Idolators - ALL

So if you're racist you're white.

Lmao.
It's like talking about Hindus and bringing up Caste
They are not saying all Hindus believe in Caste but wanting to address an issue that exists
Racism exists in these countries, that's all I am saying
.
But again I would love for us to stick to the gist of the thread
Instead pick a word here or there and disagree with it using your own personal opinion, is to me a waste of time

OH God! To the Eastern countries Korea, Japan, China
Yes, I know that. And the people are not white (not personal opinion, it's a simple fact). Skin colour seems relevant to you in this "topic" and if it is you will get pulled up for getting basic facts wrong.

Hindus get a lot of flak - mocked as Idolators - but a simple thought experiment proves that we are ALL Idolators

Imagine God deciding to come down to earth to visit us

For Christians He must come down as a tall, young, handsome blond male and answer to the name Jesus. A bit of magic, miracle and we will sing his praises
But what if He comes down as a Woman or a black man? Will Christians refuse to acknowledge God?
And what if He comes down as a Brown man and says His name is Rama? Christians might try to kill him!

BTW in the above instance only Hindus would not have a problem - God can take any form - it does not matter - God Rama is Jesus is Allah is the Buddha is Yahweh is Durga......and so on. Sadly, only a Hindu would be comfortable with the above sentence

And for Muslims God, since he is formless, might come as a Bright light and speak with a booming voice, male, of course

it shows that Idolatry can take many forms and that we are ALL Idolators

Fortunately atheists have no restrictions on idolatry.

Oh Good - I judged people as white based on skin color and I see lots of white skin in Korea, China, Japan
So please tell me how you judge a person as White - would be interesting to know
Does eye shape enter into this?

East Asians are not 'white'.
Please enlighten me - I judged Koreans, Chinese and Japanese as white based on their skin color and ample discrimination in these countries
But you seem to think otherwise - enlighten me as to what is "white"
I assume it is not skin color then, does the eye shape into it?

I think 'white' is a meaningless term, usually used by Americans. It refers to European people.

Historically East Asians were 'yellow', but this is not 'correct' language now. They're not 'white'.

It's not about your personal opinion - who you view as white or not
It is what the general perception is - blacks, brown asians are discriminated in these countries - there is racism in these countries based on skin color
There is racism in every country based on skin color.

I have heard of Japanese being considered "yellow" based on a slightly different tan skin color
But not Chinese or Koreans
I assume you think they are all the same based on their eyes?
Obviously these rules were made by westerners - do they still call the shots?
And we have to adhere to these rules? We can't say based on skin color Chinese are white?
Whatever they decide is the rule?
Who decided it is not "correct" language? Was it East Asians?
Are we still living in a world where whites get to make all the rules?
That's racism, buddy
