Sometimes, I would like to punch one of them, but then that's "racist". I'm Native American. Aboriginal. I know racism, and punching someone in the face for being a flank is not racist in the slightest.

@rdk I think that it's "racist" to not purely dislike them for what they've done, but to add "wow immigrants suck" on to it too. Just because they're immigrants doesn't mean that all immigrants are "people who exist to troll you".
-
@celestialmoonlight I'm not hating on all immigrants though. It's just the ones who make me angry.
-
@rdk Thenthey're just bad people, the fact that they're immigrants does not have anything to do with it and need not be mentioned.
-
@rdk I am totally fine with that statement. I think that if you want to live and work here you better realize that you catch a whole lot more flies with honey than vinegar... Even if that saying is really broken...
-
@celestialmoonlight I disagree
-
@critialcloudkicker And why is that.
-
@celestialmoonlight I see nothing wrong with my statements. They are immigrants, are they not? And I've never had this trolling problem from other people. Heck, I've only ever been the subject of racism once in my life and it was a bunch of guys driving buy calling me a "dirty indian". This happens from immigrants on a day to day basis.
-
@rdk I believe that if we want to stop racism we need to stop acknowledging race when we talk about a person that way.
-
@rdk Well, Why does it matter that theyre immigrants? People are people.
-
@celestialmoonlight Because you come to a new environment to get a job and a home you must realize that you do not share the same legacy as the natives. You might do things in a diffrent method ETC. You should be thankfull that you get the opportunity to do those things as opposed to go act all hoity toity and angry on/with everybody. The primary result that would have is that the native people go to grow a fundamental dislike ( as opposed to a judgemental dislike ) towards people from region X. With as direct result that your job might be jeopardized and maybe you will get fired. Starting the whole circle anew. But this time you have more reasons to be acting all angry.
-
@celestialmoonlight By which I mean that race has nothing to do with their personality.
-
@critialcloudkicker I think that is the most pretentious thing I have ever heard. We're all people, aren't we? Why shouldn't we all be considered equally?
-
@critialcloudkicker Just because theyre immigrants means they need to change their personality and instantly be nice to everyone here just because they came from somewhere else?
-
@archon @celestialmoonlight My basis for saying everything I did resolves around "do well and be recieved well" and "you should be thankfull for the opportunities that you get" ... I have NO idea why immigrants of all people have the idea that they can just roll in and go demand stuff. That makes no sense if you ask me.
-
@critialcloudkicker Why should you think that you are better than these foreigners just because they weren't there first?
-
@critialcloudkicker >Thinking all immigrants are entitled idiots http://ur1.ca/d8of2
-
@critialcloudkicker Yeah, but the fact that theyre immigrants doesnt mean they have to act different or be treated different then the natives of the country. Is it fair that an immigrant should have to be overly thankful for opportunities when a native gets the same opportunities and is not thankful? Why does the fact that someone is an immigrant even matter in this context? We are all people are we not?
-
@anarchycarcino @celestialmoonlight I do not. I am saying that I do not understand why some immigrants come in, have no intention of changing their behaviour towards us because some of us treat them badly, as such they start to demand stuff. All people should be treated equally I'd say. The current trend in Holland is that immigrants get special treatment over the natives. And I think that is equally bad, Although I am sure some natives will claim it is actually worse.
-
@critialcloudkicker I know, I agree that everyone should be treated equally. That doesn't make bashing foreigners right, either. Neither is bashing natives.
-
@celestialmoonlight And the current trend in Holland is bashing the natives because immigrants do get the full rights and perks package the natives do. When the immigrants start to use this to their own advantage without even so much as thanking the natives for their power, the natives can not help but feel gypsed when suddenly the entire democracy system is flipped towards building an mosque in the middle of town. This is currently going on for a while in Rotterdam. Most of the immigrants there are walking around hoity toity with the feeling they are untouchable. The native doctors are nice to you nomatter what the ethnic background, meanwhile the immigrant doctors almost all have a very strong bias towards the natives. As such we get back to @RTC 's rant about not getting fiber-meds
