@vulture culture: as for being proud of one's identity, i think it was intended in a sense different from the one you indicated - or at least i interpreted it differently. my idea was "there are some specific traits of my ethnic group that i love more than the correspondent traits of other ethnic groups", and "i'm a supporter of my ethnic group's cultural legacy". this is a notion of pride that doesn't involve any hostility, it's like saying that I like spaghetti better than bratwurst, without automatically intending to kill all Germans (who, by the way, belong to the same broad ethnic group, so the example really has no point). :D

2 - an asylum seeker awaiting clearance is not allowed to work and can't pay taxes but has to be provided with support money and accommodation, so in that sense some types of immigrant are initially a drain.

Same-race marriages are preferable to interracial marriages
1 - I'm the son of a white/Latino halfbreed, so I have a certain amount of bias.

My country has too many immigrants.
3 - There are pros and cons to the current level of immigration.

Racial profiling should be allowed.
3 - What?

Racial hate crimes should be punished more forcefully than those that don't involve race.
1 - Absolutely not.

Your race should determine how society views your potential.
1 - But that's in a perfect world where a white rapper or a black politician isn't able to make a selling point out of their skin colour.

It is not my responsibility to concern myself with the problems of other races.
2, I'd say. I've got the same responsibility to think about "black people's problems" as I have to think about gay, female, disabled, left-handed, upper-class, rural or old people's problems.

Foreign criminals should be deported back to their country of origin.
5 - Any excuse to get rid of a portion of our nation's scumbags.

Race is genetically determined, not socially.
5 - I didn't know it was ever in question.

Refugees should stay in their own country and solve the problems there.
4 - I realise that there are some situations where emigration is the only viable answer.

My country spends too much money on Third World aid.
3 - I don't even know how much my country spends on Third World aid.

Different races are naturally hostile towards each other.
2 - Different races, different ideologies, different fundamentalisms.

I'm proud of my racial identity.
3. I'm not proud, exactly, more grateful.

How do you feel about Rap music?
4 - It's mostly a parade of wanton mediocrity featuring shallow idiots with boring voices droning mindless lyrics about sex, money or how tuff they are over bland, mid-paced music, but there are a few diamonds in the slagheap.

I have to apologize, almost NONE of those questions were answerable with JUST a number.


The genre of music I listen to most is:

Metal, brutal death/black/melodic
Jazz, guitar oriented, jazz/blues female vocalists
Industrial, goth, electronic
Classical
Some *cough* pop

Immigrants are generally a drain on society.
3 Legal immigrants? Legal immigrants are what makes our society prosper. Illegal immigrants are a drain.

Same-race marriages are preferable to interracial marriages
3 Who really cares?

My country has too many immigrants.
3 Read above.

Racial profiling should be allowed.

4 If you're a cop, get an all points bulliten describing suspects of a certain race, would they be stupid for passing up potential suspects because they already pulled over a half dozen? Just because they need to fill their quota? I don't agree with the term "racial profiling", but if there's a tall lanky rapist out there, you don't look for fat little midgets.

Racial hate crimes should be punished more forcefully than those that don't involve race.

3 Ever hear of a LOVE crime? Crime is Crime. Don't start throwing extra adjectives in there. Soon there will be Happy Crimes, and Crimes of Desperation, and Crimes to forgive and etc...

Your race should determine how society views your potential.
1 Uh... it's 2004, there is no limit.

It is not my responsibility to concern myself with the problems of other races.
3 I don't even concern myself with my own, whatever that is anyways. *mixed specimen* I do not know the feeling of ethnic or racial group stereotype. I fit in none.

Foreign criminals should be deported back to their country of origin.
5 Absolutely. No further comment necessary.

Race is genetically determined, not socially.
5 Well, it is. *is confused* What's the difference between a bobcat and a manx? Genetics.

Refugees should stay in their own country and solve the problems there.
1 Refugees should be taken in wherever possible. That's a local problem. Refugees from bordering countries, absolutely. To go halfway around the world, that's not really being a refugee.

My country spends too much money on Third World aid.
4 Yes and no. Countries that continuously and methodically SHIT on ours should get their aide dropped. Fuck ungrateful people. So many people/countries that just want to point the finger at some other country.

Different races are naturally hostile towards each other.
4 You fight that which you are not similar. Hunter/Prey... yadda yadda. It's instinctual, but one can be "conditioned" from birth.

I'm proud of my racial identity.
3 I'm just another shitty human being amist a bunch of other shitty human beings. :p

well, what's the point in being proud of your racial identity? you didn't do anything for it, did you? it was sheer accident, why should i be proud? i can only be proud of stuff i did by myself.
I agree with this myself, racial identity to me is just another way for others to put you down or vice versa...Why class people by race in the first place when it only causes more problems...

Depends on your country and their situation/policy. If you offer free shelter and full support for them it's a drain since they'll come in and stay as freeloaders, but if you have decent policies then they can help.

Same-race marriages are preferable to interracial marriages
1
Who cares? (you can't see in the dark anyway ;) :p :lol: )

My country has too many immigrants.
2
Maybe a problem in some areas, I'm not really in a situation to be effected by it.

Racial profiling should be allowed.
3
If you're going to insist on everything being politically correct, no. If you insist on due process for child molesters and murderers, then no. If you try to operate efficiently, it may be some help with some issued, but races and religions mix. See the white kid in Harlem? He thinks like all the black people there. See the black kid in Connecticut? He thinks like all the rich white kids. This isn't meant to be stereotypical or offensive, but unless you emphasize race, the people around you will effect you more than what color your skin is.

Racial hate crimes should be punished more forcefully than those that don't involve race.
4
If you can efficiently tell which ones are racially motivated then sure, but around here (Connecticut/USA), anyone trying to be PC says anything done to a minority is "racially motivated". If a mexican punches me, I'm going ot punch him the same way I would to any white kid.

Your race should determine how society views your potential.
1
Your mind should. Unless you want someone to run spy on a KKK nudist colony, it shouldn't matter.

It is not my responsibility to concern myself with the problems of other races.
3
If it's a complete stranger, not my problem. If it's a friend of a different race, then I'll help. I don't care about someone's race when I help them. If someone's drowning, I'll help. If someone's whining about something little, fuck them.

Foreign criminals should be deported back to their country of origin.
2
Punish them however anyone would be then kick them out. Fuck spending money on sending them back under security. If they shoot someone or rape someone, put them on a boat, cruise out to international waters, then throw them there. Not happening in our country. If they deserve it, give it to them. If they do something less serious, you can punish them and let them stay.

Race is genetically determined, not socially.
3
depends. if you consider religion race, then no. genetic skin colors aren't always defined. not everyone is paste white or plain black. there's shading. I've known white kids with tans darker than black kids. This is another contributing factor to why this is fuckign stupid (racism and tanning :p)

Refugees should stay in their own country and solve the problems there.
3
If they can be productive and contribute to our society like we do, let them. If they're freeloaders on our good will and kindness, fuck off.

My country spends too much money on Third World aid.
2 (USA)
We spend too much trying to take control of other countries, and not aiding third world countries we aren't commercializing. If we're going to help them, thne help them well and the right way. If you insist on a perfect image and political correctness, help the countries that need help from poverty and famine, not from dictators we put there. They'll hate us in a few years anyway. If you want to be self sufficient an not PC, if they don't help us back, fuck them. You don't need to try to control the world and make a few asskissers praise us at a huge expense.

Different races are naturally hostile towards each other.

Ooops, I'm banned from the computer from doing that now. :( :loco:
Also, do you need more test subjects for variety? (as most of the peeps here like metal) If so, ask me as I know some more boards...

That's how I interpreted it as, because I'm proud of all that my ancestors have done... but don't feel my people are superior to other races.
