make sweeping generalisations? Stuff like 'all women love shopping' (they dont),'all men are bastards' (they're not) or even 'black people are better at sport' (a racist statement if ever i heard one!).

People are lazy, it takes a lot less effort to make generalizations then to actually think about specifics.

hmmm, that is a little bit of an over-generalization, don't you think?

Honest to God, my head is just spinning after reading some of the bull roar some of you women are answering with.\n\nTo the person asking the question: Read what most the zany women are saying and pack it away in your brain.\n\nThey are rationalizing with excuses and not claiming responsibility for their actions. Pure and simple.\n\nWhen the shoe is on the other foot they scream it out loud and clear when a man cheats, how terrible and nasty it is.\n\nThis my young man is known as a typical double-standard that MANY women base their thought-processing skills on: Being irrational while judging others and complete hypocrites.

racism is wrong no matter where it comes from. Blacks can be just as racist as whites. You would think that those who have endured racism  would understand, but they don't. Not all blacks are racist, just like not all whites are. Some black women get all bent out of shape when black men date white women. They come out and openly state it. If the revers were true, it would be socially unacceptable for a white woman to complain publicly about it. Anyway, it's the yr2006, I wish racism would go away once and for all.

I KNOW IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!\nBut I've been learning to ignore these people. If they catorgorize someone negatively and falsely by their race, they are RACIST. IF they catorgorize someone negatively and falsely by their sex, they are SEXIST. If they catorgorize someone by thier religion, belief, or nonbelief, they are FAITHIST. People need to be way less stuck up in thier own head and stop attacking people they do not understand... thank you, finally someone seeing this. I hope you are never hurt by what idiots say. We have to remember they are like children or worse, and only see things their way, are very judgemental, and still have yet to learn from it, no matter how old they are.

You are stating a classic case of, "Damnned if you do and damnned if you don't." It's a type of bigotry. What's so terrible is it emotionally bullys you till you seek relief by going against what you really believe in. What you say for yourself is just as and more than inportant than everybody and their opinion. Somebody is always going to say something, no matter what you do. Women are like a private garden, where not just anybody should be able to come in and plant and pluck. Men carry seed, and when seed is scattered here and there and to the wind, we get wayward children. I say, "GROW UP AMERICA".

Anytime that you make an assumption about a group as a whole by the choices of a select few, you are generalizing. I am black and I hate basketball, Nascar aand especially Sushi. Celebration of diversity comes when you realize that people are different because of thier culture and not the same because of it. Good question. Not offended at all

Okay...im black as you can tell. eh..hemm. But I think there is alot of pre judging out there. Very ignorant statements like teh one by SLICK 77 is it? Shows that there is still racism out there.  The fact is there are tendancies in all races  but to say that that is  the only color to do them is absurd. I find most racists are people who either havent grown up around other races or have grown up around them and got hurt by the situations. You also have teh ones who havent amounted to to much in society's eyes and they turn to the opposite race and say things that you would think hmmm....."are they looking in the mirror". I am married to a white man......and we both still have some pre judgements about each other "alil bit". but we have 3 bi racial childen been together 10 years met at a amusement  park (working there) He grew up in a mostly white town about 10.000 people(has used teh word nigger) when his girlfriend was liking a black guy(so again there is teh hater situation) hate can really bring the racism out in you. Think about it. Its a coping mechanism. a BIG FAT EXCUSE to make your self feel better. Because other wise you would have to say 'Oh..i am NOT smart of enough..or cute enough.....or have a good job....or enough money..I could go on and on. This subject is soooo complex. I know the struggle that blacks have went thru but SOME HOODRATS and REDNECKS/HILLBILLIES need to look at it how it is.  Take responsibility for YOUR own actions.My husband and i have grown over years he has never called me a nigger . if he heard that now he would whoop up on somebody Sooooooo... to answer your question yes its still here but I believe its all from ignorance and people can grow out of it and from it. we both never thought of being with each other but ...we met at work and it grew from there................racists=HURT PEOPLE......WHEW!

I agree with you that it does occur, though I feel people too often cry discrimination just so they can get something out of it, not necessarily because it truly occurred.  Sorry if that's not really an opposing argument, but perhaps it will add another angle to your paper?

Dude don't get me started again - I;ve only just recovered from my rant the other day !\n\nI quote "Great Britain is no longer a GREAT country, We cannot say anything without being called RACIST!!!!!!!!"\n\nThat's why - every time we do stand up for our selves (the select few with the balls - hats off Mr. N Griffin) we get branded racist biggots.\n\nWe try and try and try but it on;y ever gets covered in the media as a race hate crime !\n\nRead the Turner Diarys !\n\nIt is all going to kick off here sometime in the not too distant future you mark my words.\n\nPreston - Oldham - Bradford - Leeds - Burnley -- this was only the start of things to come back in 2001.\n\nIt will kick off - people will turn around and say " FCUK IT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"\n\nThe BNP are winning more and more seats every year because they are the only party that will stand for traditional BRITISH values !

I think it's wrong to generalize about an entire group.  However, I hear where you are coming from with people being too pushy when it comes to their religion, politics, whatever it may be.  Like any other religious group there are going to be fanatics and those individuals that try to push their views on you.  It's unfortunate that some people make others want to stay away.  I thought like you a while back, but then I came to realize that it's not Christians as a group, it is people that use religious texts to fit what they believe.  People that use their own interpretations and then attempt to preach them to everyone.  Again though, it's unfair to generalize.

i agree, not every comment is meant to be racist,its simply the facts,people are so super sensitive nowadays

The whole world needs to lighten up & stop taking life so seriously, racism isn't in & word or a phrase, it's in the meaning, & if someone is being racist then turn around & ignore them. Like all bullying they can't continue if they have nothing to push against. Maybe if we all lessened our egos a little it would help, cause noone is perfect not even ourselves.

S.N.A.G's \n\nSeriously though, men who walk around knowing what fabric softner to use to wash his balls with is a fucking gaymo.\n\nSensitive New Age Guys.\nThat's how the catchphrase goes.\n\nMen are suppost to eat steak, grab their woman's tits at any moment of where they wear no bra and slap their semi-erect penis's against them at any given chance.\n\nNOT bend over, drop their pants and hand them over to the fangita with legs.\n\nSensitive new age bla bla bullshit. Real men only have one thing in mind.\nBeer.\nI was thinking, isn't it sex?\nNo. Beer leads to all things holy, sex, football, happiness.\nFor the majority of us, we wouldn't get laid if the females weren't fitshased.\n\nOkay back to the topic. Men who like to wear pink shirts, wear their collars puffed up and dye a blonde strip in the middle of their head.\n\nYOUR ALL FUCKING HOMO!\n\nI had a logical biased debate but I got too shitfaced.

Can't help but generalise from what I've seen, but. . .they seem self-obsessed, uptight, rude & obnoxious!!!!!!!!!\n\nWanna prove otherwise?!?!?! *lol*(",)

You can't make harsh generalizations like that.  believe it or not there are plenty of intelligent and loyal cheerleaders out there.  I used to have the same point of view as you but it just isn't true

I have asked the same question a few times already but I get no reasonable answer for it. It is just like saying that all white people are racist... its not all of them, but most of them... wouldn't it be a good example if they are going by majority? Watch me get thumbs down for this answer. Like I have said before, they can't take the HEAT and refuse to recieve exactly what they give. IMO.
