Default Re: Racism... Why? Are You Racist? Your Opinion Please.

I am totally not attracted to most white and Asian men, doesn't mean I wouldn't date them or treat them any differently - I'm just not attracted to their typical features. Someone's personal racial preference on partners doesn't mean they favor one race over another. However, saying "Well my boyfriend/friend/cousin is black, so I cannot possibly be racist" - that is racist in it of itself; claiming some type of bond with someone of a different race doesn't automatically erases you off the racist list.

LMAO sweetie there's no such thing as being racist sometime ... You're always racist.

I think people just go to far with the word racism. It's like if you say anything about another race ... You're racist?
I don't think every race is racist ... I think every race is prejudice and we all will continue to be unless we sit down and actually attempt to understand other racist.

Instead of white people telling black people to get over slavery. Try listening to us and our feelings about ... Why we still take it so serious, and our views on America.
And black people can sit and listen to white people and there views on it and their views on america today.
We can all sit and learn about each other black, white, Asian, Hispanic/Latino and mixed races and probably eliminate some stereotypes and ignorance.
People confuse the fact that we are all equal with meaning we are all the same, but we're not and probably never will be. So instead of trying to conform everyone to be one way. We should all just try excepting.

''Racism... Why? Are You Racist? Your Opinion Please. ''

The question 'Are you Racist' makes me giggle a bit I mean..
I would HATE to think someone would openly say they're racist although meez seems to be the place where racism is a hgue concern.

Not ALL white people are racist but the majority of where the hatred is coming from I have to admit is from that racial background.

I disagree with this COMPLETELY. I happen to know more black racists than white. Saying that mostly only white people are racist is racist in itself.

I couldn't "spot the racist" in that picture. It doesn't make sense. There's nothing racist-looking about either of the people in that picture. It's hard to look racist. If you have a racial slur on a t-shirt or offensive symbol tattooed on your arm, ok, but skin color or eye color doesn't make you racist. Their expressions are pretty funny, though.

That was the point.
And yes, their expressions are quite comical.

The black dude is like "WTF. GET THAT CAMERA OUTTA MY FACE." and the white dude is like "DAMMIT, FORGOT MY GLASSES. At least I look cool when I squint."

On another note, do you expect people with certain names to be a certain race? If so, do you think that's racist?

I sometimes expect people with certain names to look a certain way, and I don't consider it racist. If I was talking to a girl named Ingrid online, I'd assume that she's white. Why? Because that name very traditional German. If a girl was named something like Carmen, I'd expect her to be hispanic because it's a far more common name in hispanic culture than say, among Asians. But if a girl is named Alexandra, a name that seems to be popular among all races, I would just picture the Alexandra that I'm closest to out of habit.

That wouldn't be racism, that's just culture spotting.
