Why is it that mexican and black people say stuff to white people and they aren't called racists, but a white person will say one bad thing and we are labeled racists? this is how it is at my school and it makes me mad. For example one girl said "no offence, but i can't understand why people think any white boys are cute" and no one said any thing    ( me becuase i didn't feel like getting beat up..) if i said "no offence but i don't see how mexican/black guys are cute" i would get beat up...and a mexican boy used to make fun of me for being part german and people tell me he is jst joking (he didn't sound like it) but if i said anything about him being mexican, they would cry racist!! people say whites are racist, then they turn aroud and say all white people are completly ignorant. that just doesn't seem right to me...

While this situation has happened to me multiple times, you must realize to let it go; there are always certain people in different ethnicity's that are jerks about race matters. And anyway, people are hypocritical about everything, as  such is a mere reflection of their parents. \nI went to a school that had (literally) five African Americans and three white people, including myself, while the rest were Hispanics; by certain people, I was called a Nazi and chastised for having "Aryan looks", which was really upsetting to me because I have never considered myself to act in such a way, or hold those ideals. \nThen again, there were those who were indifferent and didn't see that way. \nThere are so many different instances where this same idea applies, and everyone is guilty at some point or another.

I think there are very few who are racist example KKK and other hate groups.  But I think majority of the people stereotype.  Just because a person made a comment that Mexicans eat beans does not make them a racist (although perceived by many as being one).  That is stereotyping though.  I believe that we all stereotype based on our experiences and observation towards other race.  And lets face it if there's smoke there's fire...therefore there are some truth to every stereotype.  People are just too defensive and in denial of the truth.  Coz truth hurts.

Are you hispanic or Mexican-American? What color is your skin. Besides that what is your problem? Why do you talk like you are better than illegal aliens and even better than white people in the USA.You urinate and defecate just like anybody else. Stop putting out the bullshit you put out about illegal aliens.

I'm White and I don't think so.I like the channel.If you look on tv these days that's all you see is us.Hispanics have their own channel and it doesn't bother me.On another note anybody can be racist,but you have to tell the truth when it comes to us because we are often the perpetrators of hate.I mean look at some of the answers you are already getting,you have ignorant people spouting off at the mouth.You say your not "racist" but I think you might need to check yourself.I'm proud of myself and I don't need to put down Black or any other ethnic people to make myself feel better about me!

I've seen whites call each other the c-word, but I don't call white people that word. That's up to them. Yep, whites reserve the right to use that word and all though by definition it cannot be used derogatorily towards a white person, I will continue NOT to use it towards white people. It's just out of respect and common decency to just let it be.\n\nI wish white people will look at the n-word in the same light as I do, because if we start nitpicking we're going to start getting into freedom of speech issues. \n\nBlacks and other subcultures of the United States (i.e., Italians, Latinos, Irish, Polish) also reserve the right to use their respective racial epithets within their respective groups. \n\nNow if everyone agrees to accept this and not use racial epithets against other groups of people we will all be able to move on with our lives peaceably.\n\nI have a sub-question and I hope you can answer it:\nWhy are whites offended by blacks using the n-word amongst themselves? \n(A) Is it a "I don't want to hear it used in public"-thing? \nOr\n(B) Is it a "I feel that if they can use it amongst each other, I should be able to use it towards them, too"-thing?\n\nIf it's B, tough noogies, no one black person in their right mind is going to co-sign that BS.\n\nGood day!

Well, I have been discrminiated against and racially profiled. I am a militray wife and been just about every where and because of my fair skin I have been assumed to be Everything but, black. Because they say I "sound" white. Many people are under the assumption that all black people are "brown skinned". NOT TRUE. we come in different shades. I am mixed with Seminole Indian, African American, German and Irish. Despite of my many mixed nationalities I am abdominatly "Black". But, it's ashame to see that people still use the "N" word even within the black community. But, as soon as a person of a different race says it, it's offending. So, why call eachother that. It is a sticky discussion and can go on for years to come.

We have come to the point where it is considered improper or not politically correct to say certain things about certain racial or ethnic groups or even to refer to them in some specific terms. One of my pet peeves is the label "anti-semetic" that is attached to anyone who has the AUDACITY to say anything derogatory about Jews.  The implication is that somehow "anti-semitism" is bad, which to me is utter nonsense.  Why is it that it is not proper to say anything bad about a Jew? Why can we only think good things about Jews or else risk being labeled "anti-semitic" as though anti-semitism is some sort of a crime? It is all so ridiculous. If you make a statement such as "The percentage of Black males in prisons is 10 times the percentage of white males in prisons" there are people who will all fluff up into some overblown righteous indignation and say 'Oh, no no no no no you can't say that! That's RACIST"  Well, duh duh duh duhduh if it is based on fact it is fact, so where does racism come into it? Things have really spun out of control with all this nonsense.  Recently there was a whole big uproar (an obscure uproar, but an uproar nonetheless) over the fact that there are something like 500 little streams, brooks and creeks in the US named "Nig.ger Creek" or whatever.  Most of these names dated way back to the time when the use of such terminology wasn't even a dergoatory term.  Nowadays, if you say just about anything about anything, some self-righteous idiot will jump up and complain that is it racist.\n\nFrankly, I don't give a damn. And I don't think there is ANYTHING wrong at all with being a so-called 'anti-semite'.  It's my right, so there.

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 hear you but "they" wouldn't understand what you're trying to say...maybe because "they" are in denial or simply using the "everyone is an immigrant" to justify their criminal acts.\n\nP.S. i noticed you said the words "illegal mexicans" good your voicing out your opinion just like those ILLEGAL MEXICANS AND THEIR SUPPORTERS!\n\ngirlfriend no matter what you say about mexicans whether good or bad...they'll accuse you of being a racist.

Actually, I don't think anybody should be using ANY of those words.  Why should anybody be derogatory about ANY race?  What's the point of that?  People are people, dear. I say ban them all!  (I've never even heard of some of those words!)

no one should say it, it's derogatory, but we get more when a white person says it than a black person because of the history behind the word. it was used to humiliate and honestly it still does. I don't use it and I get pissed when anyone calls me that.

your right people take offense to those words but depends who you tell them to.I personally take offense when someone calls me "honey,baby,sweety" because it just bugs me.yet i call my bf gringo and redneck all the time and he laughs it off.i guess some people are more sensitive than others.and your right people have a right to defend their way of life and family but think it goes both ways.people against illegal immigration feel they are defending their way of life and family,while those who are in favor of illegal immigration also feel they are defending their way of life and family.though it always bugs me whenever both sides pull out the race card.I would think in this time and age when so many people are mixed that not many people would pull out that card or that it would loose any real push behind it,but guess I am wrong.white no longer should be associated with middle aged rich guys because there are people who are latino and european who are also white complected.both sides need to just put the race card in a little box and bury it somewhere and just deal with this issue without the name calling or childish bickering.

Good question, I noticed you said "some" white folks, thanks for specifing that. Not all us white people are a$$holes. I am sorry one of my "white" counterparts has done this to you or someone you know. It may stem from the INDIVIDUALS insecureness. However, I have been outcasted because I am white, and I haven't done anything wrong to anyone. Hell, I am married to someone of a different race, so why do black,brown,yellow,orange,red,green and or purple people instantley label all white people as racist slave owning hillbilly trailer trash? Same reason whites do it to other races, all races are racist, try this out, live in a homogenious (one race) country like I do, and then you will know what true racism is.

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.

You know what?  I hear this all the time with different ethnic groups complaining that some other race does not like them.  Give me a break.  You know what, some people are just feeling sorry for themselves or they are passing the blame of something onto another, like a different race.  I am latino and I don't feel that way.  Alot of my friends are latino and they don't feel that way either.  I have many other friends who are white, black and arab and asian.  We have better things to do and think about than another race is being prejudice toward us.  Those people who think that way need to take a closer look and figure out why they feel that way.  They need to put the blame on themselves.

I'm so sick of people assuming that, because I am anti-ILLEGAL immigration, that I'm racist and anti-Mexican. First of all, I'm not racist against anyone and second of all, like many people in my position, I'm against ILLEGAL immigrants from ANY country, not just Mexico. Anyone who comes to this country (no matter their country of origin) without following the legal channels is breaking the law...it's that simple. It's easy for those illegal immigrants to claim racism because it diffuses the attention away from the real problem...which is the fact that they're breaking the law everyday that they stay in our country without obtaining proper LEGAL documentation. \n\nSince when is it a bad thing to expect the citizens of this country to be law-abiding?

You are absolutely right.  I am white and my girlfriend is black.  theoretically I couldn't be a racist. I don't feel like I am and no one says I am but I still find myself thinking racial epithits in my head toward low class blacks and hispanics.  When I say low class I mean drunk bums on the street and gangsters.  When I see a person that is white in a similar circumstance I just think loser unstead of attaching the racial slur in front.  Why do I do this? There are good and bad in everything in everything.  Race should never be a part of anything. Does this help?
