If you live in a predominantly white neighborhood in America, then there is probably some racism going on. Don't worry about it's not your fault. Racism is taught by parents to children at any early age. Also, we learn it from others, the media and history. If you leave two children of different races to grow up in the same loving enviroment where racism is not taught then they will grow up loving each other without racism in their lives. And if you told them about racism they probably would not understand it unless you used an analogy or example of what racism might be to them. So try to put a quantative number on what you just read, then you will have gathered a statistic. You may find some statistics at the sources listed.

No. Racism would be if you hate anyone from a particular race of people or if you hate all races except for your own. Racism is based on race-based-hate not on hate in and of itself.

Read up on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the forced integration of southern schools in the sixties, the Emancipation Proclamation, the abolishment of "Jim Crow" laws, and 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution.  The Federal Government can, has, and does do things to stop racism and limit the abilities of racists to oppress others.  You can find all of this information at\n\nhttp://www.wikipedia.org

First of all let's be clear--the vast majority of people who talk of racism the most generally don't even understand what racism is.  By definition racism consists of one of three things:\n\n1.  Taking a specific example and applying it to all people of a particular race (a driver is cut off by a white driver and from then on claims that ALL whites are impolite or unware drivers.)\n\n2.  Assigning similar traits to ALL people of a particular race (all blacks enjoy basketball, all Asians are good at math, all whites marry their relatives, all Mexicans are lazy and inherently uneducated, etc...)\n\n3.  Placing the various races on tiers of some sore (the smartest race is _____, the best athletes are always _____, the dumbest race has to be ____)\n\nIf your attitudes or opinsion do not fall into this category they are not racist opinions or attitudes.  For example if one were to say, "The vast majory of crimes committed in America are commited by non-whites," that is NOT a racist statement, because it is a proven fact that can be verified with statistical information.  If one were to say, "A lot of whites are intolerrant of non-whites," that is a true statement, because they do not say, "ALL" whites, they simply state that a lot are--which is true.  There are many statements that uneducated and poorly read people claim are racist which in realilty are not racist at all.  Simply because someone says something about your race that makes you angry, does NOT make that statement racist in nature.  To say that most Asians are good students is a correct statement--the drop-out rate among Asians is the lowest in the United States.  Inversely, to say that Hispanics are the lest educated group in the United States is also correct--Hispanics drop out of school at a MUCH higher rate than any other race.  Because that statistics makes someone angry does NOT make it untrue or racist.\n\nSo in answer to your questions--I think that virtually everyone has some racist notions to one degree or another.  Those who claim to be totally unracist probably don't understand what racism really is.  Being a professional teacher for 20 years I have found more EXCEPTIONS to racial stereotypes than examples of racial stereotypes.

I haven't made a study of it nor looked up any, but if it were a factor, investigators/statisticians would look for a statistically significant difference in the rates at which people of different races are sentenced to death in capital punishment cases.  I believe such studies do exist that indicate such bias, though I haven't seen them myself - but they do get covered in the papers when they are released.\n\nYou sound skeptical.  I'd be curious to know why.

no matta how far we have advanced as a people racism still exists. Our forefathers have cushioned it for us a little  though and we have it a few ways better than our grandfather or grandmother or even our ancestors have had it. but it still exisits. racism now has taken on a few new forms though. experts have argued orgin of where racism began. Some say it was taught through parents. others would say racism is learned. but where ever racism has come from it still exisits. People just hate each other for a reason or we sterotype each other and judge each other and make assumptions that keep us from trusting or talking to differnet race. My father argues its only white and black in the world no asian no japenses no irish no french no nothing it is just black and white. I believe different. I have nothing against no one or no race if i dislike a person it is because i cant stand them not b/c of how they look

I'm assuming you mean statistics if so here's a few links\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/spot/stpatsday1.html\nhttp://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/facts_for_features/001687.html

Yes, unfortunately there is.  As long as one race thinks that they are superior over another there will be. Now mind you, the term "racism" gets often confused with the terms "generalizations" and "stereotypes".  Believe it or not, if someone were to say that "all Asians are smart," or that "all low-income people smoke," those are not examples of racism.  Remember, racism is when a race thinks that they are better than another race.  Racism will exist as long as we have groups that spread hate like the KKK or the Neo-Nazis.

Racism is the belief that one race is superior to another. Discrimination is an action based on one's racist beliefs. Prejudice is a preconceived notion held about another race. I'm sorry you are being affected adversely because you are different. I share your pain and anger. The best you can do is to rise above the ignorance and culture, educate yourself, and set the example for others to follow.

what type of statistics?

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.
