why do other ethnic people like to play the racism card but really they are racist against white people?

Fantastic observation.  America and its politicians are FINALLY figuring this out.  The race card has no meaning anymore because of its misuse.

You know what?  I hear this all the time with different ethnic groups complaining that some other race does not like them.  Give me a break.  You know what, some people are just feeling sorry for themselves or they are passing the blame of something onto another, like a different race.  I am latino and I don't feel that way.  Alot of my friends are latino and they don't feel that way either.  I have many other friends who are white, black and arab and asian.  We have better things to do and think about than another race is being prejudice toward us.  Those people who think that way need to take a closer look and figure out why they feel that way.  They need to put the blame on themselves.

Racism refers to "race", that is skin color and the configuration of human face. Disliking someone because of their nation is nationalism.

'Playing the race card' is usually bringing a person's race or background into an issue, and using it as a kind of excuse or reason for something... it's usually not relevant to the argument. The 'card' bit of it is referring to trumping somebody - there's no way you can beat the race card without looking like a racist, ignorant arseh*le.

First acknowledge that it is still much alive and visible. Mostly when you've been a victim of racism. You tend to be more aware of it, when you see it perpetrated on others.  Most people are immune to saying, the race card is being used once again. In regards to non caucasian individuals.  I am not a victim of racism. I am a Survivor of racism!  See past color, and get to know other cultures. Stop Mental Ignorance hug a Bear!

There is one thing I believe. Whether you look down your nose at a different race or you over-act, they are both forms of racism. A person is not a racist when he/she acts totally normal around all sorts of people. If you force yourself to be down, you are bordering on racism because you might make people feel uncomfortable and that's what racism is.

Because it is the EASIEST and MOST CONVENIENT.  They're grabbing at straws.  It is the only thing they can throw out there that MIGHT get some attention.  The ones who use that card think it will get them sympathy or scare those that are taking action.  Most people don't want to be called racist.

I agree with you 100%.  It makes us racist because throwing the race card is the easiest way for someone who has a differance of oppinion, to shut you up.  If you dissagree with someone of a different race, then calling you racist is the fastest way for them to win the argument whether they are right or not.  Because I am white, just agreeing with you makes me racist.  (even though my best friend is black and my girlfriend is asian)  the great american hipocracy.

Some of the most racist individuals I have ever encountered are the ones who are constantly claiming Whites to be racist.

Them white boyz... ha ha ha\nWhy are you so worried about bashing white ppl all the time? This happens all the time, in any race, skin color, religion, ethnicity whatever, ppl will associate together if they have something in common and can all relate to. And even if they do that does not mean they're racist, or anti-religious, or anarchist or any other crap. You can be different ethnicity and still be white! This is just a typical stereotypical bashing. Seems cool lately, so you decided why not right? You just sounded more racist and condescending towards others than them white boyz you just described.

Racism is drawing negative conclusions about another person's traits, ethics, worth, ability, etc based solely upon that person's racial origin. And then acting upon those assumptions. \n  I think we all have "stereotypes" or "preconceptions" to 1 degree or another. Whether we like to admit it or not. A racist is usually aware of, and willing to act on these preconceptions.

the same reason that some white, asian, chinese, jewish, mexican, puertorican, russian, ect. people act like porch monkeys, make a spectacle of themselves and irritate other people.  they either want attention, are "special", or are just immature.  a person will act a "jackass" regardless of their race, color or ethnicity.  think!!!!

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.

It gives people power or feel like they have power over someone else.  Most people at one time or another wish they could be better than others, and for some people, this is all they can find to pick out that is obvious.\n\nMostly though, I think many of those who are racists are so because one of their parents is racist.  If this wasn't the case, I doubt many people would be racist.

The same reason when people see im black they assume i'm good at basketball, steal, carry a weapon, have rythem, and eat fried chicken and watermelon. \nThe whole worlds a stage and we all have our parts to plasy, token white boy, violent black boy, smart asian, illegal hispanic, terroist middle eastern, and drunk russians. Its all crap, its all racist, and it will always exist.
