It is racist because he is saying that he needs to defend himself from Arabs, which there are probably next to none |
You're wrong.
It's not racism to feel or say that you need protection from anything or anyone. It has nothing to do with racism at all. It's a simple expression of concern.
I do not see anyone writing in a way that is talking DOWN on any races.

The chances of a white person breaking in to his house are probably much greater, but he choose Arab as an example because of his perception that they are less than human, since this is the only way I can see him justifying the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of them. |
Heh, what does this got to do with racism? If a white person breaks into my house I'm sure I'll beat the living crap out of him, aswell as a African-American.
The fact is that if a Arab breaks into his home the Arab will also his reward.
"If a bear breaks into my home I'll shoot it" Is this racism on bears?
Is hunting deer racism on deer?

While the quote may not seem racist in it self, that combined with the "nuke Iraq for fun" sentiment leads to that conclusion. I just dont see how someone could fail to view the people of Iraq as, well, people. Those people have done nothing to me or anyone in this country, at least most of them. As for the rest of them, well, if Iraq invaded America, I sure as hell would be in the streets blowing up cars and killing as many of them as possible but when they do it to us they are being cowards?
DOS4GW: I see no other way than racism to justify killing an entire country of people for fun. If it isnt racist then wouldnt it be just as fun to nuke the US? |
Omg. I'll give you a clew or two:
"Nuke for FUN"
"Nuke for OIL"
Not:
"I hate all fu***** Arabs, I want to see them dead."
See? (Keyword, Fun & Oil (not hate, smell, or look))
It is not racist to say "It would be fun to nuke the US".
It is racist to say "I want to nuke the US, they are all white ass fu***** who deserve to rotten in hell".
For all I know anyone here voting "nuke for fun" can be white, arab, or bears.
I think you're fanaticly afraid of saying anything that can be understood as racism from a objective point of view, so you totaly misunderstand the reason.
Do you need to hate something or someone before you have fun? I think not.
Do you count the number of whites and blacks in a tv-show and if the number isn't equal it's race discrimination aka racism?
Do you think Frasier discriminates the Arab race? There aren't any Arabs in Frasier.
Do you think the Bill Cosby show discriminated both whites and arabs?
The poll isn't race discriminatic. Fun and oil has nothing to do with races.
We got plenty of oil here in Norway too. "Nuke Norway and take the oil." I can not see how that can be racism... Please explain.
