Is this accurate? Funny?
Australian Comic Aamer Rahman Explains Reverse Racism
Racism is a real thing, and it's on both sides. But I think this guys is...
Race will probably matter less and less as we get closer to the technological singularity.
How is reverse racism even a statement ? Why is it not just called racism ? Why is it if a black person is racist towards a white person it is called reverse racism ?
Did white people somehow invent being racist ?

Jesus, wanted to puke after watching this fucking idiot.
It reminded me of being back in college. Had to listen to constant rants of how white people are terrible, blah blah blah. My question is why do white people give charity money to non white countries? The only thanks you'll get is like the one in this video.
To actually respond to this video, there were many times when non-whites invaded Europe and nearly destroyed the entire continent. The mongols slaughtered half the population of eastern europe, destroying every city in their path, and then exacted tribute from them for hundreds of years.
Likewise the Arabs nearly took western Europe (France) in the 700s, and they did dominate Iberia for centuries. The Ottoman's colonized southeastern Europe for centuries as well, and they nearly took Vienna. There were many times when Europe was an inch away from being colonized (and much of it was colonized) by non whites. But the guy in this video obviously hasn't looked at a history book. Europeans had to put all their energy into not being completely defeated by outsiders.
You never hear about that stuff though. It's always this narrative about how white people fucked up a peaceful world, and now they deserved to be mocked and pissed on constantly by minorities.
Europeans WERE colonized, massacred, enslaved by Arabs, Mongols, etc.

It's just about controlling the discourse. Behavioural criticism is only valid in one direction. 'Reverse' is a weasal term to soften or belittle what it so clearly is.
Racism is natural to pretty much every people. White people did not invent it, though if we did, you could just add it to the long list of other things we invented.

The short answer is yes.
The absolute separation of people by skin color is very much a European invention.
Complete bullshit.... Egyptians were trying to kill all the jews over 3000 years ago....

When one ethnic group has more military power and defeats a weaker people, you can bet that there is going to be discrimination against the defeated people. This was the case in antiquity.
The chinese have a LONG history of xenophobia. I wouldn't be surprised if they have some of the oldest written records of it.

I bet this turns into a race thread. Oh wait.

What you're describing is not SKIN COLOR prejudice, but ethnic strife. Egyptian is not a race. Antisemitism is not racism, per se. You don't qualify as being a Jew based on your appearance, but rather your lineage.

I think The Great Wall of China was built to keep out "barbarians". Also, from wikipedia:
Quote:Quote:
There have been various periods in the history of China where a number of Arabs, Persians and Turks from the Western Regions (Central Asia and West Asia) migrated to China, beginning with the arrival of Islam during the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century. Due to the majority of these immigrants being male, some intermarried with local Chinese females. Intermarriage was initially discouraged by the Tang Dynasty. In 836 Lu Chun was appointed as governor of Canton, he was disgusted to find Chinese living with foreigners and intermarriage between Chinese and foreigners. Lu enforced separation, banning interracial marriages, and made it illegal for foreigners to own property. Lu Chun believed his principles were just and upright. The 836 law specifically banned Chinese from forming relationships with "Dark peoples" or "People of colour", which was used to describe foreigners, such as "Iranians, Sogdians, Arabs, Indians, Malays, Sumatrans", among others.
I'd demand my money back if I paid for a stand up comedy show, but got this shite instead.
I don't care about this guy's comedy, but he raises an interesting question. Does a Bangladeshi count as an IRT?

^^^ Well, speaking in technical terms:
Race in terms of the very broad categories of white, black, etc is historically pretty recent and a European invention, but people have been hating and killing each other over being "different" forever. Ethnic tension has existed for much longer than racial tension. You see it everywhere; Africans killing Africans, Asians killing Asians, etc. They say Africa is more ethnically diverse than the rest of the world put together. Ethnic differences is an oft-cited reason for conflict in a lot of countries there, and other parts of the world.
