Man, is that crap still happening? I thought this Country and it's people were better than that...I know my circle of friends and family aren't harboring acrhaic and useless prejudices. When are we gonna learn?

Yes, racism exists. But what seems to be more pervasive is the startling lack of education here. Perhaps you should utilize your spellchecker once in a while, or no one will be able to figure out what you're asking!

Unfortunately there are still people out there that are still racist, they are not used to different things. They do indeed bring back crafts and gifts and I do not understand that either, if they hate the people so much, why visit the country if you're not going to have a positive attitude and a good mood to go with it. I'm British myself, as some of you may say we are moaners because I have come across people on holidays where they are rude to the locals when all they are doing is running around backwards for them to make sure their holiday is as comfortable as possible and there is no pleasing them! I find this frustrating too, and thankfully you can tell everyone else that this Brit is not the same as the rest. I am so friendly to the local people and I appreciate their culture, language and respect their country. I love to travel and yes, some racists are two faced, when they are confronted with someone of power they will hide away and act like the cowards they are! This is pathetic of them and I myself am ashamed that in this day and age, there are still people who are prejudging or stereotyping people of a race or nationality. This just needs to stop because quite frankly it's getting boring!

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

Where did you pick this? from the dumb laws? there were rules for the times. Things have changes, we have no such law that exists which are racially biased.

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 see ur point. i've been watchin and actually witnessing people that would go to such length, of claiming that somthing is only so bcoz of racism...and for stupid reasons too. i mean it has gotton so bad that people fear to fire or not employ people if they are not for the job. i mean really. but some are racist, you have to look at the situation to figure out if its for racism or facism. you pull, a good point too.:)

I don't believe people are racist.I truly think they are fearful of what my happen when they let there enter self take over with feelings that make them say and do fearful things . You do have to say a lot has happen.Give them time to get to know you and see if you still feel the same way .Are maybe them are the people you just need to still away from.

Hey Ruth, I think the racial questions are up your butt along with that stick.  Better get it out before people mistake you for an ignorant SOB.  And yes, haven't you heard?  We're not monkeys anymore, we're lions and wallabies these days.

the guy screwed up, what he did was just plain wrong, and there is not alot he can say except to appoligize and keep a low profile for a while.\n\nTo piant the guy as a "racist" over one incident is more than I care to do. Folks screw up,..at what point is the pennance paid? Besides,...I am more concerned with the racist that I do not see. Just me,...your mileage will vary.
