When I was a kid, to me people were like different coloured cats, I didn't see race, just variation of humans.
I also assumed we were all the same, but then learned that I was behind the curve on this and began to accept some racial prejudices. Not because I was racist, but because I experienced racism as an Indian person and saw others through the same lens, which actually was very eye-opening.
Treating others as equals I would say is a more noble quality, since racism/prejudice is generally a very narrow/ignorant perspective. But that only works if everyone feels the same way. I've found that European whites (like Italian/Portugese/Greek/Caucasus) tend to be more racist than the North Americans.
I'd also say humans are at their ugliest when they are racist-I've had a couple of unpleasant incidents with some white people because of their racism-but it was very rare. Generally I get along extremely well with whites and I find the non-racist ones tend to be great people.
The most racism I've experienced is from black people though, who I consider to be a very despicable race as a result. I'd say 80% of blacks are garbage, the rest are nice, but I don't really give a shit about them-I'd like them all to be sent back to Africa. I've just had too many bad experiences with black people to ever like that race. Plus I consider them to be rather ugly also.
I'm not a fan of the Asian race, but I do like the more middle-class asians who are decent people and I find that some asian girls are hot.
Can people control whether or not they're racist?
