You obviously think racism only involves the colour black.What kind of racist would have a best black friend? If he were truly racist, what's the probability of that actually occuring?
I'm sincerely curious...
Yes, motivation does matter, and in the example I gave to you where facts are at hand, there is no discriminatory intent. The Constitution’s protection of racial and religious groups is organized around the concept of discriminatory intent. I realize you have not studied US federal constitutional law, but the intent was privacy/discretion, and not exclusion based on race. And I should remind you that there is a privacy right here that is worth preserving. When privacy is invaded, a tort is committed, if certain elements are met and the privacy right has not been waived.Aren’t you a lawyer? Excluding an entire race is racism. It doesn’t matter what the motivations for it are. It doesn’t mean they don’t like that race. Hell, they could even be from that race. They just don’t want them to show up at their door.

It’s called Pandora’s Box.10 pages already and the thread was started yesterday![]()
where does she work ?It’s called Pandora’s Box.
Nonsense. Black, brown, asian, latinos and whites can be racist, be victims of racism and have opinions of what racism is and how to fight it.Are you white? Cause if you are it isn't up to you to decide what racism is
Agree with you about intent, but we are not in a court of law. We are not prosecuting the person who restricts ethnicities on their advertisement. We are not seeking the justification for the restriction. The only thing we can identify is "No blacks" on the ad. Regardless of the reason behind it, the exclusion of a clientele based solely on race is inherently racist, your honour.Yes, motivation does matter, and in the example I gave to you where facts are at hand, there is no discriminatory intent.

In the example I gave of the Asian lady of a very specific ethnic group- let's say Samoans- her refusal to see ANY Asian, as opposed to just Samoans, to preserve her discretion and privacy within that community, could be contended to be insufficiently narrowly drawn. One could argue there is no discriminatory intent when she just excluded Samoans, but there was discriminatory intent when all Asians, including non-Samoans, were also excluded. And yes that is a real life example although she was not Samoan but another Asian ethnicity.
No actionable discrimination there. Because discriminatory intent cannot be proven.
In your example, yes, it is. But in my example, there is no advertising. And no discriminatory intention.Agree with you about intent, but we are not in a court of law.

Anti white racism is not a thing. And yes, black, brown, asian and latino ppl can be racist, I never denied that.Nonsense. Black, brown, asian, latinos and whites can be racist, be victims of racism and have opinions of what racism is and how to fight it.
Having worked in Asia and Africa I can say anti-black racism in Asia is much more prevalent than even in Southern ‘redneck’ states. There is also anti-white racism in many places.
That message wasn’t for you, but ok.I'm not excluding an entire race.
I'd gladly sleep with Halle Berry or Priyanka Chopra. Just haven't come across anyone here in MTL that's come close.![]()
No. It's just a lot of ruminations that will not change anything for anyone.After these 10 pages of rambling, has anyone changed their mind about anything?
A lot of boomers are cool! I'm just being a brat hehe
There are so many forms of racism.Anti white racism is not a thing. And yes, black, brown, asian and latino ppl can be racist, I never denied that.
This is so true, push has come to shove in so many areas of the public domain. It is time for many people who have been silent thus far to be heard. The echo will reverberate loudly as they have become fed up with the public discourse and all the bullshit and lies.And we are seeing a lot more peoples who normally would had been just more conservative in nature but didn't care for basic stuff now rise up and take a stance. They are tired of being forcefully fed up values they don't agree with.
Once you've answered my question. Gladly.Reread my comment and the definition of racism.
Some years ago, there was a lot of criticism directed at Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson, who was an immensely successful NCAA basketball coach who won an NCAA championship, for not recruiting any white guys at all. His teams were generally 100% black, while most other teams had, at least, a few serviceable white players. It should be noted that Thompson's top assistant Craig Esherick was white. But he definitely preferred recruiting exclusively black players on his teams.Anti white racism is not a thing.
What a racist comment!Are you white? Cause if you are it isn't up to you to decide what racism is
if you are white, you are not as likely to be discriminated against when trying to get healthcare. you are not going to experience police brutality. etc. I see your point, in canada most people have it pretty good to a certain extent, but think about the history of canada for a second. you don't think ethnic cleansing happened here?There are so many forms of racism.
Not getting your dick sucked or not being booked because you are a certain ethnicity or colour is pretty mild compared to racism where it gets to the point of ethnic cleaning.
Most here have never experienced racism where literally your life and all your families life is in danger because you are different.
