Am i racist? :/ or is feeling like this normal?

I'm not saying I purposely bash people - I find cool that at the lunch table where I sat last year, the friends we had belonged to everything - there was an italian, a black person, a mexican, a blond boy, more than a few glasses wearers, a ginger, an asian, a christian, a jew, some atheists, gays, bis, and altogether we were one of the geek tables. We're like the frickin' U.N. of lunch. And we all made jokes about eachother, for example I've drawn a few swastikas in their schoolbooks from time to time, and we always played around.

I once said to my Dominican friend, whom I joke as a Mexican, "Well, SOMEONE woke up on the wrong side of the border this morning!", and well I'm sure you get the gist.

We all made jokes in good taste (though some not) and we never took it too far. So I'm definitely not against any race, or am I?

Well for one, I have always, ALWAYS disses Christians. Though I don't say it publicly as I don't want to offend the close friends of mine that are, possibly just a what...1/1 joke with an atheist friend. I have no idea why, and I truly do feel really bad to say this, but there are just one...possibly two, races that I just cannot STAND. No, I don't act mean to them. There was this one girl belonging to that race that I knew for only one week - though I introduced myself and I had been kind.

But that's the thing. That's the only race I'm hostile to (in my mind) at first, and where it truly DOES depend on the girl at heart - she, for example, happened to be a nice, quiet girl.

And no, it's not like I kept my eyes on her or anything, waiting for her to do something. But it's just the general race of hers, overall that I thought, I dislike them. Not the individual but just the whole race.

It may seem odd, could this be what my race is? It'd be cool if an ancestor or something had er...'gotten into' me, in a sense. And no. I do not joke about that race, because any 'negative' comment I'd make on them would be most possibly true. So I joke with my black friends, especially on MSN,
FRIEND: "Lol okay."
ME: "Kkk."
FRIEND: "You suck XD"

But it's all in good taste, and I/we never take it too far. I'm mostly white (italian/teeny 2% German), and some black (barbados around 20%). I don't care for my race and I wouldn't wish to be any other. Honestly it's irrelevant to me, not like I live at either of those places anywhozers.

Wow I get off topic.

But yeah. Your opinions? Am I racist for hating the one race? And if you're curious, the race I 'dislike', I have not mentioned at all throughout the story. If you're curious, ask and perhaps I'd reply?

    unfortunately youre far from normal. and you can squarely blame it on the 2% german you have in you. thats why you keep drawing the swastikas in your friends books, its that german in you trying to manifest itself. you need to smack it on the head once and for all by 1: burning a nazi flag with a menorah and 2: wear an isreali flag like a cape and walk into your local skinhead clubroom with it on chanting "im justa poor goy nobody loves me"

    Sarisa, you're so gullible and stupid idk where to start. Btw, you should be aware that your opinion on race comes from Karl Marx who was also a total hypocrite on race in his personal life.

    But in all seriousness, political correctness is retarded. Human races are like different species of dogs, they look different and have different dispositions and character traits in general. Is it okay for someone to not like little dogs who frequently moody, bark and bite a lot, or is that racist against the small breeds of dogs that fit that description?

    Stereotypes are generalizations. Generalizations are generalizations because they are generally true. Exceptions don't change this fact.

    Who the fuck cares if someone is "racist." Our whole reaction to that word as a society is a fucking joke. It's nothing more that operant conditioning (look it up if you're unfamiliar with it). People immediately respond the way they were trained since birth when we encounter the trigger (someone saying anything even suggesting differences in racial groups) we scream: Racist! Ignorant! Bigot! Supremacist! Nazi!
    The YouTube satirist RamZPaul has a video called
    "My Tram experience - Emma West and Somalia" which explains this very well. His other videos are great (funny and truthful) too.

      Wow, you sure don't know what race really is. It has nothing to do with character or personality, it really is just the color of someone's skin. We are all very related to each other, there are no specific traits different "races" have. Stereotypes exist to denigrate and subordinate groups of people. I suggest you look into the documentary "Race: The Power of an illusion" It's a PBS documentary.

      Being politically correct is just being able to empathize with other people's problems society places on them, it is having respect and compassion for different groups of people.

    You really need someone to confirm you're a racist?

    You sound incredibly immature, I hope for your sake you're only 13 or something. At least there would be some hope you can grow the hell up.

      Something's only racist if you think it's racist.

      I used to make jokes about white people, but then I took a black guy to the knee.

    i think making jokes about racism that the people your making them too find funny is the opposite of being racist, because your highlighting the stereotype and laughing at it because it's not true.

    i'm the same i make jokes about stereotypes a lot specially country/county's like the welsh are sheep shagger, all the Irish do is eat potatoes etc its just silliness.. so it works the same with religion, race, sex etc

    i guess as long as you apologise if you ever do offend, explain that you meant nothing by it or follow it with a joke about yourself if you know someone is sensitive.

    Racism isn't a disease. If you feel the need to ask if you judging a book by its cover is a bad thing then maybe you should go back and revisit some children's books from your childhood (Unless you were reading works from the early 1900's).

      What. Okay. I don't get what the hell you're talking about but okay? Try making the font bigger or squinting - it's not like I didn't use any punctuation, so it shouldn't be that hard.

      Did you even finish reading it? If you did then try it again.
