I think we're all racist to some degree. I think it's genetically inherent as a means of self-defense. It's natural to have some fear of things that are unfamiliar. That doesn't make it wrong. What makes is wrong is being discriminatory.
The key is to rise above the animal instinct and the only way to do that is to put yourself in a position where you are surrounded by people who are not like you. Only then can you become comfortable with people of different colors and cultures other than your own. It is a major disservice to yourself to remain isolated in this increasingly multi-cultural world where borders basically mean nothing anymore.
The most racist people are the ones that don't even try. You cannot grow as a person if you don't try, and thus, you are not really contributing to the world.

I'm man enough to admit that i am a racist to Arabs.
The reason to my racism goes back thousands of years ago when the Persians and Arabs have hated each other, and been in many wars where the Arabs have slaughtered our people, scarred our beautiful language and culture, changed our religion.
And many other terrible stuff.
Its not my fault I'm a racist against Arabs, i was brought up this way.

well that same statement that jesi made about ghetto blacks also goes for excuse my language.."white trash"..the only difference is that they live in trailer parks.....
everybody is racist to some degree..but since i have been a victim indirectly and directly of racism due to the fact that my skin tone is a shade darker than my white counterparts...i really am just throughly digusted with racism..it has no point other than trying to make other people's lives miserable but that hate only makes me stronger..........it only makes me want to excel and be better than the same people who want to look down their noses upon me because I do not have blue eyes and blond hair....
you can take the negativity from racism and make it positive..

i'll admit i'm racist against blacks, not all just the ghetto ones, i never used to be until i moved to a city that has a lot of them and they are very rude to non blacks, a lot live off the government i mean there is section A housing everywhere, there is so much crime especially black on black, its all over the news that some black kid got shot or died in a fire because there parents weren't there and nobody was watching them...i see them all the time crossing busy streets with little baby's in there hands to go to the mall.....there always in the middle of the street on there bikes not caring about oncoming traffic.....this is all from experience.....i can't wait to move to a safe neighborhood again, i don't have to tolerate people who are rude to me and don't care about anybody else but themselves

I think that minorities are or are becoming more racist than whites. They seem to want special privelidges for things that would be deemed unconstitutional for whites. Like black scholarships, television stations etc... things that minorities would jump on in a second if a white organization formed in order to promote the same thing.

racism is shameful and inhuman act.i don't think any sane person will ever differentiate between two ppl just because of their skin color.
i hate those who make groups on the name of race/caste/region/religion etc.
We are all children of that mighty lord and mother earth ,we must enjoy their love and affection which they impart unbiasedly.
When sun, moon, wind, tsunami, Rita,and similar things do not love/hate us separately then who are we to create partitions in our heart?

I believe it is an immoral practice and that all that share this belief should try an open their eyes to other people. Sports figures, celebrities, people in your community who are quite kind, are not of the same ethnicity.
