    I guess we reach to root of our disparagement. I do not accept racism in any form. You seem accept it as method of fixing old wrong doing. Dixi.

      The dictionary disagrees:

      racism [ rey-siz-uhm ] noun a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.

      Also called in·sti·tu·tion·al rac·ism [in-sti-too-shuh-nl rey-siz-uhm, -tyoo-], struc·tur·al rac·ism [struhk-cher-uhl rey-siz-uhm], sys·tem·ic rac·ism [si-stem-ik rey-siz-uhm] . a policy, system of government, etc., that is associated with or originated in such a doctrine, and that favors members of the dominant racial or ethnic group, or has a neutral effect on their life experiences, while discriminating against or harming members of other groups, ultimately serving to preserve the social status, economic advantage, or political power of the dominant group.

      There is nothing racist about making the playing field level. It is racist to want to keep a race below another, which is what you’re advocating. So, I say again, you’re the only racist one here.

        We have different dictionaries. From Webster:

        2 Prejudice or discrimination based upon race.

          It’s neither prejudice or discrimination though, so you’ve fucked that up too.

          Edit: hang the fuck on. This is a link to the Webster definition and it doesn’t say that. Stop making shit up.

              Since you love Webster so much (see my edit above): discrimination noun dis·​crim·​i·​na·​tion di-ˌskri-mə-ˈnā-shən Synonyms of discrimination 1 a : prejudiced or prejudicial outlook, action, or treatment racial discrimination

              Because it’s not prejudicial, that’s why.

                Sorry. if it not prejudicial than it justified. How you justify one race over other?

                  Oh ffs. How are you not getting that it was to make the races equal because first nations people are well below the rest of us? I’ve met rocks smarter than you.
