I’M SICK OF PEOPLE DISSING ONE RACE OR ANOTHER. THERE’S ALWAYS GOING TO BE A FUCKING RACIST IN EVERY RACE!! THATS A FACT! IT’S ALSO VERY IGNORANT TO JUDGE A PERSON BY THERE SKIN COLOR, HAIR AND NOT TO MENTION ATTITUDE. I’M HISPANIC AND PEOPLE THINK I’M WHITE! I HAVE A DIVERSE BACKGROUND AND FAMILY. I THINK IT’S A BEAUTIFUL THING WHEN I SEE COUPLE OF A DIFFERANT RACE. SO STOP ALL THIS RACIST SHIT!! IT’S REALLY GETTING OLD.

The mentality of the majority of you fucking idiots is frightening. Try practicing racial indifference as opposed to tolerance. The only commendable acts of tolerance are carried out by the the people who tolerate your dumb asses on a daily basis.
