Yes, everyone claims to do this, but few actually do.  After a pattern is established, it doesn't get broken.  After bearing witness to the behaviour of 99 abos, you're not going to seek out the "good" one, you're just going to avoid them.  And if extraordinary circumstances should see you forced to find the good one, it won't outweigh the other 99.  It's just a lack of introspection and mindfulness masquerading under cover of platitudes.  I certainly don't see you trying to break your perceptions of "right wing conservatives".

It's as if you had tried pumpkin several times and didn't like it - but keep eating pumpkin in case it's the one that you will like.  Nobody does that.  Nobody.



Well.. I'm not one to blacken the names of yellow people or red tag anyone on race or brown-nose my way with the browns...

All them groups look good in their own countries.....

The office I work in is very multicultural, and I always give people the benefit of the doubt. That is just a sensible common courtesy.

As for my perception of right wing conservatives, that is an ideology and makes up the content of their character so I have every right to judge it.

Wow you give individuals that you interact with regularly and are forced to get along with "the benefit of the doubt?"  That's sooooo unique.  No right wing conservative would ever do that!

It's not only right wing conservatives who could be considered racist. Try going out with some of the ethnic women in your office. Her parents would be against it no doubt.

Some of them would, some of them wouldn't.
I've come across a lot of interracial marriages and inter faith marriages in my time.

As an Australian, I have been subjected to racism, violence, threats, menace and discrimination by non-Australian migrants


Yes it is quite ironic isn't it and they roll out the racist card at the drop of a hat. I have found immigrants the most racist people in Australia.

I love the way the musseys roll out the racist card as well and they aren't even a race.

I am racist, hear me roar,
As I throw Muslims out the door,
And I reckon blacks all piss on every floor.
Asian girls are pretty fine,
But the blokes are criminal swine
And they all deal drugs by running
Door to door....
If I have to
I can hate everyone,
I am racist....

To paraphrase a famous quote

It never ceases to astonish me that right wing conservatives use the logic that because some foreigners are racist that this justifies their own racism. This is a false dichotomy.
Discrimination on the basis of race, religion or gender is something to be rejected no matter where is is or who it is.
      


I wonder if you'd be willing to condemn the discrimination in "progressive" literature?

'Whiteness studies' is all about making negative generalisations of white people. Also, academics 'studying' history is merely an exercise in criticising white peoples everywhere.

Christianity has been ridiculed and mocked ceaselessly since at least Max Stirner. 

Gender theory is based completely on negative comments of males.

This is all taught in Social Science and Humanities departments, funded in the millions by the tax payer. Yet, their criticisms are passed off as knowledge. Yet, when anyone not of the left engage in criticising races, religion, or genders, it's dismissed as racism or sexism.

But, you know, its not really about colour.

To paraphrase...

Its not so much the color of their skin but the content of their culture...
