Of course......Who isn't?

I don't think anyone will ever honestly answer "Why yes, I'm a racist." Most people will say, "no" even though many hold some racist feelings.
The trick is admitting it, facing it, and moving forward.

No, but my honesty can sometimes seem like I'm being racist.
for example a lot (not all) Indians that I've seen online are normally after a marriage of convenience, now some will see that as racist, but it's just an observation.

I try not to be but I find myself stereotyping quite often....I work in a bingo hall and i see a lot of natives who fit a lot of the stereotypes, but I see just as many who are the complete opposite. So yeah I think I am racist to some extent, but then again i think most people are and just don't know it or don't want to admit it.

Everyone is to a degree, although most refuse to admit it. Even if you think you're not judging anybody any differently the mere deed of calling a white man "white" and a black man "black" is discrimination. Only when you see through the colours and call a man "a man" without even thinking of his race will you ever transcend that. Provided of course that you want to. I choose not to see past race, not because I wish to barter prejudice or to treat one race better or worse than another, but because I enjoy the diversity. A black man is different from a white man - and isn't that amazing?

i try not to be. theres already too much negative things in the word. people tend to think though that every racist is white which isnt the case. in the terms of black people the only people that call them niggers today is themselves. i understand that in america how you say it doesnt mean the same but i think thats still very degrading to your ancestors. rather then spending the time to explain the difference in ****** and niggar you should look up the meaning of of the orginal word. then you wouldnt be so ignorant to keep calling your friends and family that.

No NO NO, I have many friends and relatives of every race and religion, I don't always agree with some of their religions but that is there choice not mine, I am white and have dated before marriage people of many other races including hispanic, african american, dominican, and probably others than I can't remember I don't recall everyone I ever dated but those are a few and like I said I have family and friends of all races, religions and sexual preferences and I love them all equally

"Racist", as "sexist" or "this-ist" or "that-ist", is a cheaply tossed around word with absolutely no value except to ignorantly accuse others of not believing as they do. It's like my daughter who brought up the word "prejudiced" in some conversation we were having not long ago, where I said to her that the word "prejudiced" by its very definition means judging before thinking. And then I grinned at her and said, "Honey, I'm your dad, so that means I'm an old man, or a lot older than you anyway. And since 'prejudiced' is another of those cheaply coined words to point fingers and blame someone for not thinking the way the accuser thinks is proper, and has predominantly been used in this country with reference with individuals thoughts and feelings about persons of a different race than their own. I've been alive since BEFORE the civil rights era, and I've had PLENTY of time to think about and gather data about and form an opinion about perons of different races, whether they live in this country or another one. So, I can NEVER be considered 'pre-judiced' racially. I've had way too much time, decades, to think about it. You may not like my opinions I have formed over the years about people of varying races, but 'pre-judiced' I'm not." She smiled and said, "Yeah, and you're not politically correct either!" We both had a great laugh and continued on with our lunch. So some people may think I'm racist, or sexist or whatever-ist they come up with next, but that's okay. I've given it a LOT of thought over the over half-century I've been alive and extensive college education I've had, and "pre-judiced" I'm not. And since racism and sexism and others of those "isms" are so closely related, I doubt I'm one of them either. But, as my daughter said so clearly, I AM POLITICALLY INCORRECT, whenever I can be, and if I don't like a particular race or gender or sexual orientation, well, I'm well founded in why I'm that way and I'll stick to my guns till someone can offer me an intelligent reason to change. God Bless you.

yep, and i'm thinking, who isn't?
i mean, i know we are trying to get rid of racism, but still, let's admit, we're all a bit racist toward one group of people in the human race.
it's an ugly truth you people who said no.
i'm half white, half african-american, and i try not to be racist, but i know i am in some ways.
