Answer 1

Hello there bunny.

To a certain degree, yes.

Even the most liberal of people could find a custom of at least one race around the world that offended them.

In those circumstances, they would be elevating themselves above the other race by virtue of the fact that they consider their customs offensive.

In a very general sense, that is racism.

Answer 2

Isn't a racist someone who makes an erroneous or hateful statement about someone or some group just because they're of a different race? So, no, not everyone is a racist in some way or the other. I think you may be confusing being judgemental with racism. We all judge people, no matter what color. And it's a good thing to judge people, sometimes, because it can keep us safe. You wouldn't let your 5 year old daugther go by herself to the park, right? Why not? Because she might not be safe. You're concerned that someone will hurt her, just as well as you're concerned that she might get hurt by falling, so you've just made a judgement call. There are bad people out there, of all colors and walks of life. It's okay to judge people, sometimes, especially where safety is concerned. Even when you know that there are gangs in your neighborhood, and you decide to lock your doors to stay safe, you're not considered racist. You consider yourself as someone who's taking extra precautions to keep his family safe. But, if you say that all gangs are black or hispanic, you are making an erroneous judgement, and you could be considered racist. How's that? <*)))><

Answer 3

Well, i guess in some ways. Like if you look at some one different then you are sometimes you think of her\him as kind of weird and different and strange. But i also believe that people can stop it. Maby not all the way in your head, but if you don't spread the way you think around to other people, and only say good things, you are not really being racist.

Answer 4

I don't think so, it's possible for an individual to be a bigot but racism comes from a political institution or corporation, it's a collective term. For all individuals to share that sort of social commonality is statistically impossible. It's only in the collective that these views manifest as racism. One on one we all mostly just get along.

Answer 5

No, I don't think so. I think too many people use this as an excuse for their own racism. All X are Y is racism per se. So if a black person says all whites are racist, no matter how many black friends they have or what good manners they have in their dealings with blacks, then they are making the very term racist meaningless.

There are black racists, too, you know. People who are stereotyping whites are just as racist as those who stereotype blacks. And the same goes for other cultures and ethnic groups.

Try harder to see people as individuals, not as their membership in some arbitrary category.

Answer 6

Everyone discriminates to a certain degree, but any reasonable person doesn't let it become a problem. I would imagine that that kind of hate would be very tiring. I personally have more important things to worry about.

Answer 7

I don't think any race is better than the other at all. If you mean we attibute certain cultural things to certain races, I guess we all do that but I wouldn't call it racist if it is a cultural thing.

Answer 8

yes, i agree it's very sad and perhaps we may not notice ourselves doing it sometimes but it's true. Muslim or non muslim we have all been racist at one point or another and sterotyped.

Answer 9

Yes, but people are not willing to admit it.
Those of us that recognize that everyone is, do our best to recognize our own shortcomings and revise.
Everyone has some degree of racism.
