What race has it worst?

Question

I want to know what race do you think has it the worst in the sense of discrimination and rascism. Muslims are not a race, but they are included, beause they are being discrimiinated against.

Answer 1

Well, speaking as a white woman married to a Muslim black man, I feel that the black race has it harder than any other race.

I've even felt the discrimination myself once someone who doesn't know much about me meets my hubby. I don't tell people I meet that my hubby is black, b/c there are so many other things to tell about him, like his love for his children, how hard he works, how kind he is, how well he treats me. It's like their whole attitude changes towards me because I fell in love with a person from another race. I'm from the south, so maybe up north the perspective is different.

It seems that black men are pigeon holed as mean, threatening, ex-cons with little or no education, who all wear baggy clothes and listen to hip-hop.
Black women are portrayed as "bitchy", finger popping, neck rolling people with an attitude about everything.

Girl, don't even get me started about how Muslims are pigeon holed especially after 9/11.

Answer 2

Easy. Black Americans. Here's why- They don't have a country of "their own". Even though the US is their country, they live here being discriminated against on a daily basis. Other races that are maybe not accepted choose to live where they live and they can always go back to a country where everybody looks and acts like they do. Black Americans don't have that choice. Africa won't accept them as their own because they're not African, they're American. No other race in the world has that dilemna. And that is why Black Americans have it the worst by far. (By the way if you're intrested- I'm not black but I am American)

Answer 3

The human race has it worst because we're still looking at one another in shades of color. Society needs its lines, little things to help all the overflow of information in life seem manageable, race is one of those lines. People are going to have to realize that until we're all just people and not african americans and not white and muslim and not chinese, ect, racism is going to continue. That being said i'll answer your question. I'm black and i'd have to say white males have it the worst. There's this social expectation that they are of a specific type, and society itself is accepting of bashing them into the ground. This is sad. What happened to black americans 400 years ago was horrible, but it was 400 years ago. The world has changed, America has changed. Sadly, some Americans have not. We're meant to learn from the past, not use it to make more messes.

Answer 4

If you have a chance, watch this season's Survivor Cook Island, they are performing a social experiment. There are four tribes competing against each other: Asian Americans, African Americans, Latino Americans and Whites. I list them that way because I am pretty sure that is how they were listed on the first show.

Pretty brave or stupid of the show's creator to try something like this but it should be interesting.

Answer 5

Well, it depends on what part of the world you mean. In the US anyone who is non-white, non-christian, non-heterosexual has it worse than White Heterosexual Christians (Contrary to what Bill O'reilly, Fox News and republicans tell you). In some parts of the far east (China, Japan etc) it's whites who are looked down on. In the middle east, again whites or European looking people tend to get short shrift. In the end, no one group can universally claim to the only one discriminated. It's just human nature that humans do this to each other.

Answer 6

Blacks have it worse than the poor filthy dog on the streets. We also have it worse because we hate black folk too, isn't that some bullsh**

Side note: to "Pops"- not to be mean but those white folks that I've seen since I've been working collect more than we do from the government. Oh, yeah, the trailer park people(no offense), the white women who also can't afford food for their children are in the bracket as well. More so than blacks. Do Not believe the hype about blacks Only this, or Blacks only that. Please.

Answer 7

The human race. The color of our skin is just probably one of the oldest ways to get a power fix. Some would say whites look down on blacks, but blacks do the exact same in their own capacity. Mexicans vs Cubans, and on and on and on. And what does it all prove? That the human race wants to desperately find as many ways to categorize itself as a means to hate itself. It's sad.

Answer 8

Your question contradicts itself. In you including muslims and specifying that they aren't a race, you open up the door to include other ethnic, religious, or cultural groups. By including any of the aforementioned groups, you're actually changing your question. So my answer would be: black gay males. Yes, racism exists in America. But depending on where you're raised, who's in your social circle, and how much money you have in your bank account, your life experiences as a black man or child will not be like that of a black man or child who don't have as much. Not all black men have it bad but I don't know too many gay black males that don't have it bad- meaning, they can't comfortably be themselves for fear of persecution and they can't adopt children as easily as single black men (imagine that!), gay white men, or gay white/black women. It doesn't matter how much money or power they have. In fact, the more money or power they have, the more in closet they feel they need to be. Image living your whole life like that!

Muslims are discriminated against because a foul picture of them have been painted. That tarnished image is reenforced by SOME of them conducting extremist activities. There will probably always be religious waged wars. That battle is as old as ancient Rome. But for what reason are gay black men seen as a harm to society? I don't know any gay black man guilty of committing hate crimes against anyone, or trying to infect the world with AIDs, or denying anyone work because of the color of their skin. They're simply hated on because they cause discomfort but not for any action they (or even a large number of them) took.

Answer 9

Each race has there own demons to deal with, but in this time and age I believe it's a tie between Caucasian males and Muslims.

Answer 10

in the whole universe? human race.
in america? mexican. i'm not one, but i know what i'm talking about. everybody thinks most mexican especially illegal immigrants are here to take over americans job. i can't believe even my sister agrees to that even if people mistaken her as one - we're not like i said before. as i was saying or told her, if some americans aren't too lazy or have too many excuses to work, all the jobs wouldn't be filled with hardworking mexicans. they came here to work.work.work. some people don't realize that they don't get paid as much as we do. some would work for a day for $20. now i know there are a lot of bad mexicans in cali, but that's everywhere in all races. part of our humanity.
mexican get bashed for coming here for living. some people assumes they're illegal alliens even though they don't know for a fact but just because of their reputation, they just say they're all illegal alliens and needs to go back. americans (whites and blacks) won't realize how hard it is for other races to live here unless they're married to one. not just friend to one, but married to one. because then you'll realize you have financial problem because your spouse can't work of find a job anywhere because of racism. never heard of it? come live in my town.
