Is it true that everyone has prejudice against some race??

REPUBLICANS HATE BLACKS, THAT'S FOR SURE.  THAT'S WHY 95% OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY IS DEMOCRAT.

no matta how far we have advanced as a people racism still exists. Our forefathers have cushioned it for us a little  though and we have it a few ways better than our grandfather or grandmother or even our ancestors have had it. but it still exisits. racism now has taken on a few new forms though. experts have argued orgin of where racism began. Some say it was taught through parents. others would say racism is learned. but where ever racism has come from it still exisits. People just hate each other for a reason or we sterotype each other and judge each other and make assumptions that keep us from trusting or talking to differnet race. My father argues its only white and black in the world no asian no japenses no irish no french no nothing it is just black and white. I believe different. I have nothing against no one or no race if i dislike a person it is because i cant stand them not b/c of how they look

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.

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.

Racial discrimination exists and both socially and at workplace... \nThe following  is an episode featured on oprah's show that i myself had watched..\nDaniel, a barber from London, is one of few black men who actually knows what it's like to be white. Daniel conducted a radical race experiment. Through prostetics and makeup, he posed as a white man for three months.\n\n"I was invisible all of a sudden," Daniel says. "I walked down the streets of London, and people didn't watch what I was doing, where I was in location to them, where I was in location to their pocketbook or their car. The other difference I found is when I go to shops, that's when they did look at you. They put the change in your hand rather than slam it on the counter and look to the next person. There's a difference in interaction."\n\nAnother lesson Daniel learned was not to completely hold stock in his prejudices. In disguise as a white man, Daniel went to the dog races and chatted with a kind spectator. The man was someone whom normally Daniel would have judged to be a threat for a black man. When Daniel returned later as himself, the man treated him equally as kind.\n\n"It made me question myself," Daniel says. "I have to look about how I look at other people and how I judge a whole race or a whole group of people, and if I don't want them to do that to me, then I can't do that to them. It made me look the other way."

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!

Where are the facts and statistics showing this. Maybe you are the only one that notices this. Try not to include race it only shows prejudice.

I agree, we are all human, and color and race have nothing to do with it, we are all the same, I'm white and I always have to stand up for myself....you wouldn't think so, but lot's of people say we think we are better than everyone else or that we are all rednecks...but I love everyone no matter what race, we are all God's people....it's great you stood up for yourself, i would of done the same..God bless

You shouldn't assume that all white people are racist.  Making assumptions and accusations about people based on the color of their skin is racist in itself.

I kinda agree with u, but u cant expect that every white person is going 2 like Blacks.Sure it would be great 2 have no racists in the world,but be realistic,there always will be.So there will be some who will defend racial comments but we all know that there will be others who will make them & support racism.We just have 2 accept that there are all sorts in this world.There are also a lot of stupid,  black people (not all, just a lot) who perpetuate this stigma that Blacks are judged by.But minority though they might be,most people are judged by the negatives than by the positives.If u meet 100 Whites & 10 are racists we are more hurt by the racial comments of those 10 & judge Whites by them rather than by the positive comments of the other 90. However dont expect any major changes no matter how frustrated u may feel.Its just life & Whites will never understand because its not part of their life. Some may relate but others will not. Still, I do support u in that call for change.

It is highly impossible to attain all the facts to prove that an entire race is bad. You are entitled to feel how you feel, but one bad apple does not spoil the whole bunch, so keep an open mind and don't be so quick to judge.  There is no written rule that says a person has to like everyone that they come in contact with, but at the very least being tolerant of someone that is different is essential.

Everyone has their prejudices, but some people are more likely to act on them than others are.  I try to judge the individual, but I am just as guilty as anyone else of having my stereotypes.  I'm sure others feel the same way about me in that regard.  I guess the best rules of thumb that I use in dealing with my personal prejudices is to keep in mind that one person, or a few people, demonstrating negative traits isn't representative of the whole group that he or she belongs to, and you have to be willing to look at the positive traits demonstrated by others in the group.

yes.  i believe everyone is racist, including me.  we live in a world that tells us since childbirth that dark people are bad.  if u are in a family of dark-complected people, chances are they tell u the opposite- that white people are evil.  society is setup this way, so I'm wary of anyone who says they have totally escaped this conditioning- don't trust them on that. \n\ni realize that i contain this bias and I'm always trying to improve it... rather than most people who deny they have any racism in themselves, and never try to improve it, since they won't admit they have a problem. \n\nit's a worldwide problem.  I'm American but a friend from India once told me that "anywhere i go, I'll catch hell" because of my dark skin.

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.

There is, and no you are not the only one. I am not offended by racial slurs at all, I was raised to love everyone regardless of skin color. If people want to act ignorant around me, than so be it. \n\nJust roll it off, and try one by one to change the world :)

I do not feel any prejudice towards people of any race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, religion, or spirituality. I believe so strongly that all humans should be treated fairly and equally. I have given up friendships and relationships because of this belief.\n\nThere are so few things I feel are worth standing up and fighting for - against anyone at any time...this is one of those things.\n\nI hope your question isn't asked because you are struggling to understand why someone is discriminating towards you, but I fear it is. My sincerest wish is that you find the answers you are looking for and are able to know that no matter what prejudicial thing anyone says or does to you - NO MATTER WHAT, it's never about you. Hate and ignorance are ALWAYS about the person speaking or acting. Know that, try to educate them if the opportunity is there and be confident and calm in the knowledge that it is NOT ABOUT YOU.

I think what you meant by your statement about how "white ppl can be so blind" is not that you are calling all white people racist, but rather, you are wondering why white people seem to have a harder time seeing the consequences of racism or identifying their own racism.\n\nI think everyone is racist to some degree.  From my experience, there are two groups who admit it: \n\nThe first are those that are KKK-like extremists.  They admit to it, encourage it, and try to covert people to their belief system.\n\nThe second are people who try to not be racist, but were socialized or conditioned to see differences and attribute generalizations to people possessing those differences.\n\nI find the latter group - people who acknowledge their racism, are embarrassed by it and are trying to overcome it -- to generally be less racist than those who say "I am not racist."  Everyone who I have ever met that said "I am not a racist", I have found to be just that!\n\nTo those that say they are not racist, who do they want to find in a life partner?  Do you have requirements when it comes to specific race, gender, socio economic level, religion, body type, national origin or cultural heritage?  Don't lie.  eveyone does.  Well, that can be construed as racist, homophobic, classist, ethnophobic, etc.  We are all guilty. Admit it.\n\nYes, racism is in almost every skin color - but it's not necessarily racism based on skin color... it is bigtory based on any difference.  It Ruwanda it wasn't white people committing genocide, it was between the Tutsis and the Hutus.  In Germany, it was Aryan people against mostly other Caucasians.  In Germany it is now against the Turks.  In the catholic church it is against the homosexuals - not a race, but a difference in sexual orientation.  In the gay community there is bigotry against Transgendered people.  \n\nBasically, the real issue is not whether Latinos are racist against white people (which for some reason comes up all the time here at Yahoo Answers), but whether people in power and/or with authority are bigoted against a group with less power and/or authority.\n\nThink about it: What has a greater effect?  We have 2 imaginary men: The Senator from North Carolina and a Dishwasher from the local Olive Garden (I am making this up as an example... I don't know anything about the Senator from North Carolina, and I really hate the Olive Garden).  Both think that women don't belong in the workforce.  So, obviously in this scenario, both are sexist.  But, who really cares if the dishwasher is sexist?  What impact does that have on society?  That is not going to impact me, or anyone else for that matter outside of his family.  On the otherhand, if someone who has authority, who can make decisions that impact my life, that can create laws, that has more authority than I do, hates me for my gender, race, creed, weight, or sexual orientation, that is where it become an issue.  \n\nSo, to answer your question, because Caucasians are in a position of power in the United States, they do not directly feel the effects of racism.  They do hear it when it's blatant: when the KKK burns a cross on a lawn or when the Mayor of New Orleans uses the term Chocolate to describe his city, but they don't notice that standardized test questions are targeted toward the white middle class experience.  Math questions about the speed of two roller coaster cars don't make as much sense to someone who has never seen an amusement park.  A rat to a wealthy child might be a pet or a test subject - an animal that can be touched.  A rat to a poor child is more likely viewed as a bearer of disease, a pest.  When test writers don't take these differences into account when writing questions, it is subtle racism and classism that favors those who are of their status. My favorite example is Coco, the gorilla that knew sign language, got an answer wrong on an IQ test because she poi
