I'm Proud Of My Anglo-Saxon Heritage!

Currently running on the CBC is an ad for an upcoming program - they put together snippets from other sources - one that stuck in my head is the host of the weekly show Cross Country Checkup, who is of indigenous stock - he says:

"I'm proud of being Anishinaabe"


it occurred to me that you would never hear "I'm proud of my European Heritage", or "I'm proud of my English Heritage"


it's not uncommon to see Irish or Welsh or generic Celtic Heritage celebrated


when did it become unfashionable to be proud of your English/Anglo-Saxon/European Heritage?

So, what estimated percentage of the black population are you ok with doser?

I ask cause I'm intrested to know what percentage of an actual racist you are.
Are you only a 50% racist or perhaps only a 10% racist? My guess is that your around the 75% racist range..no?

Also, what criteria must a minority posess before they're worthy of your acceptance...or at least able to disqualify themselves from your targeted racial invectives?

an interesting concept - I've always figured that either someone is racist or they're not

but you seem to have a very different definition of racist than i do

as does town

as does ala teoni

seems like everybody has a different definition of what racism is

Also, what criteria must a minoity posess before they're worthy of your acceptance..

i don't judge groups of people - i like to take 'em one at a time

seems kinda racist to judge people by groups

.or at least fail to disqualify themselves from your tatgeted racial invectives?

No not at all. As matter of fact when someone makes a racial slur it tends to cover the entire lot of them...all 100%. So are you telling me you're a 100% racist?

Your racial stereotyping seems at odds with your rhetoric then.

we don't agree on what constitutes a "racial slur"

here's a hint: "blacks like watermelon" is not a racial slur - it's a statement of fact

Well, from your "gravity" comment facts are you sound like a flabby fat arse. Perhaps, hypothtically, I disdain 80% of flabby fat arses. So should I make disparaging remarks about ALL flabby fat arses or sould I just keep them to myself?

same as with racial slurs, we have different ideas of what we should find offensive :idunno:

i say "do what you like"

while you say "keep your mouth closed"


i believe that's called censorship


and i find the thought of being censored by the likes of you offensive :carryon:

enjoyment doesn't enter into it

Well its a fact many view stereotyping as racist. So stick that fact in your file.

even if stereotyping is based in fact?


is it stereotyping to say that men are stronger than women?

should i refrain from saying that in case someone may be offended by it?
