Enrico_sw Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 In the US, the term "community" is used to describe various groups: gay community black, asian-american, and latino community It goes without saying that over here (NY/NYC/NJ, a more multi-racial region) that racial groups tend to self-segregate on their own from an early age. My entire schooling had a certain racism: the races self-segregated into groups of friends, relationships, clubs, and even fraternites. Race mixing happened but most minorities self-segregated into their own cliques. Also there are towns, parts of cities where various races cluster together. The current US obsession with race, gender, and sexual orientation IMHO is annoying but can be good if it breaks up the self-segregation and generates more a community of different races being friends and working together. Things are somewhat different with zoomers. Communities tear us apart. They do. There should be one community: the people. The current US obsession with race is making you crazy. It's tearing people apart. Nothing good can come of this. The moralists in your country (actors, journalists, fake pundits) are dividing you more than ever. They go as far as to claim that being "color blind" is racist (but being color blind is the exact OPPOSITE of racism). Hollywood reeks of this obsession. That's why they use scapegoats in their shitty movies ("white man bad" is Hollywood's new mantra, and you know what: that's racist). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 And I will never understand this obsession about "race" in the US. There are NO different races among humans. We are not horses or dogs. The white race doesn't exist. The black race doesn't exist. All the "races colors" between white and black, they do not exist. Yes, that's exactly what I think as well. I agree with you a 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 + Brown community (catch-all term for Arabs, Latinos, Indian etc) is now commonly used. "Brown" people are more likely to be friends with each other (Indian and Arabs- despite being from other continents). Oriental/Asians, too. Also in the US there are Churches that are dominated by one race. Also gay men tend to group together into clubs. Jews also like to live close together, there are a few Jew towns around where I live. One of them had 400 COVID deaths in the spring of 2020. This town did a lot of commuter bus and had a few temples so it can be inferred that the virus spread a lot through these two areas. Shakespeare's play Othello, despite it being 400 years old has the timeless issue of a black man trying to get more accepted into Italian society by marrying a rich white woman. @frenchkikiI think most people naturally gravitate to those that look like them and skin color is a big determining factor. this is why there is relatively few mixed race people that aren't 100% white. So people are naturally prejudiced and that's why they self-segregate from a young age. The most multiracial environments tend to be schooling, work, and professional relationships- simply because everyone is locked in there and are forced to interact with each other. Then in their private lives they go off to their self-segregated niches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Communities tear us apart. They do. There should be one community: the people. That's ideal however it has never been like this in the US. What current trends have done is to focus on the obvious race problems in the US, and not necessarily in an accurate manner. I see self-segregation as largely a natural occurance, and not a plot by the evil white man. New York (TV) local news has been near unwatchable as it is almost entirely focused on stories about poor black people and latinos to the exclusion of other subjects. Once in a while there are stories about the asians and the browns, feminism, and the gays. The obession with race, gender, and sexual orientation in the media took off and blew up circa 2008. Prior to that it wasn't as strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to that it wasn't as strong. Self segregation happens when some "intellectual" authorities (like the media or universities) tell you that these groups exist. You don't see redhead gangs, because no one makes hair color an issue. But you see "racial" gangs. And it's not a coincidence if it happens in a country where the media and universities are obsessed by race. When you add the victim/oppressor mentality, then it becomes a nice time bomb. The media has a huge misconception of justice. Justice is individual, not collective. If people start believing in group guilt, then it's not justice. It's just sowing the seeds of civil war. Apparently some people like to do that. But then again, some people just want to watch the world burn... Good luck with them America.
