People have negative feelings towards things they don't understand.  A little eductaion may be all these 'people' need.  But than some people are just stuck in their old racist ways.

Calling us racist just because we are against illegal aliens being in our country is completely absurd.  If they don't like us they really should consider going back across the border where they truly belong. Americans shouldn't have to change to make them happy, or feel welcome.  It's not our responsibility.  THEY aren't our responsibility.

racism is taught by other racists--it is a learned behavior which is often passed down through many generations of other racists. People close their minds to the differences in people,their society and cultures. Somebody will hear a statement like,"all the Mexicans are taking away American jobs", and without questioning,will take the statement at face value,and infect their kids with it too. Maybe someone had a grandfather who fought in Okinawa,and now they are racist against all oriental people--thinking they are all Japanese. Racial slurs also are passed down,and often mimicked by somebody who really does not even know what they mean. It is ignorance and stupidity,pure and simple!! Be careful that you do not form a stereotypical opinon of Americans,because some of us will not tolerate racism,bigotry or ethnic/religious stereotyping near us,or our families!!

Unfortunately there are still people out there that are still racist, they are not used to different things. They do indeed bring back crafts and gifts and I do not understand that either, if they hate the people so much, why visit the country if you're not going to have a positive attitude and a good mood to go with it. I'm British myself, as some of you may say we are moaners because I have come across people on holidays where they are rude to the locals when all they are doing is running around backwards for them to make sure their holiday is as comfortable as possible and there is no pleasing them! I find this frustrating too, and thankfully you can tell everyone else that this Brit is not the same as the rest. I am so friendly to the local people and I appreciate their culture, language and respect their country. I love to travel and yes, some racists are two faced, when they are confronted with someone of power they will hide away and act like the cowards they are! This is pathetic of them and I myself am ashamed that in this day and age, there are still people who are prejudging or stereotyping people of a race or nationality. This just needs to stop because quite frankly it's getting boring!

Amen!!!! It just shows how ignorant people really are. Everybody tries to act educated and when they are racist it just shows how little respect they have for their selves and for others. (Life's to short to be ignorant!!)

are you sure you know what a racist is?? i keep seeing that term thrown around by angry people who have no real argument. why should somebody be called a racist because they have a different opinion than someone Else's. BECAUSE I DONT WANT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS COMING TO THE U.S. DOESN'T MEAN I'M A RACIST.I DON'T CARE WHERE THEY HAPPEN TO BE COMING FROM, NOR WHAT COLOR THEY ARE. I DON'T WANT THEM HERE. u.s. citizenship is a birthright, or earned legally otherwise. the others are criminals breaking the law.\n\nthank you.

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 agree. And NO, you are not a racist. What you are is intelligent, observant and very cognitive of your surroundings.\nMost people, sadly don't have the open minded gift of seeing what others can't.\nCount your blessings that you're not in the mass majority of the population that can't even see their own hand in front of their face.\n\nDon't let other people dictate your emotions sweet pea.  YOU ARE RIGHT ON TRACK!

I think you are right in your question. i think everyone does have a racist problem. i think ignorance is the only reason.as America becomes another melting pot of cultures and colors of people...we will be as accepting of English,Iraqi,American as we are or our parents and grandparents..German,French,Welsh,American.

I think everyone is racist to some degree. If they say they aren't they are hiding behind political correctness.\n\nI live in London and there is more diversity here than anywhere else I've been to. Because of the mix and the crowds, you tend to put up barriers of some sort. And if people piss you off in any way, you tend to blame it on something, and unfortunately the easiest one is race.\n\nHaving said that, I know it is easy to overgeneralise and once you get to know people on an individual level, I'll treat them as an individual.

We have a racist immigration policy letting 70% of one group of immigrants come in, legal and illegal. I can't find anything pro-about this. \nMaybe someone else can defend racism.  \nI don't use that word "racist" lightly or incorrectly only by the true term of it.
