Does this make me racist? -

[jorgoth]

I'm a remote programmer for a big company and I have never seen most of my coworkers face to face and don't even know what half of them look like. This one guy's really nice and helpful, almost to a fault, and he's a really cool guy. Just today I noticed from his Outlook user avatar that he's black, and now I feel really bad for him. Does that make me racist?

Disliking someone because they're black makes you a racist. Feeling bad for someone because they're black makes you a liberal.

 

[Vingle]

No, I would feel disgusted by it though.

Disliking someone because they're black makes you a racist. Feeling bad for someone because they're black makes you a liberal.

Why'd you have to say that, that is so much worse than being racist.

 

[misterduckford]

Just hedge your bets that literally everything makes you racist. If you have to ask, you're now an IGNORANT racist. Isn't life awesome?

he's black, and now I feel really bad for him.

What is the reason you feel really bad for him?

 

[Boris Blank's glass eye]

Definitely. Now give him all your money, yt.

What is the reason you feel really bad for him?

Dude is just so self-effacing, as if he feels like that's what's expected of him.

Not your responsibility, appreciate his productive behavior through reciprocating in-kind.

Fair enough.

If you're white, anything you do can be "racist".

 

[TiggerNits]

No, a racist would react by saying "Well I'm not emailing that fuckin' spear-chucker anymore."

Your reaction is just dumb, not evil.

His race has zero bearing on his kindness, intellect or ability to help. He's obviously been raised well and learned proper manners and decency when dealing with his fellow man, which in itself shows a love shown to him by his surroundings that he reciprocates outward in his professional life.

You should not pity this man at all, you should cherish him, exalt him and try to act as he does.

What was going on in your head when you thought about it?
Your feeling bad all of a sudden makes you liberal racist not KKK racist.

 

[Sexual Chocolate]

Stop emailing me, faggot

 

[LurkNoMore]

Yes, being a robot zombie...I'm mean necron makes you racist and a heretic. Beg the God Emperor for his mercy and perhaps you will find peace in the next life!

 

[throwawayguys]

Racism is more than just passive empathy. It's a way of life, a powerful innate feeling of disgust that should inform every decision you ever make in life.
You're not trying hard enough.

 

[Niggernerd]

Racism fucking rocks

 

[Crankenstein]

Yes, and that's okay. Racism is natural.
