That is one of the non virtuous things about human beings. There have been hateful and mean people since the beginning of time. Many people act this way because they are ignorant, and do not choose to change themselves. Most people who are hateful and mean toward an ethnicity unlike their own, are just uneducated and will remain in their own stupidity forever. I am happy to say that I was brought up to accept people with an open heart, no matter what their skin color, beliefs, education and whatever else you can think of. My life has been, and will continue to be highly enriched because of this diversity. Have a good night!!!

Ignorance! People are generally evil when they feel insecure, and ignorance can be the cause of the extremest of insecurities. The human race as a whole is a bunch of bodies who subconsciously recognise their insignificance in the universe, and that makes them really really evil. And, since there is no one to blame for this, no one to direct their anger and frustration at, they do it to their fellow human beings. It is all about FEAR!

It's the immaturity coming through. On this site in particular there are a lot of children and teens who think it's cool to dis others. It makes them feel superior. When they grow up they'll realise what idiots they have been.

Because people are always scared of what is different and that includes race, gender, ethnicity and sexuality. Hopefully one day, we will accept each other for who we are.

We as humans, fear what we do not understand. When we fear someone, especially someone who is different from us... we tend to beat those people down to make ourselves superior. It's lowly, but it's a defense mechanism that we can change ourselves. Some of us just choose to live this way.

Because they are trying to feel better about themselves and their own shortcomings at another persons expense...
