Ah, blame shifting. It must be racism, it can't be poverty. Shift the blame off the academic system of Harvard and Yale and their comfortable life. That is far too close to home for an academic to allow, so he must shift the blame. Is racism a subset of poverty? or is poverty a subset of racism? The question is very much in need of an answer. As it seems proposed cures to racism are to transfer money and the opportunity to earn it from whites to blacks. This argues that poverty is the real problem and that racism is a subset of poverty. Shifting, many of the recent posts simply point out the racist thought processes in their declaration that they are better than .... http://www.success.com/article/the-million-dollar-personal-success-plan Develop supreme confidence in yourself and your own abilities.or is the problem the attitude necessary to be a capitalist? Which would also argue that poverty is inexorably linked. So back to: Is racism a subset of poverty? or is poverty a subset of racism? |

So back to: Is racism a subset of poverty? or is poverty a subset of racism? I Think both statements are true. If you make a circelarea representing racism called R and one cirkelarea P for poverty. Now let some parts overlap. Then you get three areas. R. Only racists. P. Only poverty. RP. Both racists and poverty. |

I'm still getting confused about that racists are evaluting a persons skin color as an argument. My GF was once "married" to an Ethopian guy. He thought he was a White guy because he was "whiter" then the people living in Central Africa. And he's right:) Many "whiter" people have darker skin then many "black people". No. Racism has nothing to do with skin color. I still call Racism xenophobia and a reason for opression... |

Perhaps it would help Janne if you understood about Caucasians. Swedish Wikipedia! https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsv.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FKaukasisk_ras&edit-text= Caucasian race, in earlier times also called the white race, is one of the main breeds that people within anthropology is traditionally divided. The term is still used partially, but has largely played its role as a distinctive concept. [1] The Caucasian race includes people who should have originated in the Caucasus area, hence the name, and include Europeans , Indians , Persians and Arabs . The Caucasian race was given a definition of the fysiske anthropologist Carleton S. Coon so in 1934 . The second of the races defined by Coon was the Mongoloid race , the australiana suffering race , the kongoida race and the kapoida race (the last two together constitute the Negroid race ). His definition was, however, very soon obsolete. The Genetics and the Origin of Species (1937) showed Theodosius Dobzhansky that these introductions are inappropriate to define different genetic populations among people. Instead studied mainly single smaller populations. If no major overall classifications are used, they tend to be Caucasian, Asian and African breed. [1] http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaukasisk_ras |

No. Racism has nothing to do with skin color. And you would be 100% correct. Racism is a misnomer. It has zero to do with race. The issue is discrimination based on ethnic culture or being different. That even includes white trash culture. That also includes the finger pointing and name calling "fatso." Until you can properly identify a problem, you can't hope to fix it. http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article21200154.html Senate candidate Loretta Sanchez appears to disparage American Indians Ms. Sanchex is the daughter of Mexican parents. Without a DNA test I'd wager that means Ms. Sanchez has a good bit of Native American blood in her. Of course her family might be pure Spaniard in which case she is White European. But neither of these are her ethnic label. I still call Racism xenophobia and a reason for opression... In any case it seems to be about a person who identifies with one culture putting down a person who identifies with a different culture. Xenophobia may well be a better word. Of course the issue is deeper than making fun of another group. It is about making economic or commerce decisions based on groups. Poverty. |

Of course the issue is deeper than making fun of another group. + many something:) We are swedish and joking with finn and norwegian stereotypes. Both finns and norwegian are joking with Swedish stereotypes. It's dangerous to not meet people from different Cultures. Then all bad types of stereotype thinking are getting worse. And you are not born with a racist thinking. I can tell you many examples of that seeing many peoples when I'm Walking my dog every day... |

Racism? Success? The White House? Marcus Samuelsson? Ethopia? Sweden? http://www.aquavit.org/ Aquavit transforms Nordic cuisine with extraordinary care http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant_Aquavit Aquavit enjoyed a three-star rating from The New York Times from 1995 until 2010, when it was downgraded to two stars,[5][6] and was ranked by New York Magazine in 2006 as the 9th-best restaurant in New York. In 2002 the cook book “Aquavit and the new Scandinavian Cuisine†was written by Marcus Samuelsson based on the food of the restaurant. http://www.africansuccess.org/visuFiche.php?id=845&lang=en One thing for sure. There is nobody in Ethiopa called Samuel:) Have I eating in his restuarants? No because I cannot afford it. However some Somalian food I have since my schoolmate Medina made some African cookies. Very nice:) |

No. Racism has nothing to do with skin color. Actually, it seems the Moops spread fairly far into Spain, for an extended time. Thus, some African or Middle Eastern DNA spread into Spain, right? The Moops may be another reason for some of the racism towards Hispanics. |

MoopsIf that doesn't sum up this board ......... thanks for the laugh. The bubble boy insisted it was the "Moors", but George said the card said "Moops". Seriously, though, was there much interbreeding? Could this be a further source of prejudice against Hispanics? |

The Show about nothing .....MoopsIf that doesn't sum up this board ......... thanks for the laugh. Seriously, though, was there much interbreeding? Could this be a further source of prejudice against Hispanics? Somehow doubt it. They held Sicily for a long time. They also held parts of Southern France. As to interbreeding, it would have happened. I don't know if it would have been to the extent to change that many into mixed linage. Also in looking at the pictures of Moors in Wiki, many are depicted with light skin tone, not a dark skin tone. (large) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/World_Map_of_Y-DNA_Haplogroups.png Seems to indicate perhaps a more Semitic/Arab/Mesopotamian origin for the Moors, and not African. Yes, different than Western European. As to discrimination of Hispanics I don't think that Moorish origin has much to do with it. I suspect it is more the interbreeding with the Native American population that is the cause. Being in Little TJ I even hear the Spanish Hispanics decry the Native American Hispanics. |

Most would describe as African is dark-skinned. An albino is white. Completely white. https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=no&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fingriidgurinee.blogg.no%2F1303052531_afrikansk_og_albino.html&edit-text= https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=no&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.albinisme.no%2F&edit-text= The magazine American Blues Scene reported that Johnny Winter is gone. A spokesperson for the artist, Carla Parisi, confirms that the artist died in a hotel room in Zurich in Switzerland last summer. Muddy Waters once said that "Winter play eight notes where I play one!". He also enjoyed respect for his distinct slide technique. Both Johnny and his brother Edgar, also a successful musician in the 1970s, had albinism, which gave Johnny nicknamed the "world's whitest blues guitarist." |
