I hate racists! Even White ones! - R.P.BenDedek
Well here we go again! 'Racism!' The word that every disgruntled political activist and/or non Anglo-Saxon loves to use when they encounter anything in 'White Society' that they don't like.
The 'Racism' card was again played publically a few weeks ago in Australia, this time by a disgruntled foreigner who didn't like our Prime Minister using the word 'Adios!' Sol Trujillo slams Kevin Rudd for 'racist' adios jibe
- FORMER Telstra boss Sol Trujillo has told the BBC that being in Australia was like "stepping back in time".
- In the BBC interview, he claimed [Prime Minister] Mr Rudd was a racist after the Prime Minister greeted news of Mr Trujillo's departure with the word "Adios".
- "I think by definition (it was racism) - there were even columnists who wrote stories that said it was," Mr Trujillo told the BBC.
- Mr Trujillo said "many Australians" had apologised to him over Mr Rudd's "racist" jibe, and that racism was a real problem in Australia.
I personally didn't hear the Prime minister say the word 'adios', so for all I know it may have been as racist sounding as does the word 'Hello' often sound out of the mouth of certain types of Chinese persons.
As some readers may know, I am a white Australian male, living in China. (7 years now!) When it comes to 'racism', I see it, hear it and experience it on a day to day basis. Of course it is not politically correct to say that, because within 'Political Correctness' Philosophy / Ideology, only whites can be racist: a discriminatory idea if ever there was one.
I know from experience that suggesting to the Politically Correct guilt ridden bleeding heart 'activists', that there is anything at all unlikeable about the Chinese, let alone that they might be racist, is likely to result in the threat of a sound horse whipping. You can make all the uncharitable remarks you care to about the Government of China, but to make any negative comment about the people is anathema. It's almost as if the people in the Government of China were not considered to be Chinese at all.
The reason for this 'ideological' distinction between the people and the government, is that 'the government' represents power, and 'the people' represent powerlessness. Political Correctness activism of course stems from the desire to give power to the powerless and in that endeavour, it is necessary to fight against every form of power and authority.
And given that China is ruled by a 'single political (read: totalitarian) party', it is apparent to the educated, that the Chinese people themselves are not much more than ignorant peasants who have succumbed to Communist Party indoctrination and propaganda. Anything they that might do or say wrong is not therefore, their own fault.
We 'enlightened western' ones know that being brainwashed as they are, the mainland Chinese are incapable of seeing incongruence in the things that they have been taught and therefore in some of the things that they might say. (1. Fnt)
We, (intellectually superior as we are), understand that the indoctrinated Chinese peasant quotes ideology and otherwise utters forth ignorance because he has not been exposed to the wider world. He has not had the benefit of our western education. He has not only never learned to think for himself, but he is not even allowed to think for himself. He has after all, been 'mind controlled' all his life.
If such opinions of the Chinese were to be in an absolute sense, true, then I personally would consider the Chinese to be a blessed people, for 'they know not what they do'.
We on the other hand, who do pretend to know / understand what we are doing and saying; we are surely not so blessed, for what we do is done willingly and knowingly with full culpability. If we know what we are doing, then we surely have no defence for the arrogant inhumanity of our actions, when we turn a blind eye to injustice, in the name of supporting our 'just causes'.
'White Bashing' and 'anti-White racism' is rife throughout the world, and most prominently in White Western Countries via the mouths and actions of White Activists. There are reasons for why the Activists constantly bleat their 'anti-white racism', most of which when not overtly political, are covertly psychological.
When we choose to jump on any bandwagon of political activism, devoting ourselves to chants, slogans and propaganda, it is we who make of ourselves, 'uneducated peasants'. Every time we turn a blind eye to the 'actual truth' involved in any given situation, in order to support the ideology of our cause, or worse, of someone else's cause, we do so willingly and knowingly.
I'm sure it warmed the cockles of many an activist's heart when they heard the recent accusations of Australian racism, but let's take a closer look at that situation shall we? That non-white, foreigner, Mr. Trujillo, lived in Australia for several years, not as a citizen, but as a worker. He is not some disappointed would be citizen; not some down on his luck migrant worker suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and white man's contempt.
He was a high flyer who was invited to live and work in Australia, and he and his friends profited by that invitation and that work, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.
If I, in order to earn that kind of cash, had to endure the racist word 'goodbye' as I return home to my country, then I think I would be laughing all the way home.
You can read the full story for yourself by checking out the links provided in this article, but for the moment, I would just like to draw your attention to a point in the following article that countered Mr. Trujillo's statements. From: "Trujillo's 'racist, backward' claims dismissed as sour grapes"
- Federal Liberal MP Don Randall used parliamentary privilege last night to launch a scathing attack against Mr Trujillo, saying he had been one of Australia's worst corporate executives.
- "Mr Trujillo and his American mates ripped apart Australia's national carrier but made sure they looked after themselves in the process," he said.
- "I note today that Sol is complaining that Australia is somewhat racist country. The sad irony is that Sol and his amigos bought this focus on themselves by their greed and unnecessary antagonism."
- Foreign-born executives lined up to say that Australia, like many nations, was coming to terms with the integration of different nationalities but they had never experienced racism in corporate life.
I want to draw your attention to what is underlined in that last line: "Australia, like many nations, was coming to terms with the integration of different nationalities"
It is in that line that the incongruence of accusations of 'white' racism can be found, and I would like to suggest to you, that the activists who have been pulling your heart strings for years now, trying to make you feel guilty and 'racist', have in fact been conning you, as surely as a conman trying to sell a packet of 'dehydrated water' to a country bumpkin.
Apart from the Political Activists, those who seem to make a living from being constant victims of racism, are those who do not come from countries in which different races / ethnicities are integrated. Put simply, back home is not a multi-racial country.
The reason there is no apparent racism in many countries, is that there is no mix of races to start with. There is only the one ethnicity. And worthy of note is the fact that in countries like the former Yugoslavia, where races, religions and ethnicities were forced to mix, there was simmering resentment that eventually boiled over into warfare.
Wherever there is a dramatic difference between the major culture and a minority culture, there is always going to be some tension. This my friends is something that 'evolutionists' will have observed in their studies of the universe, as 'naturally occurring'.
But to say that someone who does not like or has difficulty adjusting to the presence of a minority group, is racist, is just a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Adjusting to new surroundings and new peoples is always difficult. Why should it be considered less difficult for the native than for the immigrant.
Difficulty in adjusting to one's new and racially different neighbours is not a sign of racism. The non-racist country allows, encourages and welcomes other races into their country as citizens, and it's people welcome 'strangers' into their own physical presence. While Racists refuse to accept the 'foreigner' into their midst as 'one of their own', it is the non-racist who 'welcomes' the foreigner, and is prepared to face the difficulties of integration, and it is the 'non-racist' foreigner who also does their fair share to integrate into the mainstream.
This issue of 'integration' now takes us in a whole new direction to a whole new realm. Many 'foreigners' are not interested in integrating. In fact, it seems today that to suggest that an immigrant integrate with the natives is itself a racist remark. The justification for such being found in the fact that in a multicultural environment we should encourage and foster 'difference' rather than insist upon 'integration'.
Strangely enough, if the immigrant is a white man in a non-white environment, (Oh I don't know - let's say 'China' for example; although immigration is a virtual impossibility), it would be considered 'racist' for him not to want to integrate with his 'non-white' neighbours.
These types of issues and this type of linguistic abuse whereby people are put into a permanent state of 'double-bind' by slick talkers pushing political agendas, generates anger and frustration in those with brains, but is swallowed hook, line and sinker by the not so bright and those suffering from 'www syndrome' (Wealthy White Westerner Syndrome). Suffering from cultural and economic guilt, they gladly lap up the spin and 'double bind' that the politically motivated cultural Marxist intelligentsia put on everything
It's hard to imagine, but so many people really do not stop to think about the broader picture when the guilt trippers start their 'social angst' and 'bleeding heart' crocodile tears. Far too many people really are so mind numbingly stupid that they do just quote socio-political ideology without objectively studying it.
Yet I would venture to suggest that if those same people lived in a communist country they would not blindly believe and quote everything that the totalitarian regime told them to believe.
How then do we explain why so many WWW (wealthy white westerners) simply accept that because someone of a particular ethnicity accuses the major culture of racism, that racism it is?
Mr. Trujillo, the one who called Australia a racist country, was calling 'racist' the country and people who made him exceedingly rich in a very short space of time. As I intimated: If that is racist - then bring it on in my direction.
Those who constantly scream 'Racist', invariably couple it with an alleged synonym; the word Xenophobic.
Xenophobia is frequently used by the (predominantly white - guilt ridden - bleeding heart - social engineering) cultural Marxists, to trigger hatred and resentment toward white people; but as any evolutionist will tell you, xenophobia is "Mother Nature's" way of preserving the species. It is natural.
Of course, it is very easy for people who come from a country and culture consisting predominantly of one ethnicity, to accuse western white people of xenophobia when they, the now minority ethnicity, don't get what they want, or don't like what they get. (As if being white means you do!) A quick search for the meaning of Xenophobia on the web reveals it to be:
- a fear of foreigners or strangers - wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
- an intense and/or irrational dislike and sometimes fear of people from other countries.. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophobia
- having abnormal fear or hatred of the strange or foreign - wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
Evolutionists will tell you of course that in the animal kingdom, fear of strangers is quite a natural, healthy and observable phenomenon. If it is a natural phenomenon observed in 'Mother Nature', then why should we not expect to see it in Homo Sapiens?
But more to the point, I would like to ask how it is possible that in countries like the U.S.A. and Australia, where the population is mixed, originating in numerous countries, and where immigration is the mainstay of national growth, that the citizens can be called 'xenophobic'? Or does being white make 'blood brothers and one race' of all men?
If we had an 'irrational' fear (as opposed to a 'rational' fear ?) of other nationalities, cultures, and strangers, then surely we would not allow such people to come to our shores. But if xenophobia is the 'irrational' fear, pray tell, what do you call the 'rational' fear? I believe the cultural Marxists would call it 'discrimination'. You are a xenophobe if your fear is irrational, and discriminatory if your fear is rational; and both are unacceptable to the politically correct, who will discriminate against anyone who stands up to their B.S.
Is it rational or irrational to fear a paedophile living next door to you when you have small children?
Is it rational or irrational to fear having homosexuals living next door, when you don't want your children seeing anything other than a heterosexual world?
Is it rational or irrational to fear drug addicts or alcoholics living next door to you and your children?
Is it rational or irrational to fear a neighbour with a foul and violent temper?
I would argue that it is not 'irrational'. It may be discriminatory, but then, without discrimination, there would be no 'value' in anything.
Why is it that those who use the 'Racist' card, only see one side of the card and one part of the picture? Why is it that people who pull the 'Xenophobia' card, fail to see the incongruence within the accusation, and why is it that when people start pointing fingers at white society for their racism, that they sometimes use the word 'Ethnocentric'?
Recently I read a statement on a Chinese website, written by one Kai Pan. He was actually defending foreigners in China from some of the attacks of the more enthusiastic Chinese commenters. He wrote:
- "I personally like to think that MOST foreigners, however unconsciously ethnocentric as they can often be, aren't actually that out and out evil".
- Kai Pan: Expats In China Don't Need To Make Chinese Friends
I thought that this was a rather strange statement. We Whites are 'ethnocentric'? (To the Chinese mind, foreigners are: White, American, Rich, Christian, and have English as their first language!)
What does that mean - Ethnocentric? How is it possible for citizens in 'mixed cultures' (eg: U.S.A. and Australia), to be ethnocentric? Surely this is a misnomer and should read 'WHITE'.
To be 'ethnocentric' as an Australian or American, would mean that one would have to be focused on only one aspect of one's heritage; on one's 'Irish-ness', or 'Italian-ness', or 'German-ness', wouldn't it?
Can you be ethnocentric when you are a mixed breed? What percentage of Americans and Australians are actually of mixed ethnicity? (2fnt) Would 'mixed breeds' be entitled to claim particular 'ethnicity'?
And may I ask: What does 'mixed breed' mean to a 'pure bred' person? 'White' anti-White racists might be surprised to learn what Asians think of people who are 'mixed breeds'.
When Western countries like the U.S.A. and Australia, which were created through mass immigration, grant citizenship entitlement to anyone and everyone, how can they be said to be ethnocentric or racist?
The answer to that is to be found in the past!
Originally, it was the White European Immigrants who were encouraged to settle in our lands. (Our Lands?) There was official and technical racism (eg White Australia policy ( 3 . Fnt ). There was perhaps Xenophobia, but more realistically, there was just a desire to build a new country by replicating their old one. (For how long prior to the founding of the USA were places like England, Ireland, Scotland, and Germany multi-racial and multi-cultural?)
So yes! Our forebears tried to replicate their former society and culture. Those societies and cultures were no less xenophobic and ethnocentric that any African, Asian or Middle Eastern country.
Today things are somewhat different in the West. But if you are one of those loud mouthed ideologues constantly screaming 'Xenophobic! Ethnocentric!', then you need to get a grip man! That such things as xenophobia and ethnocentricity are actually visible, is proof positive that the country and it's people ARE NOT RACIST.
Xenophobia, ethnocentricity and racism are only ever manifest in countries that welcome everyone, and in which everyone is considered equal. They are never visible in countries that do not welcome foreigners as citizens.
The only places where these things are visible are those places where one can actually find a mix of cultures, creeds and colours. Let me put it this way: If you kept your lights turned on 24 hours a day, you wouldn't be entitled to say: I'm not afraid of the dark! Have you ever seen me show fear of the dark?
The absence of any sign of racism, demonstrates either that their is a big conspiratorial lie going on, or that the society is not a mixed one. Where there is only one culture, one colour, one religion, one belief system, one history, you cannot prove anything by saying that ethnocentricity, xenophobia and racism do not exist!
And that my friends is the incongruence in following the bigoted B.S. of the cultural Marxists; those social engineering so called intelligentsia who are nothing but political activists spreading false guilt as they proclaim their own religious version of salvation and freedom from the tyranny of the decadent masters of the past.
In truth of course, what they really teach is 'submission to their ideological agendas'.
How can any westerner think that the people of China are but ignorant peasants controlled by communist propaganda and ideology, when they themselves (the westerners) have neither freedom nor ability to apply reason to any situation, lest they be accused of being the enemy of the people.
How can any westerner feel sorry for the people of China because they live under bondage to the mentality of their communist masters, when they themselves (the westerners) constantly live in fear of 'Political Correctness', the 21st Century Western equivalent of the Chinese 'Cultural Revolution': 'If you are not one of us then you are a counter-revolutionary, an enemy of the people!' What do you think 'Hate Speech Laws' are all about?
When you adopt the ideological propaganda of those who would be our masters, without thinking for yourself; when you can't see the incongruence in parroted propaganda; when all you can do is find fault with one type of people (white people) or one particular nation (America), you for sure are nothing more than a 'ignorant racist'.
The last thing we need in the west today are more racists. So if you are not a white person, and not born in a western country, and you believe that White people and the West are unbearably racist, then do yourself a favour and go Home! At least there you won't suffer ethnocentric xenophobic racism.
And if you are not a White person but were born in a Western Country, and you think that the country is unbearably racist, can I suggest that you try living in another cultural environment and see how different it is. Perhaps you might discover that the real racism is inside your heart. Perhaps you only see one action, one colour, one explanation, one side of a fault! Believe me when I say, you don't understand home grown racism until you experience racism in another country.
But should you be a White person born in a Western Country, and you think your country is unbearably racist, then let me ask you: 'What are you doing about it?' My guess is that the only thing you are doing about it, is repeating all the activist propaganda - just adding fuel to the fire! You don't fight racism by becoming a racist.
And for all of you out there who have never been physically attacked (in some form or another) because of your colour, race or creed, let me ask: 'Is your skin so thin that words are enough to do physical harm to you?'
- Do you get overcharged because you are not 'one of them'?
- Do people point at you and talk about you on the street - all the time?
- Do people push you out of the way in a queue while giving you the evil eye while saying 'Foreigner?'
- Do people tell you all the time that 'you foreigners' are to blame for all the ills in the world?
- Do people spit at you because you are a foreigner?
- Do people pull away from your touch because you are a foreigner?
- Do people look down on you because you don't have the right accent?
Every day in China, I experience some form of Racism. And sometimes it drives me crazy. But I am lucky! At least I am not Black or Asian. Those Black and Asian foreigners get it even worse than we whities!
Racism is real and it is dangerous! Real Racists are homicidal people. The history of the KKK demonstrates that. And while not at all trying to downplay real racism, I would like to point out that many people do not realise that their actions are racist. Many do not mean to be racist.
But if you want to turn a 'non racist' into a 'racist', then just devote your time to trying to brainwash him into believing that he is a racist when he knows that he is not! That will turn him into a racist for sure!
Before you start yelling 'Racist', at least take the time to examine the person's heart. It is a damn site more truthful than your ideological activist handbook.
But as for me - I am an avowed Racist!
I can't stand foreigners! Ask any of my Chinese Friends. They will testify to it! Even recently in Yancheng I was asked: Why don't you attend the weekly 'foreigners dinner'?
My answer?: Sorry mate! I am just not interested! I don't like foreigners! Especially some of those American and Australian ones! I may have to live in the same building as them but that doesn't mean I have to socialise with them.
Question: Have you ever seen a Chinaman fall down in hysterical laughter? If you have, then you must have seen me standing nearby. My favourite expression in Chinese, which I use whenever I see a large group of foreign tourists, goes like this:
- (Expletive!)... so many foreigners! They shouldn't let them come here!
Yeah! I'm a racist! I think that westerners are too bedazzled by their own brilliance to see what is really going on around them, and too full of false politically correct guilt to make rational decisions about anything. But what would I know! I'm just an Australian white man!

1. Fnt My personal favourites are:
- We have 5000 years of glorious Chinese history - and -
- Mao Zedung set us free from the slavery of feudalism.
2. Fnt People from USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand are probably the least 'ethnocentric' because they don't belong to just one ethnicity. My grandparents came from 3 different countries. My cousins, in-laws and grandchildren have ethnicities that include: Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Philippine, Indian (Continent) Aboriginal (Australian), Russian, German, Italian (have I forgotten anyone?) With multiple ethnicities to choose from, which does one choose if they wish to be 'ethnocentric'?
3 . Fnt. RE: White Australia Policy. It must be pointed out, that at that period of time, such legislation was not racist. Racism is a new invention. In the past, Australia sought to promote in a general way, a homogeneous culture. That of course is what all 'ethnocentric' non White Western countries still promote today. They call it: 'A Harmonious Society'.
P.S. I really don't know what a 'Cultural Marxist' is, but I do love the sound of the term.
