Honestly, don't get get me wrong, I think everyone should be proud of who they are, but, if you are going to degrade someone else, at least do it about something you can prove and compare. I mean, at least things like classism and nationalism have ways to compare, but racism and sexism, it's just like,

"hey you're different."
"yup."
"I'm better than you."
"wut? how?"
"Dunno."
=======

FFS, that's why I find racism to be the worst form of prejudice, it's the most useless. Again, do I think it's ok for EVERYONE to take pride in their individual race? Yes. But if you feel the need to compare yourself to others, then at least be able to prove something. I mean, at least nationalism has a country's history, racism is just...hey, you've got colour!

Sorry LW, my week's been really, REALLY, REALLY, fucked up, I'm trying to cope the best I can without giving in to certain things I made a promise to never do again.

But that's the greatest part, nationality isn't the same as ethnicity, lol, it's impossible to compare races, because all you are discriminating by is the colour of their skin!

I'm pretty sure you can prove that some races are less significant than others.

I edited it :P, seems you quoted it beforehand though. But you need to realize that you can't think that way or there's bound to be trouble.

No, I can prove some nations that are less important or good as other nations, but that's about it.

Like France. Lol, even if that pisses Bud off because he seems to think knowing history is a superpower and being biased is abusing it.
