I knew that everyone here would be bragging about how racism is stupid and how they're above it. Well yes, racism is idiotic. Thankfully the human species is gradually moving away from such arbitrary group stratifications. But I personally believe that most of us, if not all of us, have subconscious prejudices that we can't control, some of those being racist prejudices. Where I live the vast majority of latin americans are mexicans, and furthermore the majority of mexicans are working class people, many of whom don't have stellar education and english proficiency. Now I know that, no matter what, we're all just people, and appearances can be decieving. But I can't help the fact that some preconcieved notions come to the front of my mind when I see mexican people, and that's still racism, even though i am not hateful or openly discriminatory
