White Power

With the recent death of Nelson Mandela, thoughts of racism and discrimination have been dancing around in my head more than usual. Especially after finding multiple articles claiming the man to be a Communist and a possible racist. On top of that, some evidence points towards him being part of a (still on-going) genocide. Make of those what you will, as some of the evidence is sketchy at best.

Nonetheless, this leads me to a still oft asked question: Does racism exist? 

Well, quite obviously, it does. Black. Hispanic (or Mexican, since - to every racist - they're all Mexican anyway). Asian (see Hispanic, but replace "Mexican" with "Chinese"). All of them are hated by other races.

But what about whites? 

Often considered the majority, white folk were once the standard (before this magical thing call "equality" was thunk up). However, that standard is quickly changing. What it might become, I couldn't tell, but it's changing regardless. I mean, you can call a white guy "cracker" or whatever the kids are using now a days -- they could really come up with something better too. White racial slurs pretty much suck and aren't actually that offensive, except for "negrophiliac", which should really be used more because that sounds hilarious. However, that's racism in its own right. 

On the discrimination side of things, some people point toward the affirmative action laws, which pretty much tell corporations/businesses/universities/anything else that needs people to work that they have to meet certain quotas of minorities OR ELSE. When they were introduced, they made sense: all the white people were extremely racist and they pretty much had to be forced to change so we could reach what we have today. But are they still needed today? Some (white) people say no. They say it unfairly discriminates against them, causing them to be denied certain things simply because of arbitrary details. Honestly, that'd be pathetic if anyone were denied, simply because there's already enough wang or not enough melanin for the quota.

But the best way to tell is to do a survey. So that I shall do. Sorta. Not the full thing here, but consider this a preliminary.

• Do you consider any of the following groups to be discriminated against:
• Whites
• Blacks
• Hispanics (Browns?)
• Asians (Yellows)
• Native American (Reds)
• Other (because I probably forgot someone)
• Do you think discrimination is increasing against the following groups:
• Whites
• Blacks
• Hispanics (Browns)
• Asians (Yellows)
• Native American (Reds)
• Other
•  Optional: Explain your answers

And that's it. 

And just to make sure you don't end up as some imbecile who can't think for themselves because they've been conditioned their whole life, may I point you to my friend Mr. T:

"I pity the fool who disagrees with Kyle."

See? The T said it; you can't argue now. Unless you want your head to be crushed like one of Gallagher's watermelons in those biceps.

Pictured: your future career if you don't stay in school.
Being an aging man smashing fruit, that is. Not the watermelon.
Though you might be the watermelon. Who knows?
