Change is inevitable, and probably improvement's on the horizon, but I don't expect an end to racism ever to occur, any more than an end to murder or to people saying nasty things to one another. Legally, I think equality under the law is a pretty decent place to be, and I'll continue to quietly support that as a private citizen at the voting booth and at the polls, along with attempting to treat people as fairly as I can in my personal and my professional interactions. I just don't particularly want to get caught up in a crusade to cure the evil in men's souls.

Whatever that makes me ideologically I guess is what I am.
I think racism is inevitable insofar as it's tribalism and tribalism is human. I don't think racism per se is here to stay.

It could very well look to people 500 years from now the way a rigid class system/aristocracy looks to us in the West today. And they'll be discriminating against each other based on some sci-fi Gattaca bullshit that won't be relevant to their descendants either.

If you are black then it is like a human blackboard so you have to use chalk.

This is why black people always complain about their skin being chalky or ashy.

this show looks like they just find some dumbass teenagers and pretty much humiliate the poo poo out of them on TV in a way that will probably gently caress up the rest of their lives somehow. and they sell it as like a profound social experiment or something.

I;m gonna watch it.

The best scene in Borat, other than cruising Ron Paul in his hotel room, was the drunk white frat guys telling us how it really is for the white race.
They sued afterward and the judge was like, "lol, no."

I can't believe nobody's tapped into this well of comedy yet, and I look forward to watching tonedeaf teens dance around their deeply held racism.

If MTV does the let's-condescendingly-talk-about-race thing that's a good sign it has worn out its welcome.

I'm old, so will somebody young please indulge me: What does MTV do?

They don't play music videos anymore (you know, the one thing that gave their brand tremendous international cultural relevance). They recently had a popular show called Teen Wolf, which they ran into the ground with poo poo lazy writing (she's asian? well, she sure knows martial arts and has a sword and probably talks about her family's honor all the loving time. And we all knew token chubby black guy was dead as gently caress the instant we saw him. His abs just weren't cut enough to justify the requisite shirtless scenes).

Is it all lazy reality TV targeted toward tweens these days? Because gently caress tweens. (not sexually, they simply have no taste. I feel that's an important qualifier because this forum plays host to some pedophiles.)

Teen Mom is excellent. True Life used to be good but has sucked for a year or two now

Im not sure which one I expect to go off the air first, MTV or VH1....like I don't even know what VH1 airs

its ironic that when americans talk about race as it effects the whole world they're actually talking about specific racial issues that effect maybe 300 million of the worlds 7 billion population

everywhere got they own racism. For example. in Britain we now hate slavs more than blacks or indians

Does white just mean anglo?

I agree with this. White is a skin colour, not an ethnic group. To lump a bunch of varied people together into one category is kind of silly. Europe has a lot of diversity in an ethnic and cultural sense. I guess it can get more blurred in the US though.

As for whether European and European descended people are sucky and deserve to be ashamed - I'll leave that to the experts at MTV to decide.
