Would you rather the world be homophobic or racist?

[Cicero]

Which would you pick and why?

[Abyssal Echo]

Damm dude wheres the none of the above box lol !

being Gay I've never heard of a Gay homophobic person so thats out.
I'm obviously not racist since I am seeing a Hispanic guy ha ha.

I guess the why part is because it doesn't apply :D

[Noirtier]

Neither one. That's just a hard question to answer--both are wrong for people to be

[Desuetude]

To be honest I see no point in the question. The world is homophobic and racist, sure it's getting better but it's still there. You can't have everyone believing the same thing especially in this case, everyone is entitled to their own beliefs whether they're right or wrong and you will never get "the world" as a whole agreeing to be/act a certain way.

[Magus]

Homophobic. Because you get to hide it. But you can't hide away your skin.

[Skyhawk]

Homophobic for the same reasons as Vomitus.

[Thunderstorm]

I rather the world just either blow up or be neither of those...which I know will never happen in our lifetimes.
The world would be full of hate with both of these, but I'd pick homophobic. I could stay away from a homosexual without bothering them. Racism is still bothering someone.

[UnknownError]

Homophobic for same reason above. It would be easy for a gay person to go "Im straight" than it would be for a black guy to go "I'm white".

[Green Arrow]

I would say neither because they're just as worse as each other, picking on someone because of who they are. However for the sake of things I would also say homophobic for the reason above. Even though I'm gay myself. :P

[Cognizant]

Homophobic for same reason above. It would be easy for a gay person to go "Im straight" than it would be for a black guy to go "I'm white".

This.

[Bath]

Yep, homophobic. Because if you're racist, people can tell your skin color.

You can hide your sexuality a hell of a lot easier. Even though that sucks, you do what you gotta do.

[Akasuki]

I wouldn't want to keep my true self hidden from the world and be unhappy for the rest of my life and I wouldn't want to be made fun of for my skin color, so I don't want to answer this question.

[Bolt]

I'd much rather it be homophobic. World wide racism would cause massive wars on a global scale. Lesser of two evils.

[kenoloor]

I was under the impression that "Would You Rather..." threads went in the VT Arcade. What relevant purpose does this serve in the debate forum? This isn't an issue, nor will it ever be an issue.

[Thunduhbuhlt]

Homophobic. Because you get to hide it. But you can't hide away your skin.

Exactly. It's a hard choice, but yeah.

[Mortal Coil]

Really? I may be going against the grain here, but so-called ethnic "minorities" are much greater in numbers than gay people, so they'd be better able to defend themselves, etc.
I see the other argument though.

[byknott]

Homophobic. Homophobia doesn't affect everyone. Racism does.

We've all got skin, but we're not all gay.

[PerpetualImperfexion]

If the entire world was homophobic than there would be no homosexuals to be homophobic towards, therefore homophobia wouldn't exist. Paradox? I think yes.

On the other hand, when you say racist it depends on what you mean. Every race, whether they admit it or not, feels superior over all other races. That is just human nature. On the other hand if you're talking about racism as offensive words/actions that's different. Ultimately though I think that if every race completely hated all other races, every race would end up a claiming a part of the world for itself, all the smaller races would be wiped out. Ultimately it would come down to the two most powerful races fighting for world domination and eventually the extinction of all, but one race. Or I suppose the race that wins could end up using the other races as slaves, but meh who knows.

[DerBear]

Racist.

[Neptune]

Two horrible choices!

I guess I would pick racist. I'm white.

[CacaoToCacao]

Well racist could mean anything. It could mean an Arabian hating a German. Or, it could mean everyone hating whatever they aren't. Be more specific next time maybe?

[deadpie]

I'd rather wish for human extinction. Well, I already feel that way at many times.

It's a double edged sword question meant to bring out the bad in you, because deep inside you there is something nasty. You might not believe this, but everyone has the ability to kill, destroy, rape, mutilate, and et al with the certain set of motivation. Answering this question makes you judgmental and your taking sides based on what is "the lesser of two evils". Unfortunately this question would never be possible to happen in our time, so the correct answer is to not answer at all. If you answered either/or, you failed for the trick. You've proven the flaws of humanity.

Would you rather your family brutally raped in front of you or had their arms chopped off knowing they'll survive?

Would you rather eat a heated bag of shit or a cold bag of shit? Either way it's still a bag of shit.

[therunaway]

Racist because, you don't have to speak out about how you feel toward the rest of the races.

[jakeisback]

I would say neither but if I had to pick one then homophobic because its not as bad a being racist.

[NotYourSombrero]

Same as Vomitus.

[Erasmus]

Homophobic, because, like everyone's said, you can't hide your skin colour.

[Amaryllis]

How about neither?

[User Deleted]

Homophobic, I already know how to face that fear, and I'd feel guilty as heck to be rasict.

[spark]

i am racist and i do not like gays.... as long as they leave me alone i dont have a problem with them

[aaayyoo_avery]

homo ..bcuz it seems more happy than.. being descriminated by looks >.<

[Ryhanna]

I'd rather live in a world where racism and homophobia aren't issues.

I suppose, if I had to choose, I'd choose homophobic. Gay people have the rather morbid option of hiding in the closet their whole lives, while skin colour isn't something that can be hidden.

[Neverender]

Neither. But since I'm gay, I chose racist. I know how to be racist. This is all the fault of the Jewish British Catholic Homosexual Native Elite and their ideas!

[Sean Silver]

this is hard to choose ahhh

[Wooba]

homo ..bcuz it seems more happy than.. being descriminated by looks >.<

But being discriminated by sexual preference is better.. how?

I wouldn't choose either.

[Professional Russian]

i am racist and i do not like gays.... as long as they leave me alone i dont have a problem with them

Your Racist??????

[Anselmo]

I don't really care about somebody's race, but i always have been just a bit homophobic...so i choose homophobic.

[Cicero]

But being discriminated by sexual preference is better.. how?

I wouldn't choose either.
It's just a survey. It would be worse because you cannot tell someone is gay. You can tell someones ethnicity by just looks. Therefor it's better if the world is homophobic. You can tell if a guy is black, Mexican, or Asian. You cannot tell if someone is gay or bi or straight.

[gothicsanctum]

you would be discriminating against more people being racist than homophobic
the less people offended, the better off the world is

[Magus]

Same as Vomitus.Thank you, friend.

Your Racist??????This makes me laugh.

[Mirage]

*Sigh*

This is a hard question to answer. I really can't pick between the two...this is a trick question, isn't it?

[Cicero]

*Sigh*

This is a hard question to answer. I really can't pick between the two...this is a trick question, isn't it?

lol it's not a trick question.

[Jacketh]

I absolutely hate both of these things. I probably feel stronger about homophobes because I'm Gay. I cannot bring myself to vote to be a racist though. :D

[Lovemeorleaveme]

Homophobia and racisim are in my opinion, pretty mutch the same thing, being mean to sombody for something they cant change, you can't change your race, just like you can't change your gender identity. And hopefully we will see a day where the word fag is concidered as bad as the N word.

[SmokeyBeat]

none ... bcuz most ppl i know get really offended by both things /:

[havingfun]

.............

[FreeFall]

Ugh tough tough tough. If I could, I'd pick neither. but if I had to pick, I'd rather the world be racist.
Being half black and half white, it's never easy for me. Especially when the racists say you've "tainted their race" and ask you "which one are you, you could have a chance of redemption in hell." Even other races have made remarks to me. Sigh.
But I've seen my gay, bi and transgender friends be ripped apart as a human for kissing their bf, shopping for girl's clothing with me and feel like they're wrong for being themselves by the homophobes.
At least in a world of racism they can be open about their love and themselves.
