No, I'm no teenager. Just I have noticed that I, as well as other people, become less tolerant of others, and saying a racial slur is not a big deal anymore.

I think become less tolerant, not more racist. And they are less tolerant of lots of things besides race.

no the older people get they are from a different era than us. i am assuming u are teenager. we are much more accepting and notice skin color less cuz we have been taught and rightly so that the color of one's skin doesnt change the content of their character. based on the teachings of the great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. i personally never noticed the color of the ppl i hung out wit til it was brought to my attention by older ppl. and as people get older generally they are less careful wit what they say. like my mom used to never cuss in front of me now it rarely goes a day i dont here cussing. because also when you are younger your parents try to shield racism away from you and other stuff that would hinder your development of your own opinions. also as people get older they have met more people and become more judgemental thinking they can generalize and stereotype people cuz they encountered enough people to be able to do that. so i geusst they do get more racist.

How do you become more racist? You are either racist or you are not. I didn't know there where levels to being a racist. I understand there are more outspoken racist in this world but a racist is a racist is racist no matter how you look at it and age has nothing to do with it.

I've actually seen more racism in the younger generation than the older.
Those that grow up in maturity realize that it's just not worth it, those that don't grow up pass their wicked heritage down to the next generation.
Everyone needs to aspire not to be counted with the fools!

Maybe, depending on whether or not the people they hang out with are racists. Also their experiences with another race or their own could make them more predjudice.

No, I just think there are a lot of really old racists around right now, and fortunately they wont be around much longer

because people are always trying to place blame on others for their unhappy lives. It is easy to blame a person of a different race especially when you see them doing well, and you are struggling.

Racism is something that, when allowed to breed amongst itself, only feeds itself.
Of course, racist beliefs are illogical themselves.

Only if their life experience with people of other races is negative.

They get more stubborn in their beliefs.
It is extremely difficult to sway them. They have a difficult time listening to reason!
