I don't think that one race is better than another. I do however find the differences interesting. When I started school in the 60's, there were only a few black students at first. I thought that those kids were really special (in a good way,) and I liked them. All races are equal in value because we are all part of mankind. I don't judge other races as a whole and nor do I judge my own raise as a whole. However, I might judge some individual members of a given race. No, I am definitely not racist; I have friends of various different races and had a boyfriend of another race for 7 years.
People are racist because they are afraid of what they don't understand. They also erroneously believe stereotypes too.

All races are equal as humans in their humanity. Otherwise, there may be inequalities. But thats life. Ask a disabled person who knows clearly the meaning of this.

Dont kid yourself, EVERYONE (including a judge) judges. How to judge is more important, isnt it? So it is also towards other races.

Yes, I most certainly do, and am most harsh at my criticism. Being multi racial helps.

No, I am a racialist. I differentiate I seperate. I dont segregate I dont treat unfair or unjust to those undeserving. Hence I have to judge well.

Stupid people are racists. Pompously proud people are racist. They are unjust and unfair when they generalize. Not only about races, but just by the way you look, your socio-economic class, or based on a mere glimpse on your behavior. They live by their own impressions of the world, not nature's intended impressions.

Dont talk about race, focus more on the human being and level of civility. Realize that backwardness results in barbaric behaviour. Civility always results in moving forward and up.

Thereis no such thing. We have unique cultures that others dont understand. Those people who say their race is better because of success, well those are inly things that matter to that individual person, and maybe a family. Ist is an image. I judge someties, yes, but try to be aware of it. I do not judge my own race. I can't im mixed. I'm not racist, but I am prejudiced againse groups of people. Racism- fear. You know that. A Fear that they may be left behind by another race, or a scenario in which that person was hurt by a member of one race, ad has not resolved that issue, and therefore harbours it, and takes it out on a race, verusu holding that one person accountable. ok, I BETTER get best answer for this one!

I believe all races/religion/genders, etc are equal. Differences, as well as inequalities, are based on individual personalities.

My guess as to why other people are racist is they're afraid of what's different. This discomfort of the unknown is very natural, but healthy, intelligent people strive to learn more about the other person in order to alleviate the fear. Those who are racist seem to close themselves off to learning anything contrary to what they think they know.

I find this sad, as there could be a person they would have an amazing connection with. But they'll never allow it to happen because of a superficial characteristic like the color of someone's skin.

Well im not racist but i think its because mostly people from the same race have same cultures and traditions so other races look at that and judge ALL the people from that race the way they do.

What makes one race better than another? Absolutely nothing.

All races are equal because skin color doesnt make you worse/better than someone else.

I dont judge my own race or any others. Judging any group as a whole is rather ignorant and does little but perpetuate stereotypes.

Racism is created out of people's fear and ignorance.

Humans are naturally biased.

For example I know my momma's cooking is better than anyone elses in the whole world...But someone on the outside might not think that same way.

I am a white person that likes to hang out with mostly other white people, because they do the things I like to do, speak in a way that can be understood, and act/react in a way that I of a custom to. Other races probably think exactly the same way even though we aren't dissimilar and in a way act, walk, and talk pretty much the same. Most just aren't willing to give it a chance. Why give away whats comfortable to you??

I don't think that races are all created equal. I think that different races have different qualities about them. I think other races are better at certain things than another race. I think that is why it has been scientifically proven that its healthy for humanity when different races bread. If you look at every different cultures than you will see the difference in each race.

Only subjective personal opinion.
.
The thing is people confuse racial differences with weaknesses. Myself personally I believe that its human ego that causes one race to believe they are better than another. It starts with the individual and is bound up in the pride one feels for one's country, nationality and racial heritage. If you take a lot of pride in this then you, without knowing it even, have judged you are somehow better than the others of different countries and races. I mean ask yourself, seriously, what it is that you feel when you are proud of something. If you are willing and objective enough you will able to pare away all the surface things and find buried underneath a sense of being somehow better than others.
.
Now I don't condone pride but pride and nationalism and racism are inexplicably linked. People need to be aware and caution themselves. Patriotism and racial pride are OK to a degree. But they seem to be the seedlings of infectious weeds that can grow and get totally out of hand and become racism before we are aware of it.

Well, every race is similar to some extent. Let's see here some types of races; foot, motorcycle, nascar, formula one, drag, airplane, horse, dog, turtle, snail, pig, ostritch, lama, camel, dirt track, go cart, snow board, downhill ski, hot air balloon, and eating contests. All have similar goals, to be the first. Unlike the human race, these have something called sportsmanship. An action lacking in todays society. -paece.
