Question: If you refer to a race of people as "wild" as someone did on an answer to a question, would you consider that persons' commet mildly racist, slightly racist, very racist or not racist at all?
Would you think that that person has respect for other cultures?

Culture has nothing to do with it. It is usually sectors within said cultures. I believe President Bush could have expanded his Evil Empire theory and used sectors like the KKK, NAACP, pimps, and porn executives; they are like four peas in a pod. These people would never gain my respect; they are the evil empire. If you delete the governments, Iran and North Korea people breathe the same air as we and desire a better life.

It is no big deal, but a lot of people on here try to make a racist issue out of every question. So you just can't win. Go ahead and say whatever you want. We still have the first amendment right? :)

I wouldn't think it to be racist but more so descriptive.
Are we getting to the point where we can no longer use adjectives
with out being called racist?

I would say the comment is stereotypical, but not necessarily racist. Surely not all people within one race are wild... I don't know I haven't read the answer to which you are responding.

typecasting a race is one of the most frequently made mistakes.
Instead limit your critique to individuals.
Very racist.

I WOULD NOT CONSIDER THEM RACIST. I ALSO THINK THEY WOULD HAVE THE UP MOST RESPECT FOR OTHER CULTURES..........................
