If you think this much about racism, you’re probably a racist.

Was it this Baton Rouge restaurant?

When the demand for racism far exceeds the supply. That’s what’s going on today in the US.

What's wrong with group preference? Seriously?
I’m no lexicon extraordinaire. Am curious. Do you mean Grouped by race?
As in, No matter the individual person. Does matter the person’s race for said group. Reduced to color of skin. That drives your thinking / behavior.
My limited lexicon says you are in the zone with this undertone of group preference.
Challenge me. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you mean something different.

Could you say lexicon one more time

Could be race
could be sex
could be sportsball teams
could be hometown
could be those Jeep weirdos
could be religion
could be DINKS or nuclear families
dog lovers, cat lovers
Which is my point... you read "Group Preference" and immediately feel it's about race. In reality, we self segregate by group preference all day every day in a thousand little ways.
But, hear me out, if people want to self segregate on skin tone, let them- it isn't racist, it's preference. Nobody questions China Towns or Little Italys.

Here's your challenge... do you find fault with Black Fraternities/Sororities? Does it bother you when Black people congregate at The Cook Out? Are you irritated and desire to insert white people, asians, messicans, whatever, into traditionally black places/events?

OR, and let me challenge you to really open your mind here, how much of it is that fact that the black crowd has made the experience for the white crowd less enjoyable via a more robust and expressive behavior? Not racism!
I’ve been to the Metairie restaurant approximately 20-times (sincerely) and the BR restaurant a handful of times to be honest. Two things are consistent. The race mix observation and solid experiences. Sincerely. Got me to thinking something else is in play. Two-way racism in play? Maybe? That did not jump out. But who knows?

I'm sure this is inconceivable based on your inability to see the world in terms of anything besides race.
If you meet me / know me, I will give you $10,000 if you honestly make this conclusion about me in real life.
I wish the world were far more together. Life is short. In my life experience and world travels, have found people are far more similar than dissimilar. Far more! Yet, this observation grabbed me and ignited some curiosity. Agenda people are for a post of another day. This is sincere question, distasteful as it may be. Not naive, this ain’t all on whitey. But I do dare to ask in theses two cases.

If it's "two way racism" is it really racism or is it just family/neighborhood/group preference?
I think racism is more likely to rear its head when society/government try to FORCE groups to associate.
Walk into any high school cafeteria in the nation and tell me what you see... blacks, whites, nerds, jocks, band geeks, theater kids, etc... it's natural to "group".

I think everyone has at least a touch of racism in them.
I don't consider myself racist, but if I see some, who happens to be a different race, do something stupid.. In my head, sometimes out loud, I am saying something about them and their race.. Just because its the first thing I can find to call them..
And if its a white person, then its just whatever they look like "you big country mother fricker!". So if this means I have racism in me and if that shows how deep it goes then..
But seriously, look over the top racism is uncalled for and I would think any adult realizes that race alone isn't a reason to hate another person, but on the other hand can people stop acting like someone who might insinuate something racist doesn't make them the worst person in the world.
And anyone who says they are not at all racist.. There is no way you don't stereotype people to some degree.

You see racism and homophobia in everything because your bias causes you to look for white racism and homophobia in everything. Your evidence will always be biased and anecdotal, but you will always feel superior by promoting your evidence as factual allowing you to promote your conclusions based on that evidence as reasonable and objective. They are not.
Which of 3 do you consider to be the correct definition of racism?

You’d be stupid not to notice differences between large groups of people based on race.
You’d also be stupid to assign those differences to everyone in that race.

Context matters. Always. This post is about racism. You introduced “group preferences” in said context. Untrap me, please.
See post I just made above. I will pay you $10,500 (upped price cause you seem to be solid poster) if you ever meet / know me and make this conclusion in real life. I’m sincerely seeing this outcome from these specific experiences. In these cases (context matters again), something smells.
Not naive nor do I carry race agenda. Far from it. My lens is life is far too short to be so divided. Worked IOC for decades and traveled all corners of world. Conclusion: people are far more similar than dissimilar, no matter the demarcation lines (ie, group definitions, Jeep owners included).

This is because, in my opinion, a great deal of what is perceived as racism is actually group preference.
I don't think group preference is wrong.
You can be colorblind all day long and thrice on Sunday- but there ARE racial differences. I tend to think it's a cultural thing moreso than due to skintone, but whatever the cause, there ARE differences.
Guess what? That's okay. There is literally no need for us all to be exactly the same. How boring would that be?
Also, unfortunately, there is real animus and distrust between racial groups. I blame that on the government.
Thing is though, if people are more comfortable with " their people"- how does that hurt anyone?
I'm married with kids- can't say I really have a lot of single friends. I don't hate single people, I just find myself around family people more often and develop relationships based on that common experience.

BS.
Have you named the restaurants and the specific locations and time and dates you went to both recently when you had this epiphany? Also, the timeframe since you had last gone to them back when you noticed more white people (which I assume you believe was due to racism in that as well).
Honest question - can you objectively criticize blacks or the black urban culture? Can you even answer that question honestly and objectively? Based on all your previous comments I don’t think you can. Which leads to asking have you stated your race and politics? Yes they matter. The everyone I disagree with must be racist or nazis Party or the we are like the soldiers storming the beaches of Normandy fighting these Nazis and racists Party cannot be objective about race or really anything these days.
quote:2 cases. Well that’s thorough… You obviously put a lot of time, effort, and thought into this before playing racism card on the white populations of BR and Metairie.
But I do dare to ask in theses two cases.

Context matters! These specific scenarios are the focus. The observation made was from what I am seeing in these specific patterns, not the other way around (ie, leading with bias and agenda, imparting my own limited patterned thinking that is tethered by biases). Not predominantly, that is, as we are all bound by our DNA and experiences, manifesting biases.
Discerning a multitude of different perspectives is how I try to roll. I think you bring up homophobia via referring to S Lebeouf post over weekend? Cant ignore the irony.
Group of posters took it at face value that homo groped hetero. No one on this board knows all the facts, including you and I. Yet, the string filled up fast with same bias that you point out. Inviting different perspectives was objective. Something I suspect (hope) we agree on.
Hear you.
