Quick question....where in the question does she direct this question towards white people? All I see is her directing it towards racists, the answerers above me who got offended, maybe you have some subconscious things you need to clear up.

Katya who even mentioned that its only white people that are racist, the question said minorities Whites can ne minoriteees depending on where you live, if you lived in Africa or Jamaica for example then you would be the minority, but you still dont hear of as much racist attacks on Whites in the world in general mainly white on white, or white on Black. Black people tend to attack each other more than other races.
I wouldnt personally be bothered if a minority person was either of the above, why would I care I know who I am if it bothers me then that just means im jealous and insecure cause thats what Racism really is you dont like whats different cause it intimidates you, so the only way to feel good about yourself is to pretend theres something wrong with them.

That's a very good question, and something i have often wondered about. I meet alot of people at work who come from such varied backgrounds. And while i wouldn't calssify myself as someone who stereotypes, it is difficult to not 'judge' people on how they come across, in not just their appearance but also the way people speak, their mannerisms, common sense and knowledge.
And many times I have been proven wrong, and that makes me feel good, because it re- inforces the idea that it is eductaion, not power or money that shapes us as human beings regardless of who and where in the world you are
We shouldn't hate anyone, just for sake of hating because they are a minority group

Racism isn't just from whites directed towards minorities, in fact in the few days since I joined this website, the most racist person on here has a black avatar. Maybe you should be careful about slinging a stereotype at people.
EDIT: Yep, that sounds about right. Unless we agree with you, we must be a racist. OK, if that makes you feel better then whatever. I'll be sure to tell my Muslim Uzbek boyfriend that I'm a racist. He'll be interested to know that.

hate is illogical - it can not be reasoned with
edit: Katya makes a very good point. I've never acted racist towards anyone, but I've been the victim of racism many times, including getting attacked by several black guys just because I am white
edit: "when you see a minority" clearly implies that the person doing the seeing is in the majority, and therefore white (who are the majority in this country). You should have simply said something like "when you see a member of a group that you hate . . ." to be clear

I haven't met a minority that I hate. Besides, I don't buy into stereotypes. 2D

I am a racist, but I don't believe I should bother people nor hate people of different origins. The only thing I don't want is them to touch me or get close to me. As for them being happy, that's irrelevant. All I care about is that I'm happy. Jealous of another race, never. LoL, what a silly concept. Would I like to be another race, that's a yes.

None of those things bother me because I know that ever man and woman is just as capable if they're not held back by society.
