Saying the color of a person's skin is not "caring" about it. It's like saying "the red-headed girl" or "the guy with brown hair" or "the girl with blue eyes." The color of a person's skin is just a physical characteristic.

But the color of someone's hair or eyes doesn't tend to divide people into different groups.

It wouldn't be OK to call people fags, because that word is an epithet.

And in a perfect world, everyone would strive not to offend.

Yes it does. Why should skin color be any different then hair color. You need to become more rational, and opened minded, and learn things more properly, rather than pretend to know all you are talking about

So, people would sometimes be racist against people of a different eye color?

The color of a person's skin is just another physical characteristic of the person, just like the color of their eyes and hair, or the shape of their nose, or their height. It is not racist to state the color of a person's skin anymore so than it is racist to talk about any other physical characteristics. It is only racist if you judge people by the color of their skin, just as it's wrong to judge people by their other physical characteristics.

But, in your world you claim that it would have everyone call people by characteristics. So what if the people are fags? In your world, they would be called that. And, btw, A perfect world would suck, as it would have no challenge, or conflict. In my opinion, a perfect world is sort of like the one we are in.

But no one in the world is a "fags" (singular is bleeped out).

There are people of differing sexual orientations.

Now I'm just completely lost. :rolleyes:

Hitler was racist against people who didn't have the same skin color/hair color/ eye color... not just one, he was racist against the combination of all 3.

Ok, I have decided that you argue with your mind closed, and do not take anything in, which is a huge flaw. You need to change or your life will REALLY be hard for you, and you will gain nothing. You are completely Irrational, and care for no ones iopinion but your own. And, you are very contradictory with your opinions, as you constantly assult religion, yet say it is not ok to call blacks black. I am dropping this arguement, as you are hopeless. I do not know you, so what do I care if tyou are stuk in your own screwy world

If someone makes a broad statement, they should be able to provide examples to back it up.
