Supposedly they gain the support of a minority group. Personally I think it's fucking idiocy (harsh language only begins to describe it) to cater to a bunch of minority groups that even taken together might not rival the size of the majority; additionally if you cater to many minority groups, there's almost certainly going to be some opposing interests between some of those groups.
Contrast that to the majority that for the most part has a unified opinion.
Now, THAT is something solid. And I am wondering "why didnt I think of this?". Sounds reasonable enough, considering how politicians think, and may I say, that they are terribly stupid.
Well, I'm "white", in that I look (and dance; or so I'm told) like a white boy. In actuality I count as "Hispanic other" as I'm part Portuguese (gonna use that for collegial financial aid).
But I mean really, racism is so ridiculous and (to me at least) is based on the (ridiculous) presumption that humankind is made up of several "races" of humans that are all slightly different.
Thats exactly what the word "racism" means by definition. However, racism has many forms today, and while someone might say that racism only refers to the racial separation of humans and the hostility and precognition towards different races than one's race, the truth is, that racism has many different forms of it today. (I dont think I need to make list, do I?)
That ridiculously false presumption that humankind is made up of several races of humans, separated mankind, even more than it would have been otherwise, and made us believe that we truly are different from each other, in every way you can imagine.
You can actually see racism everywhere, if you look closely, but I hadnt realised that there are countries that use racism to their advantage (governments I mean), and exploit people is such a disgustingly obvious way.
I mean, WTF, hiring people that are "black" only, or "homosexuals" only, or whatever, is purely 100% a racist act in all its "glory", and I dont care if the reasons behind it are profit, and more power for the people on top (which are indeed usually the reasons behind it)
I've said it before, and I'ma say it again. There are 2 things that really piss me off in life:
1. Racism and,
2. Ignorant people, who have been fully embedded into the system.
