Whenever I see someone on tv who is making a mean, nasty, or degrading comment about a caucasian person, to me what they are really saying is "I don't like white people". Why do we in society find this so acceptable. Do people think that caucasians don't have feelings?? Why is okay to punish people for something that happened years before they were born. Why is this topic never discussed in public forums?? Everyone deserves to be treated with the same kindness as the next person, no matter what color they are!

It's because White people are the only race that gets blamed for racism. People think that it's okay to blame us for America's racist past. And a lot of people don't really care about anti-White bigotry. It isn't called racism when minorities say & do bad things to White people. That's the truth. I wish it wasn't true, but it is.

The same reason why people feel its acceptable to be openly racist toward any other race... because the people that do it are ignorant and insensitive. The majority of non-whites don't feel its acceptable to be racist towards whites... but just like anyone else, you'll find that few who do it

I see many people of different ethnicities knock on other races including their own; not just caucasians. It's wrong in any event, but I think it is just a way to laugh at the fact that there are so many ignorant people out there who are truly racist.

Every race gets made fun of. Maybe it only offends u because u are white. I have no hard feelings towards white people or any other race but trust me, white people are not the only people who get made fun of. Its all a matter of stereotyping and how they were raised.

Racism isn't acceptable. I don't watch those shows that poke fun at anyone based on race. I don't think they're funny and I have the option of changing the channels. Good luck. 2D

i've seen t.v. shows putting a lot more races down aside from just caucasians, but i feel your anger. it's not that people think caucasians don't have feelings, it's just that they're ignorant. it makes me mad just as much as it makes you mad, but hey, it's life. everyone's going to have something negative to say about everyone else.

trust me it's not easy for latinos either. We latinos suffer as much as white people. I have seen movies where a latino is either a gangster or a drunk. Whites are not the only ones who have to worry about racism.

I agree everyone should be treated equally. And I think you're refering to television outlets such as BET...which I trully despise. But hey, this is LIFE. Ok?

I don't find racism toward anybody acceptable. It's just stupid and it shouldn't be tolerated.
