i'm from south east asia and have had limited contact with yanks, save through celluloid. my friends studying in the states have suffered a lot of racism, so i've always had an impression that people there are judged by colour a lot. this forum has opened my eyes. and to the minority giving your country a bad rep, up yours!

I think you will find that most Americans aren't racist. However, they are very class conscious, particularly towards those groups of individuals for whom crime and victimization are a sport.
Had it not been for the Vietnamese tutors in college, I never would have been able to pass the higher math courses. Thai and Filipino women are some of the most beautiful on earth.
Anyone that would discriminate against Asians based on their ethnicity is a jackass.
Anyone that avoids contact with urbanites with their pants to their knees, medusa hair, gold teeth and tattoos is showing prudence and good common sense.

Racism is not just an american invention. Unfortunately all societies have racist tendencies. Look inside yourself. I bet you have as many racist ideas as others! Don't blame america for problem that has spanned the globe since the beginning of time!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not American, but I will state my opinion anyway. You seem to have an attitude which might well be why you experience what you consider to be racism. It is probably just a natural reaction to the way you come across. The way in which you finish your message with 'up yours' says a lot about you.

I am a proud African American and racism is in the heart of anyone who wants to own it. That could be here there or anywhere. It's up to that person if they want to hate. Blessings

It´s true that people all over the world are racists, but that there are also several who aren´t.

It is good that only few people are racist everywhere.
