When we find friends, typically most of our friends are are own race, if the population has enough of your racial group? Most of my friends are White but I don't choose my friends by race, and a lot of hispanics have mostly hispanics friends, blacks, etc.

People are the most comfortable with others that seem to be similar to themselves.  It IS just human nature

they were just chosen. if race is such a menial issue then why did it matter what race they were? i tell you what would have been racist, if they had chosen the children, seen that they were all white and then gone out of their way to find a black/asian/hispanic child. tokenism should be discouraged.

People who mistreat hispanics or hispanics who don't like whites are both racists. We should not have likes/dislikes towards other people because of their nationality/race. I know some people in USA mistreat hispanics because they think they are better than them, citizens of a richer country. It's just not right. Due to this mistreat, hispanics tend to dislike whites. I think this should stoop. After all, we are all humans.

just my preference,I do have friends of many different races but it doesn't mean i would have a relationship with them.

I have yet to find one race that excepts everyone no matter what color they are. I've had racial slang thrown at me by Hispanics, and Blacks. Racism isn't just practiced by white people.

If two people can find each other and connect, that's what really matters.  I always tell my kids, I'd rather have them be with someone of a different race they love that loves them and treats them well, than someone of the same race that doesn't.  Love doesn't know color.

Diverse means different. It's not just race. Its has to do more with a diversity of cultures, that is traditions, customs, behaviors, language, religion and even gender and sexual preferences. All this comes into play when we see what makes us different from someone else.

there are quite a few on here i suppose but the vast majority of whites are not racist.  don't let the few give all of us a bad name or they have won their little game.  Personally i generally skip over racist questions, so i would think alot of people do and therefore you would never hear from us.  maybe its time to get alittle more involved.

Well, you shouln't make the situation so general as in asians are the only ones who go through the situation.  I am from a tropical island (I'm hispanic) and I'm white, blonde and have blue eyes. Whenever I hang out with "white" people I get asked the same question.  And nobody believes me that I'm hispanic, and yes it's very annoying.\n\nAnswer:  A lot of people of different race/ cultures go through the same thing, why? Because a lot of society is very ignorant and feel most comfortable when they categorize things/people and situations.  Being different is at times scary/ uncomfortable for others.  Ignorance.

We are all Americans, all of us, and to imply that one color of people should only stick to one color is discrimination.  Which is kinda ironic considering that most of the people who stick to one race color are the same people who whine about everyone else being racist.  We are one people, at the DNA level we're all human and skin color shouldn't really matter much.  This sorta devision is what keeps racism a issue, because if people can't relate to each other they are going to dislike or be suspicious of each other.  Frankly, the sooner we realize that the only race that matters is the human race, the better.

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?

I am a white woman in a relationship with a black man and we have talked about race many times before. Its not only whites that act like that. Alot of different races black, white, spanish, all races have some bad seeds. Narrow minded people like to put blacks in their own catagory when it comes to stuff like this but really think about it, all races have their own thing. Black people dont like white people and vice versa. Hate will always exist, its just up to you if you recognize it. Me personally, I dont feel that it is just one race doing harm, its all the people of the world coming together in hate that makes its stay. Black people are beautiful to me as all other races. If you look at a person and see their race before you see a person then you are probably one of the people I am talking about.  If you wanna talk about people living in the ghetto why dont you go to the ghetto and see how i really is not having food to eat or being a child yourself having to take care of siblings because your parents split, or having to share a bed with 2 other people, its hard and alot of these people black white or mexican go thru it everyday. Like I said people will always judge no matter what, and others answering this have said blacks dominate sports, well good observation because they just about do, so you mean to tell me that if a team is predominatley black you no longer like the sport? If you answer yes then you were never a fan.I could go back and forth with this all day so I guess its no point because ignorance will never die and people will always throw the race card out there when they get a chance.

I'm African American.  And there are racists within my race.  There are also racists within the Caucasian race.  Also, Oriental and Latino.  I guess squeaky wheels get the grease.  Most of us that are not racist, of all colors and all races, are too busy living our lives and having fun with the different people of these races; mingling with them and living in peace.  While every waking day of these poor peoples' lives, they spend trying to find ways to hurt or make us guys feel bad or inferior.  Could you imagine, long ago, being a woman and not being able to vote?  i.e., Knowing damn well you're much smarter than the jerk off drunk idiot councilman who you work for.  This is the control of racism.  Luckily, women, African-Americans, some poor whites and Asians have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and continuously fight to make it right.  And just remember, they wake up being racists.  We (non-racists) wake up accepting everyone until they give us a reason not to.\nGod Bless You All

Where are you getting you information to be sure that this is true? Unless you interviewed and surveyed each and every Black man, White man,  and women of all races on that subject and got those answers that you are posting,  you are just generalizing what you see around you not actual fact. I live in New York and see quite the opposite of what you have seen. I have seen people all of different races going out with and married to Black men. I have a friend who name is Arthur that is married to a Japanese woman and a friend who passed recently, that was married to a Chinese woman and they have a son together. As far as Black men and Hispanic/ Latin women, I have seen plenty of my Black male friends married or  engaged to Latinas that  they have children with. I am wondering what area do you live at because where I live, it is really diverse and that is my truth.

Yes....and white includes too many cultures...but we are all lumped into one...because we have a lighter skin tone than other races.

the same way other races have. we work, we go to school, we gradueate, and we live our lives just like everyone else, yet we are the most targeted because some of our race doesnt make the best decisions, but we as a whole always get stereotyped, but most of us are just like everyone else pushing through life
