like what is in the OP it can only be a good thing. Right?

    I like this one. I am a big fan of thought experiments and mental jungle gyms.

    Your OP included this "Now, replace the word Hispanic with white."

    I thought you were prepared for racial discussion or somethin.

    I don't find it "racist" at all. Do people even know what "racism" means anymore?

    No, actually, not "racist" in the slightest. Racism entails a belief in the superiority of one's race over another by virtue of inherent racial traits and characteristics. Nowhere was such a belief stated or implied.
