<p>Of course everyone is racist. It’s human nature, and it’s “okay” (in my opinion, in that everyone has the right to be racist) as long as you don’t allow your internal prejudices to affect others. I’m more sexist than racist though.</p>
<p>People always say no, but I just ask who they would be more comfortable being with on a deserted island, a White guy or a Black guy, and they have to say the first thing that comes to mind.</p>
<p>haha i learned to watch out for the patriarchy over the summer in tass thx to 32flavors. lmao.</p>
<p><em>raises hand</em>
I hate everyone.
I’m racist against the human race.</p>
<p>I think it’s a cultural failing.</p>
<p>Then again, it could be a genetic predisposition, to associate and there for mate with people who are most like you and therefore have the most compatible genes.</p>
<p>If you hate everyone, you don’t really need to worry about anything.</p>
<p>But biologically, wouldn’t you want to marry someone who is ethnically/racially somewhat different from you and diversify your child’s genes, allowing greater potential for survival?</p>
<p>lol. but then there are the predispostions to just be wary of peole who fit a certain look.
im not for all that pairing up with people most like me…well i like crazy people who think like me but there arent any real physical requirements.</p>
<p>not always there are people out there who only want to further their race. i find that your only limiting yourself by doing that but hey.</p>
<p>and this 60 seconds mess is annoying!!!</p>
<p>If that were true, wouldn’t there be more interracial marriage? People seek out other people who are similar in levels of attractiveness, at the very least, and beauty is very unique to each culture, so they’d pick the person most attractive to their own culture, the one that looked like most of the people around them.</p>
<p>It’s also about how you perceive yourself. I’m half Hispanic, half White, but I identify myself as white, even though I look like my name should be Don Juan.</p>
<p>lol omg hudson. which for me brings up those wonderful labels like oreo, coconut, and banana.</p>
<p>hudson: tu hablas espanol?</p>
<p>Inside out oreos… I like Twinky better than banana.</p>
<p>Well, I’m speaking on a purely biological level, not a cultural level.</p>
<p>Maybe this isn’t the best example, but when you look at dogs, they don’t discriminate by color or even breed. Different dogs often mix, and it makes for a better mix of genes and therefore better chances of survival.</p>
<p>i hear wigger more than inside out oreo.</p>
<p>but either way the labels bug me sooo much, like what defines the characteristics of a certain culture or race?</p>
<p>panic: yo hablo espanol un poco. only in Spanish II, probably just made a spanish grammar mistake lol.</p>
<p>Panicpower, the whole point of my post was that I’m pretty much a whitey, so no hablo. Wait, does AP Spanish count? I’m sucking hard right now grade-wise(: </p>
<p>And isn’t ridiculous that culture divides are still mainly based on skin-color?</p>
<p>arent dogs color blind.lol. but you would think that but people just happen to make things work out differently. we are just that wonderful.</p>
<p>This reminds me so much of this weird “human visual aid” thing we once did in my debate class. My group’s term was “banana split” and we had to use the people in the group to represent the word. Of course, our thoughts immediately went to skin color and the two East Asians became the bananas, the white kid the vanilla ice cream, and myself the chocolate…We were pretty tasty-looking. :)</p>
<p>yes yes they are. and hey you could still be slightly fluent. but its our nature to catagorize right?</p>
<p>You can’t separate biology and culture, especially in evolution. People definitely take their culture into consideration when they mate. Dogs are different because as far as we know they don’t have the same methods of thought as us, especially when it comes to baby making.</p>
<p>I think not only just cosmetic differences, but cultural differences play a huge role in mate-choosing. Again, it would make people inclined to stay a little more homogeneous by choosing someone of their own culture and religion.</p>
<p>PS Funny anecdote: My friend knows this guy in Teas who is a Colombian native, grew up speaking Spanish as his first language, and he had to take a language in high school, so he picked Spanish, thinking, well, he already knew how to speak it, so he’d ace it. He totally flunked.</p>
