You gotta love it: you call someone a moronic f-wit and they ban you, but it's fine to start a thread on racism and how it manifests.

Do I personally believe the idea has merit? Not at all. However, if others can discuss it in a calm and intellectual manner then why stop it? There is nothing in the TOS that disapproves of this, different people find different topics unpleasant, it happens. The Senate functions in exactly that way and doesn't always have to be the only place for mature topics like this. As long as people are civil, we do not try and stifle creative debate.

The_Chibi_Kiriyama posted:Seriously people, racism is a train of thought. You want the train of thought to go away so badly? Prove the self-proclaimed 'racists' wrong? It's a secret. No, come closer to the screen, I have something to say that you might want to read... STOP ACKNOWLEDGING IT! Hope that solves the racism issue in society (...as if...).
TheReturnofKardarl posted:This is ridiculous. Racism in Star Wars? Thats just weak. Thats like saying Mickey Mouse worships Satan. Don't you have something more productive to do? How did this topic ever get created, and why hasn't it been locked along time ago. THERE IS NO RACISM IN STAR WARS. Deal with it. I can't stand it when someone uses the race card at every oppurtunity, ecspecially when there is no justification for the remark in the first place. And in the end what happens is that something innocent and pure such as Star Wars is subjected to this kind of crap. Get a life. Of all the topics people could be discussing, why is it this one? There is absolutley no reason for this. It's just awaste of everyone's time when we could be talking about something else. I suggest whoever started this should take there lame crusade to some other forum. Racism does not exist in Star Wars, period. End of discussion. Maybe if we all stop talking about it, this thread will die. No reason to keep beating a dead horse.
sushimilk posted:lets have a serious discussion about if racism played a factor in anakins turn or sidious power hunger. one point i would like to make is of course there are many races in the star wars series. no mistake about that. but surely there has to exist some sort of supremecy thoughts amongst some of the races, creeds and colors. I dont want to make this a black or white issue, but let just state that if you look at the obvious, in no way did anakin seem to respect mace. maybe not because he was black, but because perhaps he was different?? why did he feel compelled to talk to yoda about his nightmares instead of mace? yet he felt it better to tell mace about his discovery of palps being a sith and not hologramming a message to yoda instead. whats the issue with that? mace had his own choice of words. " i dont trust him". pretty sad when your own master says such words, and you know anakin despises him for it. dare i say it?? So with that in mind, both sids and anakin seemed to have a more personal look about the whole Mace situation if you look really hard at the expressions. not in the im a sith and you are jedi kind of way. 1 example too would be that all wookies become slaves or something to that affect.from what we have seen, all sith have been human or humanoid, so were they predjudice against non humanoid races and specific colors? one line i would like to point out and think hard on this one. sids "my little ((green)) friend" that was a slur, and not something sids used to be descriptive... opinions?
