Well just think you are moving from one country famous for being racist to another :SLupisDarkmoon wrote:Ah, the US, once again proving that we only give a shit about your life if you're a rich white christian man and once again showing off how proud we are of our incredible racism.
Fuck this country.

Well said. This thread has hit a pet peeve of mine...people who judge a country who haven't even been here or anywhere else to compare it. I've travelled alot and you can do alot worse than the country I'm proud to call home. Nuff said.Syleye wrote:Not to sound rude but if you think it truly is better and humanity is at its peak somewhere else by all means try it. I think you will be unpleasantly surprised, being a jerk and racist (by the way no such thing as races) is not a "white person" trait its a human trait. Being ethnocentric is a survival trait for communities, the best we can do is recognize it happens and try and adjust our views a bit

You know I haven't been able to travel much yet, I settled down early and that sort of thing is expensive with children, but I have my degree in anthropology because I love understanding the way our world and people have been shaped. My family on the other hand does travel extensively , and have been to many, many places, not all of which are normal tourist targets. We had a conversation about it the other night and it basically what it boiled down to is " home may not be perfect, and we sure as hell have our problems, but travel really puts it into perspective, especially when you can get in with locals and really talk and learn from them. Everyplace has bad things and every where has beautiful examples of what we could be, the fact is humans really are not different deep down and saying f white people and f an entire culture is rude and shows a distinct lack of understanding of humanity. By the way if I were to say the things about people of other ethnicity and other countries that have been stated tonight about " whites" and the U.S you can bet I would have a major warning for violating rules.Castile wrote:Well said.
