Saying that "all of them" are racist might be a harsh stereotype, but I'll bet close to 85% of them are racist.

You are just as safe saying that as I am saying that all liberals (i.e. the political left in the USA) are terrorist sympathizers.

No.
-Being Christian does not make you racist, bc the Bible preaches equality no matter what the race, and that you should be unselfish and put others before yourself.
-Living in the South might make you racist by tradition, but it's not a guarantee. Most southerners I know I are nice, albeit with annoying accents. I was raised by Southern racists, and I'm not one.
-Voting for George W Bush could just mean that you have conservative economic politics, hate abortion, or just didn't like Gore or Kerry. George has a more diverse cabinet than any president in history, has a Spanish sister-in-law, and has done a lot for AIDS afflicted people in Africa. He may be a retard for starting the war, but he's not racist. There are plenty of reasons for a person to vote for Bush that have nothing to do with race.
-Being Caucasian? Please, bigotry has never been exclusively white.
I think anger, unforgiveness, bad experience, parents, and blanket judgments turn people into racists, not politics or religion.

Its probably safer to assume that you have no idea what you are talking about and have come up with some idiot way of trying to insult a lot of people - Bush got votes for a whole range of reasons but I really don't think that you can say that he got votes for being racist - he may be a lot of things, but racist isn't one of them.
The problem with stereotypes is that they feed other stereotypes and soon some fool will actually believe it.

Yes. It's a good rule of thumb to remember that it's perfectly safe and okay to group together and stereotype anyone who is white and of the Christian faith. It's also okay to lambaste them in anyway you see fit. They're all the same. Always remember that it's completely ludicrous to do this to ANY other group or even THINK something that would suggest that you can judge non whites based on their color, race, region of origin, sex (unless they're male in some cases) or faith regardless how outlandish. Stick to this and you'll be safe!

Why because they are Caucasian and Christians ? I know the south have a bit off racism they keep quiet about to this day , but to categorize certain individuals because of their beliefs and color is a racist remark in itself . You also have a bit o racism going on in the blacks communities too .

that would be the same as saying that all liberal democrats are mental ill. Now that would be a bit harsh too, while all extreme far-lefties do exhibit traits as defined as mental illness, true liberalism exist only in a minority. that might be a bit too deep, as only a truly honest fair-minded people will admit the difference. Oh how easy to throw around the race card, usually the ones who do are the real racist.

No, not even close to 85%. I'm guessing the '04 voters of that genre were mostly Gore, believe it or not.

I think it is not quite as safe as to assume that people who support affirmative action are really just trying to keep black people from integrating because they are racist.

There's racism in the north. On the news this morning (and I'm in a blue state) they reported 5 men beat a black guy with a baseball bat.

Actually your dead wrong... Being one of the people described in your stereotype, I can attest that myself and most that I know are not racist.
