Funny thing is some blacks are prejudice against other blacks. Like when my black friend was working during the day and going to school at night to get her college degree, her other black friends accussed her of 'wanting to be white.' Go figure!
Oh, and Rocky -- is sperm kosher?
Yes.

Sigh. Just in case this comment was directed at my post:Originally Posted by Megan
The term "blacky" was used in the voice of the white middle Americans who were the ostensible target of the propaganda, and was chosen to convey the dark semi-concious id processes of this simple-minded audience. It was not meant to sound clever or to denigrate people of African American heritage. (I assume you understood this, but in case others did not, there you go.)
wait... so rocky drinks sperm?
yeah right
on crank yankers -- old tv show -- one jewish girl called someone after a blow job and asked if sperm were kosher, just had the same situation
I sure am glad I have better things to do than watch shows like that, or most TV in general
Answering to this topic is impossible. But it reminded me that ****** was ENFj and Stalin was ISTj,Hussein was ISTj, so perhaps the Beta might be the quadra who represses the most people around the world. And the Delta is the one, which is the most democratic. But I am not so sure this can be taken seriously.
An type ?
Semiotical process
Uhm.... you know none of that as true. Knock that shit off, it is quite stupid. Quit putting the quadrants into a subjective hierarchy.
Oh come on, Jadae...you can't say you've never thought of having your own little army of ISTjs at your command...
I think saying that ANY type/quadra/function is the "most prejudiced" is rediculous. While and are most prone to bias, or could be just as racist if they've been brought up to believe that certain things are true.
Besides, instead of looking at who the major world leaders who promoted racism were (even though Stalin would not be one of them), if we were to make any sort of accurate judgement, we would have to look at the supposed types of the thousands in jail for hate crimes. World leaders are so detached from the violence and pain that they inflict that it can't possibly be assumed that they are the "epitome" of racism.

Hehe World Domination is fun!
btw, well said Gilligan. (The main parargaph moreso than the ISTj bit )
Yeah, I know that, it's stupid all right.
BTW, Jadae, what do you think of the Relation of Benefit. By socionics you are in that with the ENTps and I notice how you show up every time when some ENTp posts an answer. What do ENTPs think of the relationship? I 'm sorry, if I sound stupid by saying this. I'm just curious if this thing works.
Oh, and I got my medicine and I should be able to do harder mental activities
like thinking more complex, so I should be able to use speller to check out my mistakes and to eliminate them.
I wish a beautifull day to all of you in America!

I think racism is about ignorance and has nothing to do with type at all. I taught a diversity education course to managers and staff in a company and many had misconceptions that affected how they thought about different races regardless of personality.
If you don't have many close to you growing up for you to see what they deal with in person and to enlighten you on that perspective, it puts you at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to understanding or empthasizing to that perspective.
Basically, I found there were a lot of people who had no idea their attitude was so xenophobic because their opinions were based on misinformation or lack of information which was causing them to have irrational fears. Information can be very misleading if you are only being fed part of it. Once provided with additional information, many felt much more aware and emphathetic.
There are actually lots of ways. Census information is one way. It can give statistical demographics as to income level, standard of living, and job type of individuals according to area and compare them with other groups of the same area.How do they actually measure racism?
Some workplaces will have self-identification programs so they can do workforce analyses to see if they have gaps in certain areas and identify why there are gaps.
Sometimes its internal policies that are inadvertently causing the gap, a lack of qualified applicants in that area, advertising for positions is missing those local communities, unspoken hiring policies of people looking to hire individuals with similar value systems (which is actually a form a discrimination). Maybe there just no people of that race in that area to hire.
All this stuff has solutions accept maybe the last. In which case, you wouldn't worry about it. But if there are not qualified applicants you can always do things like have a group promote that field to schools and to make sure its a welcoming informed environment.
As for the black on black racism, I see it more as the heirarchal structure of society being emulated down through the ranks. White people do this too with the whole trailer park trash thing. Rather than deal with the problem they take comfort that they are not the problem, even if they inadvertently are. They are looking at the symptom which they see as a problem (which it is) but don't always look in the right direction as to what's causing that problem.
I think poor people, crime, etc. is a reflection of our society as a whole. The more of it we have the more of it we are causing. e.g.not paying attention to the wages of the poor because you feel that because you worked hard to move up the ladder they can do it too. With increases in costs of living, service type jobs don't always keep pace with inflation. That can lead to higher rates of crime which does impact on you, your property value etc. etc.
People of a different ethnicity or race have to be bi-cultural in many senses. The US and Canada have different integration philosophies. The US has the "melting pot" philosophy, while Canada has the "Vertical Mosiac" philosophy. In the VM philosophy, people's diversity and individuality is actually reflected all the way up the ladder. People should not have to be forced to be like you culturally to fit in.
The Melting Pot philosophy is that all the different groups mix to melt into a larger group different from each as an individual. The problem with this is that if one particular group has a larger contribution to the pot then the contributions of those other groups is minimized, so their needs are not met in that society.
If society is the cause of the problem, I don't see a direct relation to personality type. Now, I might agree though that some types are more likely to express racist comments because they believe they are right and want to get on a soapbox or just because they lack sensitivity.

This is my problem with socionics and what probably drives some practical types like ISTp away. Socionics has a 16 types and a bunch of functions which have been well researched, but not much else has been researched thoroughly, so it hasn't really developed a lot since it was 1st invented.Originally Posted by Jadae
This is the problem, people debate endlessly about type vs a whole number of things, but without hard evidence through studies and tests etc all this debate is essentially pointless. Socionics = real interesting and certainly has many many things right, however there has not been enough research beyond the basics to explain many of the questions found on these forums.
