Just My Thoughts... "Racist" is a "wide" term, It's a good question. My issue with the term is how it's used. If I do not prefer a race then I would be a racist, If I do not approve of a person of another race because of their cultural difference then I still might be considered a cultural racist. I would have to assume that racism is the perception others have of yourself. I think the problem with racism today that the term is widely misinterpreted and abused for personal gain especially with politicians that constantly look for a quick gain. I am not saying there is no problem but it should not be addressed by anyone running for re-election. I guess I am a political racist! LOL

The vast majority of people are racist. Most of us don't realize it. People are outraged at the 3000 people that died on 9/11/2001 and have no feeling whatsoever for the hundreds of thousands of civilians that have died in Iraq and Afghanistan since we went to war. Its because it's just them. They're lives aren't worth what our lives are. Children in other countries produce our clothing, working horrendous hours in horrendous conditions. If they were American children, we wouldn't allow it. But they are just some children from some Asian country, so its ok. Several children in Africa starved to death in the time it took you to read this. Does that bother you like it would to know that was happening here in America? Most likely not. Racism takes on many forms. Some times it takes on the form of hatred and bloodlust because someone of this particular race or nationality did some bad to you or someone you love. (For example, think about how the vast majority of Americans wanted to "bomb Afghanstan back to the stone age" when we found out that some people from that country were responsible for the deaths of thousands of our civilians with complete disregard for the innocent Afghanis we would have killed) and sometimes it simply takes on the form of malicious indifference (like how America turned a blind eye to the Halocaust when it was happening). But like I said the vast majority of us is guilty of it.

I do not have problems with race in general, but I can be prejudiced against stupid, ignorant people who want something for nothing and always b*tch and complain, and play the system........but they come in all colors and races!!!!! So, no I'm not a racist, I just am discriminative against the dumb @ss people of the world!!!!!

racist, not so much by the color of the skin, but the biggest majority of blacks are so lazy (seeing their parents on welfare), that they don't even try to learn in school. that is why most of them are so stupid, and violent

I agreee.The world is really such a melting pot and you really have no room to be a racisist. It's ignorant to be a racisist.and their just going to be alone in the dark.
