I haven't seen anyone here talking about racism, it sounds more like a "skin-color/appearance discrimination thing" that's used here.
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/racism1. Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.This point of view is just wrong before any specific example needs to be taken in to account.
It doesn't specify what superior means and therefore any race could be "the superior one" based on what the observer values as superior. It is still very useful for trolling, non-PC humor etc.
1.1 The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."White people has higher risk of skin cancer if exposed to the same amount of intense equatorial sun light as a black person, therefore Blacks are superior!"
"Black people need more sun light than white people, when they are near the polar-circles, to reach the recommended positive effects of exposure to sun light, therefore Whites are superior!"
I'm a proud 1.1 racist, that acknowledge the differences and recognize that these differences provides varying degrees of benefits(superiority) and disadvantages(inferiority) under specific situations.
The main problem with judging these qualities by "race" is that the external senses used to label someone as a certain race is not 100% correct(it could be if we were all pure-bloods).
Fact based racism(everyday stereotypical thinking) is better at describing reality than "we're all human" to a LIMITED EXTENT.
The most important thing is to accept facts/reality, when a (racist-)stereotype label gets disproved then discard it for that person instantly, and reevaluate if it's still applicable as a generalization towards all those individuals that would be generalized by it.
Regarding the cologne attacks:
When a a woman walks down the street alone one late night...
Statistically speaking: how many men does she need to pass to meet her first rapist if she only encounters men that LOOK like this?
1. German
2. Non-German(Arab excluded.)
3. Arab
If there is a correlation between appearance, that can be generalized accurately(50%+ of the times), then it is a helpful
fact to consider when trying to
minimize risk of encountering a rapist.
Ahem... i'm talking about rape avoidance/prevention based on facts. I have not made any value judgment on "why" they are rapists in this post.
