Do you believe that people should be judged by the CONTENT of their character and NOT the COLOR of their skin

Question

I don't understand and don't like racists. How can you dislike somebody by what they LOOK LIKE?!! I have met alot of people, and I think we all know that there are good and bad people of ALL RACES; criminals of ALL RACES,etc.

I agree. IGNORANCE in full-blown!

Answer 1

I agree. I merely hate everybody. I don't see skin color... only dumb people. I see dumb people everywhere... and they don't even know their dumb!

Answer 2

I think it would be better to judge by actions and expresed attitudes, as they are rarely better than practice. I do not think that character itself should be judged too much. Of course, you may select a friend you prefer. But I do not think it is OK when men do not accept women to work only because they do not like female type of talking, female voice or different emotional structure. It may be the same also for people of different cultures.

Answer 3

Yes
People will go to all lengths to avoid the real labor of thinking.
Why spend the time, observation, and mental effort to judge an individual, when you can use a steriotypr and avoid making a mental effort. (choice).
But that is wrong and the easy way out. Besides we would miss out on many potential friendships.

Color doesn't always determine their character, but social place can and since most beings tend to surround themselves with beings that look like them...social behaviors begin to meld. It's just human nature to want to be like the people you are around and people are usually around others who look like them.

You don't have to be racist to see that people are different, and that people of similar color tend to congregate together. Ghettos, Barrios, Little Haiti, Little Italy, Little Jeruselm, China Town, suburban neighborhoods of all white kids...human nature, Human choice.

It's the way we act towards each other that determine whether we make human choices or are just animals killing each other for no other reason that we look different.

Answer 9

i totally agree just because someone may be black,white,brown who cares what if everyone is orange would you judge them then?????? i say just because someone is a different color than you does not mean they are any different than you........you should get to know someone before you say you hate them and not want to to talk to them...........i have gron up always saying treat everybody the way you want to be treated.......if im nice to someone and go out of my way to help them and they step on me then i say ok i wont help you anymore because i also belive in charma what goes around comes around i dont get revenge or even with the person since i know they will get what is comeing to them by charma.............so in conclusion no i dont think you should judge a book by its cover................

Answer 10

Yes I agree, but people think that if they look different from themselves, then they must think differently too. People like that are stupid, and they need to open their minds more.

Answer 11

I believe that you should not judge anyone because everyone has faults of their own and I thought that God was the only one that was suppose to judge you. Color, creed, religion, and sexual orientation should not determine who you are.
