Well, isn't that bullshi.t.
If I was to call an African-American and Ni.ga. That is racis.m. Yet if a African-American was to call me "white trash" than that isn't? No. Wrong.
Everyone these days takes racis.m too far. Nothing can be said without it being "racis.t"
Now, I have nothing against any race, but if they are going to come into my country illegally, make my country pay taxes so they can live a carefree life here. And then have my dad work 12 hour shifts, slaving himself, so he can bring enough money home for my family to live. as well as giving so much of his pay to the government so they can give that money to someone who has came here illegally. that is bullsh.it. If they want to come here, they can apply, if they don't get in, too bad. If your country is having problems, don't run away to mine, because in the end, you are just bringing them all here.
Any illegal immigrant should be deported, not rewarded.

White trash is classist and prejudiced, but not r4cist. R4cism = system of oppression. You, as a white person, were never oppressed. However, as a woman, you were. You can act as an oppressor or the oppressed.
You act as if illegal immigrants come to America and just sit around on their /es all day. That is the least of it.

"That isn't r.acism, it's just predjudice" are you kidding me? Have you seen the DEFINITION of r.acism? White trash is considered r.acist. White is a race in case you didn't know. Anything negative said about any race, which includes white, is considered r.acist. You're one of those ignorant people who think too much about their race and think they have it so hard compared to someone that is white, because you can't be r.acist towards a "white" person. Even though that is completely wrong. People just let it slid when it's blacks/mexicans/asians/etc making r.acial comments about white people, but everyone gets so bent out of shape at a joke quote that mentions NO RACE. A tag is "r.acistjoke"? Uhm, seeing as white is a race, she could have been talking about white immigrants. Which in your eyes that doesn't count as r.acism so you wouldn't have any problem with that anyway. There are white slurs, and bad stuff said about white people all the time, too. Does anyone make a big deal out of that? No. It's fine and dandy when a race brings up every stereotype of a white person and uses it for comedy, but is it okay to bring up a stereotype about someone of a different race for comedy? Apparently not. Get over yourself, r.acism isn't just aimed at one group of people, it's everywhere.
And another thing- you said white people benefit from their race, uh... how so exactly? I can't play a "race card" to make my life easier. I can't apply to college and say "oh hey, I'm white" and be instantly more appealing to that college. Plus there are colleges specifically FOR black people, where's my specific "white college"? OH WAIT, there isn't one because it'd be "R.ACIST" to exclude blacks and other races, but huh I guess it's a-okay to exclude the "crackers" look at that.
and here, the DEFINITION of r.acism since you're clearly lacking that information.
R.acism- Noun:
1. The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as...
2. Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.

But clearly when I see it I'm going to think of my own country. As already stated no race was selected out, just like no country.
And no maybe not, but neither do the people in England. And at the end of it, it comes down to either do those tough jobs or don't moan about immigration - people tend to pick one side.
I'm not going to continue arguing about it because I have stuff to do, but your logic is quite flawed. It's not r4cist.

I'm not even from America. I'm from England and we have an increasing problem with illegal immigrants. "Jobs no one else wants to do" - In England and Britain we have a huge unemployment problem, so actually people would be happy to do whatever job they could get. Oh and I am in no means ignorant.

Well, this thread is centered around immigration in the United States.
Despite that, the US too has an unemployment problem, but no US citizen actually want to go out and pick fruits, do they? No US citizen wants to go out and perform tough labor (construction, for example), do they?

But clearly when I see it I'm going to think of my own country. As already stated no race was selected out, just like no country.
And no maybe not, but neither do the people in England. And at the end of it, it comes down to either do those tough jobs or don't moan about immigration - people tend to pick one side.
I'm not going to continue arguing about it because I have stuff to do, but your logic is quite flawed. It's not r4cist.

The thing is though, you're visibly white. At the end of the day, you could tell people you're just white and you could end all the prejudices right there. And, at the end of the day, you still reap the benefits of the founding fathers.
I cannot strip myself of my color.
I'm not going to erase the trauma you've received because of your Romani ancestry, however I do want to note to you that it does not stop you from still being an oppressor in the US.

Well, isn't that bullshi.t.

Everyone these days takes racis.m too far. Nothing can be said without it being "racis.t"
Now, I have nothing against any race, but if they are going to come into my country illegally, make my country pay taxes so they can live a carefree life here. And then have my dad work 12 hour shifts, slaving himself, so he can bring enough money home for my family to live. as well as giving so much of his pay to the government so they can give that money to someone who has came here illegally. that is bullsh.it. If they want to come here, they can apply, if they don't get in, too bad. If your country is having problems, don't run away to mine, because in the end, you are just bringing them all here.
Any illegal immigrant should be deported, not rewarded.

You act as if illegal immigrants come to America and just sit around on their /es all day. That is the least of it.

on quote 6785507
"That isn't r.acism, it's just predjudice" are you kidding me? Have you seen the DEFINITION of r.acism? White trash is considered r.acist. White is a race in case you didn't know. Anything negative said about any race, which includes white, is considered r.acist. You're one of those ignorant people who think too much about their race and think they have it so hard compared to someone that is white, because you can't be r.acist towards a "white" person. Even though that is completely wrong. People just let it slid when it's blacks/mexicans/asians/etc making r.acial comments about white people, but everyone gets so bent out of shape at a joke quote that mentions NO RACE. A tag is "r.acistjoke"? Uhm, seeing as white is a race, she could have been talking about white immigrants. Which in your eyes that doesn't count as r.acism so you wouldn't have any problem with that anyway. There are white slurs, and bad stuff said about white people all the time, too. Does anyone make a big deal out of that? No. It's fine and dandy when a race brings up every stereotype of a white person and uses it for comedy, but is it okay to bring up a stereotype about someone of a different race for comedy? Apparently not. Get over yourself, r.acism isn't just aimed at one group of people, it's everywhere.
And another thing- you said white people benefit from their race, uh... how so exactly? I can't play a "race card" to make my life easier. I can't apply to college and say "oh hey, I'm white" and be instantly more appealing to that college. Plus there are colleges specifically FOR black people, where's my specific "white college"? OH WAIT, there isn't one because it'd be "R.ACIST" to exclude blacks and other races, but huh I guess it's a-okay to exclude the "crackers" look at that.
and here, the DEFINITION of r.acism since you're clearly lacking that information.
R.acism- Noun:
1. The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as...
2. Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.

The only way you

blondes aren't being and have not been oppressed like illegal immigrants.
Also, the difference between those "rude" situations is that those are individual people being rude. This "joke" is offensive to a whole groups of people. Not all illegal immigrants sleep in tents in people's backyards or kill people. You're ignorant if you believe all illegal immigrants do things like that. Some illegal immigrants are at school, working hard to become citizens and helpful to our society. Some are already working for our society. I bet sometime in your life, whether you were aware of it or not, you've had some kind of help from and illegal immigrant. I know I have, along with probably most people. Don't be quick to judge. I know some people who live in America illegally who are not only working to become citizens, but already more helpful to this country than natural born citizens.

on quote 6785507
It's rude how you continue to blame the whole population of immigrants for a wrongful death. Yes, the tents on your yard are rude, but ultimately, it's the governments fault. Making light of a serious situation through r4cism isn't the best way to make light of it. I find it offensive, because as a Black and Filipina woman who has gone through strong prejudices for my entire life, I can relate when I see another of my people of color being discriminated against. It's hurtful to me, personally.
R4cist jokes are offensive, because r4cism results in = less jobs, high incarceration rates, less benefits. No one is saying you're not allowed to be offended by dumb blonde jokes, and I'm not quite sure why you're trying to make that my problem. If you're offended by something, then by all means, call out the offensive nature?

I don't think I have to provide blatant reasons for how this is r4cist besides the fact you've been referring to "tents" and "Arizona" which pretty much provides that you are talking about immigrants from Mexico. Not to mention that you tagged this is as "r4cist joke".
I'm not acting as if I'm "higher up than others", and I'm not sure why everyone keeps assuming that I haven't sinned in my entire life.
It's not what you do, it's how you make up for it.
You could have simply acknowledged the r4cist/offensive content in this quote and called it a day, however you keep insisting that it's not r4cist. But, can I blame you? It's hard to see r4cism when you've lived a very white and privileged life.

Do you know how much money it is to obtain an American citizenship? Or how about how hard it is to just get a Visa if you're from a third world country? Illegal immigrants get out as much as they put in. They do the jobs no one else wants to do. Telling them they have to go "back to where they came from" without you acknowledging the fact that you sit on stolen land is, for lack of better words, ignorant.
