Answer 1

Some Americans have a problem with people i don't know why. example: when people are on xbox live you beat them on halo2 or get beaten and give them respect by saying (good Game my friends) they respond (**** you i had you mum last night blah blah blah!!!

Answer 2

I don't believe this an appropriate question for you to be asking at all. Why don't you try asking this question to be the people who lost their families in the WTC or to the families of the victims who were on Flight 93 that went down in Pennsylvania. Ask the troops who are over in Iraq and Afghanistan busting their *** to give YOU the freedoms that you want and trying to protect us from further acts of terrorism. I don't believe Americans are being racist at all, I believe Americans are just trying to fight for what is right and trying to give Iraq a better government to be able to be stable on its own. 9/11 had absolutely nothing to do with racism; I suggest you look up the word racism in a dictionary. The only thing 9/11 dealt with was terrorism and people trying to destroy the strongest country that there is. The only thing they did was bring as all closer together. I think you need to learn a lesson - shut your mouth and support your country or you can leave.

Answer 3

Don't think for one second young man that Mexico is exempt from terrorism. Drug families have your countries economy and politicians in the palm of their hands as a result of terrorism and bribes. Your country doesn't practice the same religion that the terrorists want you too either, and as a result if Mexico was the world power that it should be by now you would be on the terrorists hit list too. But...fortunate for you your country is still regarded as a third world nation or..a developing nation at best. Do you know how many Mexicans were killed on 911?. Do you think that Bin Laden would have cared one bit? 911 wasn't about racism, it was about idealism. The terrorists sabotaged trains in Spain killing many people. Spanish people who share a blood line with you, and instead of being outraged you point your finger at America and ask why we didn't learn our lesson. What a misguided attempt at righteousness.

Answer 4

I am totally confused. Why would having two planes flown into two sky scrapers, killing thousands of innocent people, have any impact on reducing racism?

I don't know what racism has you worked up, but the idea that 9/11 should have made people less racist if they were racist to begin with seems bizarre.

Answer 5

Your correct, 9/11 was about racism, or prejudice, or whatever you want to call it.
However, 9/11 was brought about by the prejudice of other nations against Americans.
Don't you get it?
We were attacked, it doesn't matter by who. So for Americans Prejudice is not an Immigration Issue, it is a desease brought across our borders by Illegal Immigrants.

Answer 6

What does 9/11 have anything to do with racism?

Answer 7

Yes, we did change after 9/11, just not in your favor. I must admit had 9/11 not occured, perhaps the colonization movement may have gone unnoticed if Bush didn't bring it to our attention or at least had more public support, but that's a gray area.

Ask yourself, the Mexican community at large that hates America and Americans and want to colonize our states back to Mexico, are they racist? I'll call ourselves racist when we colonize Mexico because we want that country.

Answer 8

What does racist have to do with 9-11? What lesson?
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, it wasn't racist either, but they did realize they WOKE A SLEEPING LION and they found out the hard way we don't give up. Ther terrorist didn't learn their lesson either....but they will.
Don't mess with Texas!!

Answer 9

I believe that everyone is a bit tired of being falsely accused of racism. It doesn't work anymore because too many people use racism as an excuse for their negative actions.

Answer 10

Every country is racists. People tend to feel more comfortable around other people who are like themselves. It's just that Americans are held to a higher standard then anyone else. There is not one event that could change millions of years of evolution.

Answer 11

Bit confused, aren't you? 9/11 had nothing to do with race ... rather it was religion that spurred the attack ... and why is it racist to protect our borders against an invasion of illegal immigrants? If the invasion came from Norway ... would you still call us racists if we objected to it?
