Ok what i want to say is that if people express that they don't like certain race in my opinion they are not racist , they just can't accept new things very easily. I don't know if you agree with me or not . Ok so i talked to these Chinese girls they were pretty rude to me and thats when I started hating Chinese people. Now in my mind I have that all Chinese people are bad which is not so but I am not a racist and hating them should not make me Racist. I hope you can understand . Please don't be harsh in giving your opinion.

When you judge someone based on thier race color or religion BEFORE you ever meet them you are prejudice. If you base your dislike on race thats racist. You can dislike a person of a different race without being racist but if you dislike EVERYONE of that race well...thats just not cool.
Did you ever think that maybe the people were rude to you because they hate all people of your race...it didnt feel good did it? So why would you want to do that to other people. Racism begets racism...if you are rude to every chinese person you meet you are giving them the opinion that everyone like you is a hateful person.
Rise above your anger and be the bigger person. Dont judge a book by its cover.

Check the dictionary definition for "racism". If you don't like or have some sort of prejudicial feelings against an entire race or culture of people, then you are racist. That is the most basic definition of what being racist is. Where you raised under a rock? And you started hating ALL Chinese people everywhere because a couple of Chinese girls were "rude" to you? Gimme a break. Either you said something inappropiate to piss those girls off, or those particular girls were b*tches. Those girls behavior has absolutely nothing to do with the billions of Chinese people, not to mention all of the other asian people all over the rest of the world. And if you think I am being "harsh" in giving my opinion, its because you are being completely ignorant and immature in your opinions and attitudes and you need to grow up.

It may be semantics, but seeing that language is the centerpiece of communication, the battle is joined. No, you are not racist. What you are is a bigot. Yes, being one does not mean you necessarily are the other. It's just that they link up so well that we've blurred the lines between them. Racism is the belief that x race is genetically superior to y race, z race, et al. You don't necessarily hate them for who they are, but you should be able to see how this is incredibly patronizing. e.g.: "They just can't help being ignorant Irishmen". Bigotry is an unfounded (and yes two girls being rude to you as a basis is unfounded) hatred. It is a "them" and "us" mentality. Look at them, they're different. Why do they have to act that way? They're not like us. We're OK. The way we do things is normal, but them... And I think they smell kinda funny, too. Hate it when they stare like that. Put whatever you want in to replace the "them" and "you". We've done the same thing to: Chinese, Japanese, Jews, Mormons, Italians, Irish, Blacks, Homosexuals, Mexicans, Indians, Native Americans, Arabs, oh you get the point. So there's your answer. I just hope no one of your own race is rude to you; that's going to be quite awkward seeing the standard you've set for yourself.

Okay... lets reason here:
A couple of Chines girls were rude to you and now you hate all Chinese people? including those you have never met? huh?
How unreasonable and silly is that? You can't hate an entire group of people based on the actions of a few of them.
How would you feel if someone felt that way about you? Like upon meeting you, they automatically HATE you cause of your race?
Hatred is not worth it. Try to live peacably with everyone and enjoy life.
Good luck!

It is racist to say all.
I dont like alot of Armenians and Mexicans but Im not going to say all. I dont even like alot of Blacks. Just because it happens to be a Majority of one particular race doesnt make u racist. But then again, I really dont care what I'm called. But just say Im racist against most people in the human race.lol

look, do not subject approximately despite if some thing is "racist" or not while it incorporates your very own own risk-free practices. have confidence your instinct. human beings advance instincts for a reason. in case you think of you have irrational fears, despite if that is in accordance with "racism" or not, then manage that separately at a time once you could rather type that form of stuff out in a rational way. yet in no way hesitate to apply your intestine instincts once you think of you could nicely be at risk. yet additionally, don't be overly paranoid. while uncertain, be careful.

Yes. If you hold a prejudiced view of a person because of their race, you are a racist. You would be justified in disliking people who were rude to you, but can hardly dicriminate against all people who share their characteristics.

Yes, you are a racist... Just because they were rude to you does not mean that they represent everyone else who is of the same nationality or ethnicity. You are a racist, plain and simple.

I think there are 1,000,000,000 people, just in China alone, plus all the others who have emigrated. You hate ALL of them? Because they are Chinese?
Yes, you are a racist.
