You are not black and you are not fooling anyone. Also, you are just instigating. Anyone who has followed this person's posts (I do not know if it is male or female) can look back and see that s/he goes from the most gutter "ghetto" to almost normal speech, as is in this post. All s/he is trying to do is make Black people look racist. That is the point of this person's posts.
But, I shall answer your question, or, rather, racist statement couched as a question.
All of us have prejudices. That is "pre" and "judge" combined. That is how we percieve the world. The difference between someone with these normal prejudices and bigots is that the bigots act on their pre-judgements and do not see the individual past the prejudice.
I am not a bigot. I mentioned living in a ghetto. It was a Mexican versus El Salvadorian battlezone and they took particular pleasure with pale people (I am very pale). Now, in that neighborhood I had been jumped by a gang (I won) and attempted assault by some individuals (I never lost) so when I saw a largeish group of male youths approach me my senses heightened.
Here is the difference between a bigot and someone who has had life experiences.
When said groups of youths approached me, my senses came on alert but if they smiled at me and said "hola! Como esta?" like they usually did, I smiled, waved and said "bein, bein" and exchanged a few words in English or my horrid smattering of Spanish, parting with a thump on the back that was pretty standard for "you're OK" in that neighborhood. I did not take my experiences with the gang that jumped me or the other people who bothered me in that neighborhood out on the youths. I judged each encounter individually and seperate from the negative encounters. Oh pardon my spelling of Spanish. I do not speak the tongue.
That is how I deal with everything. I do have prejudge-ice because we ALL prejudge, but what makes me NOT a bigot is that I change my opinion and do not think that one, two, or three bad occurances with an ethnicity makes the entire ethnicity "bad".
I doubt the branhilla or whatnot does not care about my words but maybe someone reading them might understand.

"Whites who speak out are forced to attend diversity training courses." This is because they dominate literally every aspect of American life especially the job market and politics. This being said that is very understandable.
The main problem I have with the author of this question is she seems to be incredibly ignorant. While I grew up aware of many of the differences between races, I was never taught to or developed a hateful attitude toward a particular group. True, there are people of my own race and others who I dislike but that does not make me racist. Some of the nicest people I know are of white origin and in fact, after my parents and a select few other family members, these whites have been among my strongest influences and support system in my life. It is not at all fair to dislike an entire race of people without just cause. Just cause would only be something like being totally rejected by ALL blacks, or whites or hispanic for the respective person. YOU need to enroll in diversity courses yourself.

I agree with you that all people are racists, the greatest racists are those who tell the greatest lie, that lie is that "everyone is equal and that there are no racial differences". I'm a biracial White/Oriental and if you made me a sport scout for a basketball team I would be foolish to use any amount of a limited budget to check talent in Oriental countries (proof look at the NBA, one Chinese basketball player, over a billion Chinese people, not including other Oriental races, and it's common sense to deduce from this don't waste time and money looking for the exception from a place that doesn't rank, look within the ranks for the exception) when I could spend less money and time and scour a high black population in the cities of Detroit, Chicago, or New York with a historical basis should have a decent talent level there. I would also look for Engineers in Sweden, Germany, Japan, and Italy if I was building a car as well if I was put in charge for major auto company to find talent with a limited budget. I wonder if all these "we all are equal" BS politically correct people would still spout such garbage if their family's welfare was on the line and divert the limited budget because "everyone is equal"?
Stereotypes, whether we like them or not, usually have factual basis based on the observation of one group observing another, I think we can only fix things if we didn't live in a state of denial and at least address a problem so it can be fixed. I can prove these lying multi-racialists don't believe a word about equality, if you tell them if we separate all races and preserve each genotype because they are created either by intelligent divine design or evolutionary beneficiary survival adaptation they will tell us how wrong we are and how we're stronger if we're together. If we're all equal then our strength wouldn't necessarily be stronger if we're all together because the other races couldn't contribute anything different if they aren't different, but if they can contribute something that would be missing if they weren't present then this indicates they are different, enough so that it's noticeable. Is it fair? Life isn't fair and people should simply get over it and admit they are either openly racist instead of living the lie of being a closet one living in denial.

I think you have a major problem. Do you know that people regardless of race will treat you the way you treat them. If you approach someone with a smile and respect without automatically assuming that they have something against you because of your skin colour then you will be treated better. i am black and except for a very few exceptions I have never had a problem with people of a different 'colour'.

East Indians hardly ever drink. They are a very honorable people. They are not perfect, but nobody is. It is too bad if whites have decided to insult you. I suggest calling them up on it and explaining why it's wrong--it would set them straight. I have no interest in insulting Blacks as they walk by. I am either nice or leave them alone. Chinese people get a hard time, and why? I have worked for them--and there are certain misunderstandings and differences--but there was only one lady I disliked, and because of her attitude, not because she was Chinese. I hated waitressing.

'The "certainty" element consistently questioned me. maximum bigots think of their prejudices are genuine (they does no longer carry them in any different case), that does no longer mean they are not bigots.' What, precisely, are you attempting to declare? human beings don't have faith some thing this is obviously genuine via fact our society has chosen to attach the notice "bigot" to that perception and shamed anyone who holds it? questioning human beings (study: men) have faith in pursuing the certainty in spite of even in the journey that your society has related a stigma to the outcomes you come across. As for those that sell small-minded arguments like those you probably did right here... nicely, you won't be able to probable exist for any reason different than to serve genuine thinkers.
