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.

This is one of those I'll answer, hoping it's an honest question and not a goofy rant.\nWhite people can be discriminated against and it happens all the time, but can't be discriminated against in modern America for racial reasons.\nDiscrimination is NOT disliking another race...\nIt isn't even behaving badly toward those of another race...\nDiscrimination in modern America is institutionalized and has a component of POWER.  History has given whites a 'power' advantage over blacks in this country.  Whether we (as whites) choose to use that advantage or not, IT CONTINUES TO WORK TOWARD OUR FAVOR and gives us institutional and cultural edges.\nDiscrimination is the combination of the racial bias with the use (purposeful or inadvertent) of that cultural power.  Because whites HAVE that cultural power edge, they can't be discriminated AGAINST.\nWhat is frequently referred to as 'reverse discrimination' is -- if we're honest with ourselves -- sour grapes when someone else gets a break that we wish we'd gotten, whether we deserved it or not.\nNo, whites can't be racially discriminated against in modern America.

Yes, because some of the old white people are the ones that taught the younger ones that the way we treated others in this country was horse****. A lot of them are racist by greater and lesser degree by rote, but  some of them are cool. I am sorry you have yet to encounter them. Then again, I can't blame you for not wanting to put your hand in a hornets nest just to see which ones don't bite. But of course judging by group always has it's evils.

Come on....... I consider every one to be equalls.  You are the one dogging on other races.  That is one thing that gets to me.  How come certain races always imply their is racism?  And want special privileges.  All people have the right to work and to earn respect from others.  Don't expect handouts.    We all started from one race... then the fall of man.  We all need to take care of ourselves.

Seeing as how you decided to use Yahoo Answers as a forum, allow me a moment to retort. \n\nIt seems that you are a bit confused....and I understand; you feel passionately about your point of view. I hope that you know that the people you've described here I'm sure can counter every single proclamation you've made, but will it help foster and facilitate a conversation that helps us all learn to understand each other? \n\nWill it help you to see and appreciate the many differences between our cultures that make us all ultimately the part of ONE HUMAN RACE? \n\nI hope so. I don't feel that only whites can be racists. That would be like saying that only white people are rich or educated. Its a blanket statement and its fear and ignorance that divides us. \n\nAt our core, we are all the same. We want to be safe and happy and live in a safe , thriving environment and wants the best for our families, friends, and loved ones. \n\nI appreciate you putting this question out here after all. Hopefully it would foster a conversation- the first step in understanding each other.

i don't see anything wrong in disagreeing with it as long as one doesn't impose his/her views on others. i am one of those people who disagree with interracial relationships due to the fact that i want to preserve the beauty of uniqueness, also, i see interracial relationships as a threat to different culture of each race.

lack of understanding. \ntoo many people walk this life and don't see that there are more ways to be than white, straight, married, etc...\nbeing that i am all three of those and I still hold people to their personalities not there preferences, maybe more people should try to show some compassion instead of confusion and ignorance.\nto all "haters" judge yourselves before you judge others.

Some guys will show tolerance and respect for who you are. Others might think of you in a disgusting way. But with other races, you get to respect each other for who you are as you're both different types of people and can show happiness towards each other that is difficult when you're with people who are of the same race as you.

in the past white people have had the edge regardless of their qualifications.  now, however, white people who may be more qualified than their minority competition may be losing out.  it happens and anyone who says it doesnt is wrong.  things should be equal and the government should stop overcompensating for the past.

You have a good point.  And I totally understand if maybe you don't want to have children with a white man.  I have heard that kids with mixed races have a harder time in society than that of one race.  I don't know if thats true or not, but Either way, its your choice and your life and none of their business.

Any person who thinks that an entire group of people can be judged by the action of the few they know or heard about, is technically INSANE. \n\nSo, that explains why they feel just fine about it...... after all, they are wondering how others can sleep at night by allowing the "races" to intermix in marriage and the like. But did they forget that we are all ONE race - the HUMAN RACE, descendants of Adam & Eve. \n\nInsecure people often find the need to pump themselves up by putting others down. And putting down a whole class of people due to some, is just plain ignorant and so illogical that it's crazy.

Sounds like you hate white people to me.  . Every race on earth has its share of good and bad. I am white and I didn't have my first child until I was 32 so that blows your theory

You can't talk so generally like that. EVERYONE is different. A person that has something against a race DOESN'T want to be like them, and a person that wants to be like them DOESN'T have anything against them. So don't generalize. Accept each and every person as one individual.

I am white and prefer white men. I wouldn't say there's any body part I prefer on someone of another race.
