<p>Hey this is my freshman year in college and I've been having some problems with my roommate recently. So I'm white and hes black. Which is cool because neither of us are racist. </p>
<p>Everything was going fine until about a month ago when I went home for the weekend. We usually don't touch each other's snacks and stuff. When I came back he had emptied out all of my snacks and drinks in just the two days that I was gone. I was only slightly <strong><em>ed but I let it go and didn't even mention it to him. Then the next morning when I woke up I noticed something weird about my pillow. I looked in my pillow case and there was a wad of rolled up toilet paper inside of it. It had no idea what was inside it but it looked nasty as *</em></strong>. So I talked to him about it and he got ***ed right away. I wasn't even accusing him because I don't even know if he did it or not but he just assumed I was accusing him. I wanted to kick his lame ass right then and there (I'm kinda ripped) but I didn't want to get kicked out of school. </p>
<p>Anyway we got past that and we're talking again now. Now there's another problem though. His friend and him hang out in our dorm all the time and they're loud as ****. They always watch or play football and for some reason think they can yell at the top of their lungs while I'm trying to study. I don't even stay in the dorm most of the time but whenever I'm there, they're always there shouting and being loud. So most of the time I have to go to the library to get anything done. My roommate is pretty much a loser. He smokes weed all day and never EVER leaves the dorm. He's the most antisocial person I've ever met. </p>
<p>Anyway sorry for the long post but do you guys think it would be unreasonable for me to tell them to **** or be more quiet? I don't wanna seem like a dick but it's really starting to **** me off and I might just get really ****ed and kick both of their asses one of these days.</p>
<p>“So I’m white and hes black. Which is cool because neither of us are racist.”</p>
<p>So how does this relate at all to your question??</p>
<p>That being said, you are not wrong in asking them to quiet down. Your paying to live in that space just as much as he is. Ask in a mature manner, and if he gets all hot and bothered again, see if it’s still possible to switch roommates, though it may be too late for that.</p>
<p>I don’t think this is a racial issue… I had a crazy roommate last year and I wish I had switched. He got so angry when the internet went off even for a few minutes (as it prevented him from emailing his friend about his crazy Anime fanfiction) or when he misplaced something that he would slam his laptop and yell at the peak of his voice for 20 minutes and kicked things, even throwing his shoe out the door at people at times. He unfortunately failed out though… even though it is hard for me to feel empathy toward him.</p>
<p>I chuckled at the stereotypical post above mine.</p>
<p>BurningSmruf, is there an RA or anyone in charge of disputes between individuals on your floor? As much as I share your sentiments about handing your roomate’s ass back to him on a silver platter, that course of action would not be the appropriate one to take.</p>
<p>And just to clarify: is your black roomate the one who smokes weed all the time? Or is there another roomate living with you two?</p>
<p>P.S. Next time, please omit the race of your roomate, to avoid accusations of racism.</p>
<p>^ I don’t think race is really that relevant in this case, though I can imagine that in some cases it could be so. It is more of a personality and conduct issue.</p>
<p>Please stop ■■■■■■■■. I have read all three of the posts you have made and none of them have been constructive. Your username reflects your lack of maturity.</p>

<p>First of all, racialism is “the belief in the existence and significance of racial categories” or “the belief in racial separatist ideologies.” The first doesn’t support yourr arguments and the second definition is essentially racist. I avoid stereotyping people based on race but let me say this.</p>
<p>One of my best friends in college is a forerign student of African descent and he doesn’t exhibit any of these qualities. Certainly certain tendencies may be more common in some races than others but you must know that all of Africa isn’t just one race (“Negroes” as you call it) and that even within a race, there is significant variability. Incomes vary among blacks and while the average black income is less than the average white income, some black people are much more wealthy and successful than the average white or asian person.</p>
<p>I think the OP and “urafgt” (I feel like a d-bag just typing that username) are both just ■■■■■■■■. There was absolutely no reason to mention race in this post at all; and the fact that everything followed was a combination of the most common black stereotypes just reiterates my point about this post being pointless.</p>
<p>But if I’m wrong, then do you really need to ask if you’re being unreasonable? Obviously, you wouldn’t be. And, you know, since you’re ripped and everything (I’m rolling my eyes), you shouldn’t have a problem knocking him out if he tries to fight you.</p>
