Life / Poles are not racist [873]

Grzegorz_! You're a hot blooded patriot. Respect you, yo!

I can feel the heat turning up on this thread. It started out innocuous. But isn't that way anymore. Let's not get too judgemental, yo! If you really want to see what havoc racism can wreck, go to Sudan where they're slaughtering women and children in the most horrific ways. Racism in any form - mild or wild - is a total lack of respect and a bankruptcy of ideals. The opposite of racism isn't tolerance. It's mutual respect. Wow! This beer is strong stuff, hic!

Def. not, Change. I see what has incensed you. Two days ago, an Iranian student was stabbed in the heart and has his wrist slit by a pack of Russians in Moscow. This was just outside his embassy. He succumbed to his injuries in the ambulance that was driving him to the hospital. The paramedics did all they could to keep him alive, but in vain. Ironically, these paramedics were Russians, too. My point is, if Russians plunged the dagger, then who were they who tried to dress the wound? They were Russians too. What's the difference between the ones that stabbed the Iranian kid and the ones that tried to save him? It's the mindset.

The sad truth is, there's a racist in each of us. We constantly profile people. We evaluate characters. We assign value and worth to individuals based on the colour of the skin, on their accent, on their faith and beliefs. But the difference between you and the Poles who beat up the sorry bloke, is that you have the strength of conviction and the dignity of character to show restraint and to constantly correct/check yourself.

I understand your rage against the racially-inspired attacks and the failure of the world system . But by choosing to refrain from generalising most Poles as racists, you won't be defeated by the system... you'll be rising above it.

Change, you're a good dog, yo! An open mind closes many an arguement. I'm not Polish, I'm not English, I'm not Asian. I'm human. Just like you. And I love London :) great city!!!

I shot an ad film with a director from LA. He said that whenever he needed to find the latest trends or the touch the pulse of the mainstream youth, he makes a beeline not to NY, Paris or Milan - but to London. Because that's where 'cool' lives, he rekcons. Not many disagreed.
