The term Majority doesn't necessarily mean highest number, it does however, mean the group with the most power.  So how many different ethnic groups can you count who have been president?  For that matter, how many women?  Incidentally people with disabilities make up the largest minority group in this country.

Jeez, calm the hell down. I can't believe that you are so sensitive to things. Look, I agree there are some things on here that are racist and some blatantly racist. But the easiest thing to do is either go to a different category, or report the questioner. Do not bring Iraq into this. This is different ok. This ethnic diversity in this country is unlike any other in the world. The largest human experiment referred to as a melting pot is the first and only of its kind in human history. In the past, when a race first meets another race, they want to kill them, conquer them, and this makes them feel superior. I realize there are exceptions to this but the majority of the time this is the truth. So its human nature to do this. Its just like if there is a huge room full of people of all races with the lights off, you will talk to and be with whoever is next to you but once the lights go on, all races will eventually segregate on their own over time. This is human nature. But what can be done is tolerate those who are unlike yourself. This is how we have grown as a nation and why we are so strong today. Most other countries have one major minority group. The US has every minority, so if someone tells you or I that they aren’t as racist in Japan or France, that’s because they aren’t in a melting pot society where they are forced to deal with human instincts regarding other races on a daily basis and create biases and stereotypes. So in reality, this country is one of the least racist because the majority of society here has learned tolerance. I am white, and I have been racially discriminated against and profiled. I live in an area where if you are white, you are either lost, or rich and lost. So I get f-ed with all the time. But I have thick skin. You sir do not. I am sad to see that someone who has a genuine ability to convey their feelings in a grammatical and tactful way is going to throw that away because of some a-holes on computers somewhere. A person’s input in these answer columns are very important to some people and I myself have felt like this is the only place to have someone respond to a problem I have. Has anyone benefited from your input in a crisis of their own? When someone chooses you as a best answer, do you feel like you have helped someone? Well I hope you reconsider and just keep helping those you can. If not, fare thee well. I hope the world benefits from you another way.

I was never attracted to another race, but like to have them as friends. I don't think that makes you racist.

Mimi,\nI don't think you are racist. I believe that you are threatened by several things going on around you... That's OK, the rest of us are too.  The racist label that has been placed on you is because you are able to speak your mind here, and you do so in a manner that others reel threatened by you....  Remember, that's OK too!  \n\nIf you ask your questions to hurt people... Well that's not OK.\n\nYou have the same right to speak you mind as everyone else does... even if we don't agree with you!  That is the wonderful thing about living in the USA.\n\nKeep you head high, demand respect, give respect where it is due, and always be sure that you are proud of who you are & what you do!

I prefer to be called Black, not African American. No, I'm not from Africa but of course my ancestors are. But given the fact that many African Americans from Africa have treated me like sh*t like any other racist idiot, I'd rather not be called that. I have heard from many of them that we (Blacks) are not pure Africans and that we are a disgrace to their people. The ones I've encountered looks at us and treat us like dogs. I'm cool on them. Don't want to ever be associated with them. Don't get me wrong, not all of them are like that. But the majority I've encountered are.

I think this is a good question to bring up, as it has raised many different responses from others (especially those who did not read the question well and answered assuming the questioner was being racist by asking the question).\n\nI personally do not think you are wrong for NOT wanting to date out of your race.  Many people remain committed to continuing the binds that hold their race true and that is something to be proud of, isn't it?  It used to be.  Every race was happy to continue to lengthen their ethnicity so as not to die out as a race.  In time, it changed and wasn't so important, given social awareness and immigration to other countries.  Then, we saw there was nothing wrong with integration.  So the same should be for those who do not wish to date/marry out of their race.  I can't say that the person needs to have a biased reason, such as "well, as long as you don't do it because you hate other races."  Because you're the one who has to live your life.\n\nYou are not a racist just because you choose to do this.  I have been called names just because I dated OUT of my race.  When I was dating, had men of my race shown interest, I'd happily have dated them, but they stereotyped me and avoided me based on that "probable" information.  I married OUT of my race simply because I fell in love with him - mentally, the "race" thing just didn't register, so I did what I wanted to do.\n\nI am proud of my race and you should be too, as this is our heritage, who we are (good, bad or indifferent).\n\nFor those who misunderstood you, please don't feel bad.  Perhaps they misinterpreted the question - this happens.  Know that you should not feel obligated to date out of your race.  Who are we to say that you should, that this would help lighten racism as we know it?  It's your decision/life, not ours.

No, racism involves believing that you are superior to another race and also inflicting some form of harm (whether) verbal or physical onto someone else because of their race.\n\nThere are, unfortunately enough of those types around.  You are not racist.

In an era where people are ultra sensitive, your comment was racist. Personally, I don't think that it was racist and you shouldn't have had to apologies. There is nothing wrong with you desiring to live around people you feel are more like yourself. If the black person said that he didn't want to live in Lexington, Kentucky because it is 80% white or it he even said the exact same statement you made, I doubt he'd be in trouble. \n\nThe right thing to do is apologize that your statement offended him. Some people are very sensitive to things like that because they feel that you would be the type of person who would treat a black family badly if they moved into your neighborhood. They feel that people like you only see black thugs and gangsters and don't see that there are decent blacks that want the same things out of life that you do. While all of this is true, I still stand by my belief that you should not be held responsible because of others tendency to be extra sensitive. Exam your intentions: if you are not a bigot and just want to live in a neighborhood that suits you, that is your right.

no that doesn't make you racist...   especially if you are just showing pride in your own race and heritage.. your racist when you think a certain race is better, or think another race is inferior to yours, etc.
