And correct me if I am wrong but don't many African Americans greet each other with "Yo, what's up N'er?"
And how do you know if or how Arnold used that word?
Get over it, I am called a "farang" or "The farang" everyday, it is a derogatory word in S.E.Asia and refers to all white people who are seen with suspicion and often contempt as invaders in their lands.
So yeah, I do know what I am talking about, more than you I guess. I am a white N in a land of coloured people.
I get charged more for everything, including entry to Goverment parks because I am white. There are no laws on racism here. If I get into trouble the Police will take me away as being White I can most likely pay more to keep out of jail.
Yeah, I'm ignorant on racism.
Get over it and grow up, stop looking for excuses, and stop worrying about other peoples lives. If it really concerned you you'd be less like a whiner on a Internet forum and more like Martin Luther King.... if you really cared.
I have prospered and done well despite the daily challenges of overt racism, so can anyone.
* Sorry if that comes off a bit strong but I spent the last week travelling and having hte locals try to screw me over on every point every step of the way, then you telling me I don't understand racism
