Is it normal think the majority of white people are racist/ignorant to racism?

They're judging you based on your skin color, assuming you're like the stereotype of an ignorant black person. Please don't stereotype all white people the same way! We're not all like that- I certainly am not. If you think that way you're becoming just like them.

I am a white teenage girl and I am not racist at all. But my parents seem to be very racist against Mexicans and African Americans. And of course I tell them to not talk like that around me or anyone else. Yes I think it is normal to think that white people are ignorant and racist. Because it's the truth, most of us are.

I'm white and I can't stand white people.

You are being racist yourself. In reality, the out-spoken minority of all races are racist. In other words, the large majority of people are not at all racist, or at least not in a way that affects their everyday life, but the ones that are are can be so aggressive that we remember them, and come to think of their views as the norm, when they are in fact a tiny minority.

That is quite sad and unfortunate. Just like you do not fit the negative stereotype you mentioned, many whites do not fit the racist stereotype. It's unfortunate but tge fact is in majority of races, there are a lot of ignorant behaving people that reflect poorly on the human race. Just hold your head high girl and no regardless of color that you are in the 2% of the intelligent population. Don't allow ignorance of people of any race bring you down to their judgmental small minded state of being.

As a white gay female professional, I have faced a lot of uncomfortable situations and judgements from small minded people. Allow it to make you stronger and smarter. ;)

Take comfort in the fact that you aren't as miserable and ignorant as those that put you down.

I'm a white girl, but am not racist whatsoever. I have friends of several different races, including African American. And they're true friends, we'd do anything for each other. However, I am totally aware that loads of people are racist, which is just totally wrong and doesn't make any sense. I hate that racism even exists. We all are human beings and originated from the same parents. It's just very wrong to put one race, culture, or nationality over another. Everyone should be treated equally, regardless of their appearance or beliefs. Racism makes me very upset.

I would try not to pay attention to them, I can't think of anyone besides absolute idiots who would be racist! They take their pathetic live's out on the vulnerable!

Just take happiness in the fact that someday you can get out of that place and be with people who don't suffer from complete ignorance; unlike them idiots who are stuck living their close minded pathetic live's!!

I was with a friend who is mixed race. We were looking at watches in the jeweller's window and someone passing just said that word at her. Spat it at her almost. I was so stunned, I couldn't even react. I'm sorry this happened to you too.

You're stereotyping all White people as racist! Makes you just as bad and as ignorant as them in my opinion!

Personally I think it's rather racist to judge an entire skin color off of one person's comment.

When you judge an entire race off of one person's actions, you are NO better than the ones you call "racist".

I live in Canada, and I don't think I've ever seen this happen. However, I have an app where people ask opinions consisting mostly of Americans, and I notice this more often. I think it depends on the geographical area; judging by your school, it seems like it's a predominantly white area. And also an area where they're still very close-minded.

I've been around people of all different ethnicites who can be equally racist, they just won't voice those opinions out loud, everyone is racist to an extent, we just have to deal with the really bad ones :/

The irony is rich. We're well aware of racism and our racist attitudes are largely due to negative jewish and black influence. It is blacks who are completely ignorant of racism, quick to cry about it and play the victim but when it comes to their own very abundant racist issues, they ignore it with "it's okay because black "people" can't be racist". Truly, scum of the earth you "people" are.

If only you knew:
You should be grateful.
Think about this:
Be happy you're AA and not asian (East Asian guy especially), think and feel how they feel, exactly in your position, and even worse cuz they're seen as punching bags.

There are almost no more "racist" people in america. Whites included, the experience you had was most likely someone stereotyping you as part of a CULTURE that is easy to detest. Although it is wrong to make generalizations, it is not totally inaccurate to assume a black person prescribes to the "nigger" culture. In your case you do not, but as a white person who grew up in a non racist world, i can say that i have had my fair share of black people be mean to me as well because i was white. Black people hold a resentment towards whites because of slavery and it will probably take a long time to overcome the bigotry from both sides.. As of right now, the bigotry is self reinforcing.

Where i live, everyone is called nigger whether you are black, white, asian, mexican. EVERYBODY SAYS IT. Its just stupid kids being stupid...

Ironically, I think most black people are racist.
If I had to list them from top being most racist to bottom being least racist, I'd list them as such:
West European/American/Canadian/Aussie
North Asian
South Asian
East European
Hispanic
African
Middle Eastern

Yes, OP, you're only enforcing my theory.
"Those whites, these blacks".
We don't talk like that. You do.

And they say america is the land of all colours...

Maybe biting into ever fishing line you are thrown is better? (I'm someone who annoys other people by trying to push their buttons. And someone who goes around biting in every angle is a great joy for me, they show their weakness by biting and I can feel superior.) I'm not saying ignore general racisme, but there will always be individuals. Nothing to do about.

And tbh discriminating on skin colour is a bit passé. I mean who cares. Now I'm not American, so it might be different there. Not meant as an insult, but it seems to be bit of an hype there. I mean I can never watch a black stand-up comedian on Comedy Central, because the jokes are either racist or seksist. And that might be fun there, but here it is just not a taboo.

And I feel there is nothing wrong with discriminating. I am one of the few people not afraid to not discriminate in my discriminating. So like I see the differences and generalise furniture. (Difference between tables and chairs.) I generalise and discriminate between humans and their skin colour. How can it not indicate something?:S Being too anti-discriminating is just ignorant, and playing into a hype. (Guilt trip maybe, I don't know, I'm Dutch, but don't feel guilty:D) Discriminate with care and all is fine. (Now I must emphasize that skin colour is a fairly weak indicator, generalisation is difficult, but not impossible.)

P.S. I first thought it was Alcoholics Anonymous, but that was a bit strange given the context.

i understand why you're so upset but just remember people think differantly. many white people have nothing against a person due to their race.

and don't forget it happens in reverse as well. black people can be racist towerds white people too. and just how not all white people are racist, not all black people aren't.

Although the terminology used was racist, I would suggest it's more about some people's need to insult or offend others, because it 'amuses' them. I was walking down the street with a friend once and someone yelled "fat cow" as they drove past. She was so upset.

If there is anything about you that can be identified and someone who enjoys offensive behaviour can use it to victimise you, they will. Don't ever think everyone is like that, because they're not.

Slight double standards there, agree with top comment

Im white and I like black people I also like black girls so rule me out lol

I think it's racist to use AA to describe yourself as African American. The Asian, Armanian, Albanian, Afghani - Americans in this country have as much right to AA as you do.

... They were a random idiot. I don't think that will happen again. Perhaps got to a normal American school with all different ethnicities.

I want to believe that the majority of people arent like this, whatever race

I could kill people who do that! Although every white person I know are in no way racist. What happened to you sucks ass but just blame the ignorant individuals -not the ethnicity.
