Viva la Resistance!
I am *EXTREMELY* discriminate against TYPES of people. I would argue that many people are. So if one race identifies with one of these traits a lot more than another, that makes me dislike them more than the other.

Another point, while I'm on the subject: if you look at crime statistics, education statistics, etc. and look at the actual facts - you will notice well-defined differences between a few ethnicities. Hell, when you look at any official crime statistic they break it down by race. Why would they bother doing that if there wasn't such a difference?

This just goes to show that some races are more STEREOTYPICALLY not as intelligent, more likely to comit crime, and more susceptible to certain illnesses. Though this does not mean that ALL persons of this ethnicity are going to fit this stereotype ... it does prove (by facts and history) that people have a valid reason to look at them differently because of their race.

To get to the point, I have had numerous black friends throughout my life. Not only did I grow up in the south burbs of Chicago where I (white people) was the minority, but I have served in the U.S. military where there is a very diverse spread of cultures. The reason I chose to be friends with the person who was black was the same reason I would be friends with anyone of any other race. However, generally speaking, I do not care for black people. Does that make me a racist? Or does that mean that I have come to a realization that "they" are more likely to comit a crime ... that they have illnesses that most humans do not have (such as sickle cell anemia) ... and that they are usually less intelligent? No - I do not think that makes me racist at all.

--If you are lazy, its your fault (because you choose to be).
--If you do not speak properly, its your fault (because you choose to speak like an idiot)
--If you don't make something of yourself and spend your life in the ghetto, its your fault (because you didn't pick yourself up)
--If you have 10 kids and can't support them, its your fault (because you're ignorant and selfish and have no responsibility)

If "racism" and its many faces of discrimination are going to change in this world ... we need to look past the "color" and see the source of the problem which is ultimately people fucking themselves over with poor decisions.

My conclusion (in relation to the topic)? Affirmative action *IS* discrimination and should not be tolerated. If a black person is more qualified ... give the damn job to them. If a hispanic is willing to work for less, fuck the white boy who thinks he's too good for that - because he's too lazy to accept such a humbling job. But regardless, when qualified candidates DO want to work and cannot ... that is blatant racism; and for the last 10 years or so it has come alive in the form of affirmative action and turned around on able-bodied white folks. And quite frankly, I'm fed up.
