Seems to me that having an opinion that might offend others is likely to become a hanging offence. Surely we cannot ALL love one another, and what is wrong with saying you don't like somebody ~ for whatever reason, whether it is because they have ginger hair, big ears or are a particular colour or creed? What is this country coming to? (No offence to ginger-haired people by the way, personally I think the coulour is attractive.)

To be honest i hate these british muslim communities, im sure there is plenty of nice people in the communties but i believe the vast majority wouldnt report terrorist activities within them making them less helpful too.
Also they complain when they get told they cant wear headdresses at school , BUT when we go to their countries for what ever insane reason we want to , we have to dress like them.
Also , who gets upset to the degree they riot about a silly cartoon about their god?

In this day and age, it is VERY hard to be a REAL racist. Think about it. If you were an absolute racist against blacks (I'm white, so I'll use blacks for my example), then you wouldn't eat at any restaurant or fast-food place that employs blacks because you wouldn't want them touching your food. You wouldn't buy a Ford vehicle because you know Ford employs black people, and you don't want to give them employment security. You wouldn't get on Yahoo Answers because you know there are black people on there, and you don't want to be exposed to their ideas/thoughts/answers.
The fact that people are online probably disqualifies them from truly being a racist, because all nationalities, skin colors, religions, etc. are represented online. People CAN be BIASED or PREJUDICED, and I freely admit to bing biased towards white people because I'm white. And I fully expect black people, or Jews, or gay people or whoever to be biased toward that group that they are a part of.
Plus, being a racist requires a lot of energy. I mean, you have to BE angry, and STAY angry to be a racist. It's very hard to pull off. But I would say most people are biased or prejudiced, but not racist.

you don't dislike some one because of the colour of there hair,skin,the religion or the cast or cread,you only dislike them because they have craped on you.be like me like everyone for who they are and if they are rud to you just smile and let it go over your head but if they attack you then your ithor dead or your seriously injured in hospital here.being rasest is the biggest sickness in this country.
stop and think if your sick or a person in your family is seriously ill and your in need of blood and a part to be transplanted then there is a red head and a black person and an the person in your family has no chance of surviving unless they get the blood and the part and these are there to donate are you gonna tell the doctore to get them out of your sight just coz' you dont like them for the colour of there hair or skin or religion.no you would forget all your bad feeling so long as you can see your loved ones life saved.so stop lettinf fools rule your mind.how boaring the world is getting to become.racist should be locked away with the race they dont like and see what it would feel like to learn there lessons.
yes we can all love and respect one another know why because we are all human and we got a brain and we are not animals and we are not brain dead and yes we have a load of fools ruling our minds and telling us what to think.give everyone a chance.and let there be love that rules the world and not hate.

Most people confuse being a racist .and being prejudice as the same thing .I don't think they are .If you love who you are and people of the same back ground and up bringing .Nothing wrong with that . To me that's a racist .But to discriminate against someone because their colour religion .That's prejudice and it's wrong.The point i'm trying to make is in my view to be racist is to love your race .to racial is to discriminate

Everyone is racist... no one admits it or has the intelligence to even understand what the word means...
Most people attribute it to a social condition in a negative context...
It is a general basic term used to distinguish natural superior selection. A personal preference based on what is closest to ones own self, color race, features ect.
I posed a question a long time ago and asked people what race they felt was the most beautiful. Everyone answered, most people said either a combination of themselves and something else they felt was exotic and alluring, or what they themselves were. Everyone generalized and spoke at length about nose shapes and eyes and skin... It is basically racist. But who cares really? The kind of people that like to make bigger deals out of situation than they should be to feel better about themselves and harp on age old predjudice and outdated scenerio in history...
It is natural... It is normal and everyone does it. I was never a big fan of the kind of people that find things okay as long as you watch THEY WAY you say it... It is what it is. PERIOD!
As only one exampke of many, I can't stand black people harping about being called African Americans or getting angry about white kids using nig*ga (with an A) . Verb, adjective, noun... Whatever it is, and WHOEVER uses it ARE ALL RACIST!
Black or white! Neither one is correct or proper both are ignorant at best.
The KKK as one example of radical extremists are not simply racist... they are far more than that and it should be understood that just by a black man saying he prefers black women over white women or a white girl saying she only likes blond men with blue eyes or Asian men only dating Asian women... does make each of them a racist. It is all about the WAY you say it that makes it right or wrong and THAT is just an ignorant way to behave.
classifying and separating people by features social status or skin color is something everyone does. Black white Asian green purple or red... Like it or not everyone is a racist...
All Asians feel superior in intellect and looks
All African Americans feel superior in Sports and physical beauty
All Whites feel superior about everything... (and they're not)
Latinos feel they are the best at family and social structure as in community and camaraderie...
and on the opposite side of the coin, you have each and all of these all trying to act and look like the others. so...
No one speaks about it but everyone is racist and I really wish every politically correct retard would just stop tossing around accusations that mean nothing just to emaliorate themselves and seem better or intellectually above everyone else.

i have noticed that an awaful lot of racists always start with "I'm not a racist but...".
If this is an admission of racism (and I believe it is as the next part of the sentance is usually so ridiculously rasict as to remove any possibility of doubt) then the answer is yes.

Ginger colored hair, big ears, differing creeds, etc do not have ENOUGH to do with racism. Stick to racism and racism alone -- imagine all the ugly racist names you have heard -- and your question becomes something altogether stronger and nastier than you had the courage to carry out, although you teased at it.
Bottom line, if the world is going to be okay to live in for a long time, people need to think in terms of getting along. Neither race, nor class, nor looks, nor sex can stand between people. No Pollyanna preachments. It's just common sense.

Most people become racist through their experiences!
If you act like a beast, and your treated like a beast. It's because of your actions not the color of your skin, or how big your ears are!
