...troll...Ivory tower? Is that a white slur?
No, you fool, but nice try in veiling an accusation of racism as well. Typical hack tactic. If you can't tolerate or debate opposing viewpoints, perhaps the politics section is too grown up for you.
A person here or there says some stupid crap (racist or not) and tools like you paint an entire nation (or all white people) as racists instead of examining those particular cases as individuals.
That's why you're a hypocrite along with BC.
You don't see individuals or judge them as such.

Depends on whether or not he serious believes "Ivory Tower" is a racial slur. Also, off-topic posting is trolling behavior; what relevance does Australian racism have to American racism? He completely failed to make a single connection, rendering your "point" about context moot, No?What's wrong with a single statement to bring in context? A prior poster referenced Hilter, and no one jumped on him.
You don't get humor much.You really don't read or get out much, do you?
AE, I'm sorry if I overestimated your sense of humor. No need for hostility.No. It is a figure of speech. Get a dictionary or employ Google. Fix your own ignorance one step at a time.
I'm pretty sure I said people here act like the USA has cornered the market on racial issues and that's rubbish.Depends on whether or not he serious believes "Ivory Tower" is a racial slur.

Nice try at saving face but you failed.You don't get humor much.
On the matter of getting out much or reading much, I'm certainly not consuming as much time as you, with thousands of posts bitching about things on a wiener forum. How sad it must be to live a life so full of rage and hatred.
Ohhh. Was that your point? Show ONE- just ONE -post indicating that the US is the only place in the world with racism to sort out. Of course, the post you select must pre-date yours, AND that poster needs to have participated in this thread for your comment to have the tiniest shred of validity. If you cannot, as I suspect you cannot, then you should apologize to us all for telling lies, and generally being a troll. Your so-called "point" is irrelevant, because this thread is SPECIFICALLY about the USA. Or did you fail to read that in the title? Off-topic posts meant to derail threads is trolling, and is against the site's TOS. As has been suggested by at least one other, if your topic interests you more than this one, begin your own thread and we will see you there, albeit probably silently, since some of us only write when we know what we're saying.I'm pretty sure I said people here act like the USA has cornered the market on racial issues and that's rubbish.
Weak. Person A appears not to understand person B. Person B refuses to do Person A's work for him, names two resources and tells Person A his ignorance is his own problem to solve. This is a perfectly reasonable course of action, no more hostile than when parents refuse to be breathing dictionaries for their families and answer questions with, "Look it up, Dear!" That you read hostility where there is none implies you feel you deserve hostility, you are prejudiced to believe every response you dislike is hostile, or you are, as has been suggested before, a troll who thrives on creating hostility. In either case, grow up. This is a place for adults.AE, I'm sorry if I overestimated your sense of humor. No need for hostility.

If you say so, then it's true, if only in your mind.
I dig your style, peep my drawings. I like eating cake.Ohhh. Was that your point? Show ONE- just ONE -post indicating that the US is the only place in the world with racism to sort out.

Note the TOPIC of this thread, MisterVIP:Why aren't any of you clowns complaining about Australia?
^ What he said!... I'm certain that hundreds of Aussies here will be fascinated by your insights...If you want to bring attention to racism in Australia, make a thread about racism in Australia.
No!... no no no. You need to reconstruct your argument quickly. The argument you are going with is "Racism that harms minorities is bad, but racism that helps minorities is good." You are giving racism a legal leg to stand on. No no no no... Alter course ASAP!A Colorblind Constitution: What Abigail Fisher’s Affirmative Action Case Is Really About
The plaintiff in the Supreme Court case challenging the use of race in college admission looks to be the perfect argument. But the case barely mentions her. Instead, the agenda is much broader: To fight race-based policies everywhere.
"The true crux of the suit is not Fisher's failed application, but that government officials violate the constitutional rights of white Americans when they consider race in a way that might help African-Americans and Latinos."
I'm pretty sure I said people here act like the USA has cornered the market on racial issues and that's rubbish.
Can anyone name a country that has NO racism?
Antarctica?... No, never mind... "Never-Never Land"?Can anyone name a country that has NO racism?
