I think everybody is, to varying degrees. I'd challenge anyone to say they've never had a single thought that could in any way be construed as racist.
However, I'm very lucky to live in the city I do, which is a real melting pot of both ethnicities and sexualities. It's hard to be intolerant of something you're immersed in on a daily basis.
1.It considered racist to tell you the colour of the person who committed a crime is.
2.It is racist to realize you are different colour from your friend.
3.It is racist to not want to date everyone who asks you out if they are a different colour.
4.It is racist to not be friends with someone if they are a different colour(regardless how rude they are).
5.It is racist to be gay and not want to date someone if they are a different race or colour.
6.Now is that not racist in itself? It is racist to not have sex with someone if they are a different colour.
7.It is racist to note the colour of someone skin at all. It is racist to say where someone is from if they so choose to complain.
8.Saying someone is African is still considered extremely racist.
So just because it is possibly considered racist does not mean it is. Otherwise we are obligated to do things we really do not wish too. Just because race says so.
Oh, of course. One big problem though is that people often don't have the same idea of what racism actually is. Many think it's being insulting to someone of a different race whereas that's not even a partial truth. I couldn't define it here because there's no globally accepted definition. Isn't it weird that we all talk about it, though?
Everyone is a little racist, if they admit it or not. I try not to be too racist though.
Due to the categorizing nature of the human subconscious, I can't help but secretly be a little bit racist, deep inside my brain. However in my conscious thoughts, I try my best not to be racist because I know it's illogical.
Are you flirting with me?
Jk
Not in the slightest. Although I have to admit that if I'm walking down the street at midnight and I see some huge black dude with "Thug Life" printed on his shoulder, it's going to make me a bit more wary then if I see some white guy who just came back from Yoga.
Only against blacks, whites, Mexicans, Asains, Pacific Islanders, Mixed racial backgrounds, Native Americans, Indians, Hispanics, and other.
I will say that I do not see in color. As that does not define anyone as a person. If I am dating I do prefer certien features like hair and eye color. People are who they are based on not the color of the skin but the colour of their soul. If they get the job done and are black hire the black man. If they are from china hire that man. If they are white with blond hair and blue eyes well hire the blondy. Peoples worth is not defined by the colour of the skin they wear.
This is a stupid poll and is not going to work. You are basing it on peoples perception of themselves. Some of the racist are either going to lie or not think they are racist. The overly racist people who want to hide it are going to call anyone they meet a racist. The non racist are not going to be sure but probably have been accused by the reverse racist assholes who love to make everyone seem racist. Most likely to make themselves look less racist. Which just serves to piss everyone off and make non racist very racist. So this poll is impossible to answer. So you failed at this poll.
hmmmm..I don't think a racist would know they are racist, I mean "racist" is something negative, right? So someone might have racist ideas but they would think they are justified or it makes sense, so they wouldn't it put it under racism..Yet, if they truly understand that this mentality is prejudiced, they would stop it..But they don't see it this way I guess...Don't know
What makes you think some racist do not know they are racist? You really think people can not like being an asshole? Just because someone knows something is bad does not mean they are going to stop it. A killer will continue killing if they know they have something to gain. A con man will keep being a con artist even if they know it is wrong. By the way why are you not blue?
