Most Racist Place? The Internet.

Anonymity is the best shield for the racist. Obviously, the majority of racists are cowards. They aren’t the grand old racists of days past like your grandparents who openly use racial slurs in casual conversation. People now have been trained in political correctness to act as if they aren’t really racist. The internet is another story. It takes racism to the extreme, and also takes Political Correctness and racial defense to another level.
Many would argue that everyone is racist to some degree. Either be it from experience in life, or how races are treated by the media government, etc. drilling into their subconscious. The world is so politically correct now that it almost seems that political correctness has become backhanded racism. For anyone that doesn’t understand that just think about it. Calling attention to someone’s race, or ethnicity rather than who they are as a person is just as bad, if not worse, since people that do it actually believe they are doing it out of respect. Why is it that when say a black guy accomplishes something they have to tell us he is black, or the “first black person to…”? Completely unnecessary, and it just continues to fuel the need to label races rather than pat a guy on the back for just doing a good job. IT just continues the sub-conscious thought process of viewing everyone through a racial prism rather than as individuals that are different based on who they are, and not what color they are.
Sorry, this went a totally different direction than I thought it would when I started this topic. The second I start thinking about Political Correctness I get pissed off and have to rant about it.
Anyways, not sure what to talk about now as I completely changed my mind on what I wanted to say. The whole point was to talk about how much more racist people were online than the real world, but I think that anyone reading this already knows that if they are racist in any way. The internet is a place where you can just spew out whatever you are thinking without having to filter it because there is very little reason to worry about the consequences. Political correctness has done nothing more than make people give pause to their natural instincts for fear of being called on it (ie. racists are cowards). In the end it breeds sub-conscious hate, and doesn’t bring forth REAL discussion out in tho the open.
So…yeah…this went totally a different direction, but I posted it anyway. I’m going to cuddel up in my new electric blanket and get of the computer

In all honesty, most of the “Internet racists” are harmless, but in fact people sick of being muzzled in the real world because the apparatchiks “who know what is best for everybody” or Else! have made it a crime to notice certain co-relations between culture and race. On the other hand, judging someone by their race first is lazy and often wrong.
Good points, and I agree. PC world is beyond tolerating now. Easy to take frustrations out online anon. Internet helps fuel it and I suppose you could argue that it allows people to get it out and then go about living harmless lives offline. Sure some only increase their hatred with the online rhetoric, but just about everyone has racist thoughts at times. Internet just doesn’t make them filter it
