Japan finds humor at the expense of westerners.
There’s a growing fad among Japanese novelty shops and variety television shows. This is dressing up like a “gaijin” (foreigner) and acting like one by donning a large fake nose, bushy wigs (and sometimes beards) then speaking in loud, broken and poor English. A few examples of the types of items can be seen here and here.…

I'm going out on a limb here people, but bear with me...
Reverse racism, in actuality, shouldn't even be a term... It's described as the act of racism against a majority (typically used in context of whites). But...isn't that just plain old regular racism? Last time I checked, Caucasian WAS a race. And I'm willing to bet that any other majority suffering from "reverse racism" is a race too. So why isn't it just racism? Why give it a fancy new term? If you wanted to take the literal definition, reverse racism would actually be the opposite: supporting a race as equal to another. Just a thought.

Hombre del Confederación:
I think reverse racism, strictly speaking, ought to refer more to the practice of supporting another's race as superior to one's own.
What you define it as is simply the attitude of most normal thinking people.
BTW, congratulations on growing up significantly since your moronic comment of two days ago.

It used to be that racism was picking on the minorities, on those that weren't white, but in this day and age that has changed a lot. In peterborough a few weeks ago, a group of aisans killed a white boy while his girlfriend ran for help. the police say that it wasn't a racist attack. If it had been the other way around, and a group of white boys had killed an asian, then it would be a rascist attack. racism works both ways. blacks can be just as racist as whites. but because of years of white supremacy everyone has to pretend that it doesn't exist. Children insult their teachers in their languages and the teachers don't know what is being said. Gangs of aisans beat up white people and vice versa. If the police tried to do something about black racism toward whites, they would be accused of being racist, but not if it was the other way around. i am not saying that there isn't racism towards ethnic minorities, of course there is, but there is also racism towards white people that needs to be accepted and dealt with, too. people are people. no one is better than anyone else. is a black cat better or worse than a white one? of course not. they are both cats. we are all people. we should live and let live. racism is disgusting. there is no excuse for it. we are all people. no matter how we look, what we believe, we are all people and like animals have a right to live.
330 - fuck you all
to all the "nigga brothers" out there: you fucks should be grateful white people brought your sorry asses to america and tought you to work, or you'd still be spreading aids and dancing around with goat skulls in fucking africa. zimbabwe sent out all the white people back to britain and a few weeks later they started asking for "£2 a month" cos they cant do anything on their own, but its the fucking government who pass stupid laws like "affirmative action" towards minorities, they encourage racism against whites

There are a bunch of white poeple out there who think that racism cannot exist against whites, these are the people who incite racial hatred more than any other, because they refuse to see the truth and then the problem escalates. Unfortunately these people are in power and invite any old tom Dick and Harry to swing the vote.
Intergrating communities that are different cultrally and expecting them to live in peace is like dowsing yourself in pertrol whilst holding a lit match and hoping you won't go up in flames.
And yes racism against whites does exist. It's a case of 'my bro's were treated like shit because of yo great great grandad' or in the case of Muslims, we are just plane old infidels all are pityful excuses to justify outright racism. And in the case of the slave trade why don't the blacks just attack the high class because I'll be damned if a white poor person who lived in rancid shack could afford a servant, infact white poor people were servants too so they can stuff their servant crap.
To this day ALL people from backgrounds who happened to be poor were and have always been TREATED LIKE SHIT regardless of colour and that is a fact!
And as for integration, it is completely normal for a human being to stay within their own race. If black/asian people want their communities there's nothing wrong with this as long as they don't start blowing up buildings and terrorising races and cultures different to their own and no one has the right to make fun of customs that are harmless but different to their own. People stick to what they are familiar with and this should not be seen as offensive but just a normal way of life.
And Why should anyone have to intergrate if they don't want to? People should be free to choose whom they mix with, it shouldn't be forced upon anyone and no one should live in fear of being white, black or any other colour.
And lets be honest guys, we cannot live along side each other in peace if we have people like Abdul Hamza shouting 'death to the west' can we now? They hide behind religious philosophies to disguise the fact that they are racist they hide behind the excuse of the slave trade to hide that fact they are racists.
And we are NOT all the same, we are individuals from all walks of life and that is why people fight about differences of opinion and that is why multicultralism won't work.

It is true, racism against whites happens every day. I grew up in a black neighborhood where black girls waylaid me on the way to school all the time and beat me up for being white. I had to endure constant insults from black girls and black teachers who looked the other way or constantly discriminated against me in class. I grew up extremely poor, moved around alot, and everywhere I went almost all blacks were RICHER THEN ME. When I got into college I had to endure a black professor who SAID that she sometimes let her black students get away with cheating and would grade them higher. Of course all the white kids had to sit there in silence. But can you EVEN IMAGINE the HELL that would be raised if a white women had said that about her white students? Racism is now sanctioned by the government and the thousand and one affirmative action type laws that create a thousand and one oppurtunites for blacks and leave whites to scramble along on their own. AKA scholorships, ect. Why can't there be any scholorships for whites? Do they think none of US are poor or struggling to make ends meet? If anyone has to work harder in todays society it's WHITES. Black people just don't realize how little it even occurs to white people to be RACIST and take every little normal person to person action and turn it into a personal insult. COME ON, do they think we have NOTHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT BUT HOW MUCH WE HATE BLACK PEOPLE? GET A LIFE, NOBODY GIVES A CRAP ABOUT IT ANYMORE BUT BLACK PEOPLE!!

to fuck you all you whites did not bring blacks into america but black slaves.

I want to say something. I, as a white person, could easily parade around and say "I'm a minority" because my ancestors were gassed and burned alive in the Holocaust. What about us Jewish folks? Also, what about my Irish and English ancestors who were slaves and servants that ended 200 years ago?? My 8th great grandparents were Irish slaves forced to build fences and bridges all over the state of Kentucky. And do we or anyone else bitch about it??? NO Because I AM NOT A SLAVE MYSELF. So quit whining about how you've been mistreated: whether you're white, black, hispanic, asian, german, irish, english. The world is a MUCH MUCH better place with way better opporunities than it was for our ancestors. I bet you: If our ancestors came back from the gave and saw how everyone's whining about "me me me!" they'd have a sh*t fit! But did our ancestors ever complain about how they'd been mistreated back in the day?? NO because they knew they had to put food on the damn table to feed their families. We should be so lucky to know we can have cars, food, luxery homes, trendy clothing, and new shoes every so often. So stop bitching about how bad you all have it and START LIVING for the moment.

One contributor points out that he - a white man - suffered racism for being of Portuguese origin in Jersey.
Trust me, folks - I can believe him. I also had the misfortune of being born in Jersey to Portuguese parents and, yes, I also suffered discrimination. It reached the point that people in St.Helier(my home town) used to give me such derisory looks that I almost felt like emulating Hispanics in the U.S. by sporting a T-shirt that read "DON'T PANIC, I'M ACTUALLY CAUCASIAN!"
I also sympathise with black African immigrants and what they suffer in Europe because, to a certain extent, I actually felt black when I was living in Jersey, or at least a kind of sub-caucasian group, into which you could also throw Spaniards, Italians,Greeks,Turks,Slavs,Irish,Jews and Arabs.
As for the Portuguese community, they actually make life difficult for us second generation by trying to force us into being like them, instead of allowing us to try to integrate
My solution was to leave the island. I am now happily living in East Kent on the Mainland of Great Britain where I am well-integrated and respected as British. In order to suffer less racism, especially less discrimination in the employment market, I anglicised my name within days of arriving here - something that would not have been possible in Jersey...

yea, well i will never anglicize my name because i am not anglo saxon. not that there sanything wrong with it but i am NOT. i am iberian from iberia which means "the land of the hebrews" and im portuguese, i have my language and my history an my heritage and i wont change or hide a damn thing. i was already given an english first name like hell i will change the others.
two of some of the most intelligent comments came from a black person who said there is no such thing as a white race.
you can be like all the other stupid pork chops that want to fit in and pretend like your just another so called european, named after a pagan goddess, wanting to be white when being portuguese is not good enough and so called caucasian which is just a BS name given to the so called european race because some german thought that the people in the caucus region were the most attractive he had ever seen and used the name because he wanted to be associated with them for their beauty, and like many stupid pork chops are even embarrassed to say theyre portuguese here in the usa - but i never hesitate!
youre an embarrassment. to change your name to fit in and be acceptable to the jackasses around you. youre a citizen and should act and behave as one where you are, but to hide who you are and change your name - you are a filthy disgusting disgrace and shamefully stupid.
you dont deserve the name you changed.
have a nice day british man.

That's stupid. Just because white people handle racism and stereotyping without getting all angry or offended doesn't mean that racism against white people doesn't exist. As a white person, I think that white jokes just don't matter to us because we are generally more relaxed about our race than others. Being relaxed could be because of our numbers, but it might not be.
I live in an area in California where whites are in the minority (well, there's no place in CA where we're not, but you get the idea). Still, though, people of other races are insecure and get offended when anything remotely racially inclined is said and bad things happen to the white people who say those things.

dsd, you make me sick. i'm the poisonous one? i'm the one out screaming for mass murder? i'm the devil's spawn? can't you hear yourself? not one person here has screamed for mass racial annhihalation but you. 99.99% are racist? seriously? oh, and if you're gonna quote the bible and its history... get it right. the bible tells us to love our enemies not hate them. it tells us that the jews are God's chosen people not the whites. we are the Gentiles. every other people in the world who are not jews are the gentiles and every single one of them are taught to follow the same rules of loving our enemies. and the first book in the new testament was written 40 years after Jesus' death not 400. And Jesus will come in on a horse, with a sword and as a warrior in the second coming. and one more thing before i stop this christian "deception" as you would put it, Jesus wasn't black, he was jewish, born in Nazareth which at the time was in Isreal. us "blue-eyed devils" are not deluded into thinking he was blond and blue like us.
second point, we're blowing up Iraq and Iran? if i'm not mistaken, haven't the majority of the people who've been killed, been killed by a suicide bomber of their own country? 99.99% of us may be racist or so you think, but at least we aren't showing our racism by blowing up our own countrymen. you celebrated 9/11? you celebrate the death of 3000 people? if you were alive during that time would you have celebrated the deaths of the millions of jews killed in the holocaust? Every time i hear of mass killings or bombings it makes me want to cry it hurts so much. i don't know those people, but somebody did. that was someones father, or mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, someones everything. but yet you cheer. who cares they aren't your superior race, they're the children of the devil right?
and one last thing, going back to one of your earlier comments... the "white" house is called the white house because it is white. the house is made of white stone. the white supremicist secret government is planning to kill the world? no offense... no wait, yes offense intended, the matrix called... they want you back. so does your therapist. anger management classes would work wonders too. i understand anger. i also understand hatred. both hurt. but they hurt you more than the person you are aiming them at.
And i'm gonna risk all of my credibility right now to everyone on this site, but i have to do what i can to reveal you to the world, even though you are doing a pretty good job yourself. I've met the devil. i've heard his poison whispered in my ear, i've even been possessed by him for a short period of time. i've seen demons that would have most people curling into a ball and dying of fright or have them screaming in their deepest nightmares, and i can honestly say, i have never, in my life, recognized another demon in possession of another person, until i heard you speak. and for the comment editor... this is not a personal attack, so please don't delete... all i can say is, Satan, i see you under all of dsd's anger and hatred, i see you, and i pray that God will strike fast and hard and release dsd from your poison so he can know peace at last.
So now that everyone thinks i'm a looney, i'm leaving in peace. I am white, I am Canadian, I am a Christian, I am a woman, I am proud, and I am NOT a devil.
340 - fuck dsd
dsd im assuming ur british... i was just reading this for a project about prejudice and i actually became interested in the beef you have with everybody else on the board. i was amused at how racist u were, and a little angered but not enough to write on here myself. not until u said u "celebrated on 9/11". i am a new yorker and i was there on that day. i dont know who the fuck u think u r [personal attack deleted], but thats worse than racist, thats disrepectful on so many levels and if i knew who u were id have my foot up ur ass right now. [personal attack deleted] if u got something to say get at me and we can settle it like men. saying u celebrated on 9/11, i bet u laughed when u learned about the Holocaust in school. [personal attack deleted]

No need to worry the white empire has collapsed.
All this selfish trading between the white man countries has burst. The bubble just got bigger and bigger and burst. China and India will become superpowers and no one will even look at you people again.
The western greed knows NO limits they want to scoff at everything. And act partially good by letting in immigrants in their so called utopia built on greed. But wait we must make sure the anglo-saxon controls everything!
Welcome to the third world.

Of cousre it exists...
On a more Society as a whole level - within media, Govts. etc etc racism is far more against white people - it's VERY MUCH an Elephant in the Room though.
I can't say whatever I want - but anyone else seems to be able to say whatever against me.
When blacks use the whole "My people were slaves thing - by whites" - it's the most racist, hypocritical doublethinking shit I ever hear.
Not only were blacks taking blacks as slaves within Africa - but it was FAR, FAR more to do with culture, and percieved stupidity than actual race - that was just THE common denominator.
SERIOUSLY generalising (I can take a joke) white men of today - or even the ones back then - is racist. Not only because it simply is, but because I wouldn't have the RIGHT within overall society to do the same thing to any other race.
I could go on and on...
Racism against white people is accepted, that's the difference - which is what makes society EXTRA racist...

Okay, I'm Caucasian and I believe that racism exists and happens to all races. Anyway, just because my ancestors wronged the African-Americans, Native Americans, and Mexicans back before my Parents were even born you shouldn't get mad at me. Also, who sold the African-American slaves to the Americans? But, I know that there are still white people who make fun of and are racist to black people and that is WRONG. But, so is the reverse.
To:DSD108,
You sir are an imbecile, in my opinion anyway. You think you are better than me and other non-whatever your race is just because of your color. Let me ask you a question...What if you were White?
BTW, I always wanted to be mixed race, it seemed like a cool thing to have characteristics from other countries.
Let me ask everyone who think that they are better than others a question. What if you were them?

Hey RUFUS.White Americans will apologize When African-Americans APOLOGIZE for the MILLIONS of Rwandans,Tutsi,Hutu, Nigerian,Darfur,Oman,Somali,Sierra Leon, KILLED every day by AFRICANS!!!!!!! The worst genocide in the world happens in AFRICA by AFRICANS!!!!!!! Oh thats not your fault. Well neither is what happened years ago or even 50 years ago. I suffer more discrimination as a white man today than blacks do and yet you probably think its only fair right. You black nationalist racist. Why dont you just start beheading white people and take white slaves? Maybe then you can get the FUCK over it!!!
