Is calling them Darkies as bad as using the "N" word? Racism is wrong, period. It was a racist statement.

So calling someone an illegal alien, or an ethnic, is racism. Wow.

Is that as bad as pointing out a demographically disproportionate fear of reptiles ?

I hate to break this to you... That is a highly racist statement.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another race or races.

Oh, I sort of agree with your wife Shifty. The only good snake is a size 12 1/2D Tony Lama.

First, it's not a statement, it's a question.

In your experience do filipinos, black americans, and to a lesser extent latin americans have a relatively inordinant fear of snakes?

I know, i know, it's a horribly horribly racists question, but humor me please.

Carefull, if you answer yes, you're a racist.

Guess I'm safe. The answer is no. I've honestly never seen any hispanics, african-americans,filipinos or even jews (you want to know about "them" too, right?) have a group snake phobia. I have seen some white people that are overtly fond of them during church. Does that make me an illegal alien?

Well at least you're honest about it.

When you get to Belize adopt a pet boa and show it around to all your indeginous neighbors, they'll all think that it's a really cool pet.

Honest.

I may start a mongoose farm down there. I've hated snakes all my life.
I must be ethnic.

By the way, if somebody answers yes to my question does that make them a racist ?

Suave, it's calling them "ethnics" instead of people. You're implying the group you belong to is somehow superior to every other group by genetic design. It may have just been a freudian slip, it may have been just me. But it didn't look pretty.

We are all ethnic. So yes I do find it funny that you think the word ethnic is a racial slur. I like to use that word alot because it tricks people into revealing things about themselves that they otherwise might not.

And if I called them people that is no more descriptive than ethnic, you still wouldn't have known who I was talking about.
