Why do we have racism, discrimination, and stereotypes in America?

Question

AGAINST

Caucasians
Asians
Hispanics
Africans
Arabs
Christians
Jews
Muslims

I think teens are more tolerant of peoples' differences in this respect than most adults because they're being raised into this society. Do you agree or disagree with that statement and why?

Answer 1

watched a show last night dealing with this, kids in high schools committing suicide because there teased so much, so sad we judge so harshly, against anything that is outta our comfort zone

Answer 2

My dear Creative, it is not just here in America that we have Stereotypes or discrimination. I have lived in many place of the world and come to the conclusion that this is part of human nature. The tall look down upon the short, in places where being fat is prestigious, the small are second tier people, in Africa black clans (ethnicities) look at those purportedly inferior to them with disdain, in Arab nations you only need to see how women are treated or how the royalty screw up the citizenry, need I mention more?

How about the Whites against hispanics and the later against the blacks in South America and the Carribeans?

Anyway, I think that we view those different from us with mutual suspicion and then we also carry the monkey off our parents and communities' backs right into our social prisms. Teens today are basicly better prepared to deal with issues of bigotry because they have grown up in a more tolerable era where hate crimes are not tolerable in comparison to prior days

Answer 3

I agree. This substitute into an significant election to recover from the countless race stigma. i do no longer dislike a race/subculture. regrettably in u.s. they are coaching hatred. for that reason they intrude with the persons getting on with their lives. did you be attentive to whilst slavery ended in basic terms 2% persons blacks would desire to examine and write? Come a protracted good distance. i've got confidence the sky's the shrink. i think of it would have been better if a Black Republican like Ken Blackwell have been working. yet i'd have voted for him by using fact he substitute into Republican... See ya. have an impressive existence.
