Is it wrong to not like a certain ethnicity?

[vandell]

I'm not a fan of Filipinos, or Hawaiians. I went to High school in Hawaii, and they were always the one acting like the thugs in the school. Most of the ones that I met at my part time job back in Hawaii were usually really rude to everyone, and were the almost exclusively the ones we caught shoplifting.

I have met a few good ones over the years, but it seems the vast majority are just...holy ****, all the black stereotypes apply to them. That, and they almost always say the N word. Shit, they aren't black.

And I was born in Oahu will a Hawaiian/peurtirican Mom, and Caucasian dad. I lived in one of the poorer neighborhoods, all my schools were filled with them, so don't say that I'm just ignorant.

yes it is, just because a few people in one race does something stupid does not mean the whole race is stupid. i'm black and the whole world who watch and listen to rap thinks all black men are thugs we are not to say the least. I was beat up as kidby a white police and I do not hate or dislike all white people because the act of one. I also was call ****** by a lot of white people and I don't hate or dislike any race for the actions of a few. their are dumb and smart people in every race we are all the same and anyone that don't believe that is stupid. if anyone of us gets cut we will bleed red blood, if anyone wants us is lock in a room with no air we die, no race is better then next, I just wish the whole world knew this. its people like u that think like you that cause wars and poor people. I hope you don't have any kids for the world sake

I think it's absurd to determine personal morals based on popular opinion in society. That being said my personal opinion is unless you have first hand experience with all Hawaiians and Filipinos, I think its unfair for you not to judge all of them for some bad experiences you've had with some. On top of everything else, have you ever got a chance to get to know these so called thugs or are you on the outside looking in? Some people (from my experience)dress like thugs but our the nicest people ever.

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.

Nope, just like how I don't find anything wrong with disliking Japanese people because of their censored videos. Just kidding.

@bold: That seems to be the root of it. Generally its the poorer conditions and finances that renders people rougher and 'civilized'.

We are all prejudiced a little. Researches have shown that we associate positive features with our own ethnicity/group (it may be based on other categorizations as well, as a person's identity is affected by many factors, like social class, religion...etc.), and tend to associate negative characteristics with others. The 'we-they' dichotomy.

 

[Souji]

Sure, based on your experiences, it's only natural you would develop a dislike for them.

I could tell you not to generalize the rest of said ethnic group based on your own experience, like everyone else.

 

[Blackdeath667]

i mean as long as you dont go being biased about things or act racist

I think it is important to consider the culture a person follows.

If someone from a society of cannibals invites you to dinner, you're probably going to decline the offer for two very obvious reasons.

But at the same time - if that cannibal were to walk into your store and want to buy some things - you're not going to turn him down. His dollar is as good as the dollars everyone else is spending.

Unless you -really- don't like him. In which case - he'll go to your rival store and shop there. The only one truly harmed is you for declining to do business.

Economics tends to break down racial tensions in a hurry. It can't change what is on someone's heart or in the back of their mind - but a dollar is a dollar, a service is a service, and a product is a product.

Anti-Japanese sentiment was rampant following the attacks on Pearl Harbor and for many years after we dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. Many ethnic Japanese in America re-labeled their restaurants as "Chinese" restaurants (because we didn't know any better) and went on with life. Even so - Toyota has more manufacturing/assembly plants in the United States, today, with greater volume sales to Americans than Chevy or Ford.

It is natural for people to develop a distrust or animosity toward certain cultures.

I'll be honest - when I see events like Ferguson - it's hard not to use certain racial epithets to describe the rioters. I don't believe that to be all black people - but a culture of self-victimization and laziness has set in. Even amongst the non-violent ones, the "woe is me" and "we are being held down" sentiments are expressed while they demand food stamp programs be expanded and their unemployment benefits be extended.

But it's not just blacks. Many whites have fallen into that culture, as well. As have some of the more recent waves of Asian immigrants and the Latino crowd, as well.

The Ukraine and Russian immigrants will game the system, but they are fairly industrious, culturally. Those guys build some impressive basement homes (and then never finish the above-ground home to try and fool the property tax appraisers... which I don't agree with property tax - but it's still kind of funny).

There is a practical element to paying attention to what culture someone comes from and how much of that culture they embody. But at the same time - there is a practical element to economics.

If people are willing to do business with you - then it's hard to use culture as an excuse to turn it down.
