Do you feel any elements or traces of racism in you, or have you ever entertained such notions?

Question

If so, why? Describe and explain.

This question is only meant for whites, native citizens of Western nations.

Answer 1

Yes, it depends on the situation.I can get along with people 1 on 1 and no prob.But in my view as soon as their # start growing they change and I se them differantly as a collective,and i tend notto like what i see.
It is also the thig,that as long as things are alright they are fine,but as soon as they don't like something it racial profiling or hate of race and i then see them as racist.
So i guess i am racist sometimes.

Answer 2

I was raised in the South back when there were separate facilities for whites and colored. And separate rules. When I moved North, I had to adjust my thinking and relearn my attitudes. Then I was moved to an all white community and racism was the norm. I was raised by conflicting viewpoints so that helped me become more open-minded. As a young adult, I found myself trying to judge case by case so to speak but found a strain of similarities that reinforced early beliefs.
As an older adult, I gravitate toward my "kind" and do harbor elements of racism but perhaps now to many different races instead of just one.

Answer 3

Dude, whats your problem? To be honest, i enjoy a good ethnic joke every once in a while, but more often than not, its shared with or told by a person of that very category. Its all in good fun. White boy jokes are good and i love hearing them too. But i see all races as equal, i don't think badly of any one grouping of people. As far as individuals go, no one is safe from black listing.

Answer 4

I'm not racist. I'm individualist. If you are black and come to me accusing me of being racist I'm going to be - Against you! But I'm the same way against white people - and I'm as white as it gets! If you promote the stereotype of your race I see no reason as to why I should respect you as a person.

Example: Snooty white people that act as though every race is beneath them.

Answer 5

Yes - and I'm ashamed of myself for it. I have dated men of other races, and had one long-term relationship - yet when I drive thru a low-income African American neighborhood, I find myself checking to see if my car doors are locked. I don't do that in poor white neighborhoods. Go figure

Answer 6

not sure why this question is ment for only the above races you stated...that seems a lil racist there but anyhow i feel that there is good and bad ppl in every race. i act and feel the same way to all ppl i dont care there skin color.
