Are black people the most racist races of all?
- Thread starter seous
- Start date
Holy shit, among Portuguese that came from the old african colonies there's a very similar saying, also in rhymes.
"Se vires uma cobra e um indiano, mata primeiro o indiano, porque esse animal vil, a única coisa que tem de bom é o caril."
If you see a snake and an Indian, kill the Indian first, because that vile animal, the only good thing that he has is the curry.
I dunno why everyone hates on Indians. Granted they can be sort of annoying with their persistence in getting work, but overall they are good people with a very good work ethic.
I saw that too awhile back. Was pretty interesting.
Edit> This is it I think - http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/episode/the-human-family-tree-3706/time-line#tab-Overview . Probably a torrent floating around out there somewhere if interested.
Edit 2> I found it if anyone wants it (PM). Not a lot of seeds though, so i might take awhile.
Do you remember what the tribe looked like? It was really cool how they literally had traits of all the races of people wrapped into one. Totally believable that this small tribe of people could have been the start of humanity. As their tribesman left to other parts of the world they started dropping certain features and other features started becoming more pronounced.
That video you linked to isn't it though, I wish I could find it. The fucking documentary was sick, I'd love to email it out to my friends.
Maybe I haven't seen it then. The one I linked to, was a really interesting study that tried to track the origins of humans through DNA analysis. Controversial, but interesting nonetheless. If you figure out what you're trying to think of, let me know...cause I'd love to watch it.
Hilarious! Man, that gets around. I had no idea.
I can't tell you when they first started saying it, but I know it's a well established childrens fable in Thailand... Could be thousands of years old.
-Thai curry is already much more tasty than Indian curry so I also see why they don't mention that part.
Me neither, my Indian neighbors here in Kansas are as hard-working and stink-free as they come. However I'd venture a guess that over in the old country they have 2 things working against them;ly2 from WF said:
1. Their skin is darker than the others southern asians... Which is the most well-known trait to be prejudiced against there.
2. The Indians in India would be forced to have lower standards because of the overcrowding and other backwards conditions there... So when they first venture out of the country they would naturally appear more lowly and even downright stinky.
Disclaimer: The words of the post you have just read are not necessarily the official standpoint of anyone in particular. Racism is not a funny thing and should be taken seriously. Don't taunt happy fun ball. McGruin is Roishare. Yes this is a known troll thread.
I lol'd. Shouldn't be hating on Indians. It's just annoying how they're always trying to get hired and shit. (DP/WaFo Indians ofc.)
I like how they get angry when you tell them to try and speak correct Engrish.
Person A walks into a followup interview. He/she is told that he/she will not be getting the job because he/she is black.
What's your first reaction?
Now replace the word "black" with "white", and what's your reaction now? Replace "black" with "mexican", what now?
If your answer for all 3 aren't the exact same, then you will see my point. 1 is socially acceptable in today's society, and two aren't.
Look down, now up - you're on a thread with the man your man could think like. Look down, back at me - what's this? One point to the argument you love! Look again, the point is now proven! Anything can be proven when you're thinking clearly and not one sided. I'm on a WickedFire.
<Disclaimer: I wrote this while drunk, so I'm probably fucked up - but the point sounds great in my head!>

I tell this to white people all the time. Other races are much more racist than you, so stop feeling so guilty.
But then, when white people get racist, they turn the whole fuckin system racist because white people have so much institutional power.
There's a big difference between a homeless bum who is prejudiced against blacks, versus a district attorney who is prejudiced against blacks.
Same reason white people are so obsessed about being 1/4th Scottish, 1/16th Native, 1/32nd Norwegian, etc.
It's not about the land or the country, it's about the color of your skin, your accent, your name, your culture, the food you eat, etc.
I also think part of it is that minorities feel so much pressure to give up their values and accept white Americas values.
