Socially acceptable to be racist?

I didn't try to keep track as I'm not PC.

The term "persons of color" can apply to ANYONE. In the sense that it's used, the term should be "persons of darker color".

Not in a pluralistic society there isn't. The U.S.A. has always been a pluralistic society and pluralism has been enshrined in our Constitution as a core American value as we believe it to be desirable and beneficial and our 200+ year of history of dealing with mass immigration has demonstrated it as time tested and proven to be a great benefit and desirable.

You're argument is based on the erroneous argument that pluralism and assimilation are mutually incompatible.

They spent a great many centuries trying to stamp out our own language in our own country, after all. They find the concept difficult, see!

What makes it racist?

Isn't the average IQ for blacks, something that measures "intelligence" significantly lower than that of whites?

Isn't there a larger proportional number of blacks than whites using social welfare and not working?

Isn't rude a matter of opinion?

Aren't blacks incarcerated to a higher proportional level than whites?

When you lump people into a category based on their race, it is racist. Especially if its a "negative" category.

How do you define "racist"?

Are you saying you believe the white race is superior to the Black race in those areas?

To say blacks have an average IQ lower than all other races isn't racist. It's a FACT. It doesn't say all blacks have a lower IQ. Only idiots like you call it racist because you don't like facts. Same with incarceration, unemployment, illegitimate birth rate, income level, etc.

Unlike you I don't define racist as stating a fact that you don't like. Numbers support everything I said.

To say 1 in every 3 1/2 blacks compared to 1 in every 12 - 13 whites is on food stamps isn't racist no matter how hard you try to claim it is.

To say 3/4 black babies born today is illegitimate compared to 1 in 3 1/2 white babies isn't racist no matter how hard you try to claim it is.

Facts are facts when stated that way.
 
I don't agree with you about the IQ, its simply not true and some say it based on several seriously flawed studies.

Will you answer my question...

Do you believe that, with regards to IQ, the white race is superior to the black race?

I don't understand that either. If you just state a fact, like blacks per capita commit way more crime than other races, you are a racist/bigot. Why? For referring to real data and facts?

But this is how the left controls arguments. Doesn't even let you present the facts.

The PC term that's expected to be used is "African American". Despite most of them never having been to Africa, they insist on the use of the term.

Which is just plain ignorant. They aren't from Africa, they have no ties to africa. They are black.

Are you European American?

What happens is just like liberalism, they have to keep changing their name after getting so much bad press.

I don't believe that statement is racist. It depends on why you think they commit more crime.
