I'm not sure, but I've noticed a lot racist questions being posted lately. I think it's just really young, close minded, ignorant people with no thought provoking and interesting questions to contribute. I think the best we can do is report abuse and hope yahoo does more to catch these types of questions.

Sadly the British National Party have been spamming the site, first they did it openly, then as people complained and they got suspended they've been doing it as 'ordinary' people rather than being open about their BNP affiliation.
During the World Cup they made repeated attempts to spread the urban legend they started about how th flag has been banned. They've been quite succesful with that, despite the fact that every time they posted a few of us insisted they quote their source for this news.
You can generally spot the fascists; they seem to believe that everyone who opposes them is a 'leftie' or 'liberal'.
And of course there are people who are just racist without belonging to any fascist party.
Thee's also a lot of ignorant people airing their opinions as well, its not just racism.

I wish I knew. I am a white man married to a black woman. Every now and then I may answer a question, but most of the time I'm too angry to answer. Sometimes I think it may be to get an reaction just for the fun of it.

Ignorant questions come from ignorant people. Hopefully people will answer these dumb people informatively so they can learn something.

That's a pretty ignorant answer, but, I'll consider the source.

people are only ignorant cause they dont know or they dont care to know. also people who dont want to know tend to be ignorant. also somepeople dont know how to ask questions cause they dont want people to think they are races so they just ask how they know to. but its not just black people who get alot of stupid questions mexicans, white, asian, and so on they all get ask stupid question you just think its mostly black because you might be black. but i am a white mexican and people dont think i am so i hear alot of stupid stuff about mexicans. but did you know there is alot of white blonde hair mexicans you just dont see them much. you learn something new everyday.

Because in truth, black people won't let the race issue die........
Just look at the questions that are directed to these issues, 75% are from blacks.
Probably, including this one.........
