How racist are you?

to think about it... well maybe a little...

but i'll try my best not being one.

I wouldnt say im racist i get on with all people and i dont judge my colour but sometimes you can be racist and not know that you are. Like in my area a majority of robberies are committed by Black people its a known fact here and so if im cautious around Black people here does that make me Racist.

Or White people here are known to be Racist so me being akward around them does that make ME too a Racist!

I think there is a very thin line, But Alhamdillah i have a mix of friends and this togther with my Deen has opened my heart!

i mean ive got friends from a whole lotta races...great for potential hols abroad!! lool erm im not fussed about skin colour, apart from comparing the non existent tans that we have with my friends....but hey its only PIGMENT....everything else is the same...

I aint racist sis but there is a difference between races. I mean if we talking as a Ummah then yes the ONLY difference is the colour of our skin which IS pigment.

But generally thier is a major difference. Like im now Asian, then im Pakistani and this makes the way i talk and look and act different to other Asians such as Chinese and Hindu's.

Society has made us like this and culture and identity has added to it. I mean many black people talk in a certain way, listen to Reggae and Hip Hop thats thier identity and Asian people dress in clothes that have that asian twist listen to music that contects them to thier culture.

Its only in the Ummah that we unite as one and its a shame that even now in the Ummah there are soo much sects!

I don't know - i don't think i can say i am but i don't think i can say i'm not (if that makes any sense)
Obviously its not you who can say for yourself that you're not racist. Its how other people interpret your views.
Wassalam

OMG That almost killed me

Yeah what is it with them? in Malaysia when I used to live there before there used to be alot of Indians (dark skinned ) around my area and I guess alotta them used the w hitening cream cause their faces would be bright and their necks brown it was soooooooooo weird
And another thing I used to hate so much, was the TV commercials advertising the brightening creams.......ugh...it was SO SICK :rant: like they would show this dark skinned indian girl who went for a job interview, and they wouldn't accept her cause she was 'dark' and then she goes home and picks up a bottle of that whitening cream and bleaches herself and then she goes back and the company accepts her.........what kinda stupidness is that???

It's the same with the Arabs though, the white Arabs discriminate against the dark skinned ones, I can never forget the time when I went to a friends wedding, and she was beautiful masha'allah and later on I heard a woman say " Huh...waste of time I came...she was so ugly...that dark skin " ffended:

But as long as people dont know how to be gratefulwith Allahs creation and to appreciate Allah's creation, that shallow mindness will always be there........But it's only pigment for goodness sakes!!

I'm not racist at ALL. I would marry anyone, actually I wouldn't even care if my husband was GREEN! Serious! I would let my children (if i get married and have kids one day insha-Allah) marry anyone from any culture. I have no racism in me AT ALL. I don't stereotype, as I wouldn't like to be stereotyped myself. Racism is haraam, and bro... u do seem a bit racist! So you'd marry a white girl and not a black girl? Why is that then? I think people should take a look at the last sermon. 'and a white man is not superior to a black man.....'!
People may think, yeah right, you must be a little racist! But truly i'm not, i hate tribalism, which is in the somali culture. I think it's so dumb. It seems like people will find anything to be racist about. Well that's about i from me.

as for racism lol, u made me think bro!!!! , i dont think i care about what or who i marry, i have all sorts of friends (black/white/yellow/brown/red/pink/blue etc). Like sis het sed, s'all about deen



too bad my parents want strictly asian/bengali/muslimah/hanafi/female...!!!!!!! so i gess there kinda racist

Lol hanafi? That's weird.
My parents wanted me to marry a somali person, from the same tribe as me first. But with alot of talking and alot of time, i convinced them that doesn't matter. And now my dad just cares that he is a good Muslim, and that he will respect me and will be able to provide for me. I think that's fair!
