Are you a racist and how can you be for sure?

Question

I know racism is viewed in a very negative light when it is expressed outwardly, but take the time to think to yourself and discover the truth about: Are you a racist? and how can you be for sure?

After determining the truth about yourself, let me know.

Me? Fine, if you REALLY have to know...I don't think I am a racist. The definition of racist is someone who believes their race is better than all other races in one way shape or form. Sigh...So no, I'm not a racist. I simply believe that some races are predetermined to particular behavior in certain situations. Such as emotion, loyalty, maturity, health, and overall behavior. Does that make me a bad person? Fine, then sue me, but enough about me. Post your response!!!

Believe it or not, this is for research and will be observed and judged by a team of scientists. We are asking people online, and in person (some are paid for their thoughts and views, many are not!)...But this WILL be published! Thank you and please be honest!

Racism- The view that one's own race is predetermined to be superior to another race. This can be financially, emotionally, physically, or even of social status and well being. The like generally receives a negative response because racism is often viewed as one acting on 'hatred' (physically and verbally) toward another race of people.

It is one thing to have pride in yourself or even your race, but the term racism is reserved for those that hold their race (and not their individual self) above all others in every aspect of life, due to genetic composition.

Answer 1

I am not racist, but I am prejudiced. I judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. Unfortunately honesty and character are becoming more difficult to find in our situational ethics society of today.

Answer 2

well, if you use that definition, then no. i am not a racist.
i can only speak for me when i say this because i believe certain groups, such as white people, are usually born as what people say is racist.
because white people have had the reputation of empowering other races people have grown into the mentality that all white people are racist.
if you hear a black person today call another black person the n word, they would just shrug it off. but if you hear a white person call a black person the n word, thats a whole other story.
there are many other situations for other races.

i don't think my race is better than any other race (even though i think thats called ethnoentrism, i don't know)

so...using that definition, no. i am not a racist.

Answer 3

No, I am not a racist. Their are 6 billion of us on this giant flying blue and green ball called earth. We might as well try to get along and be kind to each other, and work towards that. Rather than despise each other for silly reasons like the color of our skin. Racism is abit of a misonomer as a word. No matter what color you are, we are still apart of the same race. The human race.
