Maybe it's just frustration, when things don't work in peoples lives they look for any reason other than themselves why it's not working. They see another person of another race doing well and that infuriates them. That is what happened in Nazi Germany with Hitler and the Jews and that is what is happening now with the Arabs and the USA. People need to make their situation work and start accepting responsibility for their own decisions. We're all in this together and the sooner they all understand that the better off we'll be.

I believe ignorance and the unwillingness to accept themselves and others. I have a bi-racial grand nephew age 2 yrs now. However, we moved from a rented home to our own after the landlord stated to my husband that he wanted no jig·a·boo(jg-b) n. Offensive Slang
Used as a disparaging term for a Black person living in his home. The baby was 3 mos at the time. I was born in 1960 and thought that we came some distance. Now it looks as if we really mad no progress. This goes beyond and before the 60's. History repeats itself. The best and the ugly. Yes, it is illegal to discriminate. It is though our word against his. Who needs the hassle. Also, he was a retired officer in the Navy and my husband also a retired chief. See even in the military there is still the old ways. Found out that he told my husband he was selling the house and informed the realator thar he only wanted a white middle class couple in the home. The landlord lived next door. I would have fought it. I just did not want to have the baby suffer.

From where I sit the 60s & 70s were better than today.
We celebrated our sameness and we were closer. Then
some clansman came along and said we should start
celebrating our deference. Lots of people went for it and
now we are farther apart than we have been since the
40s & 50s. Now the same people who grasp the high ground
are the most bigoted of all.

Unfortunately, racism does exist and people face it daily.
Do you think questions and answers on the site as a whole are offensive and racist? Or did you mean just on certain subtopics such as religion, philosophy, etc?
People are going to state their opinions and present their ideas, and some do it quite emphatically.
If you find the remarks, questions or answers offensive, you can report that person for abuse. I have done it myself, and as a result, posts have been removed.

I hope that people are responding to such crude behavior. Some people have such a basic low opinion of themselves and their abilities that they have to put other people down to see a ray of hope for themselves. Of course, they SAY that they are better than others, but, even if that were so, better people try to help those around them rather than put them down and do not show a need to stand on tiptoes so everyone sees how much better they are. We are all brothers and sisters, but apparently from a dysfunctional family! God does not make it easy! He gave up many opportunities, however, to show our better selves.

I, personally, don't see an inordinate amount.
But, when I do, I always flag them for misconduct.
