Shouldn't discussions about racism go in humanities? This is the suggestions forum... but whatever, its arnox's forum.

It is natural for groups of humans to hate those not in their groups.  It happens in the wild, too, with animals and plants.  With people, yes there was such a thing as different 'groups' of people fighting and hating each other, and avoiding each other, but in the majority of cases (just like today) the rival groups looked pretty much identical to each other, physically.

Too bad that all humans are part of one big group - humanity. And I would hardly say that animals HATE one another.

Furthermore it's pretty silly to say there's no such thing as racism. For thousands of years different ethnic groups have fought each other, each thinking the other to be a barbaric race of heathens. Upper and lower egypt, rome vs the goths, gauls, carthage, and well anyone that wasn't roman, the japanese vs the chinese, etc etc...

you might as well argue there's no such thing as religious extremism, just people with different views that sometimes may or may not be violent. you're not doing anything to clarify the issues, only obscure them by arguing over semantics.

I asked for smilies to be added.

If you read my post closely you would see that I typed that it is just as likely that groups of people fought other groups of people that looked and were identical to them.  Is that 'racist'?  How is it only 'racist' if the groups look different?

And I would hardly say that animals HATE one another.

But let one animal go into another animals territory and watch what happens.

That is not hate that is survival.

Yes, same with humans.  But we 'play semantic games' and call it 'hate'.

"The natural order" as human beings is actually to progress beyond discrimination and violence into peace and stuff.

Is that merely your opinion or do you have a citation to support that statement?

The evidence is found in your heart.  If it's not clear to you then you're probably too "me me!" when the truth is more like "tree, tree."
