generalization thats all it is instead of recognizing blacks mexicans and so on as individual people they catagorize all people with a certain skin color and physical features as the same person even though that person is usually a minority in their own race the whole idea of race is dumb for we all have similar minds and we bleed through similar veins the color of skin is just an adaptation to the environment in which each individual race originated from

most peoples normal racism is usually based on the sterotyping of groups. IE: white guys can't jump. mexicans must have snuck over the border. Black people are better dancers. jewish people don't tip.... i call it the 1% rule.
Hardcore racism is not funny. funny sterotyping is funny.
I work in a very racially mixed envionment (token jewish white guy) and i will admit to an outsider our lunchroom sounds like racism central..but its all about intent.
i will laugh at all the jew jokes and can tell a few great mexican/ jamacian/black/indian/asian jokes.

They need someone to blame for their own failures. Everyone is not racist "to some extent".....Anyone CAN be racist....its a decision one makes to justify anger and satisfy ignorance. It appears to have some thinking it has shock value and stirs people up so they ask questions about race...its very immature and breeds hate.

I don't know why people are racist. I have started to hate being white because we started racism.

I hate it when people say that racism exists in everyone; it doesn't. Prejudice may, but the two aren't the same thing.

the problem is most of the racists on here are morons so I don't think you will get answers that would enlighten you on the subject...
racism is illogical when you think about it - given there are no real "races"...so what kind of intelligient answer could these ppl come up with...

Well, I'm not racist, but I don't see how talking about racism can help it, racists usually think that they are too good to 'stoop' to the level of 'normalcy'.

Why beg the question? Surely you've seen all the comments on yahoo. As for "CHINESEB" I think it's sad when one minority tries to put down another. He can laugh all he wants but I've heard people say disparaging things about his ethnic group too, so arrogance is foolish. Shame on you CHINESEB.
