Racism today is much more subtle compared to the old black and white times. Though crazy redneck racists do exists, people often use this image as a stereotypical model of ye typical racist. Usually those who outright claim that blacks are a different species are seen as idiots and often left to their trivial delusions. They are easier to deal with considering that they basically admitting that they are a racist.
On the other hand we have those who discriminate in a way that most aren't aware of. I remember hearing on the news that some work places hire according to name, and individuals with somewhat "foreign" names lose their opportunity for employment.
The main issue revolves around a problem that is less obvious.

Quote from AshlanderTechnically they would not be made of the same thing, one has chocolate, one has white chocolate, and one has sprinkles. And, the sprinkles is the superior of the three.
Also, I find you referring to niggers as chocolate offensive.
calling black people niggers is offensive too

Nobody should find the word "niggers" offensive at face value.

Quote from CytheWell , for the speech I'll use donuts with glazing. So there are three glazings , topings , there is caramel , white chocolate and sprinkled .You can mix them together like caramel and white chocolate glazed , caramel with sprinkles , white chocolate with sprinkles and more , but no matter what what glazing it has it's still a donut.
Conclusion: No matter how a glazed donut looks or tastes it still has the same inside and does the same thing - gets sold then eaten.
Not enough of pancake mixes.
Seriously, you overdid with allegories. It didn't need it.

That's not what an allegory is.
Quote from ShensureiNo it's not.
"Offensive" doesn't mean 'should reasonably cause offense', it means 'does cause offense', so yeah, it is. It doesn't matter how silly it is to get upset about something, if someone gets upset about it then it is offensive.

Racists will be racists regardless of the truth. They're racist because they feel hatred towards another race for some unknown reason. I have a friend, who I don't speak to that often any more, who's extremely racist. When we discussed it and I disproved his reasoning he eventually admitted that the only reason he doesn't like them is because they annoy him. When he looks at an asian (indian) person, he becomes very agitated and annoyed at the sight of them, and he admits it's only the colour of their skin, how they look and act that makes him feel this way. I believe this to be the case for the vast majority of racists, and so any sort of logical argument isn't going to change their minds. It's not a rational position, it's an emotional one, and you can't change your emotions just because they're irrational.

In my opinion - I respect every race, however SOME people have a HUGE complex about it, and they would only find the way to find something offensive from anything.
My classmate keeps trying to find something offensive from me, to make me a trouble.
And if it keeps going on like that i may become a racist,
Which i honestly do not want

Just punch him the throat. Right in the adam's apple. Then call him a nigger/spic/ghostface/whatever race he is. That'll teach him.
