Like use your race as leverage to get a job, or claim racism for being declined or rejected for something?
Is accepting grants or loans or medical care based on race as bad? |
|
Seeing as I'm white, I don't think I'm allowed to play the race card.
|
|
+1 - I'm who the race card is played against. |
|
|
Seeing as I'm white also, attempting to play the race card would probably land me in prison.

You could always play the Sex Card (claim sexism/discrimination)........ |

Personally, I'm tired of the black man keepin the crackahs down.

Ditto that... I am half injun(wagon burner) and ill be darned if I accept anything based on my skin color or race. I am not sure if playing the Redskin card even works... Heck here in Texas people just think I am another Mexican... IIRC isnt that the WHOLE basis on the "I had a dream speech"???? Not to be judged by the color of your skin...I would assume this goes for getting a job for which you are not qualified for. |

I know the population here isn't 100% cracka.
Not that white folks are all that homogenous, I mean, you call a mick a limey and you got a fight on your hands, and call any of them a frog and see what happens. ETA: Ich Bin Ein Spearchucker. |

Not for me. I hate feminism and all that crap. EDIT: But you're right, the point is that I could play it. |

Just get some shoepolish and throw some on the exposed areas before the interview...Works great! |

I put down African american on all forms when asked except for military stuff.
I'm white as copy paper. They won't even bring it up, they wouldn't dare. My great gramma was 50% indian and black. |
|
I'm white, but I'm lobbying for rednecks to be granted minority status...
Just wait! |
|
I read somewhere that if you were 1/32 black, you were considered black...maybe that was a state thing. It was a long time ago. America is a weird place as you are considered a minority even if only the amount of minority blood in you is a minority of your make up.. Am I considered Irish and German because I am 3/4 that? Nope. My blonde haired kids are considered eskimo too. Weird fookin' world this is. Anyhow, I take it that the consensus is that if I were to involve myself in some of the business loan programs that the state here offers natives that many of you would not look favorably upon that. |

Been there, done that. Lotsa black girls up here go with white guys because all the decent black guys are taken, and the rest hook up with white girls who are trying to piss off daddy. |

When I hear someone use race as a reason for inferiority or preferential treatment, I vomit in my mouth. Then, I kill a kitten.

Playing the race card is for losers with nothing to offer. If you're a top notcher, you get in anyway. |

Once, but only as a joke because the bastards at Outback Steakhouse wouldn't let our massive group of asians in

Like use your race as leverage to get a job, or claim racism for being declined or rejected for something?
Sorry. I'm of Swedish, English, German , and French extraction. I had to fall back on competence for leverage. |

I would have thought the frog in you would have held you back. |

I'm a minority (Asian) but being Asian doesn't get you any special preferences. Minority scholorships? Just the opposite, you don't qualify and you gotta score extra high just to get into your college of choice because of quotas. Get attacked by blacks because of your race? Not a hate crime (but it would be if it were the other way around). I've never felt it helped me get any jobs.
I don't think grants/scholarships for certain groups is wrong if it's from a private institution. ie Bill Cosby wants to set up a foundation to give money to disadvantaged blacks, nothing wrong with that. The government however should not be giving preferences to anyone IMO. Discriminating one group to atone for past dicrimination against another group doesn't do anyone any good. |

Does that really work?? |

In advertently I may have. I'm a big polish-german American but I tan very easily and used to have long hair. I got my bachelors at a small arizona state college and when I applied to a big time Northeastern university for my Ph.D. I definately got the impression people thought I was American Indian. Whooops. |
