Why are white people more likely to be called racist?

Question

And why do they call each other "trailer trash" and "rednecks". Blacks only have one offensive word, but whites would rip each others throats off!

Wow..cant believe i gained this much popularity (and a question) for speaking my mind. You guys are great.

Answer 1

I really don't care about the whole racist issue any more. It has gotten to the point where it is used as a excuse for everything that does not go right for a person or group of people. You can't even have a general conversation without this being a issue anymore. Even when you ask people about their cultures and backgrounds you have to be careful about what you ask. Or how you ask it.

Your question is directed towards the white/black racism issue. I find that all cultures do the racism thing. It's just to what degree. A lot of that problems with race from what I see have to with the way an individual is brought up is regards to their background.

I choose to treat everybody the same regardless of the color of there skin and ethnic background. I also will date women out of my race too. I feel by having race issues you close yourself of to people. If want to talk to each other that way (trailer trash,rednecks, ****....etc.) leave me out.

Answer 2

Trailer trash and redneck are insults based on class not colour.

Whites are more likely to be called racist at the moment but that's changing.

"Blacks only have one offensive word, but whites would rip each others throats off!" - Is that so? so I suppose there is no problem with black on black violence in LA, South Africa, England, Fiji, Sudan etc.?

Nigerians refer to people of Caribean descent as "Slave-babies".You should do more research before making inaccurate and racially prejudiced like the ones in your "question"

Answer 3

Races are not racist. Uneducated, ignorant people are, and they are found in every race. Every race has cards they play against people they hate. But hate is not logical, discrimination never fair. Don't take what stupid people say seriously. They don't deserve to be taken seriously, becuase everyone knows they are wrong, everyone with sense knows they are being sterotypical. If you grow impatient with racists fools of any race, remember they r just the loudest, by no means the most, or the just. And if people of any race can discriminate, then people of any race can also be just and good.

Answer 4

I saw a comedian on TV the other day who said that Whites aren't nearly as racist as Latinos or Blacks.

He said Whites are practically afraid to even say "Black" for fear of being called racist.

Kinda funny. Here's my advice: Don't hate people because of their race, and if you get called a racist for some reason, know in your heart that you're not.

Answer 5

Because it's easy for the lesser races to label Whites as "racist". Instead, people of color, Jews, Blacks, Mexicans, etc., should strive to better their own lives, through hard work and education, rather than blame everything on Whites.

Answer 6

Blacks are just as racist, if not more, than white people. But think of what would happen to the millions of $$$$ in "minority" assistance grants by the Government (as they've have for over 30 years), if black racists were given "equal" TV exposure.

Frankly, I do NOT care if people think I'm racist to say:

Blacks are NOT a "minority" any more in America.

They lead whites in violent crime every MINUTE in America.

"African-American" blacks are ONLY those born in Africa and naturalized citizens of the US.

Blacks are their own worst enemy today; they don't need to fear white hate racial groups.

Actually, blacks are decent nice people; it's their same color skinned crack-dealing, rapist, theiving THUGS who deserve racist attention.

Answer 7

because maximum colleges were customary even as blacks, hispanics etc. weren't as privileged as we are now. also, colleges probably began ethnic golf equipment so people might want to study about diverse heritages and customs. Did they say surely African people can connect the African-American club? If no longer, there truly isn't a topic.

Answer 8

I wouldn't and believe me you would not say this stuff in Russia only pansy countries like Canada. I wish I lived in a place other than America where people can be who they are instead of watched by the PC police.

Answer 9

All races rag on each other whether it's white people calling each other rednecks, white trash, dumb F*!#@, etc, blacks calling each other N*%#&, B*#%!, etc, or spanish people calling each other cavrones, pendejos, and so on. As far as whites getting accused of being the most racist is because alot of them will tell u upfront that they dont like "muts." I know, I've been told that before. But it is ok to offend people of the same race as u because it is funny but white people tend to play around with other races and if you are of a different race, the name calling translates differently.

Answer 10

Although a lot of White people don't want to hear it, every ethnic group in America (Blacks, Asians, Jews, Native Americans, Mexicans, etc) has been discriminated against by them, and it continues to this day.
