Stuff that people like?

Nate showed us a blog about things that white people likes. It’s called the Stuff White People Like. It says that white people are quite predictable and they made lists of things which, well, might be relevant but quite rude! It was for learning purpose art first. We want to know how people made their blogs popular. Sometimes controversy might be worth it. I don’t know why they have such guts to write these, I know it’s for fun and hey, it became the top hit blog! It’s just that white people might presume that the person who write the blog is definitely not white. And all the blame are on Asian, Indians, and others. This, might lead to another deep thoughts of racism.

What is racism?

Racism is the belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race. People with racist beliefs might hate certain groups of people according to their racial groups. -wikipedia

Why does it still exist on earth? I have to confess, even living in Melbourne with a lot of people from different nationalities still make me anxious. I have a friend who went to a university in Adelaide. He was just walking on the street and there’s some Australian who were drunk, and they just start hitting my friend with no reasons. Does this count as racism? I think so!
