Politics Hating white people, so hot right now...

So should mexicans be prevented from anything created by white people? So they can't drive a car, use anything electronic, live in an american style home....

Do we have a list of everything we use today and who invented it?

I would like a huge list with everything from antibiotics to zippers. Then I can decide if I want to follow this rule. Who invented porno?

This could get interesting. Where's Dave Chappelle? We can have another racial draft for invented stuff.

After the draft anything a race invents they get to keep.

Where is everyone? Getting ready for the war in Portland?

I'm at the gym, my wife is on an elliptical next to a Hispanic guy and I'm watching an Asian guy do wicked awesome pull-ups on the big jungle gym thing in the middle while I ride the exercise bike.

There's black guys everwhere too. Feel soooooooooo scared.

There's a better looking blonde version of Deb from Dexter doing stretches on the fake grass while wearing tiny clothes. Doesn't she know how dangerous this place is?????????

The American experiment is a melting pot. Let it melt.

For all the talk of qualifications, if there are 10 equally qualified applicants for a job, to get into college, etc., the odds the black person gets in are 9:1 against. Or 8:1. Not good, and not exactly an even playing field.

We have the right to freely associate. If people want to do so to protect certain cultural elements, so be it.

I find it utterly ridiculous that chefs should feel bad for cooking food from other cultures. Completely and utterly ridiculous.

I don't understand how these people don't see the irony, the double standard, in what they're saying. They say they moved here to be accepted, and yet they're singling out white restaurants for stealing their culture. They want to feel accepted, but they do not accept others. They're hypocrites. Until people understand that by singling out white people, by judging white people, by lumping everyone that appears to be white into one group, they are further propagating division and resentment. This country is a melting pot, and our food reflects that diversity. Why are people trying to change that?

I'm also tired of this Utopian Portland bullshit. I have no fucking clue how the outside image of Portland became this perfect city for all people, regardless of race, religion, or sexual preference. Yes, Portland has a lot of very liberal people. Yes, I think this city can be very accepting, but if the city is 76% white you're going to have a much higher chance of running into someone that's racist or bigoted. It's simple math. If the city was only 25% white, then you would have a lower chance of even seeing a white person, let alone seeing one that was vocally racist or bigoted. I also think that the higher population of white people in Portland gives these people a bit of an emboldened attitude because they're not completely surrounded by other races.

It seems like the people who are moving here because they think Portland is more inclusive, are running into the people who are moving here to be in a whiter community. And as more people move here from other communities from all over the country, we will slowly lose what Portland once was, and see this city evolve into a totally different society. We are seeing different political, cultural, and religious groups all coming together in this city, and there has been friction.

But it seems to me, that the way to solve these problems is to start highlighting our similarities and not our differences. I just wish these people would practice what they preach. You can't tell me in one sentence that you want to be accepted, and then in the next breath tell me that white people should not be serving a dish from your country.

It's not easy, accepting outsiders and immigration, even if they're just from somewhere else, don't even have to be from another colture.
One thing I can say from my experience that melting pot isn't exactly the right direction IMO, it should be more multi-coltural when you don't try to turn everyone into the same thing but embrace the differences and the opportunity that comes from meeting and getting to know new people and coltures.
I think it really depends on how you look at it. If you embrace this change or look at it as threat. And I think you should look at it as opportunity. Without giving up on Portland's colture but thinking these new people can make it even better

I'll let you go to PF Changs and Pok Pok, but only if you Instagram your meal.

Man you ain't spelled nothing out. Your dumb ass statement stood out as wrong as hell. I gave you a chance to correct and you double down like a fucking idiot.
You could correct the fool error you know, and lose nothing.

Wrong. You misinterpreted my statement, I immediately followed up and explained what I meant and you just refused to accept it. You even went so far as to make it sound like I plainly said that white people are more racist than other races. It's not my fault that you misinterpreted my statement and then refused to accept any clarifications that I posted to clear it up.

Looking back, I can see why you read the sentence the way that you did, but my subsequent posts made it clear what I was saying. I did clarify, and you just refused to accept it. It wasn't an "error." It was just a sentence that could be read different ways.

Ok.
