Are Only American-Whites Capable of Racism and Intolerance?

I wrote this post a while back in response to the popular notion that Americans (white Americans) “mold” every person that decides to immigrate to the US into doing things the “All-American-White-Way” in that we train immigrants to be obnoxious, obese, racists, stupid, and greedy.

I must say, I’m increasingly getting sick and tired of people accusing American-whites left, right, and center of being “racist”. It infuriates me that just because of the color of my skin and where I was born (had no control over that, by the way), I am assumed to automatically be a “racist”. Interestingly enough, the African Americans are nowhere near as noisy about “racism” as the “cultural elitist” white population in Canada or Europe… who have never stepped foot in the US. And if someone can tell me how Caucasians are “oppressing” the blacks in the US, I’d really love to know. Yes, I’m aware that hate crimes exist. Yes, I’m aware that racism STILL exists in America. Yes, I feel that it’s wrong. But coming from Americanophobic Canadians and Europeans who claim to have the “upper hand” on “worldly matters” are nothing more than *clueless* as to what truly is both going on in the states and in other countries (including their own) abroad.

My friends, it’s “Guilt by Association” – just for being White (…and living in the US). Let me start off with this video:

Notice, from watching this video, how other racist groups in the past and present get a “free pass”? Notice how they’re conveniently ignored?

Here’s what the “know-it-alls” DON’T know: Having lived in California for 5 years, I noticed tension between the Mexicans and the blacks. There are both black gangs and Mexican gangs. They kill each other A LOT in California. A black person cannot join a Mexican gang and visa versa. But the friction appears to come more so from the Mexicans. And no, I’m not saying ALL Mexicans. I’m saying that there are a lot of Mexicans who don’t like African Americans. Period. It’s a reality. And it’s a reality unheard of in both Canada and in Europe. And even if it were to be “heard of”, it would be conveniently ignored. As Erik Svane said,

If you’re not harmed by an American, your suffering doesn’t count.

On a message board called, “Why Mexicans and Salvadorians Hate Black People“, I read some interesting comments:

My parent are italians born in brazil. I was born in chicago but I lived in texas for 10 years in a area populated in majority by mexicans. I notice that Mexicans have more préjudice toward African american than whites.

I know many puertorican and they have less prejudice toward blacks than mexican have.The more indian looking they are and the more they are racist.

This surprise me because for me, mexican are not far of the color of black people.

And another one:

I’m always amused when people who are utterly focused on whites finally see that minorities hate each other. Ask a black man what life is like in China or Japan. Ask a latino what life is like in a black neighborhood. Ask an Arab what he thinks about any of them.

And one more:

If you lived in America you would know that the racist blacks have shown their hatred to all people different to them and this includes koreans, indians, and chinese which are also here in big nummbers. When you think of racism the truth is black and non-black.

What is the reality? There are two realities that we ALL must face:

1. Racism is wrong.
2. Racism is not specific to the White-American “culture”.

Wake up, people.

I know some people are uncomfortable with Fox News thinking that it’s ALL biased, just look at the “related videos” off to the lower right hand side of the screen and see for yourself that there are BOATLOADS of “Mexican vs Black” videos all over the place. It’s overwhelming.

Clearly, if Obama doesn’t win the presidential election, I will be expecting all the Americanophobic crowds to conveniently accuse the “Evil White Americans” for being “too racist” (ironically enough) to vote in Obama. Anyone want to place bets? …But is it only the racist whities that won’t vote him in? Read this, and think again.

(To reiterate this to the PC-Police: NO, and NO. This is not about all Mexicans and all blacks. But you cannot deny the tension is THERE. This is what I’m pointing out.)

To continue,… I’m one of those people who felt that former President Vicente Fox in Mexico was being a bit racist when he said the following:

“Mexicans are doing the jobs that not even blacks want to do.”

Racism has decreased dramatically in the US compared to the past. In fact, we even have Affirmative Action in place designed to give minorities not only a chance, but in rather many instances, a benefit above white people. But let’s have a look at what some are saying about Europe:

(sic) Some of the best football (soccer) players in the world have been victims of racial slurrs and other racially motivated actions at recent soccer games. European crowds curse at the African players, and even throw bananas on the field, calling them “monkeys”. A Spanish coach told his players to “Show that black peice of shit that you’re better than him”, referring to an African player on the team. Here in the United States, such widespread racism in sports does not exist. Do European forer@s see these racist acts as “the norm”? Why are European nations so comfortable with this blunt racism? Of course, these actions do not represent the entire continent of Europe, only a select few who choose to act this way and show racial retaliation. Basically: all Europeans aren’t racists…but it seems like a lot are.

What about when Americans travel abroad to either Europe or Canada? They are judged SOLELY on their skin color and American accent. Hispanics and blacks come home from Canada or Europe with hardly any complaints whereas Americans-whites – many of them come back home to the US with horror stories of having been spat at, punched, beaten up, taunted, told off, ignored, and the list goes on.

Americanophobes say “they are tolerant and ‘care’ about others”, I say that they’re hypocrites and more than likely, LESS tolerant than Americans. We are MUCH more diverse, anyway.

Americanophobes say they are more intelligent than Americans, I say they are no more educated, bitter, and incapable of making solid arguments than Americans.

Americanophobes say that they are “nice people”, I say that they are no more rude, loud, and obnoxious than Americans.

Americanophobes embrace Islamic Fundamentalism under code of “multiculturalism” (pseudo-multiculturalism?), I say that they’re liars as they don’t extend the same respect toward Judaism and Christianity.

Americanophobia is probably one of the lowest life forms that exist when you look at their lack of intelligence, education, knowledge of history, world affairs, geography, tolerance, manners, open-mindedness, fairness, humanitarianism, attitude, peacefulness, social graces, knowledge of anthropology, sociology, and psychology. Maybe, …. just maybe we Americans might open up an ear to you regarding your “refined” ideas on politics and life-style if you FIRST come clean of your own short comings.

If you ask me, I think that foreigners get treated better in the US as opposed to how Americans get treated abroad. Since when have we ever burned one of your flags? Just look around you… and read.

Perhaps a dialogue similar to this is best when an American travels to Canada or Europe:

Q: Are you American?

A: I am a human being.

Q: Seriously, where are you from?

A: Planet Earth

By the way….. how come none of you Americanophobic Canadians and Europeans aren’t protesting about the racism going on in Japan right now? Aren’t you those very same people that really “care” about the less fortunate of the world? Or are you too busy working on “the Americans”?

Japan racism ‘deep and profound’
By Chris Hogg
BBC News, Tokyo

An independent investigator for the UN says racism in Japan is deep and profound, and the government does not recognise the depth of the problem.

Doudou Diene, a UN special rapporteur on racism and xenophobia, was speaking at the end of a nine-day tour of the country.

He said Japan should introduce new legislation to combat discrimination.

Mr Diene travelled to several Japanese cities during his visit, meeting minority groups and touring slums. He said that although the government helped to organise his visit, he felt many officials failed to recognise the seriousness of the racism and discrimination minorities suffered.

He was also concerned that politicians used racist or nationalist themes, as he put it, to whip up popular emotions. He singled out the treatment of ethnic Koreans and Chinese and indigenous tribes. Mr Diene says he plans to recommend that Japan enact a law against discrimination, which he said should be drawn up in consultation with minority groups. He said he would now wait for the Japanese government to respond to his comments before submitting a report to the United Nations.

I found this here. And you can read a blog post that I created about 3 years ago on this topic here.

Are you SURE America’s the most racist country in the world?
