I don't know girl... I wish it would stop too. It's getting on my nerves. That's why I support interracial relationships!! Go people who say "SCREW STEREOTYPES!! I LOVE THIS PERSON!! WHO CARES IF THEY'RE A DIFFERENT RACE?! I DON'T!!" I also try my hardest to be open minded cuz I don't want to let the racist people win. But parents usually DO teach the kids racism and stereotypes, the first place of learning starts at the home. Then if they live in a neighborhood with only majority one race, and that race is prejudice...yea...it's most likely they'll be too...but you know what that's called? Ignorance!! There is no one better race!! We're all equal!! We all bleed the same color blood, red!! And we all live on the same Earth!!

Have you ever noticed that the people who always say "I am not a racist, but..." are always racist?
White people are racist because they are ignorant.
Black people are racist because they want to get back at the white people for being racist first.
Asians are racist because they can be, dang it.
Latinos are racist because they have the right to be here, even some of them are illegal.
I am not a racist. I think all races of people have their flaws, they are human. I do however hate ignorant people. It is the ignorant people that keep racism going. If we would just stop talking about the racists, and quit giving them the attention they are seeking, they would slowly go away or be sent away.

I think that people are racist because they feel bad about their own situation and instead of looking at themselves as the blame for it, they find someone to blame for it. Like for example, mexicans taking thier jobs......couldnt be further from the truth. If you want to work, there are jobs out there, no one took an opportunity from you. Make sense?

Well, some black people act like fools...NOT ALL! I'm not racist, but some blacks walk around with their hand on their crotch, shaking they're hands, and screaming the "n" word at their "brothers..."
Some people have been taught that all black people are lazy and are moochers, but that's just because they're ignorant!

people dont realize that there is no longer just one race. in time everyone will be mixed and know one will know it. its ridiculous because people have to deal with that there will be different people everywhere... but they need to all understand that we are all the same we are all still just "People"... i think being racist is STUPID

I think racism comes from uneducated people that don't want to be nice to any one it is those kind of people that keep racism alive.

ppl like putting down ppl who are different from them, cuz it makes them feel superiour.
also, MANY parents got racist ideas, i mean hell, this one guy's mom said "why do ppl allow their daughters to marry mulattos? I would NEVER let my kids do that, it's wrong to marry a afrcian or mexcian or asian person. u should keep ur race pure."
And i was like WTF?mulatto?pure race?wat century are u in?
TRU STORY!

let me ask this . if you went to a mc donalds and it took 5min. to get someone to wait on you and the manager asked everyone but you about the service, what would you think. it happened to me and a female friend. we both are lighter skined , and i'm part hispanic. but most of the employees were black.

It boils down to the fact that they are just selfish. Selfish people only care about themselves and how they feel. Don't fret--there are lots of people who are accepting of all people.

Racism is here because of ignorant people, you can't change what you don't acknowledge.
And to quote a Beatles song..."all you need is love...love...love is all you need"
