    I think calling black people monkeys is wrong because it is like saying they are less intelligent.

    However, if by the Chinese having no eyes you mean that picture that came up of some Spanish team for the games in China, I don't think that's racist at all. I remember doing that as a child, everybody did, and still I don't think there is anything wrong with it. The eyes are different, that's a fact.

    That is the problem I see today, anything is labeled as racist. How about when we say Asian people in general work very hard. Is that a compliment or racism? To me, neither, just fact. Just like the fact that their eyes are different. Just like the fact that Nordic people are taller and blonder. Is that a compliment or racism? just a fact.

    Would stepping on your toes when talking about a Norwegian be considered racist (to seem taller)?. Probably not because tall is accepted to be something good. But making you eyes stretch when referring to Chinese, that is racist? Why? Somebody explain why please.

    Facts are just facts and they can't be racist.
