Literally one thing that just won't stop, Racism.
I actually go to online chatrooms (Chatango) and people say shitty racist things towards me. I'm asian and people say I eat dogs, have no eyes, always go to Panda Express with a damn discount, etc. If you guys happen to visit the chatrooms that I've been to, My account name is Pray, I go to club and inn. chatango . com BTW is this advertising? Let me know.
Like it's just so fucking disrespectful. This world will have generations of idiots. People just don't even fucking care and only want pain and satisfation. Don't feed. But I tried to ignore them, but they all keep being "CHING CHANG CHONG KUNG POUND CHICKEN RICE N NOODLES" eat dog? small eyes? I don't eat dogs, I protect them from your ugly self. Small eyes? I just close them to not look at your ugly face. Literally. It just won't stop. Not even your comebacks will stop it. Satisfaction. Remember that. Do not feed, the crowd. This is also similar to other races. Below, you guys can share your thoughts and experiences with racism. This community is actually nice and I'm happy about that.
Please don't start wars on this thread. I've seen youtube.
Oh and sorry for the cussing.

The whole hating experience is just downright stupid just for specific odds and behavours that may or may not most of the members have. Honestly, if you get attacked just by someone by your acts, I'd rather just either ignore, tell the higher ranked members about it or to not visit for a while. I'm not exactly sure as of how to get to the point with it but just because you look and act different doesn't mean they need to jump on the gun, point at you and be in great amount of danger in your experience... just too far.

A Facebook post from friends/family said that the "All Lives Matter" hashtag is itself racist because it silences everyone who was affected and wants to speak out. I think that's pretty accurate based on YouTube comments.
I have never witnessed racism first-hand, even with such a strong and increasing Asian demographic, and I hadn't even moved to metro Vancouver yet. However, I have witnessed anti-Canadian sentiments down south while I was in high school.

If you go looking for racists, you're going to find racists, and then you're also going to see people who are not racist at all as racists. Confirmation bias.
I have never been personally a witness to any true racism. Any racism I have seen was indirect, e.g. in a news report about it, and always very strongly criticized (with some exceptions in the case of racism against white people). Considering this, I'm led to believe that racism is not all that common.
Literally one thing that just won't stop, Racism.
Racism isn't the only "thing" that won't stop. Racism, of course, is a belief in superiority or inferiority of certain races (races being a social construct mostly defined by skin color). There probably will always be racism, and there will always be several other incorrect beliefs. I won't name them since it will probably lead to an argument over whether or not that belief is true (I can guarantee you that some of these incorrect beliefs, which have nothing to do with hatred but result in very bad decisions that can seriously damage society if too many people make them, are held by some people here), but just to show how absurd these can get, I'll point out that there is even a community of people who insist that the Earth is flat. Forms of bigotry other than racism apply, too.
Yes, there are racists, but there is not racist government policy. Racist government policies (like the Jim Crow laws, or the Japanese internment camps) are a terrible injustice which must be stopped, as any other government policies based on bigotry should be. But individual racists and other bigots are just people with beliefs, and you can't expect the whole world to be made up only of people who are correct about everything.
Also, you're on the Internet. Trolls exist, and if you make it clear that racist statements bother you so much, they will use racist statements against you.

It's a stupid yet true case right there. If there are peoples that are just throwing out insults to others just because of different acts it's sadly an unavoidable cause and it's best to not bother with that guy any further if it goes too far...

It will always be a thing. The races are different, this causes some to succeed and fail with the prideful only looking at their race's successes and the failures of others and never the other way around. Best thing to do about it is keep it out in the open, than making it fester in the dark with "hate speech" laws.

I have a friend at my school who lived in China, and everything you said in the first post is exactly what kids at my school would tell him. I'm Mexican and kids at my school were asking me if I jumped the border, or that I would be deported if Donald Trump became president. Eventually I just learned to ignore it, and now it doesn't bother me. Just remember, every action has a consequence...
TL,DR: Remember that people will say s***, and karma is a b****

People who are racist tend to have insecurities or overcompensate for things. Ignore them. They've probably got a small package. Or they don't have a hobby. Hell, probably both.
Are you a human? Cool, welcome to the land.
You can be red, blue, green, brown, yellow, as long as you're not some secret agent from Mars hellbent on destroying our population, the rest should be irrelevant in terms of judgment.
Everyone's a little different, learn to learn from them. I'm talking to you southerners who go all "ey them blacks ain't nothin'." trust me, that's still a thing in the deep south.
I personally am a rather large mix of things, so I can't say I've seen racism towards myself first-hand, but I've seen enough of it to get annoyed. You'd think it'd end at some point, but nope, people with insecurities aren't really going to stop any time soon. Just imagine them in their underpants or realize they're not going to go very far and you'll probably be fine.

I'm beginning to wonder if media sometimes brings up African-American racism to distract us from the issue of Mexican racism, which I think is actually more serious. Don't get me wrong, as black racism is still a problem, but it's not "original inhabitants" serious.

I never got the "original inhabitants" bullshit. The Spanish conquered the natives who conquered each other all the time prior to that, just like the English did. I think it's just jealousy against whites that built a world power on their "stolen" land, and Mexicans only managed to set up a corrupt quasi-socialist nation. As a matter of fact, jealousy is rooted in a lot of pernicious attitudes with race.

In terms of opportunities, racism is the worst thing to ever happen to the work and migration field.
In terms of humor, racist jokes are hilarious as fuck.

The only jealous ones are those who already have power, while those who are not as strong usually have a reason to go after someone else. Unfortunately, they usually seem to go to extremes to try and get their way, which ends up hurting both sides.

Why would the ones in "power" be jealous of their inferiors? That's stupid. It's usually the losers in history that gripe about other races, and not the winners.

I'd say it's the other way arround. The ones with power are the ones who make a shitton of fuss about racism/sexism/etc. That's why half the blacklivesmatter people and feminists are upper-middle class individuals.

BlackLivesMatter and feminists better shows my argument, because they're the losers griping at people that are "in power" and jealous of them. For BlackLivesMatter, they see the many failures of their own race and blame those failures on the successes of those "in power" such as white cops, and white people in general. Economic classes have nothing to do with this, because this jealousy comes from racial identity and not income. It's not even accurate to say that it's upper-middle class individuals greasing the gears to all this, because it crosses economic status and is again stemmed from racial identity. The same thing applies to whites when they blame the Jews for their moral decay. It's an observation made from a point of defeat (being in a morally bankrupt state) and blaming the other who is better off (the Jew in a morally sound and thus advantageous state) for their own transgressions. It's easier to be jealous of people who are doing better than you, than to acknowledge your own race's problems and fix them. To say that those who are "in power" are jealous of people who are worse off just goes against the definition of the term jealousy and is just incorrect.

I have to draw the line somewhere. Black Lives Matter of Vancouver is requesting the city police department to voluntarily withdraw their float from the Pride Parade, and it's not really for the sake of black lives. They're claiming that because police initially stood against the LGBT community, they should be kept out of the parade.
There goes whatever hope I had left in the BLM movement. I can understand trying to get even, but this issue in particular should be left to the LGBT community itself.

I don't hate races but I hate religions.
Especially Islam is a very retarded and dangerous religion for Europe (13 November in Paris, Nizza Attack, Würzburg Attack last night, etc.)

The Crusades were pretty bad, proves Bluigi right though. It's one of those terms people throw out as if it means anything and Christians are automatically evil.
