Is this Racism?

Josh W · #1 04-28-2005, 03:38 AM

I'm one of those people who think that the term "racism" gets thrown around a lot more than it should. Of course, I am in no way saying that there isn't too much racism these days.

But I dunno about the following situation(s)...do you guys think it is racist or not?

First case: You are single, but want to get married. You will only consider people who are the same race as you.

Second case: You are single, but want to get married. You will consider all races except for one specific race.

Racist or not?

Depends on your reasonings, not just your actions.

I think both are racist.

However the second case is more racist than the first.

I think the better question is, is it wrong? Of course not. Who cares what you call it.
