Hey you white people

Comment comment by Anonymous on 24 May 2007

There's nothing more cringeworthy then reading a bunch of white guys rambling on about racism. Unless one of you lived in another country as a minority, you have no basis to speak about it. Its real, and at a minimum its hurtful and meanspirted. In worse situations, it deprives qualified people of employment and opportunity. In certain parts of the country, racism can result in bodily harm or death, for no other offense than being different. Philosophize all you want about the issue, you can never understand until you've been a victim.

RE: Hey you white people by LordDilly :: NR8

Question: by what basis do you judge everyone here to be a "white guy?" Other than some pics of the mods and admins, what would give you the idea that the rest of the O-Nerd community is what you described? Hell, I can tell you at least one person who doesn't fit your descriptor as "white." Isn't it racist to assume someones ethnicity solely on the basis of a relatively anonymous web page?

To me, you are being a racist yourself by being prejudice against "White People". You know, people other than "White People" can too be racist. No one denied the existence of racial discrimination. I am curious, what do you think of the discrimination against Muslims after 9/11?
