Am I right to dislike white people?

The question is - Is it justified for me to dislike whitey?

Justify -http://www.thefreedictionary.com/justified - **To demonstrate or prove to be valid**

Dislike - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dislike - **To regard with distaste**

Whitey - British or of British decent (Includes Americans but they don't play a direct part in this)

I am an Indian, Hindu, Male, 19.

Disclaimer - I do not HATE whites, or dislike them on a personal level, specially since a couple of my closest mates are white. But as an ethnicity, as a group of people.. would it be justified for me to dislike them?

This is not about just the past, what about the present. White people are making sure other white people are making it big. In the film industry, how many super famous black people do you see, compared to all the white. But, to me i think people make color the issue, they make color a reason to say on indidvidual is superior to another they give more opportunity to other races. They rejoice when toher races support stereotypes. That black people are dumb, that jewish people are greedy,

I honestly dont like people, we are so corrupt to hate and show bigotry are what we live to do. What about the curriculum of predomenately black schools vs. white. I am black but go to a white school, and my family go to black schools and they tell me that nobody cares about what they do and give little options. In my school they have 4 levels of cooking classes, they have accounting classes, tons of clubs to join, teachers that care. What also notice is that my teachers allow the black kids more freedom to misbehave and act a fool, but they make sure that their white children are acting prim and proper. Yes, you have the right to dislike any race, person or religion but hate and acting on hate is a totally different thing.

Well, I see a lot of white people in the film industry, but they're mostly Jewish. I'd agree that Asians are underrepresented in entertainment. I don't think it's okay (oh, I'm sorry, you asked "right") to dislike white people because they are the only majority population of a country that has ever bent over backwards so much for minorities. Other races from all over the world travel to America so they can live amongst and bitch about the white man. The white man plays thought police and mutes himself, suppressing history to hide the fact that most colonist slaves were white and that Africans owned white slaves before the trade even traveled to America (Hoffman). If one white man tries to defend himself, other white men shut him up, calling it "hate speech" and removing his feedom of expression. Some white men even call it hate speech to quote crime statistics, at which last count black men killed whites at a rate of 22 times the rate whites killed blacks (FBI's October Uniform Crime Reports of 1993, cited pg. 294 of "Why Race Matters" by Michael Levin). Through government programs and scholarships, there's already an annual white to black transfer of wealth in the billions, yet whites quake when blacks speak of reparations for an institution of slavery that whites suffered as well, and evidence indicates more (both). You dislike white people cause you perpetually think they owe you more, and I dislike them for refusing to learn their own heritage, including their own sufferings. Anyway, should they ever decide to, Charles Dickens wrote Oliver Twist, a story about an orphan in a workhouse who narrowly escapes becoming a chimney sweep (which deformed or killed 4-year-old boys, yet they still had to beg in the streets for food). If Scrooge's question "Are there no workhouses?" has them wondering what a workhouse is, they can read the following: "They Were White and They Were Slaves: The Untold History of the Enslavement of Whites in Early America" by Michael A. Hoffman II, "White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain's White Slaves in America" by Don Jordan and Michael Walsh, and "The White Slave: Another Picture of Slave Life in America" by Richard Hildreth. Here are some interesting links:

Also, your white school sounds like no public school I've ever heard of. If you are comparing public and private school, rest assured most whites attend public. My high school certainly wasn't as privileged as yours! If this is a public school, first of all - where? and second, that's such a major violation of the constitution that you've got a multi-million dollar lawsuit on your hands. Write to John Quinones at MSNBC and report it. He'll be at your doorstep in a heartbeat, so I expect to see your situation on TV soon.

"In the film industry, how many super famous black people do you see, compared to all the white."- in the United States, there are a lot more white people than black people, therefore the amount of white superstars would be greater than black superstars.

"you have the right to dislike any race, person or religion"- That is a different issue. You may have the right to do something, but does that mean it is right? No. People can say whatever they want because of free speech, but does that mean everything that people say is good? Not at all. It is not right for you to dislike someone that you don't even know.

However without a strong basis of reasoning it is kind of pointless to dislike someone based on the color of their skin.

Unless of course you are talking about the race as a whole, see I'm Mexican and I dislike black people. However I have plenty of black friends, but I'd have plenty more if they would all act like the friends I have. So I like some black people, just not nearly all.

I dislike whitey because everything is a strategy, how can I keep my satus quo. I know how! Says whitey. by getting my people to come over from other countries and take the hard working American jobs and give them to my relatives. While we Americans have to just sit still and trust our government to get us out of the mess they put us in the first place.

I don't see what skin tone has to do in measuring a person's character (Martin Luther King).

But I'll tell you one thing, we are all the same in physiological and anatomical structure!

It's not right to dislike a group based on something they cannot control. It's okay to dislike the way that white skin looks, I suppose; that's just an aesthetic preference. But to dislike white people because of their skin is wrong, because they cannot control it, and because what is on the outside of someone does not determine their worth.

In a way, I kind of understand the negative views/feelings towards white people. I have read history books written by non-whites and learned a lot about the race that I belong to. White people have tried to dominate the world, basically, throughout history. White people even subjugated and enslaved other white people. I am of Irish decent and the Irish were discriminated against by the British and, when they came to US, the Americans.

There were signs posted at public establishments, such as restaurants and pubs, that read No Irish Allowed. Employers refused to hire them because they were viewed as "lazy and drunkards". The only fields that were really open to the Irish in the US were those invovling public service such as firemen and policemen. That was because they were dangerous jobs and didn't pay well. They were considered like 2nd class white people.

But I have relatives that are non-white including cousins that are of Latino and African decent. I was taught by my parents to judge people based on their character and not skin color, religion, etc. I have passed that lesson to my own children. With each generation comes a new understanding, as long as parents are willing to teach their children respect for all human beings.

In conclusion, I think with all the communication tools we have available to us, all people should be able to find some understanding about the people and cultures that surround them. They should be able to see that there are good and bad people in every race.

I would say not. Just like it would be wrong for me (an American, of European descent) to say I disliked Chinese people for communism, Indian people for pollution, African-Americans for living in socio-economic constraints, it is wrong for you to dislike a people for decisions not their own.

You could dislike past decisions of the English government, potentially. You could dislike corrupt officials, oppressive systems, etc. However, disliking the people is racist, and probably inaccurate. You seem to dislike policy decisions of a government, instead.

Side: No
Kinda(1649) Disputed
1 point

I don't hate policy decisions of a government.

I'm looking at it from a birds eye POV. When I judge the Brits, you look at them now, their past and how they got here. I'm looking at it from my side. When you judge peoples (i.e. whites, blacks, browns etc.), you judge them as a whole... from their politics, technology, policies, laws, economy etc. everything, past and present.

So... as a Indian Hindu, looking at all of those things, should I not have reason to dislike them?

Difference with saying you dislike Chinese for communism etc. is that there wasn't terrible unjust and immoral acts done against your people. That's the biggest difference. However you're only looking at one thing. I'm looking at it all. I have reason to dislike the Chinese.. Pakistanis etc. You're telling me you think it's justifiable for me to dislike Pakistan but not Britain???

Britain, yes. White people, no. The policy decisions of BRITAIN< yes- just like you can hate the policy decisions of Pakistan. however, putting out a blanket statement is stupid, shortsighted, and pointless. Not all Britons are the same, just like not all Indians, Pakistanis, Americans, or Chinese people are the same.

I'm American, by-the-by, which i think i mentioned before, but that's not really the point here (other than I'm not, in fact, British).

Also, past and present behaviors aren't the same. Policy, culture, and viewpoints change of a half-century, and it's unfair to judge a nation on past deeds. For instance, i might call all Indians terrible people for enforcing a rigid and unjust caste sytem- but that wouldn't necessarily be fair. Because I think that social inequality is important, should I hate all people from India? No, because that would be idiotic.

Disliking is a negative value judgment, which can turn into aggression. By lumping people into such vast categories as race, gender or ethnicity you simply show your own prejudice, and you are imprisoned by it, your perspective being skin deep.

But as a group.... they are.

The ideologies and general culture of white-skinned people is different for different groups/ locations. I don't think you've interacted with every group of white people. As such, you probably shouldn't discriminate against a white person on the basis of their skin exclusively.

It may be a general indicator of their social upbringing if you can ascertain where they grew up and correlate that to the personalities of white people in a specific area (with a large enough sample). That applies to everyone, of course, but if you've (hypothetically) found that you dislike all white people in a certain area, well... you know. Go nuts.
