No one is born a racist. Exposure to racist attitudes or (perceived) injustices alters that during one's lifetime.

As a sista, i would say no. Racism is not genetic. White ppl are not born racist. You have to taught this thinking. Most of the ones I know do have "racist tendencies"...an unneccisary comment here or racist joke there... but I know that racism comes in all types of ppl and there will be just be those ignorant ones out there, and look at the individula, not the color of their skin...
most peace and love...

As you can see from most of the answers, hell yeah all white people have racist tendecies. They were born that way, there is nothing we can do. They grown up believing that they are better than all people of color when in reality, they aren't. Honestly, you have to watch out for white people. The ones who say that they aren't racist are the ones who generally are the most. No matter how many times they pretend to be equal, they will never put themselves on the same level as any person of color.

I have a daughter who is of 3 races, so I raised her to believe she is the "best". I am not a person who is racist, but I have met many racist folks from all ethnic backgrounds. Racism is a social disease, education and tolerance is the key. All races will be here until the end of time, we all have to coexist.
I am not a "white" person, I prefer "Euro-American"

No. Racism is learned, not inherited. "White" people aren't the only ones that may be racist. Anyone of any race may have racist tendencies.

No. If you watch people on a day to day basis you will notice that in today's world the whites are the least racist. If you want to find where the real racism is today all you have to do is listen to rap music. The message is loud and clear.

In my observations colored people are the most racist of all that I have came across. I, myself see beyond the color of a persons skin. It's what is in a persons heart that makes them racist. And it all boils down to hate. If a person hates another person for the color of their skin, They are racist in my opinion.

I can't answer for all white people, only for myself. I was brougfht up to treat all people equally & certainly do not consider myself to be a racist in any way.

No. Racist tendencies are learned. (Therefore, have to be unlearned later; through education)
A few white people managed to grow up without learning any.

Just "white people" ???
The only "white" people I have ever seen are referred to as "Albino" (lacking any pigmentationto their skin).
No more so than any other race that I know of.
