No, I am not a racist. You don't hate or mistreat a person because of the color of his skin, his religion or his sex.
We are all creations of God and we were all conceived and born in the same way. This means that we are all the same. The only difference is our skin colors, shape of our eyes and nose and etc in addition to other exterior differences. Does that make one group of people better than others. I don't think so. We are all the same.
If man could get this idea through his thick skull and actually believe it, I don't think that the current problems would have existed.

Racism is dead in America, for the most part. Now, it's more "Culturism". People are stereotyped by their cultures, not the color of their skin. However, most cultures do have an overwhelming majority of one color over another, so a "culturist" statement is mistaken for "racist".
Here's what I mean:
Two white women walk down the sidewalk. They see two black boys in sagging jeans and tall tee's walking toward them. They become uncomfortable, and cross the street.
Many people would call that "racist". But if the black boys were in collared shirts and khaki slacks, the women most likely wouldn't have been intimidated. It's the culture that's the issue, not the race.
And for what I said about a culture having a majority of one "color" over another, you can't pretend it's not true. Try this: Assign a "race" color to these "cultural" stereotypes...
Gangster Rapper: _________
Trailer Park Trash:__________
Terrorist:________
Illegal Alien:_________
Pretty much 99% of anybody filling in those "colors" will guess the same ones as everyone else.
So there is a culture issue in America. Actual racism, like the KKK that hates based solely on the color of your skin and nothing else, well that hardly exists anymore.

Are you racist? Just wondering because you asked, not that that means you are. Anyway, I am not. I don't believe in hatred like that or any other hatred. We are all the same on the inside. Even if we were the same on the outside wouldn't you think that would be boring? We would be different anyway because of our hair, eyes and any other part of our bodies. Then someone would be prejudice about one of those. What are your views?

i'm not really, i know people and have had friends of all different races... HOWEVER when it comes to people i DONT know, i think i can be a little bit. i shy away from people who... actually i pretty much shy away from everyone... so thats maybe not racist, but i have caught myself making jokes about mexicans putting so many people into one small space, um... i'm a white girl, but i think it get the most nervous around white guys, their mean. most black guys i come in contact with are really nice and friendly, and the mexicans i just cant understand, and i dont really see any other races than that... sometomes i call people oreo's also
