I do think it is partially true, though... I mean, I think the media is gentler on non-whites sometimes, because they don't want anyone thinking they're racist or something. I suppose I could be reading into it too much.

I didn't say I agreed with it... :uhoh2: It's just something I've heard used as an example. Personally I liked the movie, I thought it was very good.

edit: nevermind, I found it.

Well there isn't really a Black People equivalent of Nigger so I couldn't think of a better example... :\ Edit: Wait, here's one: When the movie Slumdog Millionaire came out a lot of white people started fawning over it even though they didn't particularly like it much more than an average movie and white guilt could be the reason it got so many awards, because white people like to feel culturally relevant due to their guiltiness about being white.

What do you think of it? Do you think it even exists? (For any of you that may not be familiar with this, "white guilt" is a term used to describe white people's guiltiness about being unfair to black people/Mexican people/any other ethnicities/races/nationalities in the course of the white person's long reign over Western society. Example: it is usually acceptable to say "cracker" on an American TV show ["cracker" = insult used by black people toward white people] but not "nigger." Many attribute this to the idea that white people feel so ashamed of what their ancestors did to black people they feel self-righteous enough to think they deserve punishment.) Discuss.

let's talk about white guilt edit: Nevermind, I made a topic about it, go talk about it there

bye

this! but it's so hard to find :sad:

Okay, I'm not rich. Let's talk about how you all are discriminating against me.

A few days ago we (my swim team) were about to get in the water except the club that we "rent"/borrow the pool from had dumped all of its members in it. (There was an indoor pool that they were SUPPOSED to swim in but I suppose it was having "issues" or something.) One of the coaches said, "We are guests at this pool," and I thought he was being sarcastic so I went, "tchah, no kidding," to agree with him and then he yelled at me for being such a smartass and told me to shut up. :lol: So I suppose I fall under the "smartass" category since my swim coach told me I was one.

hahaha No, I base that off the fact that zeior acted really surprised when I said I was female, and I've also gotten a similar sentiment from a few others that I can't really remember right now... Possibly I am secretly a lesbian or something.

copy & pasted from Urban Dictionary because I am too lazy to make a real definition: smartass 356 up, 42 down A person who, by means of purpsose or not, uses sarcasm to have a laugh. A person who, on a regular bases, annoys the hell out of people with their sarcastic-attitude. You are in a chat: CrazyChick: Hello room. You: Why the fuck are you talking to a room.. There are perfectly good people here. CrazayChick: Fuck you man Damn smartass.

why?

I can't beleive you took that statement so seriously :lol: Paul, you have pathetically low self-esteem.

Male, because you are frequently funny and apparently people cannot be funny on this forum and also not have a penis. Or so I've been told.

blopshoot isn't a word either :thinking:

well since the "we" in this instance includes you, I suppose you count as awesome since the "we" also includes me and I am just so awesome I have enough awesomeness to go 'round :nice:

Lawls we made a reference lol :lol:
