i don't know if it is just me but there is a hell of alot of raceisum against white people.

Kids are told at school in australia that they can not call Aboriginals abbos, even though Aboriginals happily call each other abbos and even happily let their friends call them abbos. the term isn't a insult, it is just a abreivation of a long, hard to pronounce word.

More and more if a white guy get's into a fight with a person of ANY skin color other then bleach white. He is a raceist and has a problem with Greeks, Arabis, or Asians ect ect. Dosn't matter if the other guy started started the fight, or even if it is a personal issue.

even in court cases that would be thrown out as 'trivial' are getting to trial. any altercation between say a Asian and a Greek would be to guys having a go at each other. if one of em is white and the other anit, tut tut tut. hitting him is suddenly 5 times as bad.

I have no idea what your talking about. I don't know which country you are from, but in the US minorities do not get preferential treatment to whites and the example about the aboriginals is not racist. I don't deny that whites experience racism, but definitely not in the form your talking about.

It sounds like the OP is from Australia. I can't speak for Australia. His example might be valid as it sounds a lot like how some African Americans call each other ni**a, but White people can't call them that. But then again, ni**a isn't an abbreviation for Black.

I think it's a common misconception that the minority cannot be racist. Anybody can be. It is just less consequential when they are, as they do not have as much power to oppress as a male WASP. In America, anti-White racism is often overlooked because some people feel we have it coming for what our ancestors did, which may not be completely fair.

The terms "cracker" and "gringo" are racist, but people don't usually get offended. One insult from a non-White person to another non-White person is "coconut," meaning they're brown on the outside but white on the inside, i.e. they act White and that is bad.

That's a perfect analogy.

Once again you're right, and whats a WASP?

You're right, being called 'white' is in an insult, when ever some black co-workers start talking about something I don't know about (even the other white co-workers know what they are talking about) and i ask them what they are talking about, they just shake thier heads and laugh saying "Dam you're so white!"

Damn it's hard to be white. I mean, black people only get beaten and sodomized by the police, but you can't throw ethnic slurs at aborigines? Oh man, say it ain't so. Say it ain't so.

Thanks. WASP = White Anglo-Saxon Protestant

Racism is racism not matter where it originates and ends.

it may not be an insult to YOU, but obviously it is to others. If someone calls you racist because you used the word, they are just expressing themselves in the wrong way. But if you keep using the word then you are at the very least, being racially insensitive.

Two words: Affirmative Action.
