So, after asking about age, sleeping nude, browsers, etc. would you tell what skin color you have?
I hope this isn't offensive or racist. :mrgreen:
Along the way, my 2 cents about racism.
1. The bad thing, imho, about racism is that it often works with stereotypes - oh, you are black, so must be a gang; oh, you are an Arab, so you're probably a suicide bomber; oh, you are German, so you must be a Nazi to some extent.
The opposite, idealizing (anti-stereotyping) is also true - you are white, so you must very clever and sophisticated; oh, you are Italian, so you must really love pizza, oh, you are a Buddhist monk, so you must be very skilled in Kung Fu, etc.
2. I consider myself a racist in the sense that I admit the physical, intellectual and cultural differences between races without the cent above.
How about you? Are you racist? :lol:
