I came across something earlier.
A complaint about this racist fuck over on Urbandictionary badmouthing the Filipinos or some such gamut.
Normally, I let these kinds of things slide, but then I had to say something about it this time.
I’m no authority on racism or its “economics,” but then there just seems to be some kind of negative racial stereotype for every single nationality.
That Koreans are communist.
Americans are obese idiots.
African-Americans are violent thugs.
Filipinos are leeches holding onto the US.
Japan is full of weirdos in the worst sense.
Africans are poor and dying.
Should I continue?
No.
All of the above was fucking insensitive, and I meant none of it.
Which raises the question:
Why does racism exist?
This question makes more sense if you remove all the frills.
If you ask on the single, most base level, completely regardless of anything one race might be accountable for…
Then what does it come down to?
Xenophobia?
Selfishness?
I often wonder why so much discontent needs to exist.
The justification I’d brewed for myself was;
“Without a negative concept, a positive concept cannot exist… Because then it would simply be. But to be is not always mean.”
Or some such thing.
I’m not trying to prove any points.
I’m simply asking why all this bullshit has to go down every single fucking day.
I think xenophobia is unfounded.
Racism is such a fucking waste of time.
If you’ve met exponents of a certain race that present them in a bad light, then remember this:
Just because one person of white/black/yellow/brown/et al skin is a fucktard, doesn’t mean that the other million with the same skin color are going to be the same affair.
That’s generalizing and being narrow-minded at the same goddamn time.
And if your excuse is “well a potatofucker killed my mother” or some such thing along those lines, the above still applies.
Hate him, by all means.
But do not count the rest of his kin in your absolution.
But then…
This is just another one of my frustrations.
Another one of my issues.
Suddenly, I am disheartened to continue.
I do not see the point.
What difference does my opinion make?
I’m just someone who wishes well.
Until the racist segment of this planet realizes that their hate on another race is completely unfounded, I’ll harbor these wishes of betterment.
Humans are humans, regardless of country, culture, or skin color.
Anyway.
Enough of my talk.
I’m off.
