Lets take the recent Big Brother show in the UK as an example. Where the most renowned Indian actress Shilpa Shetty was racially abused by a chic called Jane Goody. Its not that i stand by Shilpa because she is an Indian, but I am totally against racism. Why are people discriminated. Arent we takin everyone as one?

The sensitivity crap has gotten way out of hand. If certain races want to quit being sterotyped, then quit being a sterotype. Here's an example....There's always a big stink in Myrtle Beach during "Black Bike Week" about the blacks going in resteraunts being annoying, demanding and not tipping the waitresses. Well hell if someone brings this up all the brainless idiot liberals out there try to brand them as a racist. He's not being a racist, hes just stating a fact. The brainless ones out there can't see the difference between racism and facts. But there's a cure for that symptom....Black guys, when you go to myrtle beach, by all means, go there and have a great time.....But when you enter a resteraunt, act civil and for god's sake leave a tip ! That'll shut them up !!!!!

Yes cathy , its really bad that in this revolutionalised and well educated world people still discriminate people based on races . We are all alike , breathe the same oxygen and live on this same world .
I hope things change soon and the world becomes a much better place to live in .

well, we talk racism then we talk history. it's been in history racism happened and it won't be in one minute that thing gone. I think some people in the society still stereotyping people. I don't like this one either but belive me, some still exist. people don't like this type of race, that race and eventhough this is something unwanted in nowadays society, it still exist.

If you are a minority race, somehow or another, people will discriminate you. It always seems that what you do is never good enough in their eyes. Jokes are being made about a certain race. People look down on you. There's always something not right about you. People in the minority race always have to work extra hard to land opportunities and there'll be grey lines pertaining to certain issues and policies. Though it's funny, these very people deny such things from happening.. It's ironc.... People from certain race will always think that they are superior than the other.... It's like that... It's all about our upbringing...

I will tell u an incident that occured while i was travellin with my buddies. It was in a crowded bus, that a man made a labourer get up from his seat because he didnt deserve to sit there but on the floor. This did bug me a lot and to my dismay, i noticed that no one bothered to speak up for him. Ofcourse the labourer was insulted, but my pals and I did make sure he got his seat back, as we fought for him.
U know guys we can make a diff in this world, if we want to
