Right. Well you're entitled to your opinion, but next time voice it without insulting one of my favorite authors, and a book that not only is five times your age, but has spawned several movies, and at least three television series'. Also deliberately attacking my favorite show was rude.

Tarzan's a good yarn, but that doesn't mean it isn't a flawed novel. And it was published in 1912, of course it's racist. Tintin is racist.

Five times my age does not equal free from scrutiny.

The conversation might have got a little heated but it's not rudeness, it's only telly.

I must ask, are you actually British, or are you one of those Americans who just sort of thinks they are?

...I ask because tellie is generally not spelled with a y.

I'm English.

And I doubt there is a rule about 'telly', since it's not really a proper word... well, it's spoken much more than it's written.

Alright. Whereabouts do you live? Half of my mom's family is English (and Irish, and Scottish, and Welsh)


...And on the topic of racism, at least we can agree that modern racism was started by a Frenchmen.

My family isn't even British, we're completely English, going back hundreds of years. (Until my Granny couldn't get any further in her research of our family tree)

There might be one Welshwoman who married in to the family in the 1500s. xD
Ethnic.

I live south of London.

I want one of those DNA analyses which tells you exactly how mixed you are, like from thousands of years ago.

But even more than that, I want them to do it to Nick Griffin, leader of the BNP (British National Party), the UK's leading Racism Brigade in the guise of a political party.

It's not just America that's full of idiots. Europe just crashed and burned, and now Germany is the only country holding the whole EU up. The UK is starting to pull back up from what I've been told though. Not really sure.

The real truth is that humans stated in Africa, and Asia so being racist against them is epic failure. Things like race, and gender are unimportant. People are who they are, not what they are.

@ Pearl: Shut. Up. You were kind of pissing me off earlier being small-minded about anime, and you're pissing me off again. I'm not going to do a DNA analysis on myself just beacause some imagination-lacking girl on the Internet wants proof.

@ sarof: So true. I've seen morons from around the world, but it just seems that America has WAAAAAY too many. And I've heard that about Germany being the only country in the entire EU holding them up. Looks like when I go to grad school (IF I can get to grad school) I might want to go to Germany rather than England. I know I want to go to either of them. But since it seems Germany is one of the few countries in the world who's economy hasn't tanked, I might be better off going there--who knows, I might be able to finally find a job! (Only been looking for three years, but still....)
And YES!!! I agree on you there. I've got friends who are bi, gay, Black, White, Hispanic, from other countries, as crazy as me, other religions, other genders; hell, one of my best friends is Autistic! And I only see them as friends. My parents are the same as me. I don't judge by appearances.

Taiyo: I think she meant she wants one for herself.

Being a White male, with blond hair and blue eyes in America, I get to experience racism from others every day. Both sides of it. People assume I'm racist and spout off to me, also people from other races call me a Nazi. So that's always lovely. I've never been racist, I've never allowed myself to have racist friends, so calling me one gets me steamed you know.

I said I didn't want to take the multicultural class that we have to take to graduate (it's pretty much why white people are bad, from the point of view of whatever group.) And someone yelled at me about how I "needed to learn the truth" and then called me a Nazi. So that was lovely. Though I recently discovered that my German class might count for that. So that's awesome. :)

Oh. Oops. If it's for yourself then no problem.

Nice! I wouldn't want to take a clas like that multicultural one either, simply because saying that one group of people is completely bad is just...wrong. I'm not racist--or at least, I try not to be. Thankfully, most of the people from other "races" I've met are decent people, with a few asses thrown in. Oddly enough, most of the asses I've encountered have been White. Go figure. And even I've been the victim of racism, which is part of why I hate it so much. Okay, my hair's not blonde, but I'm white, have a case of Freckle-Face, and blue eyes, and when I was going to the Boys and Girls Club in my town, almost all of the kids there saw fit to call be a racist, spoiled, rich-white-girl bitch. And when I made it clear that I'm proud of my German ancestry, they decided to call me a Nazi. Sadly, there were also some kids there (both older and younger) who DID know what white supremasists were (I can't spell right now), and decided that I was one. I'M NOT! You put me in the same room as a white supremasist, and I will probably beat the shit out of the bastard. The same if you put me in the same room as a Nazi. And yet, here I am, flat-on-my-ass-broke, major self-esteem problems (after I don't know how many years I'm finally getting a little confidence), and most definitly NOT spoiled. And many of my friends are other nationalities, races, sexualities, etc. How is that racist in any way?

See and white people are always targeted as being the great oppressors. It's so much bull.

The same kid flipped out all over me about how white people still tend to make more than black people and how racist it was. I then pointed out that asian people tend to make more than white people, and he got all flustered and walked off. The black friend I was talking to when the guy walked up started laughing hysterically. It was kinda awesome.

Racists are generally total morons, and the ones who aren't stupid are twisted crazy. I strongly dislike them, and try to avoid them at all costs.

:rofl: The only reason I avoid racists so bad is the simple fact that I get this really bad urge to pulverize them, so it's more of an I-don't-want-to-get-arrested sort of thing.
