According to “modern politically correct society”, this man’s message is one of valiant struggle.

But change the speaker to “a white guy”, substitute “white” for “Mexicano”, substitute “Aryan Nation” for “La Raza”, substitute “Aryan Front” for “Northern Front of a Latin American Revolutionary Movement”… just make those small changes to his speech, but you can keep “our people” as “our people”. Suddenly, this same message becomes racist, again by modern politically correct standards. Why the double-standard? And how is it this man — who is angry about racism — doesn’t see his own racism? He is angry about racism directed at him, but then lashes out with racism of his own?

He claims superiority and justification due to his racial/ethnic heritage. He’s wanting to separate himself from the rest of the world and beat the rest of the world down (or at least “whites”), because they are not of his racial/ethnic heritage. And he wants only the people of his same ethnic/racial background to join him. Is that not racism?

If we really want to stop racism, we have to stop racism. Racism isn’t “whites oppressing non-whites”, it’s anyone claiming superiority due to their race, it’s anyone putting someone else down because of their race. It’s using race for leverage, for politics, as a rallying point, especially for selfish gain.

If you want people to stop caring about your race, you have to stop caring about your race. If you separate yourself from others by your race, expect others to separate you from others by your race.

I know my ethnic background, but I see myself as a human. The only groups I tend to split people into are good people and assholes. Being good or being an asshole has nothing to do with your ethnic background, your level of education, your economic status, gender, religious practice. It’s only a matter of what sort of person you choose to be and how you treat others around you.
