Racism is it?

Question

Is it caused because we don't understand a culture. Or is it because we have full knowledge of a culture but we still find them susceptible to hatred.

Answer 1

I think it is a mix of both, and more.

Answer 2

Some cultures have a majority of there population (NOT EVERYONE) that show society that they are prone to crime and violence. On surveys and statistical stat sheets some cultures always fall below other cultures due to generations of poor parenting or just plain igonarance. And yet some cultures just look like apes. So the rest of hate them! Not fair but thats the way it is!

Answer 3

David S: "some cultures just look like apes?...i take it your "white" you racist piglet

being a racist is believing you are superior in intelligence to another...thats ignorance and hatred for towards another you believe is sub-human.....have americans forgotten their history of slavery .blacks were considered lower than animals - that belief is still prevalent today...David S is a perfect example

btw i was the only one so far to give you a thumbs down...dont see any other here addressing your racist comment

Answer 4

Racism is caused primarily by fear of the unknown and then when we understand the unknown; it is caused by hatred and ignornace. Racism is so easy to overcome on both sides of whatever colour line but because people choose not to, sometimes -- and please remember I mean no harm -- sometimes *both* sides are as equally guilty of carrying on the war.

Answer 5

That's a really good question. I think it is a little of both. Sometimes a little bit of knowledge is worse than no knowledge at all.

Answer 6

I think it has to do with the color of ur skin. People are too ignorant to even know other people's culture.

Answer 7

Arrogance, scare, laziness
