It seems so many Christians still express racism. I know and have witnessed personally many Christians being racist toward African-Americans (forming the majority of my friends), Latinos, etc. I know someone including one member of my family from a strict Christian family who has expressed a few racist views toward Mexicans and said "Why do they put Spanish on McDonalds drive through now, it is ridiculous".
I am perfectly aware Christians are often hypocritical and just like everyone else, but to me personal sin is separate from how you treat others which is dictated by Jesus telling Christians to love their neighbor, and generally treat others with respect. What Would Jesus Do is the popular saying, obviously he would not be racist.
And for that matter, most Christians I know do not even attempt to act like Jesus in how they treat others, their just judgemental and self-centered. Their worried about their own salvation only, and keeping themselves out of hell.
