I wonder what someone like Nilet thinks of all the Mexican nationals in Mexico who want illegal immigrants from Guatemala, el Salvador, Honduras, etc........ out of their country? Is that racism?Yep. Or is it only racist when white men in this country express that view. Of course not. That you would assume it implies you're racist. Most countries have people who think immigration should stop or better enforced. Mexicans vs. Guatemala. DR vs. Haiti. It's almost a human nature, not something only white men feel strongly about. I never said that racism wasn't human nature, and I never claimed there was a single society on the planet that didn't have racism in some shape or form. We're tribalistic by nature; our species evolved in small social groups and so developed a natural tendency to distinguish an extremely tiny in-group of "us" from the out-group of "them" comprising the rest of the species, and who it is fine to kill in cold blood. If anything, racism is an improvement over the prehistoric days in which "in-group" or "us" status only applied to people we knew personally. But just as segregation was technically an improvement over slavery, it's still wrong. And that we are biologically predisposed to racism doesn't make it any less wrong. |
