If you're thinking about it, I wouldn't worry about it....

Just treat everyone as you wish to be treated. The Golden Rule always works.

It's natural to recognize the differences between yourself and others. There's nothing wrong with that. If you're feeling anger or hostility towards others simply because of your differences, that's another matter.
The term "racist" has evolved to the point where just about anyone who wasn't born blind could be accused of some sort of "racist" language, thought, or action. Don't let it bother you. As long as you live without harming, or intending to harm your fellow man, you are OK. Don't let the PC police make you feel guilty.

The term "racist" is just an extremely cheap "finger-pointing" word that people like to use to get your guilt going so they can convince you to think they way they do. Believe me, an "old man" by my son's vernacular, I have lived since before the civil rights era and all their city trashing, neighborhood burning, looting, etc., and through the "politically correct" days, and now that I've retired, younger than I originally expected, I can feel FREE to think and feel the way I want to without having any democrat thought-police impacting what I do on a day to day basis. If you have to lie about your racism to please 'em, then do so in order to keep your career goals in mind, but NEVER lose sight of your feelings and thoughts you have NOW, and you can work on them independently with your REAL FRIENDS who respect your thoughts and feelings. Don't wait till you're 50 before you let yourself think and feel what you want. As they say, this is a FREE country. It may actually cost a lot to keep free, but you get the idea. My young son is over in Iraq for his second tour of duty helping make sure this country stays free, so enjoy the gift my son gives you. He'd be glad to know he helped someone in particular, keep their mental and psychological indepedence. He's one helluvan independant mind. I don't know how the Army handles him, but I sure do love him and he's out there working for your freedom. Enjoy it. He'd love to know you were. God Bless you.

how so?

just be you. If you're racist then just be racist. Its not the end of the world.

Listen, if you don't like Black people, asians, mexicans, or whatever. That is OK. You shouldn't have to like other races. Just be tolerant. As long as you aren't burning crosses you're OK.

If people are responding to you as if you were saying things or doing things that they perceive as racist, then look at what you are saying or doing that make them react that way. We cannot change what other people think or how they act, we can only change ourselves. Good luck.

do you have any friends of other races? Do you see yourself being involved romantically with someone of another race? if your answer to these is yes. then you are not racist.

Do you feel superior to people of other races? If your answer to this is yes, then you are racist.

If you are racist then face it. Nothing to be ashamed about. Lots of black people hate themselves for being black. so if you are white and hate blacks that is normal.
It is also normal for blacks to be racist to other races or blacks from other countries.

don't say anything that could be considered racist. for example, if ur about to say, "i hate her, she's an ugly black pig!" don't say anything. just keep ur mouth shut. and also make friends with black ppl so if someone says ur racist, u can say, "shut up, i'm friends with black ppl and i definitely don't hate them!"
