I think the media tend to stir up a problem and make it 100 times worse.

I agree with you in part. I think that some people jump on the band waggon, crying 'racist', etc, at any opportunity, which helps to create hatred amongst different groups of people.
I like many others, do not judge people by the colour of their skin, nationality, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or genda.
I am a white, English, heterosexual, non-religious female and I form my own opinions of people as individuals. I treat everyone in the same manner to which I would have them treat me but some people do not offer the same courtesy. If I dislike a person, it is because they have given me reason to. I never tar others with the same brush.
We need to have variety in society because the World would be a boring place if everyone was the same.

Racism is one thing that is define and created by those who want to keep black and international people in the slave mind and fear not to have confidence is being part of society. White people who are not used to other nationalities are blinded by their superiority.

You make the same mistake a lot of people do when it comes to any contentious issue. The press and to a lesser extent the government react to peoples views they do not create them.
you are confusing concern at our present levels of immigration with some inherent racial bigotry. Fear off overcrowding and underfunded services not coping is not racism.

Maybe you are right to an extent but I think you will always get these problems in bigger cities.I live in a small country area and there is no racism at all here.

So when slavery was alive and kicking the media were involved??? Me thinks not. People make decisions about being racist for themselves.

I'm just curious, have you ever heard the terms "hate crime", Jim Crow laws? Believe me, racism can be more than just in peoples' minds.

No racism is inherent in people because thats wat they feel. The media only stir up things that bother people. As no one really likes brown people theyre gonna focus on that. so it spirals out of control. people dont like, media exagerates, people hate etc. etc. Hope this was helpful.

May be but there's money to be made in the race relations business. Ask Trevor.
