Serious Discussion / own race racism?

Have you guys realized that some people are so intensive about not being racist and unjust that they end up being 'racist' to their own race? I found that this happens to teachers. e.g person grows up in a school where he's seen a lot of racism, grows up determined to not be racist like they were. in the end he/she ends up (i guess racist is not the right word here) being 'unjust' to their own race? like they'll favor people of targeted races (african american, asians, indian, etc) and not really pay attention to their own race?

Not just against their own race, but against the favored races in general.

wow, i guess thats why so many americans yell at asians for "not driving well" when they dont drive much better...
my moms not exactly the "best driver mom of the year" but she gets flicked off/honked at so many times...
why cant ppl just get along w/ each other...
edit: whoops [on topic] idk though, ive never seen a person whos racist against their own race, if i did, i would be seriously confused. -

well thats not racism
racism would mean you literally hate your own race.
you're not hating your own race here, you're just liking the other races too much. -

No serious, chinks cant drive!
When I go to an asian city/town, at least 80% of the time the person next next to me is partially on my spot. A good half 6-8 inches or so. Thats why, I park backwards, in my own space with enough space to easily get out on both sides. And taking more than ~5 seconds. No bullshit.
I was at In n Out in a dominately middle eastern/white city. Parked at the closest spot available. Person on the right was a foot in my spot. And the person on the left,... right over the parking lane. As I got out, person on the left was an asian soccer mom. I was watching to see who parked on the right while eating.... some asian dude.
And on the streets! Fuck! Can't they follow simple road rules! or stay in their own fucking lanes! and they are slow! I mean, 60 MPH in in the freeway?! WTF IS THAT SHIT!?
And if you're getting honked at you're doing something wrong. If you're getting flipped off at, you're really doing something wrong. -

Well I call myself Jap, but I don't think it's racism. It's just using racism words without any racial meaning to it.
It's like calling you stupid and you and I are both stupid. -

Why is 'Jap' a racist term? I just thought it was a shortened word for Japanese. -
Date: Sun, Mar 22 2009 12:09:36
^^Agreed. How is Jap racist in anyway. I don't even think calling someone a nigger is overly racist.

Jap is a racist term because american soldiers called japanese that during the war
but if black ppl can call themselves nigger, then japanese can call themselves jap, but nobody else can. -
Date: Sun, Mar 22 2009 15:10:43
yeah lol, in nigahiga's opinion, he says that black ppl say nigga, but hate it when other races say that.
so idk, i think ppl calling me something that usually offends my race doesnt partically offend me at all. i just dont like being cussed at...its partically annoying when they join both together though.

What about immigrants who due to their surroundings and classmates start to hate their own country of origin, thus their childhood friends, parents, family, etc and eventually themselves?
That would be "own race racism". -

Did Americans call Japanese 'Jap' as a racist term? Because wouldn't that mean if they called canadians 'Candaians' that would be racist too. -

Hehe, this reminds me of Russel Peters. The comedian who makes a lot of racist jokes.
And yes, the word jap is a racist term like nigger or chink but now its used freely as a short form. -
Date: Mon, Mar 23 2009 22:51:51
eh... about Jap
i dont think people are really aware of the fact that its a derogatory term
alot of people just use it so its easier for them to type
but...
its also a matter of how people take that
some dont care. some think its not a racist term at all.
even some japanese ppl dont think so -

It's not really the same as the stuff metioned above, still pretty interresting. I read in Malcolm Gladwell's Blink that actually over half of the African Americans taking Harvard's web test about race preference, had it easier to connect positive words with white people and negative words with black people than the other way around. Although still better than for European Americans, for whom it was something around 80-90% of the people, it still is a peculiar result, and it just shows how much the media and the society you live in, can affect you and the way you unconsciously view other people.
