racist...

Nowhere is not racist.

The degree of severity of a racist action depends on who did the deed. Also important is the average social standing of that person. Like it's perfectly fine for two people of African descent to call each other nigger, even though neither might even be from Niger. Or whatever.

What's truly unacceptable is that an entity of much greater standing, say a government, or even a company, takes on a preferrential stand. While I'm not much for protecting the weak, what with all that culling the weak and survival of the fittest-ness, there's a thing to be said for these "guardian institutions". Those who can't adapt quick enough are probably not going to be worth very much, not at the rate they're going.

In fact, the only time a system should discriminate is over something you can change, like criminal status and maybe gender (harharhar.), but short of acid vat dipping and doing an MJ, you basically can't change the colour of your skin. And even then under that there's the whole genetic pool thing.

The only discrimnation I approve of, of course, is one that outrageously favours me.

Affirmative action is for pussies.
