Yes, you are a complete racist and a pure dick. You know why? Because that&#039;s who you are. You just showed education could NOT make stupid people become intelligent.

Thanks.</description>

		<description>@Anonymous: I fucking hate anonymous comments. I mean, you have to &lt;em&gt;type something&lt;/em&gt; into that &quot;Name&quot; field... why choose &quot;anonymous&quot;? There&#039;s no one forcing you to use your real name - but anonymous? Arg.

As for your comment - that&#039;s about as well thought-out as &quot;anonymous&quot;.</description>

		<description>I wasn&#039;t a racist growing up (or at least I didn&#039;t understand it), since I was shoveled with brain washing tactics such as racism is stupid; all humans are the same; we must love everyone; blah blah blah. Well now I&#039;ve grown up and guess what? I&#039;m sick and tired of everyone and everything having to be to so PC and accepting. I wasn&#039;t then, but after observing how the world is just going to lose its diversity and culture through race-mixing, I am now a full-fledged racist. I am courteous to all people, but believe all people should stick to their own kind at the end. The melting pot is nothing but a myth. Humans are by nature competitive, and survivor of the fittest rules then as it does now. Wake up before everyone finds themselves looking like a mud race.</description>

		<description>Why bother to identify you&#039;re a racist or an ass-hole?
Both characters would not do any good for the world.

Chinese people are ignorant that why some people hate them:- if this is the fact, there&#039;re over 60 billion people in the world,you probably have to hate 80-90% of
the whole population, since this may be the % living
in China, India, Africa, many Asian Countries, and some Gulf regions.

I&#039;m an lucky person that was bornt in Hong Kong in the 60s&#039;. My dad made an fortune in the late 70&#039;s, and he sent
me to the west to study in the early 80&#039;s. After I graduated, I begun my career in a financial institution; since the, I even made a much better fortune than my Dad.
I&#039;m 40+ now, my Dad had passed away, but I could never forget what he told me when he first sent me aboard.
He said, &quot; You know how lucky you are to have this chance,
many people in other contries do not even have a proper pen to write.....so if you success in the future, you must not forget you are taking others resource to get to this position....&quot;
Today, I&#039;m half retired, I donate money and build schools
to China, India, and Africa. Some of money are thru charity organizations, and some school projects are followed by myself. Recently, I have visited my private school in a rural area in China,I saw many studnents walked 4 hours on bare feet every morning from their villages to attend the classes, because my school is already the nearest school they can attend.

These students are so concentrated and smart, that remind me my father&#039;s old sayings. I&#039;m just lucky to be in the current financial status, I&#039;m no smarter than these kids,if they were bornt in my family, I&#039;m sure they will do much better than me.

One last point I want to make. These developing countries, did not really have a chance to be developed in the last few decades because of wars (both WWII or civil wars),wars are the main killer. Honestly, I really
hate racists, and sometimes I hate capitalism. These two ideas make human think and act in a direction towards :
Is my country stronger than others? Am I richer than others? I want to see human start thinking &quot;Am I rich ENOUGH to maintain an O.K. life and start helping others?&quot;</description>

		<description>I have two Taiwanese kids that I tutor in-home. I asked the 10 year old if he had ever climbed a tree.... NO. Ever swum in a river, gone fishing or paddled a canoe ? NO.

Poor kid. He has a Chinese tutor, an English tutor, a Maths tutor and a Piano tutor, on top of 2.5 hours of homework every night. Just to be at the head of the pack at school.

I wonder if he has suicidal thoughts ? I sure would... but then again he has not been exposed to any alternate lifestle.</description>

		<description>Take heart. I pine for the days when I was simply called a &#039;racist.&#039; They (you know who you are) have moved on to death threats and descriptions of how they are going to rape me and my wife. That kind of stuff. 

For the record, I&#039;m not a racist or an asshole, but I am a jerk.</description>

		<description>@SpiralCow: Very interesting point about the constructs of language being outdated.

The de-isolating of the world over the last century and a half, and particularly in the last 20 years, makes this - in my opinion - one of the coolest times to be alive in the history of mankind.

Of course, perhaps that&#039;s exactly what Grooeg said to his buddy Pfftah at the first camp fire.</description>
