I love how you say that this theory could end racism. This theory is incredibly racist. What would a black persons reaction to this be if it were proven?

O_o
I concur. I'm black (not all the way, mind, but still) and I didn't take this seriously. Why? Because I'm black. Not because I'm white with a fuckton of freckles. Besides, all of the rascist white folks would only have more fodder for there discriminating cannons.

I'd prefer to think of this in the reverse, since that would make white people think that this is bullshit, and black folks feel smarter. And you know why else?
I'm black.

Yeah.

On a more serious note: I have seen people with freckles on their palms, soles, and lips. and no, my palms aren't white, more of a light brownish color. Furthermore, you still haven't answered the question as to the people who have reddish freckles, such as my mother.

Spoof, I think your post somehow got corrupted. There's three blank lines below the quote, i'm assuming there's supposed to be some sort of comment or response there. Try editing and resubmitting the post, see if that works.

Nah, I think the problem is simply that spoof is an idiot.

spoof,
SkyPanda was saying that all races can be racist. Just like white people can discriminate against minorities, minorities have also been known to discriminate against whites, as well as against the other minorities.

@Demonz: I can see what he means, and the logic is there, i guess, but yeah, I don't think that that's true. In my book, racism is define by one race acting against another race, physically or otherwise, as I'm pretty sure most other people are too.

@SkyPanda: Sorry, it's just that where i live, I'm one of the only black persons for miles, and everyone is (surprise!) white. So, I guess that that was poor... defining on my part. My apologies.

New post: Nope SkyPanda, i understood what you said. as i couple people above this post said, the minority doesnt harm the majority as much with their racism. It helps make my claim in my old post though, that racism is exists and is inevitable.

That's amazing. There's not even an element of unfair treatment or judgment by other qualities. It's just "acting against." Brilliant.
So if you are, for example, participating in some math contest, then you're expected to drop out if anyone else there is a minority race. If you don't, you're acting against a minority and are therefore being racist.
You should come to him acting appalled that there are white kids on your school's sports teams, since participating in a competitive event entails acting against the interests of the opposing team, on which there are likely members of a minority race.

.: Black people can't be racist (in America).

Coincidentally, I think he's an idiot.
That's.. that's unbelievable. That your school actually has something called a 'diversity councilor', and that he doesn't know what racism is. It has nothing to do with minorities or majorities! I suppose he could be referring to the inherent superiority theory, and linking that to population... no I agree completely, he's an idiot.

It also means that if, for example, you're Asian, you can go around saying you hate black people, and it's not racist because Asians aren't the majority. Don't ask me what happens if you're mixed race. Perhaps it's half-racist or something. Also, I'm pretty sure there are slightly more females than males in Western countries. Would that mean men cannot be sexist because they're a minority?

I think your diversity counselor is having difficulty distinguishing between "privileged" and "majority", though I would argue that even members of non-privileged groups may be prejudiced against others, including the privileged group.

That got me thinking... I'm of a mixed race, very muddled, so does saying that I hate, say, white people mean I'm racist, even though I'm part white? Hm...

But back to the topic at hand. I think that this theory is, quite simply, a load of bullshit.

I've most likely said this before, in some other way shape or form, but yeah. What're the odds that I would be completely covered in freckles, thereby leading to my delicious mocha brown, coffee colored skin tone? Shouldn't there be spots, or something of that nature, where, I'm, y'know, white? Or something?

Though, I suppose that this thread was all a load of bullshit, seeing as how no thinking person would be stupid enough to believe such idiocy.

your ridiculious, red freckles are our friends. They help fight contaminations, like sunburn chemicals. Freckles dont come from sunshine, sunshine bounces off freckles, thats how the freckles fight off the dam contaminations. Sooo why are red-headed people pasty-white sometimes? Bam, cause all the freckles on their faces (or the ones chillin right under the surface of the skin) are batting away all the sunshine. It's science..
