why are people racis to others it is not right to discriminate?

We are all racists in one way or another.  No matter what you or anyone else says.  Everyone is profiled by others and we all do it.  You see a fat person and you treat that person different then another, a whore that stand on the corner, the bum in the park, the Jew, the black man, the white man.  There has always been racism and always will.  It is a part of our inperfect nature.

Everyone has rights. Just because a black person killed someone doesn't make everyone thats black a hypocrit.  Its because of these comments that some black people may feel discriminated against.

Categorizing people by their heritage or race is not racist. There is a right way and a wrong way to refer to ones race. Common sense should tell you the difference between a racial slur as opposed to a description.

Well, now days anything can happen if you say the wrong thing and offend somebody. But I agree. Where did the rights of freedom of speech go? And I always wondered why we have to allow blacks into our colleges, but they can dissallow whites into theirs. Isn't that racist? So it's okay for them to be but we can't? Other nationalities have different cultures, therefore we get into different negative situations. If we have to allow for their differences,they shouldn't take advantage of it. They should in the first place realize they came from their country to the United States. They need to follow our country rules, they are not here to start their own country in the middle of ours.

That's a very good question. There are plenty of blacks and other minorities who discriminate against whites. I have actually seen workplaces in which there were black supervisors and mostly black employees. The racism is obvious, but no one bothers to address it.

it seems like we can't do that b/c people feel discriminated against if they are in a minority...employers & organizations have to have 'proof' that they don't

Because people (both men and woman) are bigots.

People are often afraid of what they do not know or understand.  Fear is a big factor for almost all bigotry.

Any one who thinks whites don't get discriminated against is VERY VERY ignorant! Any white person who has grown up as a minority in there area has felt discrimination as bad as any one else. The truth is that discrimination happens to all races. Just because we (yes, I'm white) are the (slowly declining) majority, minorities think that it's just a free ride or something. I get really tired of hearing all the sob stories about how "your ancestors" did this to "my ancestors". I personally haven't lynched, enslaved, stolen land from, or denied anyone, and if discrimination is going to get any better, all races need to focus on ways to better future instead of holding on to the grudges of a bunch of dead guys. The past is the past....I intend on moving forward!

I don't offend.  It's a free country.  People can say whatever they want to say and think whatever they want to think. Something can only be offensive if one doesn't allow for other people's thought and feelings and fervently believes that any view other than their own is wrong and therefore is offensive.

Because they can get away with it. Not all back people are racist. I have black friends and they're not. But this site is a prime example, You make a valid point and a load of brainless so called do gooders get on your case and start abusing you. And you'll notice they are all white, the black and coloured people who've answered you have mostly given you a constructive answer. The ones who haven't are the true racists because they are wrapping people in cotton wool just because they're a different colour, and not treating them as equal human beings. And the black people who have given you a stupid answer, like the ones who call you racist, are a result of living in this so called PC society. It like there are saying "hang on, you can't called a wrong doer if he's black, it's just not done"

Its always been like this. People are uneducated therefore anything new or different to them is frightening and instead of maybe trying to learn from it  they are scared and automatically shut it out  and discriminate against it. It is so awful but everyone does it in some way. It could be blacks and whites,fat people and skinny people, chinese and american, country music and rap music.Its such a broad subject and it will never change. People like you and myself can find comfort in knowing we to the best of our ability do not discriminate against anyone for the way they choose to live their life. If more people could be like that alot could change in this world but i don't see that happening. The human race has a better chance of becoming extinct from man killing man because of hate.

Becuase that is insulting, and rude, Thats like walking up to a person of another race and using "hate" words to them, like racial slurs etc. its the same concept. It offends them. And maybe they aren't completely out of the closet, and have only told a few people, and you calling them gay is sending a signal, to them that they can nont trust you.

It's only fair because minorities are the majority. I believe u are the only one that's offended that's if u are a middle-class white person. Love thy neighbor as thyself.

i think discrimination is very wrong like with the racial issues (black and white, etc.) because i believe every race has at least some people that are racist and i believe discrimation of the sexes are horrible when women man hate or men women hate its wrong and the fact that you cant get a job because of this fact is horrible in any situation and the fact that people make blonde jokes or fat jokes or nationality jokes or "retard" jokes is wrong what are we teaching our children that it is ok not to like someone that isnt like you...i mean we all bleed dont we, we all have the same organic structure what should it matter if we are different and those people that think i am wrong need to go take a good look in the mirror because you are no better than anyone else

There are no "Barriers" that constitute discrimination. We live in America because we have a right to have our individual liberties to do w/ at will. I do not know of anyone that has been deprived of the right to be anyone & or anything that they choose to be. If there where more Millionaries then Poor people, then there should be no need for poor people.

There should be no oppression in society, thats whay there is legislation.  The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 outlines  that it is unlawful. You can sue if you can prove opression is taking place.
