why is ther so many people who are racist?

Question

why are people so racist? we are all made the same. we all have the same organs no one is special.

Answer 1

Racist are that way because they live in ignorance.

Answer 2

You are correct..we are all made the same, but we all do not act the same. The big question is why relatively young countries like America in such a short amount of time could build such a sufficient infrastructure as too build a world class economy and set the standard of living for all the world to admire, while other older countries such as mexico have been completely unsuccessful at the same thing. If, as you say, no one is special why are there few countries that have been able to accomplish this?... True racism, which is actually shown here very seldom is an unfortunate by-product of the equation I just described.

Answer 3

a dramatic transformation in America is beginning to take shape; America's white population will soon be the next minority. As people of color become more of a majority, they will be less willing to accept discrimination.
Logically the white race will not be accepting of this. "In the United States we see some evidence of a renewed apartheid in the growing balkanization of residential patters, whites have moved out from large cities with majority populations of black or Latinos, and move to suburban areas with gated communities." (238)
These days, most whites will say they are not racists because they know racism is a bad thing. Yet people who claim not to be racists often hold racist views. Still, racism is occurring in America, especially in the education and the work force.
Blacks will resist racial oppression in full glory when the white man is put in the category of a minority. "For centuries black religious civic and civil rights organization has not only engaged in self-help projects but also strive to improve the nation’s general warfare by pressing forward on the goal of equality and social justice."

Answer 4

why can't you think of a better argument that the "racist" card? your not that smart are you, can't think an original thought. the reason you pro's can only come up with racist comments is because you have nothing legitimate to say otherwise. people are breaking the law, that's it, end of story.
if someone were to break into your house and demand that you give them a room and feed them and take care of them and their families medically, would you want them to leave? would you then be considered a racist

Answer 5

There is a fine line between racism and separatism. Keep in mind, there are differences between the races. How else could a forensic scientist find some bones and be able to tell male or female, black, white, asian, etc.? Being ugly to other people regardless of their race is just plain wrong. There is no excuse for ugliness.

Answer 6

Some people are raised and live in a culture that promotes certain modes of behaviour and ideals of right, wrong,and other standards of morality that they see as being violated by other cultures that do not adhere to the same principles of social interaction and behaviour as theirs.
So naturally there are perceived as a threat. To just say they are ignorant is simplistic and well.......ignorant.

Answer 7

It's God's way of finding out who has learned tolerance and love thru the teachings of Jesus.

It's a natural order of hierarchy within the realms. Those that do not practice nor preach tolerance shall have to repeat the burden of rebirth by living their next life in the skin they were most prejudiced against. <<<---teachings of Edgar Cayce, Reincarnation.

Answer 8

Fear of the unknown is a powerful thing and a different race is representative of the unknown to some...it's a good question. Who knows it's tempting to just put ignorance but I think that is too easy of an answer... I think it is more fear related. Fear that there is an economic threat, a terrorist threat...a threat of losing what many see as traditional "American" values...or way of life or "French" or English" or "Palestinian" way of life. The belief that it is simply impossible to live and let live......

Answer 9

there are many different forms and reasons for racism....Standing for what you believe in and holding your own beliefs is not racism. Standing behind laws, regulations, and ethics that you believe in is not racist. This is merely part of being human.....this debate is timeless, and there is no answer for it.

Answer 10

unfortunately there is racism in all walks of life, you just seem to hear about the Caucasians vs. African Americans most of all. I have met just as many African Americans that are racist. they just seem to get away with it more than other ethnic groups;
