probably dumb white people going nuts about non existent racism

"This outrages me because it just lets me know that there's still racists," said Stephanie Jones, whose child is a student at the school.

You shouldn't assume that slaves are automatically black people. "Oh a slave, they must be black person, I am outraged, I don't think they're subhuman beasts of burden."

I'm leaning this way as well.

Even in the pic from the article you can see it wasn't every question, they were mixed in, and it's not something hand written or typed up and photocopied that the teacher created, it's obviously some kind of work book or work sheet.

The way we squeeze our budget and ignore our trade deficit it's probably from some other country and written by people who only know the basic outline of American history and don't recognize the meaning of the word slave vs worker or farm hand.

Those parents should be glad, the one who made up this test was not jewish, instead black. So questions there would be about not oranges and cotton, but zyclon-b cans and ovens

What makes you think the person who wrote it is African American?

On a positive note, they were trying to cross-pollinate social studies/history with math. A for effort, F for execution.

Why do you equate black to Arifcan Amerikan?

Why assume all blacks are from Africa and live in Amerika?

I didn't come up with the PC term but if their is a new one I would gladly switch to a more PC one.

I am guessing someone making tests for US Public Schools would be an American.

Though some of you might not get it, this is a small video made of children regarding color choices in Mexico, questions are simple, like "Which color is better?" "which color is BAD/wrong?" "Which color is closest to you?" and that's mexico friends.

Racism is strong everywhere. Leaves you wondering.


Small Edit: Found one with subs for english understanding people

I never bought into the politically correct thing :)

A black person is just a person with darker skin colors, just as I am a white person with lighter skin colors. I see no reason to use any 'politically correct' words for that. It is what it is.

And if I was a black dude from say Asia, I would not be happy to be called African American since I would be neither :P


Too me this oversensitiveness seems to be pushing the issue of racism the wrong way. Maybe it is just me. ;)

Derp, only skin colour? What about different shape of skull, wider nose, longer arms, narrower hips, higher testosterone levels? I am not even talking about mentality and IQ, to prevent some rage in this thread. Races are very different.

Yes, and? Still human. I am different form other "whites" as well. Skin color just happens to be easily visible, the internal genetic makeup can be a mix of anything.

We are all wage slaves anyways.

Nah, test making has been off-shored to India.

I am already well aware. Of course there are differences in genes. But humans have mixed long enough that it is highly irrelevant (culturally, and more and more genetically). Humans are humans, and we look different. One cannot tell to much form skin color except to see it is another human, and the skin color is different.

Sure, its genetical difference. But it seems you don't notice fact, that people are not completely dispersed in world, there are huge regions where they share pretty much identical properties. For example , most people in China has narrow eyes. Is this coinscidence to you?

By the way , race tells lot's of about people ancestry. For example those early humans, who decided to leave Africa, entering harsh and colder regions, had to change aswell - to survive winter, they had to be more awared and look further in the future. Also it meant less breeding, and be more crafty, to make better clothes and huts. We are shaped by environment. That's the key genetic differences, not only appearance.

Also, have you ever considered that the people who got forced to move up north were those who weren't smart enough or clever enough or tough enough to stay closer to the equator where they could have such easier lifestyles?

No idea, maybe :P
But in result it ended better for them.

My mom's a teacher.

No it hasn't.

Also, by your logic, Eskimos are +£bermensch.

Maybe because of too difficult conditions? Don't you notice most "+£bermensch" lives in average climate zones. By the way take globe, and spin it , whike watching at land plots around equator. Why in history people failed to make any decent civilizations there? Amazon natives, Sub-saharian africans, Indonezians.. If people are "equal" , why they lived in huts and tribes for thousands years , (in some regions even up to now), without noticeble progress?

Book description look's interesting, but I have feeling there will be too much PC bullshit there. May going take it after exams, thanks anyway.

Someone failed Humor 101?
