Race & Racial Issues

I owe the people of Chinese decent and apology for words written to this site, and likely my Facebook Account. It's not normal for me to speak like that. I've been feeling guilty since some Asian nurses were giving me colder shoulders than nurses of other descents over the last week. One day I will write a page devoted to race. I do not have a problem being open with such. In fact, I have spoken to many people of many different races very openly. I have also been the recipient of much racism undeservedly from every other "colour" at various points in my life. Red, Brown, Yellow, Black you name it.

This is just incidental, but the most outwardly racist person I have ever known was my Canadian Born Chinese girlfriend. She had a terrible potty mouth. A great girl, an awesome girlfriend, she was really good to me but believe it or not - she absolutely hated Chinese people. It was so bad that I had to stop her, and ask what gives? You are a Chinese. She explained a lot to me and I understand her perspectives. It was all completely sensible. Sometimes you just have to listen to people and let them speak. Let them vent it out. I kind of missed her when we went our ways, but that's what women do. They try to get you hooked on 'em. Then you miss 'em.

I probably shouldn't say this but I want to. She brought up the idea of bringing her sixteen year old daughter in bed with us. That was a Red Flag. Do not go her house (ever!). Every guys natural dream in a way, but... that'd be like a gunshot to the head. I would never be proven innocent no matter what evidence I had. Interesting to think about, but it ends right about there. Delete all those thoughts. Women... they are not so innocent. Maybe one day I will write a page on that too. Yeah, they are definitely not innocent little... some are, those are the ones we love, but they learn quick. Quicker than us guys in that department I think. That's just... a natural effect of... being the pokie and not the poker - so to speak. My opinion anyways.

Honestly if you are Chinese and you are offended, I do not have ill will towards you. However, like many Canadians, I do wish we had our long standing racial balance in this country. I cannot even say I would want to go back to that if I could, it might be too boring, but I crave it. It was different times. And yes, I believe race DOES matter. It's who we are - genetically. You have to be insane to believe genetics do not make you who you are. It's pretty simple stuff really. One day I hope to expand on it in a more sensible fashion. Till then, I am going to state what I always observe. Everyone is racist. Everyone. It doesn't matter what "colour" you are. It is a part of self-preservation, self-propagation.

In saying all this it's the funny, the older I get the more accepting and welcoming I am. At the same time, the more foreign people who come here and fill these lands.. the more I want them to not be here. The reasons for everything keep changing with age. When it comes to superiority, I generally have had a very long standing outlook towards such. Superiority can only be determined by what one actually measures. Even at that, by who is doing the measuring. Not I that I think "whites" are the greatest people, sometimes I think they are trash, but Asians used to be my next favourite. I think lately that has changed. Brown people I find can be really great people. Do you know why that is?

Family. I find often times... they are very family orientated. Certain ones anyways. I am just left with a high sense of trust with many of them. If I look at you and I know I can trust you... that is really important to me. Blacks, I find blacks from the Common-Wealth to often be very good people too. I am not sure if it is culture or genetics, and only I determine what I believe in that department, but whatever it is... they got the right mix. The good people I meet anyhow. Hopefully this page relieves guilt rather than adding to it. Normally I feel terrible for bringing up race. If I bring up something racist, I will meet the nicest people of another race. If I drop it all, someone will act racist towards me. I guess that's just life. It's just the way life is.

Genetics do make a difference though. Say whatever you want, but do not kidd yourself. We are all different, some more different than others.
