I Hate Racism In Any Form

People here claim to not being racist however I have found some who claim they arnt very much are . For example , some people here who dont like to hear what I am saying even if it is the truth and they say truth is hard to hear resort to character assasination and telling me that maybe I should go back to Zimbabwe where I came from . Just because I am white this is no less offensive than if I were black Zimbabwean and is still racist . So some people need to think before opening their mouths or writing offensive things down . If I was black people would be up in arms in my defense well those same people should also be up in arms even though I am white as it is still racism no matter the colour of my skin and no less offensive .

Is it racism when someone tells another to go back where they came from? It depends why they are saying it. If it’s because this person is whining about their new country and it’s values then, no it’s not racism. It just means “if you don’t like it here, why did you come in the first place?” Anyone of any skin color can mean this. If it’s said because of your skin color, then it’s racism. Too many jump straight to race for anything that’s said, so what was the context of you being told this?

@Carissimi There is a big difference between as you say "If you dont like it why did you come here ?" and telling some one to go back to their own country no matter the colour of their skin . Its offensive and its not a query .

@Carissimi "Race" is sadly all too easy an excuse even when skin colour has nothing to with the argument; and it does seem an ever-increasing trend generally merely to attack or try to suppress rather than reason with other opinions, etc.

Racism is by means White v. Colour, too. A lot, though no means all, of the racism in some British cities has been between those of Asian and Afro-Caribbean descents; but their divisions and intolerance seems of cultural, not melanin, roots.

It means the same thing. You sound oversensitive, like Woke people. @Rhode57

@Carissimi Maybe but if I was black everyone would be agreeing with me saying it was racist .

For sure they would, but that doesn’t mean we have to become like them spewing propaganda. Someone has to have integrity and tell it like it is. @Rhode57
