Take the test to see if you are a racist.
1. Do you feel comfortable around people of any different culture
2. If you see some one of different color than yours what is the first thing that pops in your mind
3. How many times have you said something racist.

1.- Absolutely, yes. Sometimes even more so than with people my own culture.
2.- That they are a different colour. No further implications. No judgement as to whether they're better or worse than me.
3.- Hardly ever. I'd say "never", because I cannot spot out a single time I did, but to be on the safe side, I'll say "hardly ever".
How much of a racist am I?

I think that all humans are racist to a point, including myself, in that we have preconceived notions regarding other cultures, races, religions etc....I feel comfortable around people of a different culture, I have never really thought about what pops into my head when I see someone who is a different (although I have thought that it must be awfully hot when I see an Arab woman in a burka in the summer) and I cannot think of the last time I used a racist comment towards others, even in anger.... so..... according to your test, I probably would not be a racist, yet I feel that I probably am. Until I knew better, I had beliefs about other cultures that I now know not to be true and I believe that to be racism.

No, I'm not racist. And being of a "minority race" myself...I'm often times subjected to the racist comments. But since 9/11 I've found that the racist comments towards me have slowed down lots. And turned to those that are Muslem and Arabic and whatnot. I don't think that every Muslem I see is gonna blow me to bits. Why should I think that way. I believe in Christ and I know that I must die, so why should I spend all my young years worrying about it? Besides, what exactly would I be getting for being a racist?

I learn from all people from different cultures. Diversity should be taken into consideration into many social structures. I don't think I am racist /I define racism as a sickness of the Soul that affects many ideas and produces negative stereotypes/.
But I know people who say > I hatee those who are racists, wel they are being racists too.
Racism most of the time is ignorance or is to try to reafirm principles and identities, but that isnt the way to do it, there is only one Race, and that is, Humans. Others differences doesnt matter they dont constitute the essence of a real human being, that deserves respect, dignity and also to be alive.

That's a stupid test. So I'm racist if I'm uncomfortable around people of a different culture, even if they are giving me the hairy eyeball? I'm not a racist, but I'm also not a fool. They are quite capable of being racist against me, and I'm not gonna stick around for that. I don't have to pass your stupid test, and you can think whatever you like. Most people do.

I don't need any stupid test to tell me that I'm a 100%, dyed in the wool racist. The races aren't equal, and no amount of wishful thinking on the part of some feminized lunatics is going to convince me otherwise!

I don't need to take the test. I know I have certain attitudes that some people might label as racist, as a result of being exposed to people of certain nationalities. But now that I'm aware of this and of the fallacy of generalization, I am continually teaching myself to be tolerant of our differences.

1. It depends. If it's people I know, I feel comfortable though with strangers especially whites I'm guarded/distant. Takes me awhile to warm up, if I can't read them well.
2. Nothing. Just people.
3. Haven't felt the need to, some people have enough faults for me to zone in on.
