yes, i'm superior to all of you here. i'm from deep within uranus (which is where most racists come from) but i currently reside in a trailer park. i speak mostly in circles, using poor grammar, and words that might not actually be words, that way i never really have to explain myself. i believe that my ancestors created everything worth while...... which in my mind is pabst blue ribbon, and pork rinds. my skin color is splotchy, and a little green... probably due to all the inbreeding.
well.... i think i've made my point... lol. racists suck.
lol... now lets all admire beautiful women of many different races. thank you god.

I would love to say I am not a racist, but you wanted an honest answer so I will have to say yes.... to a degree!!
I certainly don't think I am superior to anyone because I am most definitely not. I think my main problem is that I don't understand certain cultures!
For example:
I don't agree that in some Asian communities, they still think it acceptable to force marriages. I think it is unfair and very behind the times...... but, this is their culture!
I think it terrible that in certain cultures it is not allowed to have a blood transfusion. I believe it wrong in other cultures to have a son circumcised without anesthetic etc. There are many things I feel are wrong but that is just me. Everyone has their own beliefs and I am not putting them down for it, I just don't understand them.
I am never sure how to react around black people (not sure what the PC for this is) because they use words against eachother I am not allowed to use. I am always unsure what I can and can't say around them. I wouldn't want to offend anyone because that is not in my nature so I tend not to hang around them. This has to do with attitudes, not colour of skin.
There are a few ethnic groups that use the colour of their skin as a shield. I have seen it for myself and had first hand experience of them saying I haven't helped them because they are black! This certainly isn't the case, but I do feel that if anyone is keeping the segregation alive it is them.
We don't have awards for music of 'white origins' and we are still allowed to say the word white in everyday context without it being a racist slur! We did however, have to change the word blackboard because it caused offence!!
In some of the Yahoo chatrooms I have found that Iranian men and arabic men don't seem to have any manners and all they want to do is perv on a webcam and constantly harass the women with comments like "i want ***k you" etc.
I know it isn't just them who do it, but the larger proportion of it is!
If all of the above makes me a racist, then I hold my hand up and admit to it.
If you read it properly though, my racism has nothing to do with skin colour..... it has to do with culture and attitudes!

I'd like to think I'm not racist and I accept all people for who they are, BUT there are some things in general about some races that I do not understand or some things that I know I could not tolerate or agree with. But I can respect that they are someone elses beliefs as I would expect others to do of mine. I do not think that it makes me superior or better than anybody else as a person.

I agree that everyone has a bit of racism in them and it is not their fault unconsciously we tend to give in to stereotypes and certaing assumptions about certain races. Race was socially constructed into our society and embedded into our everyday lives. In other word people made it up and they teach us about different people in our everyday lives; like our parents, media. So im a racist i guess yes to an extent but i dont ever act on it; deep down inside i recognize that we are all human and that is all that matters.

nope, I'm 100% unracist. To me everybody is the same and i like everyone, until I'm given a reason not too.Judging somebody because of skin colour/race is stupid and a complete waste of time.

Ancestors... not "ancesters".
No, I'm not a racist... but you need to get yourself a spellchecker.

Everyone is racist in one way or other, just depends on how racist you are, and how you act on it
