Why as soon we know that person from specific country or religion we hate him even if he is good in personality?

bec they are deep-rooted racism. not all of us like that but some yes. it is a matter of cultural background thing. parents grew their children in such a stupid idea. like no one is going to enter heaven but Jews. so Jewish people hate any one who is not Jewish. also some wight people say they are the best due to the colour of their skin, so and one black or a bit brown his is slave. and a lot of depressing facts. it is about us.

do you? tut tut
well I heard an exaggerated and racist comment the other day "take 10 white men and u will find 1 bad one but take 10 black men and you will find 1 good one" I believe such a statement is extremely biased. But it got me thinking, to deny that certain cultures or country's don't have particular "trends" is completely blind! I mean anti racists say that people are the same all over the world, and I want to know what planet they are living on. People are not the same all over the world and in fact it would be impossible. We have no problems accepting cultural diversity as a good thing... "Italians are passionate" "Ethiopians are great runners" "The Chinese are hard workers" no doubt there ARE Lazy Chinese people but through a collection of different social aspects generally they are hard workers, that's all well and good.
But if we accept this then why can't we then accept that generally through social aspects there must be negative social factors. What if i then said "The Chinese are very cold people" for example, how is it any different from my first positive statement.
The fact of the matter is that for one reason or another people from different parts of the world have different tendency's. I am from Peru for example, 10 years ago Peru was known as the country in South America that you are MOST likely to get pick pocketed, while most if not all of south America is in a poor financial state why should Peru be more likely to be robed? The Peruvians knew they had to be more careful with robbers at home then anywhere else in SA so wouldn't any foreigner be pretty stupid to dismiss this as racist and not be extra careful? This does not mean that all Peruvians are thieves, I would never steal. But perhaps it may well be true to say that get 10 Brazilians and 10 Peruvians and more of the Peruvians will be thieves then the Brazilians. Thus it is only common sense to be on your guard.
Thankfully the country has now come together against this and has now become much safer as a result of a national consciousness.

I just thank goodness i've NEVER been of that mind set. but i've always danced to the beat of my own drummer. i could honestly care less where someone if from. just like a few minutes ago, someone from another country was completely rude to me. but oh well, i wouldn't take it out on everyone from that race, just that asshole. each individual deserves respect. AND i'm intelligent enough to know the difference. (sad part is, that ***-wipe is probably an embarressment to his own family and friends if he as any lol)

Because human beings all have one universal fault. We all need someone to blame, so we ignore the fact that there's bad apples in every race, especially Caucasians. How many black serial killers do you know of? Or completely sociopath homicidal Latinos?

Because we tend to generalize and characterize one person by their ethnicity and race, which is not necessarily a bad thing, its more of a way of protection. Its the way we learn, if you always get bit by spotted dogs then you will automatically become shy or scared of spotted dogs.

It is because of the Media influences, as well as celebrity/comedies. If America excepts all the things that are being fed to us. whether these things are positive or negative.Then there will be racial injustice. The hard part is letting go of it all.

Who is we, sure is hell is not me. that what your doing right now speaking for everyone else.
Its hard to not judge sometimes im guilty of it myself but you people are most afriad of the things they don't know or understand. And the only way to overcome it is to learn about it before you judge it.
of course easier said than done

Because humans tend to be mistrusting fearful creatures. Religion is often "if you're not with us then you are against us".
