How Many Racists Does It Take to Screw in a Lightbulb?

Oh, come on. We can't tell the differance any more than they could for someone who is American, someone who is Canadian, someone who is Australian, and someone who is British.

Canadians only wear flannel and say "eh" and "aboot".
Americans will always say "y'all".
Australians say "mate", "barbie", and "g'day".
Brits are the leftovers.

Heh, I still can't help thinking about to screw in a lightbulb that way everytime I see the phrase...

Only the southerners.

And not all Canadians say "aboot" an "eh" and dress in flannel.

Those stereotypes were intentional.

I believe that world peace and the end of racism can be achieved when the last american wasp is struggled with the guts of the last english.

if this makes me a racist, I don't know *shrug* I don't think so tho.

Actually, regarding East Asians, there are differences if you are observant enough. They are subtle differences, and exist over a spectrum, but someone familiar with them can usually tell the difference between Chinese, Japanese, and Laotian (for example). And, of course, they could tell the difference amongst themselves much easier than an American could.

But my high school is about 1/2 asian of different varieties, 1/4 white, and the last quarter indian...

I think he's referring to Amerindians. There aren't too many schools in North America where a quarter of the population is South Asian...

I took the racism selector at selectsmart.com and ended up an "racial bigot", whatever the hell they mean with that. Just because I oppose AA...

I know my real preference is colorblind when it comes to Politics.

Liberals dont want to have a concrete definition of racism, that way they can use it to tar and feather more people.

I took that test and got:


# 1 Anti-Racist
# 2 Colorblind
# 3 Racial 'Realist'
# 4 Racist
# 5 Racial Bigot
# 6 Racialist

I hope you recognise that the "Old World" countries have populations which are a hell of a lot more ethnically distinct than those of the New World. There's no real genetic difference between a white guy in Australia and a white guy in Canada. There is a difference between ethnic Chinese/ethnic Laotian.

Given that he lives in Toronto I doubt he's going to school with too many Amerindians. In many neighbourhoods there or in Montreal you could find schools where 1/2 or 3/4 of the students are south Asian, while the only places you'd find that many Amerindians is on a reservation or out in the middle of the prairies or the great North.
