I know it's impossible to choose your race, but why should one ever want to choose their race?

Good. The comparison of choosing religion vs choosing race was merely helping the less informed understand that.

They shouldn't.

No I'm not - I'm saying that religion-bashing and race-bashing is not comparable in the slightest bit.

They're not comparable for a different reason. Race cannot be bashed because all races are equal. Religion can be bashed because it's a doctrine, it varies and some religious practices are good while others are bad for society, and many other reasons.

Of course that's a racist idea, but that's not what I'm doing.

You don't intend for it to sound racist but it most definately does and it
is racist.

Good. I'm glad you've understood now (as you probably have all along). Simple hey? Now, the reason why that fact was clarified by grayston, was because a forumite(s) said something along the lines of "...so now it's OK for me to say race x is stupid" - not on! They are not comparable. My point exactly.

Glad you understand too that I did not intend for it to sound racist (nor grayston I believe). Stating the simple fact that one cannot choose race has no racial connotations in the context I (and grayston I believe) used it in. Stating "one cannot choose if they want to be the best race", however, implies racism. Or using "one cannot choose race, shame" after someone stated "race x is better than race y" - that would be racist.

Look I don't mind.... we can agree to disagree if ya want.

There is nothing to disagree on.

I feel like that guy in Clerks2 explaining to his buddy that 'porch-monkey' is a racist word .

porch monkey 1954 up, 520 down love ithate it

A derogatory for a person of african or african american decent. BUT it could also mean a generally lazy person. This term came to be when you think of african americans sitting on there porch chatting it up. Also in the movie Clerks II, the sequal to Clerks, Randal tries to reclaim it as a new term for lazy people. And thus offends several customers and his boss.

vs.

"It is impossible as a zygote to decide on its race, bearing in mind no race is superior and all races are equal"

Huge difference.

Are you done? I'd like to know, because your prize for Biggest Straw Man Argument is starting to go rancid.

I honestly wonder what you were trying to achieve with all of that...

No complaints about this being the result of multiculturalism run amok, political correctness gone mad, liberals or the loony left?
