I have never really been to a Dojo, just a few training camps. I didnt notice any racsism there. Mind you there not too much in our country being multicultural.
Its a very bad thing. In our family we have a mix of blood of Irish, Scotish and Okinawan. These days so many people have mixed blood it would be silly to be rascist I think!! |

It would never be tolerated at my dojo.
Just as a side-line. Would people here continue to train at a school where there was overt racism, or any ism for that matter? Especially if it originated with the sensei/instructor. |

Blatant discrimination in a school would be a huge and accurate sign that the instructors or the organization is narrow-minded and ignorant. Ignorance and prejudice is closely tied with the inability to adapt to new methods or ideas, as well as the unwillingness to receive or accept innovation and/or improvement (whether it be referred to one's outlook on society or one's outlook on where his/her style stands). For this reason alone, I would pack up my bags and jump ship.

Racism is a sign of narrow mindness and I hate it. I have friends that are other race, other colour, other religion and some are even gay. So what?
They are great friends as long as they are smart, funny and open-hearted. And they are...
The rest doesn't matter.
And in our dojo there's no room for such things. Thank God for my sensei

Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.

| I have not. We dont have many other races in my area. Its primarily white. I dont care what race a person is. I go by who they are not what there skin color is. I will respect anyone who respects me. I go to school with other races. You know what I dont see any racism there. We all generally get along. I think some of the younger generation may be getting past some of the racism. Or it could just be my area. I dont know. Anyway skin color, religion and sexual prefrence should not matter as long as you are treated with respect. |

Fortunately I've never had to deal with racism in my dojo. But then again, all the students (except one african-american girl) are white.
Like that one comedian says: Let's just keep mixing the races 'til we're all one grayish color!!

It reminds me of some kind of saying: "We are not racists. We all know human race is WHITE."
Well honestly I wish I was asian or african. They are REALLY beautiful.
And I thank God for those many colours. Otherwise, after seeing white faces we would eventually see ... black ...
