Do you think racism is still evident in the U.S? If not then why do they hate indians? If yes, why?

I do believe racism is still very evident in the u.s. People may not just come out and say it, but you can tell by actions and expressions. I don't know why people hate indians. People tend to fear things and people and cultures they don't understand, therefor causing them to hate than take the time to understand and embrace. Stereotypes tend to take a hold of everyone.

THIS EFFECTIVE SOURCE HAS MADE ME LEARN ALOT ABOUT INDIAN PEOPLE!

I'm not sure if its a pattern, but Its definitely NOT NEW. Every country back in the past 300 or so years had at least one immigration issue stemming from the difficulty of a few immigrants to assimilate, and unfortunately due to typical human insecurity and prejudice this expands into racism and hate. The Jews in Europe are one of the more famous cases of this (yes there was hate of jews even before but it expanded considerably in the last 200-300 years), The US also had it with Germans and Asians in the pre-World War I/II years. In the end though in most of the cases the affected countries end up surviving the so-called "invasion".\n\nIts the same today... a few scum Hispanics defy US culture, then certain "Americans" take this to mean ALL Hispanics defy the USA. In Europe some radical Muslims make trouble and this results into a general prejudice against Muslims. However since this is today (not 50 or even 200 years ago) and the circumstances are different with new ideas like multiculturalism (which ironically increases ethnocentrism in some quarters)... so no one really knows 100% what the outcome of these issues are.

Racism is alive and well in the usa. It used to be mainly one sided. However these days it is a multibillion dollar a year business that has made many millionaires as well as many a politicians careers. There are laws in place to curb racism. However the way they are often applied, is not balanced. I think we have learned precious little in 200+ years. Unfortunately there are plenty of people who are opportunists and/or hate mungers.

NO !! \nWhy is it not racist to hate my white neighbor for something?\nAnd yet I am racist for hating my black neighbor for the exact same thing.\nWe have played the race card so much , It has gotten to the point if we do not like any thing someone of another race does we are racist.

I would guess from many factors in your post, that you are a foreigner.\n\nIf you lived here, and knew the history of this country, you would know that while the legacy of racism is not entirely gone, it is nothing like what you describe.\n\nMany nations have had a violent or biased past and have done things they are not proud of.\n\nThe USA at least admits most of our mistakes and attempts to correct them through the democratic process.  If you don't understand that, then you have my pity.

Hating is ignorance, I don't think that anyone hates you because of your ethnicity/race or religion. America is a diverse country too. Some naive Americans may hate certain people and it is around all races hating on each other, not just everybody hating on Arabs. Just because of the acts of few of your people is all it takes for some Americans to draw a conclusion about your ENTIRE RACE and start to hate. IGNORANCE.\n\nI am sure, there is racism in your countries as well against Black Arabs, or the Filipinos or other Asians working/living there. No doubt.

The only racism i see is the blacks expecting special privleges over whites.  And that is very common.  When do you think this racism will end?

Yes unfortunately racism still exists towards every race whether it be Asian, Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, and everything else.\n\nPeople fear the unfamiliar.  Unfortunately our society has made seem "okay" to make excuses for hatred.  \n\nWhat I feel is most unfortunate is the fact that the people who are prejudice against others just because someone was prejudice against them for some reason or another.  People cannot seem to grasp the concept which we all learned (hopefully) as a child; two wrongs don't make a right.  Meaning being prejudge against one race because someone has been prejudge about your preference or race is not right.\n\nIn cases of homosexuality I believe it is the same way.  Back in the 80s there was a debate about bi-racial couples marrying and just being together and now it's just the same but two people of the same gender. It's sad but I hope like all other things it will pass.  There is too much hate in this world and I feel it is truly effecting our country as a whole.

A part of the reason is that American society still has racist messages and ideas floating around in it and showing up in the media (TV, magazines, the internet, etc).  Some of these things people don't even realize are racist.  Some members of racial/ethnic minority groups (African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans) internalize these racist ideas and use them against members of their own race or ethnicity who they believe are not "American" enough or not "ethnic" enough.  \n\nTo put it in simple terms, people start to believe racist messages from the media and from other people.  Sometimes without realizing it, people increase racism by being racist against others of their own race because of their ideas about what a "true American" should be like or what a "true African American (etc.)" should be like.

Yes Indians are racists and it is unfair to discriminate!There are thousands of castes ,sub castes which still exist in Indians today,according to which people are married. It does not mean that marriage of people with different castes is illegal or is forbidden. People show that they don't mind marriages of different-caste people. But I'd say one's parents have great courage, and educated and are really the ones who are needed to live in this world for allowing their children to marry different caste

Indians are racist against us white folks
1085942
Yes.  You see it wherever you go in the US.  Also there are places like Hayden Lake, Idaho where white supremest have an encampment.  Though we are getting better, racism will exist as long as people teach their children to be racists.

That is a good question.  Most of you are looking at it wrong.  Yes there are racist people all over.  He just asked about one group of people, white people.  In your opinion why are white people so racist?  In my opinion most of the racist white people I have met are that way because of history.  History teaches us that the white man or Caucasian or what ever they want to be called accomplished everything.  Even to the discover of America, but how can you discover something that was not lost.  The Indians where there to greet them.  If society stop asking about a person race it would be a step toward stopping racism.  What does the color of my skin have to do with the knowledge I have.  I don't like being called an African American, because what do you call a white person from Africa, they are African descent but now lives in America.

You are one of the few who are outspoken about this history which is awful for sure. But I think a lot of black and white women aren't knowledgeable or aware of it, so then what would cause the perceived hatred between them? Personally I haven't seen it, but I live in a small northern town. My guess would be that now that black people are finally getting educations and rising above the circumstances set against them from their history here in US that there seems to be a desire in black men to hunt out white women which can understandably aggravate black women who want to preserve something about their culture apart from the ecclectic mix of cultures that we enjoy here in the US.

Back to sqaure one, my oft repeated answer to such q's (apt, and anyway  it does get me two points) \n\nI wonder if the original native Americans (Red Injuns as you called em) had a say in the matter when the whites from across the ocean invaded their country and all but exterminated them.\n\nYou, dear person are also a descendant of immigrants yourself, I'm sure, as are most of the white and black American folks replying to you, unless you are of Native American descent (which I am sure you would not be proud to proclaim, if you were). Even the guys who came over on the Mayfair, they initiated the unjustness by being the harbingers of terror that culminated in the annihilation of native Americans\n\nI wonder when the Caucasian will ever get over the white 'massa' superiority complex?\n\n\nAmerica has been drawing people from all over the world, right from the days of it's discovery as a land with the fabled pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Give it some more time, you'll end up with an exodus of people, as is happening among the immigrants from India which is gaining from the Brain Gain as opposed to the earlier brain drain.\n\nI remember when my cousin migrated to the US in the seventies, people had similar complaints about the Indians.\n\nTh reverse is happening now, a number of western countries have their top people insisting on an India stint, and the Indians, well they wanna come back to their roots.\n\nSo this is gonna happen with the 'greasers' as you seem to allude to the people of Mexican descent in your polite, but hard hitting questions in the immigration section of Yahoo Answers!
