ok I had to break my commenting up. I like jokes about race. they are funny mostly cause so many stereotypes are so crazy and ridiculous. and also the ones that I guess are race jokes but they are I guess jokes only people of that race would get or sometimes even just cover all races just cause we've all know of the racism against us. really? cause I've been in rooms full of people enjoying racist jokes no awkward laughter there. but maybe that's just us. it's nice to not get mad at racism. to laugh your ass off at the stupidity of the things people have tried to used against you or to try and keep you down. it's very true though that there are more important matters that should be addressed in a serious matter. although I find it very interesting that ethnic people have started using such things against their own people. which some would say is just an other form of control over us, successful programing. an other interesting point though on that is that while a good amount of money is made of it from whatever ethnic group. even more money is made off of it from white folk. so it's weird that we keep each other down in order make money from white people.
ok I have to tell you I find it SO SO SOOOOOOOO fucking funny you used to be a racist. also I love : (i grew up in CA, so there were mexicans there) that's really funny.no sarcasm here I swear that's just really funny.ok anyway I can't imagine you being racist. also I guess it's just hard for me to imagine anybody in states like california being racist against mexicans. I mean california sure as hell could not survive with out us and mexicans need the states. most people come over here to send money to home to their families and that's it. or if you see families here it's cause they wanted their kids born in the states so they could have a better life.
yeah well I think the native american shit is like I said before you have to actually live it!! you can't just read books and know a lot of facts. I know white people who are very into native american culture but they've lived it. they've been on reses. god I hate reservations they're so depressing. but not the subject here. my point is sure you can be very much into any culture as long as you live it. but most people won't want you to just completely have that culture and forget your own. you need to respect your culture too it's very important to humans at a deep level I think. and if you seem to abandon your's well then you're not right in the head is what people think.
see you're still racist!! lol you don't like white people. oh now you seem to have a very stereotypical view on collegy suburb people! some of the loveliest people I've met are well to do college educated people. though they do seem to over react to almost any issue. but never under mine anyone's hard times sug, you never know what someone has gone through.
about being open minded
all ways go out into the world loving every single person on earth, keep on loving them till they give you a reason not to. also true class is some one who can spend time with anyone, from the poorest of the poor to the richest of the rich, with good manners, kindness and a light heart. that's all I can say on being open minded. it makes you a better person.
I once knew a nazi he was alright. that was random i know but all this made me think of it.
I'll send you a message very soon I swear. i miss you too.
lots of love
xoxo

okay maybe the laughter isn't awkward all the time i may have been exaggerating. i just think that there's still a lot of fear in those rooms (i'm thinking about the audiences to race comedians).
i think i'm a pretty serious person, i don't take jokes well, and i don't like a lot of those jokes that are, essentially, mean.
it is absolutely terrible that ethnic (and white) people have started to using things against their own "people." like when that black guy hit on me and told me all a black man wants for christmas is some chicken and a pretty white girl.
i don't know if i will ever understand why he would say something like that an perpetuate his own races' stereotypes in that way.
i think it is just another form of suppression

yeah there are no mexicans in MA, though there are puerto ricans and dominicans. i know, CA wouldn't survive, it's stupid. it's really messed up and complicated and fucked up but somehow it works
i agree with you that it's very important on a deep level that people respect their own culture.
i've always been really proud of my german heritage and i got shit for that too. it's made me angry and a myriad of other emotions all at once. but it makes me hate ignorance and i think that's also why i don't think those sort of jokes are funny (even though the ones against germans are a bit different). like i HATE nazi jokes or words that just add nazi. it's obviously not because i'm a nazi sympathizer, but it's always connected with the german people as a whole, and i'm just very very tired of it, especially when they call me a nazi or jews don't like me because i've said i'm german. my family wasn't even nazis!! i'm certainly not one! and plus, i couldn't even have been one if i WANTED to. (well i guess i still could, because there are neo-nazis, but they're always on about the past) plus they don't know what sort of situation germans were in and it is EERILY similar to what we are finding ourselves in as americans.
yeah sorry i can't get over my white guilt white hate.
WHITE LIGHT WHITE HEAT

loveeexoxoxo
