I think that (as a mexican who looks super white)... most people see other races as they show them in TV and such.
It's negative, you hardly see any positive sides about blacks or mexicans in the media. I'm sure a few white people have never met another race. I never met a black person till I was 16 and I was scared to death of him because all I knew about black people was what they showed in movies and such. But now I know better.

I'm not really sure. It does really bother me when i see white people think that they are all better. Especially when they look at me. (I'm a tan mexican-american). I do feel offended. Maybe they always thought that white was a non-color thing so they thought they were normal. But think about it, when they get hot they get red, when they get sick they turn a little green, and when the pass away they turn purple. Everyone else that is tan or black stays the same color. So they have no right saying we are colored when they change like chameleons. Although most white people are nice, and are easy to get along with while others think they are better than everyone else.

It's not just white people, dude. There are plenty of black people who feel that they're better than everyone else. And it's the same with Asians, Latinos, Indians, and Arabs. Everyone does it. It's just human nature to believe that the group you belong to is somehow unique and superior to everything else.
The only difference is that when a white person asserts a belief like this it gets a ton of publicity and people make a big deal about it. It's just another one of those double standards that exist in the world.

I am no better than anyone else and like you have wondered just what it is that makes a person think that he or she is better than someone else. True, there are some people that will commit crimes and others that won't. Still, I believe that the murderer on death row is loved by God every bit as much as Billy Graham or Mother Teresa or even myself. Therefore, in God's eyes, I am no better or worse than anyone and that is good enough for me.

i'm white but i live in a predominately black neighborhood and my school is the same way. I DONT feel superior at all, in fact for me, i feel lower. but my mom is a different story. she has black friends and everything but when i had black boys callin the house, she stopped that quickly. she says that black people act a fool in public and cause trouble whenever they get together. obviously i disagree wit this but i was just trying to give u an idea of why some white people think this way.

HEY! I'M MEXICAN TOO! WELL WHAT I THINK IS THAT THERE R SOME PEOPLE THAT R LIKE THAT CAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW NO BETTER. SOME R STUCK UP AND SOME R GREAT! BUT THE ONES THAT DO ACT LIKE THAT R CAUSE YES OF ALL THE THINGS THEY SHOW ON TV OR ON THE RADIO, NEWSPAPER OR WHATEVER. BUT ALSO THEY NEED TO REALIZE THAT ALL OF US R HUMAN. YES PEOPLE DO MAKE MISTAKES CAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN EITHER OFFENDED OR SOMETHING TO THAT SORT. BUT SOMETIMES THEY R LIKE THAT JUST CAUSE THE RICH ONES WANNA RUB IT IN UR FACE THAT THEY HAVE MONEY AND U DON'T I KNOW THAT'S KINDA HARD TO BELIEVE FOR SOME OF U, BUT IT'S TRUE! U JUST NEED TO REALIZE THAT. WE ALL R EQUAL, WE ALL HAVE THE SAME ORGANS IN OUR BODY TO LIVE, OUR BLOOD, AND THAT WE ALL R GODS KIDS. WE DIDN'T COME INTO THIS WORLD WITH MONEY OR CLOTHES AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES THAT'S ALL THAT MAKES US DIFFERENT. HE IS NOT TRYIN TO BE RACISIT BUT THAT WAS A GREAT QUESTION. BUT IN TIME PEOPLE WILL COME TO THEIR SENSES AND REALIZE WE ALL R DIFFERENT IN CERTAIN WAYS AND OUR SKIN COLOR IS NOT IMPORTANT. TAKE CARE AND KEEP IT REAL! LTRZ

I would never go so far as to say whites rule because of color! I assess every person individually. I have found jerks and lowlifes of every color and the opposite as well~have found good people. I have the misfortune of living very near the ghettos of chicago, which are 99% black and happen to be the most dangerous places to be! Anyone care to rent an apartment there? I rest my case.

Sounds like you have an inferiority problem. Us "whites" do not sit around and talk about how much better we are (cause we are not) the groups that you hang out with sit around and think we do.
Get over it and work on your issues
Additional Detail - IN GENERAL - White people are not like this I would say the people that you are talking about constitute less than 5% of our population

I do not think that I am better than anyone else and I hate white supremest groups. I knew one and he made me sick. He is in prison now and I hope they keep him there. There is good and bad in all races. We need to concentrate on the good and not the bad. But I can understand how you feel that way I am white and a lot of whites are raciest pigs

If a black or hispanic is proud of thier race they get praised. But if a White says Im proud to be White then we are supeior then anyone else. And I have read your question and understand you mean in general. Let me say this Im very proud to be White and im not going to step down my right to be proud just because someone thinks im being racist. I dont think im better then any of the other races.....I would never marry out of my race but thats my prefernce. If my daugher or son wanted to marry outside of the race I would welcome thier partner in as one of my family..But I get tired of hearing this bull **** that the bieng white means to be ashamed cuz if you say your proud your automactily a racist or better then the others

Hmmm never thought I was better than anyone else. Sure didnt' think everything was having to meet my standards. Perhaps ppl are racists to you because you come off as abrasive and they just treat you that way. The only ppl I treat inferior are 1-ppl that think they know everyting, 2- ppl that think they are better than everyonje else or 3- last ppl that think because of the color of their skin ppl are trying to hold them back when really their attitude and they way they treat others is all that is holding them back.
