getawaytkd Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 the dojo should be a place where everyone is respectful to eachother, your there to learn together not make enemies. anyone acting racist or anything of that sort should be kicked out.

bushido_man96 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I have not encountered racism in the dojo from an instructor. We as martial artists should be able to put ourselves above such matters, and emmerse ourselves in the training and evironment. Any instructor who condones this behavior is stupid. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Contrary to the popular belief.....EVERYONE IS A RACIST.Unfortunately, this is very true. Whether it is jokes or inuendos, it happens a lot, even if it is not meant to hurt anyone. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsey Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 never encountered racism in any form anywhere in MA. but then, at the dojos i've been to just about everyone has been white european, so there hasn't been much opportunity for racism either.

Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy.

Jiffy Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I do!If ever you have sent around an "Irish" joke or anything similar, then you too are in this group, that's just about everyone. Having said that, I think for the most part, no-one means to offend anyone by it, it's just a bit of fun. Same as blonde jokes, female/male jokes or just about any other joke that dictates a certain stereotype.When it is done to offend, that is a completely different matter (as is continuing when asked no to, even if not intended to offend originally). That sort of Racism should never be tolerated!! The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
