Anything "racist" in reaper's post?
depends how you define a racist:
is it only a pale skinned person who can be called a racist?
or is a racist one who is intolerant or overly critical of another race, and skin colour has nothing to do with it?
if so, reaper's comments and generalisation about south africans is racist.
it seems that there is an outcry and accusations of racism only if the race-group being criticized is a dark skinned one.
i often wonder why racist comments by blacks are ignored, even condoned, when anything remotely critical of a black man or generalisation aimed at black people results in a torrent of accusations of racism. i don't see americans,germans, australians or kiwis on this forum or elsewhere complaining about racist jokes and generalisations aimed at them, but let there be a black man involved..............
i know that reaper's post was made toungue-in-cheek, and my reply was in the same vein, but it has been insinuated by some posters that i am a racist, and the questions i have just raised are valid.
