Do you judge others by their skin tone before their actions?

Well, I don't like the term "coloured" for people that have dark skin. It's rude and it's wrong. Then what does that make me, clear? Invsible? Why do we have to pay so much attention to people's skin colour? Why can't we see people as people? We all breath, bleed and breed the same ways. I don't see a difference. I just see people.

COME ON! Are you fishing for compliments? Everybody knows that dark skin tones are hot. Who you fooling?

I guess by looks is the fastest way to judge someone but that isnt very useful.. While looks can sometimes tell you what a person does for a living they are almost always wrong about who that person is.  If you really want to get an accurate impression, say hello and see what you learn.

I think we all do it.  The question is: how do we respond when someone does it to us?  If we respond in kind (get pissy or huffy or rude) it just fuels the fire.  If we could just understand the power of realizing that when we treat people who are nasty to us (for whatever reason) with a little kindness and compassion, they will usually show a whole different side of themselves.  We all seem to have hair trigger tempers these days and ugliness begets ugliness.

both races will eventually get over it. Give them a chance to get to know you. Those that are worth knowing will see through to the real you and not give a damn about the color of your skin. If they harrass you report it.

Short answer is they are idiots.  I see a human being the same as me, no matter their skin tone.

You've heard of "making a good first impression"?\n\nWhen you meet someone for the first time, visual cues are all you have to evaluate each other.  This includes appearance and behavior.  Your manner of speaking is generally the next cue, followed by more subtle cues, such as smell.  At this point, any judgement made is only opinion and human nature.\n\nEveryone judges everyone else; a person who says otherwise isn't being honest. It has nothing to do with being shallow, being a sinner, etc.  Everyone does it!\n\nSome are able to overcome this initial prejudice and learn what's in another's heart; others can't, or won't.\n\nIf your behavior isn't outrageous, and you're generally a good person, don't worry about what others think.  Be yourself.

I don't think it is right to judge other ppl least I want to be judged. We can make general observations but we do not know what has happened in a persons life to make them the way they are. WE have not walked in their shoes.

I'm sorry people judge you, \nI know I judge people sometimes and I'm struggling with judging people myself so I know how hard it is to jump to conclusions about people, but I think we judge quickly cuz we're born in a sinful world and we want to prove to ourselves how 'good' we are by looking down on others.

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.

I strongly agree with u on every1 being equal. Seriously, thats how I think. I don't think that the color of a person determines how smart they are, or who they are. However, I think some people are racist because they see difference as something bad.

of course, i honestly believe that you automatically judge someone inside of you, you shouldnt but, you know, it happens.  after really getting to know someone that you judged whether for good or bad, you'll realize whether you are racist against them or not.\nracism means either\nThe belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. \nDiscrimination or prejudice based on race. ...in this case if you dont like a particular thing, like sushi, or you never wanna go to china (just an ex.) its kind of racist, but its also just an opinion....

I used to judge people as well for different things, clothes and looks and the way they talk and all but i now know that it is not my place to judge anyone. \nI dont want anyone to judge me just because I am different. We all life different lives with our own likes and dislikes and faults and no one is just like ourselves. So no one should judge nor be judged by others. We all do what we do!!!  WHO ARE WE TO POINT OUR FINGERS AND JUDGE OTHERS

We do the same as blacks tell people they should not be sensitive, or I'm just joking when it comes to racism or cultural situations.\n\n/doc

Maybe their not intimidated by your skin color, but because of your beauty.
