I've seen multiple posts about the Caucasian people and how terrable they treat every race on the face of the earth. Why? Are Caucasians the only people who are racist?

Racism is a mental illness found among all tribes of humans. They are the dregs of civilizations, the lowest common denominators related to emotional, cognitive and spiritual development.

Mostly that happen in the North american places b/c there are more white people dominating the north american areas and since we only see the racism in NA we think that most white people are racist. White are the majority in NA so if they have any racist comments most people from the other cultures are often scared or don't understand the comment to retaliate back therefore the whites are considered the racist ones. Every continent/country has a majority of some kind of race living there and when outsiders enter they feel as if the outsiders have no right to be there and therefore become hostile and racist toward them. I don' think white are the most racist. It all depends on where you live and the majority of the race living there. If only people can accept everyone as being equal human beings then the world as we know it would be much more peaceful.

No, anyone can be racist. But whites created the false theories of race that are the foundation of modern racism and through slavery and colonialism, they infected pretty much every part of the world with those racist views. Every group has racists or bigots, but whites as a group have had a disproportionate impact when it comes to spreading and enforcing racist beliefs.
For example, the Belgians brought their theories of racial hierarchy to Rwanda and turned what had been two closely aligned groups against each other by giving preferred positions to taller, lighter skinned Tutsis solely because some of their features looked more "European." A century later, the seed of hatred that they planted erupted into genocide. Throughout Central and Latin America a white minority still enjoys advantaged positions relative to the overwhelming majority of brown people who live there. And we all know the story of race in America.
So while it's true that members of every group can be racist, without doubt white racism has been one of the worst forms of intolerance ever to be visited by one group of people on another.
That doesn't make any individual white person personally responsible for the racist actions of others. But it does explain why so many non-whites are so sensitive to white racism in particular.

I didn't know that. Thank you for telling me that. A question that gets considerably closer to the truth is "why do 'caucasians' think that other people only consider 'caucasians' racist."

That's a racist question. Racism runs rampant in all races. Singling out a race to be racist IS racist. Aren't people making ANY progress with this crap?! People are just people . We need to find a way to hate eachother on an individual basis.

Caucasians are considered racist becasue they have oppressed every other race. Native Americans, Puerto Ricans, African Americans, Irish, Mexican etc. Maybe if there wasn't such a long history others wouldn't have reason to suspect that you guys still feel that way. Plus there are more of you, for now.

Some claim the world is schizophenic . I think it is definitely confused . Caucasians seem to be the least racists these days.
peace out

No they just might have had an experience where the white person did them wrong. But no there are some blk people who are racist against their own kind!

I think that that is extremely correct. I have an annoying friend who always calles anyone a racist or one small thing, and of course he is black. Even if I say black, I am automatically racist. He even calls me a terrorist since I am from Iran (even though Iranians are not terrorists). And he does not even call that racism.He gets all these ideas from this stupid show he watches, The Chapelle Show. It drives me insane!!!!

What a ridiculous comment ,
Anybody can be racist
Some Portuguese hate English,
blacks ,against white .many Mexicans think they are better than everybody,
Eskimos do not like many cannucks
Zulus say they are superior to Bushmen
Many Boers think that Zulus are monkeys
and so it goes on.
far too many examples to mention.
