Ok let's run with this. What certain issues do you have to deal with that makes you intolerant ?
I can tell you now that i have a very different view than i did when i was younger and lived in South West Sydney.
Me back when i lived in Fairfield witnessed the asian gangs and what they did to friends so back then i was very anti-asian. I was probably 15 or so. That didn't last long though as i had plenty of asian friends and realised that as long as you didn't cross them (gangs) they didn't give a shit about you.
Then the birth of the middle eastern migration to Fairfield and the complete racist attitude they had towards us and the threats of violence (and actual violence) just for being skippy scum. So my opinion was also anti middle eastern. These guys just hated us and this country.
That was then when i lived it.
I no longer live near Fairfield (or Smithfield where i owned my first home) and experienced its multiculturalism in full effect and it was completely unpleasant after the middle easterners took over for a white person to be there. I would still get threats even when i was in my late 20's.
I now live in north west and in a much nicer suburb that is also very multicultural but it costs a fair bit to live in and my opinion here is completely different. I can walk the streets at 10 or 11 o'clock at night (and i do) without feeling any fear, whereas in Fairfield you would get cars stopping and things thrown at you like bottles (yep, 100% happened several times) or they'd threaten to rape your wife or kill my dog.......just pleasant stuff like that.
So for me i have experienced both sides and can sympathise with the negative sides that live and breath shit everyday that multiculturalism brings in certain areas.
I am probably racist at times just like every other f**ker out there no mater how many soap boxes they stand on because in weak and heated moments we say things that a more level headed you wouldn't say or really thinks. At least i can admit it though.........i know truly racist people who actually hate people because the colour of their skin and i can't say i care for it.
I truly believe that if you are a dickhead, then the colour of your skin is irrelevant. Just because a large group of your race may be dickheads, doesn't mean one is racist, you are just speaking facts. Same as a large group of white people are dickheads.......see Charlottesville for evidence of this.
I would also like to add that the government and law makers do not help matters. Are there any police officers on here? I remember a few years ago a friend was down in the academy and he had some study material and i was reading through it. The law for Aboriginals and then everyone else was rather shocking.
If you want to create division, that is certainly the way to do it. That is not a racist view from me because i certainly am disgusted with the way we treated aboriginals in the past and white men really do make me feel physically ill and i understand why we need to show compassion. It just seems so odd that we want to treat certain people equal but then we do everything we can to treat them differently........
Anyways, i'll await the posts about how racist i am..........
