those whe say they are not racist, are living in denial. all human beings a dislike of his fellow beings in some way. this dislike can be because of, colour, religion, race, culture, tradition, food and clothing is another issue as well for disliking.

There is not liking someone of a minority, you could very well have a valid reason for that, just as you might not like someone of your own race, but to not like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, for no good reason is ignorant. And not liking someones food or clothing isn't racist, thats just your own taste.

I think it is more fair to say that all human beings have prejudice of one kind or another - but that is not a bad thing and it does not mean to say that you necessarily dislike the things against which you are prejudice. Rascism is a whole different matter. However I can dislike someone who happens to be of another race without being rascist. And if I am not keen on someones traditions, culture, religion, food or clothing it doesn't make me a rascist. I think you need to go back to basics and look up the meaning of words.

No as i have got a colur TV.
No seriously, i am not racist and never will be, i belive that everyone is equal no matter what colour/race they are.
I think a lot of it has to do with the goverment, they are making people racists.
They are treating people from other countries better than the people who were born in this country.
They are getting everything handed to the on a plate, while the hard working people are struggling.

personally, i don't believe that everyone is racist or is capable of being racist. i for one am not racist and i am not saying it for the sake of it because the truth is that i am not one. i am not a bigot and i do not hate people because they are black, white, asian, in the same way i i do not hate people of whom are gay, lesbian, of whom have different views to myself. i was born to live but also to treat people with respect, regardless of who they were- be it black, white, homosexual, old, etc.
there is a difference between being racist and disliking a person, food, clothing. being racist means discriminating or hating someone because of the colour of their skin, nationality. disliking a person because of the country they were born in, or not liking curry, chinese food, reggae however is NOT racist. it is purely a matter one's choice and has nothing to do with the origin of the food, clothing or whatever it is

There may be some truth in what you say.
Personally I think that people who complain about racism or use this as a playing card and ask these types of questions are racist themselves as they often bring the issue of race into things unnecessarily.

Yeah The west has problems with coping with racism, they sense like they might desire to legislate on human beings's concepts and words to cause them to "politically superb suited" and to that end to superb suited racism, yet it particularly is complete below the effect that each and every physique non-whites are too vulnerable to help themselves. So all race rules are under no circumstances used to help whites. so which you would be unable to stare at a individual and appreciate or in basic terms gawk at their colour (in case you wanted to) such as you are able to in China or Japan. My united states of america, Russia does not call Asians yellow human beings, (they produce different words for them ;) ). Asians are in all probability at a loss for words once you call them yellow because of the fact that is not universally understood... One 2nd theory in case you called somebody a yellow individual they might know it particularly is Asian individual... Asians are much less annoying to tell aside, in case you're south Asian or North Asian then blacks are. So colour yellow isn't so useful.

By no means is being even a bit "racist" a part of human nature if that is what you are implying
We made this reality that we see today, not that reality made us this way, love is in our hearts

the world has become so silly everything has to be politically correct,like the big bro thing,im from yorkshire so if someone didnt know my last name and called me laina yorkshire pudding i wouldnt care my husbands from lanashire i call him my lancs hot pot,is this being racist??i think not and if someone associated fish n chips with being from england who would really care,i think the ethnic majority out there should wind their necks in and get a grip and if they dont like our country then sod off somewhere else!!!

to be racist is to be against someone purely because of colour/nationality etc. to dislike someone is different, if that person happens to be of another ethnic background, doesnt make you racist. i`m white and believe me, there are a few white people i cant stand, does that make me anti-white?

perhaps you only think that because that's what you think, and that's the only perspective from which you can see the world.
as difficult as it may be for you to believe, i am confident that there are some people for whom this is not an issue.
