    A debate about racism was brought up in class today. Personally I feel that discrimination and/or ethnic preferences is partly due to human nature, and so there isn't any possible way of us completely eliminating it. I do think we should make an effort to reduce it as much as possible though. One way is by leading by example. No making hateful racist comments, and instead, try to judge people on an individual basis instead of judging them by the color of their skin.

    I would like to hear your imput on this issue. What is your idea about racism in general, and what other ways can we work to reducing it?

    for me i think the cause of racism is that ppl fear ppl who are different and have little knowedge of them. cartoons and tv doesnt help racism much.

    casshern ... You do realize that those videos are NOT of Dinesh D'Souza right? They are of someone making fun of him.

    I don't know if you posted them because you already think he is disgusting or if you decided he was disgusting after seeing the videos but I just wanted to clarify. Those videos are not him.

    Yes, it is him. It is not a joke. Youtube is a very trustworthy source, almost as much as Wickedpedia and Fox News. Everyone knows that Clinton was responsible for the death of Optimus Prime.

    You ARE kidding right? That is not him. I promise. It's someone lampooning him.

    He is very right wing and conservative and a lot of people might object to him but those YouTube videos are not him.

    the intro reminds me of troy maclure (sp) from simpsons

    if u go to this webpage
    http://www.dineshdsouza.com/more/video.html
    and stream the video at the bottom youll find that the Dinesh D'Souza in the youtube vids are a fake
