Do you ever have racist thoughts or discriminating thoughts against any group in particular?

I don't discriminate; I hate all races equally.

I have yet to find one race that excepts everyone no matter what color they are. I've had racial slang thrown at me by Hispanics, and Blacks. Racism isn't just practiced by white people.

Yep, then I remember that I'm looking into a mirror. Interesting question, some of the greatest prejudices against black people exists amongst black people.

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.

No. Racism would be if you hate anyone from a particular race of people or if you hate all races except for your own. Racism is based on race-based-hate not on hate in and of itself.

Not all people think it's OK anyway.\nBut if you're against a certain group, you will feel that it's OK to be a racist against them and you will defend the other groups that you're not against.

You don't say specifically in what ways you might be over-reacting but I'm assuming your offended by the perceived racial connotations of their statements. Have you asked what they mean when they say this to you? \nAnyway, if the statements are intended to imply some racial slant then yes, you have every right to be offended.

No...but my so called "Best Friend" hated one of my other "Best Friends". We're not friends anymore though...and it's a rather long, rather racist story so I won't go into details...

What the heck are you talking about?\nI can make my own mind up about whom and what I want to be racist about.  It has nothing to do with the people that came before me.  And stop using racism as an excuse as to why people are against illegal immigration.

I am white. I have an equal amount of friends that are black and Mexican. I was racist though at about 15. It was a very determined wonderful strong minded black woman who brought me out of it. I was like that because people of other races besides yours ARE somewhat different. It was hard for me to understand and at that age my family, my mentors, told me this is how you should be and I believed that. There is racism of every color and it is all a matter of ignorance. What needs to be understood is that it is our differences that make us special and wonderful and should be celebrated, not hated.

I think racism is classified as any derogatory remark towards a person because of skin color, nationality, or ethnic background. If you discriminate against a person because of their background or make harsh remarks regarding their ethnic background, it is racist.

Never have I experienced racism and have been with many different cultures.  I am physically challenged and I believe that this helps people of various colours to identify with me and vice versa.  Sad part is that I have never experienced any feelings of being a little different from any of those of different races but have felt the experience of prejudice and/or fear from people of the while race from being physically different from them

Try not toe be prejudice. Think before speak. Try to rid yourself of all racist thoughts and don't read a book by its cover.

Depends. Not all people that others think are racist are actually racist.

You're stereotyping. All black people don't think white people are racist.  If you lump any group of people together like that it's stereotyping and racist.  So, using your statement, I'd say you're a racist.  Is it okay to be a racist if you're black.  I think people should just forget color altogether and not judge at all, I don't.

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!
