desi is applied to indians/pakistanis because the homeland in hindi is called 'desh' from which the word arises

You met an Asian with a big dick?

well it wasnt tiny lol. And one of the best looking black men ive met in my
life, well after several dates, things moved along and it was like someone
had sewn a button on there. That wasnt the bad part, it was while he was
humpin he started bragging how many women asked him to slow way down
cuz he was "hurting" them.

I mean a world where you rarely interact with Black folks in real life and where all the White folks are afraid of being called racist. Where I live is mostly Black and the White folks don't give a fuck if you think they're racist or not (which a lot of them are).

To be fair, she is right about the middle and upper class white fear of being labelled racist. Even if they are racist on the inside, its too much hassle for them to act on that. On the other hand chavs have no issues with being racist.

I have had the same experience.

Smallest ever belonged to the race (ya ya no races blah blah) most known for having big cocks.

Dude was so small he wouldn't try to have sex with me unless I was sleeping. Normally I don't mind be waken up that way, but after 4 fumbles I was done.

I've never actually dated an Asian. Not by choice, just haven't met any in that sort of situation, plus to be fair, you guys either date your own, or white girls, never ever met an asian dating anything else.

The OP is interesting, because strangestdude is a black guy admitting to apprehensions against individuals based on personal experience that has led to a subconscious stereotyping and 'racist' generalisation. He also admits that he has stereotyping and 'racist' feelings towards certain black individuals who act in a certain way.

I think its important and brave to acknowledge such feelings. From a 'flawed human' point of view if you admit to this it shows you're troubled by it and acknowledging the complexity of human experience.

strangestdude as a black guy you'll also be the object of racist stereotyping and fear because of the experiences that some people may have had with individuals who happen to be black. Thus another truth about stereotyping and racism comes into play - if we admit that we are vulnerable to these feelings ourselves, and that we are complicit in this towards others, it also hurts like hell to be the object of others stereotyping and generalisation.

Sounds great, billy, if you're living in 19th century.

However we're moving to the 21st and it's time to evolve.

A. Much respect for a civilized reaction, brother.

B. English language is not one of my strength. Not sure where you lost me, but I will try to explain anyway.

I was saying that in our times it's time to appreciate a person who opens up his soul to us exactly the same irrespective of their race and with no need to even mention it.

You could tell me that the person would have a different life experience based on where he/she lived and what color they are.

Can't argue with that, unfortunately. However we (humans) have been against racism for a good part of last century in most parts of the world, we achieved quite a bit there and there has to be a generation now that knows of racism from movies only. If they also know of it from their life experiences then unfortunately I must say that our achievements fighting racism are demagogy to some extent and no one has changed inside, since where did the new generation learn it from?

I say it's time to quit it altogether. "Eradicate" it, as strangestdude said.

We have very limited power, of course, to change the world in this matter, but we could easily change ourselves, each one of us. All we need really is to want to change. But do most of us want it?

Most of us wear glasses that makes us see the world in certain colors and we don't want to take them of. The effect of such glasses has been shown here, when we think we're not racist yet see racism where there is none and deprive ourselves of a richer human experience. Who perpetuates this vision if not each one of us? Take of your glasses, brothers and sisters!

I appreciate it, and I'll bet if you think on what I said you'd appreciate it too. Human life is complex and every thought we have contains plenitudes of contradictions depending on the perspective and angle of the notion.

As an aside, I don't think racism will ever be eradicated, but I do think it can be ameliorated and lessened and we should strive to do that.

Well yeah, but she didn't make that distinction and I think it's an important one, as the majority of white people in the US and the UK are either working-class or lumpen (chavs, etc).

Quote from: Homo Sapien on September 04, 2011, 07:50 PM
With regards the BBC Asian Network poll you gave a link for, you have to understand that there are cultural differences between whites and ethnic minority asians when it comes to seeking partners & two of those differences are (rightly or wrongly) a long tradition of arranged marriages & very strong family values/bonds & involvement in marriage. Both of these factors will affect the mindset of young British asians. To simplistically label this as racism imo is unfair.

Quote from: Alex Lam Meem on September 05, 2011, 12:41 AM
OK, so HomoSapien gives one example of how easy it is to "recognize" racism where there may be none. We (most of us, damaged by this ugly thing) immediately assume that announcement of "asians only" on a mate searching site is racist, while they may be about family values and culture 9 times out of 10.

I've heard the above before from Asian/muslim friends who were trying to justify that behaviour (sometimes their behaviour), I don't personally find it convincing. What family values are you guys referring to?

I remember one white muslim guy who was on the verge of tears telling myself and some muslim friends how he has been treated either because he's white, or because he's married to a black lady.

I've heard many stories of the ethnocentric/racist behaviour rife in the English muslim community - and personally witnessed too much - for me to believe the 'family values' justification/excuse is legit.

Actually it's pissing me off remembering my time in the community - every single revert (bar one who converted in scotland) I've spoken to about their experiences within the Ummah talk about how they've felt excluded due to the ethnocentric nature of the community, or they've experienced open racism.

Of course I've met some Asian muslims who didn't care what colour any muslim was and treated everyone the same, or married outside of their race.

I have not met any. I worked with a pakistani many years ago, and
he was really cool, nice, and very friendly. We would go to lunch
sometimes, and eat middle eastern food. He also turned me on to
pakistani music which i really liked alot. I have no idea though, if
he was muslim or not, but I suspect he wasn't very devout at all.
