Why aren't we allowed to dislike people of differerent cultures and nationalities if we want to?
72 Answers
We should be allowed to dislike any group of people for whatever reason we see fit. Surely it is out human right to do so.
So why is it ok to say we don't like say the French or Germans or Germans but as soon as anyone says they don't like someone from a country with a slightly darker skin colour then everyone starts jumping up and down screaming racist?

Everyone probably starts jumping up and down screaming racist because it probably is racist!
To be so small and narrow minded to say you hate a whole nationality or a race of people because they have slightly more darker skin than you is completely racist and/or xenophobic!
how can you say you hate all Germans when you haven't met every German?
(I watched a German film the other night and there is no way you could have hated the two girls and what they were doing! (mind you I did only watch it for 3mins and 43seconds ;0)).

I think it is indeed one's perogative to condemn an entire race of people based on your impressions of a tiny handful of them, just as it is other people's perogative to then call that person ignorant and/or racist. I reckon that in most instances of "I bloody hate the Germans/French/etc" it's more likely a case of simple, stupid, ill-thought-out sweeping statements rather than full-on racism. There's also that element of just parroting what the person has heard before, and as there's a history of people "hating" the French and Germans others will pick up on that and perpetuate it out of sheer laziness.
Yes, well said. Unfortunately some of these people who automatically hate, say, French people will be cold and unfriendly to an innocent French person who then has to prove themselves worthy of not being disliked.
Another one that irritates me is the disdain with which so many British people view Americans, often condemning them all as fat and stupid. Hmmm, yes - obesity and stupidity are, of course, NEVER encountered among the British.

I have a perfectly rational, healthy distrust of Islam. As Ron said, if they don't harm me, it's all friendship and love.
Weather they by extremist or 'moderate'.
The extremists represent the knife edge and the 'moderates' through their failure to condemn their actions or comply with anti - terror intelligence and their refusal to integrate with their host society is ample evidence they are one and the same.
Despite the token apologetic utterances from certain groups that amount to nothing.

Any adherent to a mono theistic Abrahamic religion is fundamentally fighting for socio-political power and each have their agendas.
All dangerous and all wrong.
As has been pointed out on this thread, I too have no problem with race, culture,
or colour and totally agree there is no reason to have.
Religion though is very different.
