Like everyone can call us crackers and they aren't racist, but as soon as we call them beaner, n!gger, nip, or anything else we are the most racist people in the world?
or a mexican can wear a shirt that says brown pride and not be racist, but if i wore a shirt that said white pride i would be.
It just doesn't make sence to me

I think anyone can be considered racist to tell you the truth.

It's a double standard which I don't agree with, true enough;
however, as a whole..and this is speaking from a minority"s
point of view; Majorities have used their population, education, power and wealth to oppress, enslave, belittle
and exploit, use and abuse minorities to the point that after
not being allowed to have a voice, or even justice for all of the wrong suffered in the past which still continues today in this modern age and era..it just seems that it's merely payback for what is already long overdue.
This is not my ideology, by the way. I happen to believe that
there are racists in every race. And not only that; I also do not agree the it is right to practice vindictiveness. I don't believe that every Caucasian is racist, nor that they're personally responsible for slavery.
We can all stand to be a bit more tolerant of one another..
and not just stress out over the slightest inconveniences
and cultural differences.
Love, peace and happiness always.

never made any sense to me, either. I think it has to do with the fact that our society is full of a bunch of "gimmes" as I call them. Basically, they want the world to give them everything but at the same time don't want to give anything back and have a tendency to feel as if someone is discriminating if they don't get what they want when they want it.
But then again the Gimme crowd doesn't include just non-whites - it includes all races/genders/orientations/religions and, ironically enough, does not discriminate.
By the by, someone said that whites haven't suffered persecution but that's not entirely true. Different groups of white people have suffered massive persecution and demoralization (think of the Holocaust), so that's not entirely a valid argument there.

Everyone can be racist...Black.white and everyone...
It depends on the personality..
What's the difference between a black in the skin and a white..absolutely nothing!!
People need to grow up and stop making people feel sad for Bullsh!t..
I am from Greece and white and i love and respect everyone..black,white,blue,red,yellow,colourfull or whatever..
People need to learn looking on the personality..plain and simple..
We can all co exist if we want...and just to let you know i am in a world wide anti racist campaign from the age of 14 and i am now 18...
Racism kills Life...

It really doesn't make sense.
It may be because white people haven't gone through persecution for hundreds of years, and that they were the oppressors.
In my opinion, being minority does not waive you from being racist. If you are prejudice against a race of people, you are racist.

Anyone who calls someone a name based on race is an idiot, in my opinion. Maybe everyone should get more creative and call each other names based on actions. Like, Home Depot squatter, bling thug, crappy driver, etc.
For whites, hmmm, how about, uh, racist?

This is not an answer to your question but more of a response to "pig benis"
When the European slave trade started, the Africans were enslaving each other so you are incorrect in assuming white people started slavery.
Different African tribes would war with each other and the winner would take slaves from the losing tribes.

Two reasons...
Reason One: Double Standard
Reason Two: Political Correctness
I think the entire thing is one of the hands down stupidest parts of American Culture myself.
