and yet again - over and over - why are people who think it is so STUPID to post in this thread - keep posting in it???
seems like ganging up to me........correct me if I'm wrong
your points have been made - you think those of us in here that have posted are STUPID, WRONG and DISGUSTING (in your opinion - your own words) - so do us a favour and dont talk to us when you see us out - for obviously you think we are all disgusting racist female degrading dumb bastards and have no place in your social circles.....:rolleyes:
I think that Fahad was just stating his diverse REAL acceptance of other cultures - (not degrading women) it's one thing to say you like/get along with people from other/diverse cultural backgrounds and a totally different thing to actually date/go out/marry someone from another cultural background..... IMO
the people that seem to have the most problem with this thread and shouting about racism seem to be white....LOL...anglosaxon/caucasian/european whatever! (diginut aside of course) from what I can see....
and I would be quite curious to know if any of these people complaining have seriously dated outside their own skin colours.....
I was gonna post something last night but thought meh.....now I am posting what I should have posted yesterday.
FAHAD wasn't bragging about sticking his DICK in anyone - nor was he trying to be a COR whore and post about "I am cooler than you because I macked a persian/french/spanish woman with a D-CUP"
the same as we talk about various DJ'S/TRACKS/GENRES/CLUBS/CLOTHING BRANDS/CELLPHONES/SHAVING CREAMS etc....we like, enjoy and have experienced and can comment on rightly so - I think this was just a thread to probe those on here for their cultural experiences beyond a "sometimes" superficial/politcally correct friendship level - in which dating obviously implies.
Here's a thought - regarding myself personally - I may be white but I am gay - so I have felt/heard derogatory akin to "racial" type slurs and ignorant comments just the same if not worse (although it is not politically correct to say call people niggger/chink/gook/wetback.........it still seems fine to call people "fags" no matter what race you are)
THAT - some ed up logic there if you ask me.
It is even more sad really when someone who lives here that is non-white makes this comment to me or gays in general - for how in the hell do they think they have any right saying that at all considering their cultures are still in its infancy of true social acceptance among the so-called white majority in North America. Talk about double-standards. We are in the same boat basically WTF????
we are all about breaking down "racial divides" yet still have major problems with breaking down our OWN races "sexual divides".
Pathetic!
also it is one thing for people to say they "know" and don't "mind" gay people and ACTUALLY being a gay persons friend and accepting/embracing them as an equal person - try to argue with that one people - for real!
The comments of "well I don't mind that he's gay - as long as he doesn't hit on me"
you hear that all the time......
well that comment implies fear - and fear fuels stereotypes and ignorance - and ignorance begets homophobia - while stereotypes perpetuate it. Just like fear, ignorance and stereotypes perptuate racism.
do you hear people saying "well I don't mind that they are Nigerian/Chinese/Pakistani/Persian...etc - as long as they don't try to marry me and change my culture?????"
no you don't so WTF?
or maybe you don't hear this because it is polically incorrect to say so - but silently people harbour fear of other races and do not go out of their "ethnic" comfort circle - so this will not be an issue that they will have to truly confront. I think this IS much more the case.
and that is what my impression of this thread was intended for - a conversational platform to express our diversity and REAL acceptance of one another on a level that is not so "skin-deep" and superfically politically correct as friendships sometimes are based upon.
so after posting all of this - do I still get branded as "STUPID" and "WRONG" and "DISGUSTING" by those who think this thread has no value.......
I would like to think I tried to make an honest effort, even draw some simliarlities to shed some light on some issues that are beyond a few peoples comfort levels and there is absolutely nothing STUPID OR WRONG OR DISGUSTING with that at all.....if I reach even one person to help them see through the bigoted crap that they think they can get away with while being righteous and self-serving than my posting was not in "VAIN" at all.
thanks for reading :D |
agreed!
just because random girls dont like this topic doesnt really mean this thread should be closed..
:wtf: |

Wow, Sean, you understood me SO well there, seriously. If I was gay I would so be hitting on you right now... it, I'll hit on you anyway. Seriously, THANKS for posting that! :D
And Margs, I would honestly be VERY happy to change the title to something that was more politically correct. Don't hesitate to let me know.
Hilary, whatever sound judgement you think I'm lacking, please let me know (PM or whatever) how I can correct that and I would really like to learn from it for future posts! :)
And Digi, you're bang on about the "Vanity". Of course, I feel I'm very special that I've been in "beyond-friendship" relationships with girls from those different countries, and yes, there was an element of "showing off" that was involved in my posting that list about myself, but the biggest reason was what Sean said...I really wanted to create a platform for other people like myself who have decided to pursue an interracial AND intercultural (two are very different) serious relationship. |

thanks for the clarification Margaret - I appreciate that. For I honestly felt with some of the comments that were directed in this thread that there was real disgust or animosity specifically directed to certain people (even myself should I be to post in this thread) who I felt were incorrectly branded as racist, sexist or just plain disgusting.
there were some harsh descriptive words used to blanket people in this thread - and when friends say these things to one another - how else can it be expected to have been taken but as hurtful and real.
the context of this thread has been completely warped out of context - but upon clarification - a clarity has been achieved.

(stupid/digusting/racist/sexist/fag)
my whole reason for posting is if words that are hurtful, derogatory or even branding towards others such as these were not used - then all would have been normal too - and less offensive to everyone. |

no that was not nice - that was me feeling hurt and lashing out - and for that I am sorry - but why would I have even felt the need to retaliate in the first place - unless I personally felt attacked.
I sincerely hope that wasn't the case with us Jon Jon
you rawk!
WHIP IT OUT WHIP IT OUT!
