In addition to the disgraceful comments made here in relation to 'nigras' and 'chinks', I have noticed some very disturbing comments made about Native Americans. They are rather demeaningly labelled ('injuns') and are subject to negative stereotyping. They are routinely betrayed as drunks, gamblers, and welfare bums. It seems that that some have conveniently forgotten how, just a few centuries ago, our ancestors ('the white man') came and stole their land, burnt their crops, destroyed their homes, murdered their children and poisoned them with alcohol. We white folks owe the tribal peoples a very big apology for the way they have been treated in the past. Unfortunately, that treatment seems to be ungoing here.
I guess this isn't a surprise, but it is very sad that people who claim to be in Christ can think about this way about their fellow human beings. ALL are created equally in the image of God (Gen 1, 27), and all have a common blood ancestor in Adam.
It seems some here could do with having a look at this book.
