People are still racist. They may say they're not, but they're lying. Racism, sexism, anti-semitism, homophobia other prejudices take time and effort to eliminate. It seems like with every landmark achieved, we stop working on eliminating prejudice. But it's continuous, intergenerational struggle. \nIt's a mistake to think that racism should just magically disappear just because it's 2006. It takes work.

yes.  i believe everyone is racist, including me.  we live in a world that tells us since childbirth that dark people are bad.  if u are in a family of dark-complected people, chances are they tell u the opposite- that white people are evil.  society is setup this way, so I'm wary of anyone who says they have totally escaped this conditioning- don't trust them on that. \n\ni realize that i contain this bias and I'm always trying to improve it... rather than most people who deny they have any racism in themselves, and never try to improve it, since they won't admit they have a problem. \n\nit's a worldwide problem.  I'm American but a friend from India once told me that "anywhere i go, I'll catch hell" because of my dark skin.

Sweetie, people try to act like they're not racist but the truth is this nation is full of racist people, even though this nation here should be accepting of every race because of the diversity. The highest race that is being looked ugly upon is black and Hispanic. ONE day there'll be and end to it, until then YOU SHOULD TELL MANAGMENT. So what if they get mad at you, at least they'll know to respect you.

I agree with you 100%.  It makes us racist because throwing the race card is the easiest way for someone who has a differance of oppinion, to shut you up.  If you dissagree with someone of a different race, then calling you racist is the fastest way for them to win the argument whether they are right or not.  Because I am white, just agreeing with you makes me racist.  (even though my best friend is black and my girlfriend is asian)  the great american hipocracy.

I think that we are all racists - but some more than others. The main thing is to be aware of it, and try to work with it.\n\nI think the real problem humans have is with difference, because then we start making comparisons, and that's uncomfortable. Racism is another form of difference.\n\nAs a white european woman living in London, I try not to be racist, but I am aware of racist thoughts sometimes. And sometimes people are racist to me! (I have an Irish heritage) But I am trying to do my bit by bringing up my sons to be as aware as possible.

EVERYONE is racist in their own little way. Its basic human nature, some people just show it more openly than others. I know black people that are really racist. Racism is just a fact of life, sure it can be hurtful you just have to learn to ignore it.

Not all people think it's OK anyway.\nBut if you're against a certain group, you will feel that it's OK to be a racist against them and you will defend the other groups that you're not against.

I believe we are all inherently racist due to our evolutionary history.  Hominids are very tribal in nature; they make tools and attack other groups of hominids.  I do my best to treat everyone equally and as I would like to be treated because I don`t want to behave like our nearest relatives, the chimps.\nI believe if we are to progress as a species we must work hard to bury some of our baser instincts.

>>>Why is it when asking a question about Blacks, it is thought to be RACIST? \n\nBecause it almost inevitably is. Racism is simply an assumption that characteristics are caused by or correlated to race. Asking “Why do black people do X” IS inherently racist. It can’t be otherwise. There are certainly questions about blacks that aren’t; racist, but they are rare around here.\n\n>>>>>Is this question racist in nature?\n\n\nNo, because it doesn’t assume any characteristics are linked to race. For example you haven’t assumed that Black people will all answer the same way. Had you made such an assumption then it would be racist.
