Why do most people think only white people are racist?

Answer 1

Stereotyping is bad, no matter who does it. Let's however, take into consideration Historical facts of who went where and conquered other people for gain and placed them in slavery or economic dire straights. Sometimes it is color envy. Could that be the reason, whites are considered in general to be racist?

Not everybody believes that ALL white people are evil or racist. Not all of them were in charge. In most cases, Europeans left those nations in ruins and never made compensation for it or made restitution or given equality under their rule of law. Most lost their extended families, national identity, language, customs and traditions.

In Hawaii, for example, the same dances were once deemed pornographic and banned by the Catholic Church until later, the same with Native Americans. Aztecs lost their calandars to Europeans and their identity, cultural heritage and most of their history.

Among those nations of disenfranchised people were the people of Asia,the Middle East, Africa, the Aborigines of Australia, New Zealand, The South Pacific Islanders,Central, South and North America! what would you presume if you came from another planet?

Answer 2

Most people do not think that only white people are racist. Most people are who? Racism is available in all colors and sizes and shapes. Try being an indigenous person in your own country and you will find that at the same time trying to be a mestizo in an indigenous region is as hard as being white from north America in China.

Answer 4

Because I guess Whites are the most out-spoken racists at times. But it's not that Whites are the only racists, every culture has some type of racism against another culture. It's pathetic, really.

Answer 6

I think it all goes deeper into our history (USA) to the time when there was slavery....this led to the blacks and some whites crying whites were racist. Ah yes, history has a hugh impact on today's world. Who can forget our history.

Answer 7

not all of us do. most people who think that way usually mention "immigrants", but what they have to realise is that if they can't trace their family tree back more than five generations, they are considered an "immigrant". I look white, but my family has Celtic, French, North American Indian, and Black ancestry.

Answer 8

Well...I personally have been a victim of reversed rasism...Almost everytime I am a customer in a store where the employee was of color. Very disrespectful. Im sorry but how can people possibly think they deserve respect when they dont even respect themselves? Its ok for a colored to call another ******, and to call whites...whitey or honky. But heaven forbid if anyone non colored came remotely close to saying that. Im so sick of hearing.."Its becasue Im black" boo hoo "Its becasue Im black".No its because your attitude sucks and you think the world owes you something.NOT.

Answer 9

they don't. people know exactly that non-whites are just as racist as white are supposedly.

however, it's just that whites are in power, so they make everyone's favorite targets

Answer 10

That is called "inverse racism". Which, when you think about it, is something of a racist term itself...

Personally, I think if we all stop worrying about political correctness quite so much, we'd make much more rapid and meaningful social progress.
