Why do SOME white people always complain about being called a racist?

Question

I'm so tired of hearing white people complain about it. By the way, I'm white and I'm just sharing the facts.

And you're still complaining, some of you people need to get a life.

Answer 1

Some white people complain about being called racist because they don't want to believe that they actually are racist.

Answer 2

People often don't like a mirror being shone on their faults, especially those they don't believe they have. I'm black and white people don't have a monopoly on racist thought, black people do as well - and to tell the truth racism does exist but black people play the race card toooooooo much;sometimes when it's not relevant. This is why a lot of times the claim is dismissed because here you go again. It's like the boy who cried wolf when the wolf came nobody listened or believed him.

Answer 3

why do some people always complain about racist. Race is everyones answer to all problems. Man killed in cold blood-oh must be a gang member. Poor lady was raped-oh it must have been a white woman raped by a black guy. Its so stupid that everyone blames skin color for every problem on earth. Get over it. God created us all equally, color and all.

Answer 4

I think is because they know that they are a little racist in some way and feel guilty, threatened,and paranoid about it. I personally feel that everyone is a tad racist in some way shape or form. But that's just me. If only we could remain innocent young children...( I love young ones because they are so colorblind!) If only we could all stay that way.

However, whites shouldn't be threatened by being called out as racist. I feel that is you take offense to it you are in some way admitting guilt.

Answer 5

People complaining about being called a racist is not really weighted by race. All races complain about it, not just whites.

"Ethnocentricity is the tendency to look at the world primarily
from the perspective of one's own ethnic culture".

People interpret this in different ways obviously.

Answer 6

White people don't like to be called a racist even when they are. But don't confuse racism with ignorance. A lot of it is just ignorance.

Answer 7

Everyone is racist so just admit it! I hate whites, blacks, and well, I like non-Americans because they seem to be more humble and less individualistic.

Anyway, yes whites stop complaining about stupid stuff like that! Especially white males. Most of you wouldn't touch a black woman with a ten foot pool unless it just involves getting into her pants. Admit it and don't you dare complain. Your people were never lynched or killed because of their race. Own up to you bias.

Answer 8

No, they don't complain about being called a racist. They call other people racist who ask them questions. Look at my questions. That's proof.

Answer 9

If they always complain, they may want to look at their level of tolerance and value system. Nobody is perfect but if they are headed towards becoming bigots, then they should do something about their attitudes. I am assuming that people are making these comments to them.

Answer 10

I don't think any nice person (of any color) likes to
be called names, do you? Why don't we just quit
the name calling. You know the saying "if you can't
say something nice about someone, just don't say
anything"? We'd all get along better. If no one called
names, then there would be no need to complain.
would there? So see, it works both ways.
