I'm wondering just how many people in here are white cause besides Zang I can't think of someone who isn't. So what ethnicity are you?

I suppose I am latino... But I don't think that that necessarily means that I'm not white/caucasian 0.0

I'm personally not offended (but others here may be),but I've never understood how saying "I have black friends" fixes anything.

Actually, since it's winter, most people say it is, but I like cold weather. But since I live in the central part, not so much. But it is awfully cold in the southern part of Chi.... Oh, wait, I see what you did there :]. (BTW, if you pronounce Chile like Chilly, then you're wrong, if I'm correct, in enlgish, it would be sort of the same as Cheeleh.

I really don't understand racism. I've seen quite a bit of it in the past few days. I mean, it's all evolution, really. I don't see such why its such an issue still. Humans evolved from ape-like creatures with lighter brown skin. When we migrated to other areas of the globe, we evolved traits for certain reasons. Those living in or around the Himalayas developed larger epicanthic folds on the eyes to reduce snow-blindness. Those near the equator developed darker skin to aid in protection against UV rays. Those in areas further from the equator developed lighter coloured skin and hair to aid in the absorption of Vitamin D from the sun.
I mean, really, there's no real reason to consider anyone stupider or inferior because of their ethnicity. We're all the same species.

People think that if they have black friends they can't be racist... which isn't true. My brother in law is racist but he has black friends. I'm not entirely sure how that works.

It is my belief that black people have a higher crime rate, a higher poverty rate, and a higher drug rate. They are less valuable to society and I wish them purged.
