Is it normal for people to be naturally racist? even a mild form of racism, example......I don't dislike other races but I will only date in my own race.
I think the real problem is that people use the word "racist" too freely these days...
This.
The word "ignorant" is also largely abused by people who are ignorant towards its correct application.
How is racist used freely? When a white woman decides not to date someone just because he is Asian, that's racism and prejudice. There don't need to be violence for it to be racism.
Are you sure you mean racist? Maybe what you're referring to is Ethnocentrism?
Covering my ass, huh? You don't even fuckin know me like that! Some people would consider my parents to have a mixed marriage thereby making me biracial by said standards.
There's nothing wrong with people dating exclusively within their race just like there's nothing wrong with people dating outside their race even to the point of exclusivity outside said race. It's not anyone's business whom others choose to love in regards to race.
I'm certainly not a racist but you sound like you've been brainwashed by the left wing media.
I believe that people from certain regions aren't racist... but let me tell you this, I can't claim without hesitation that almost every single person in the US and Europe are racists, even the ones who claim to be open minded, intellectual, tolerant, etc.
These people don't even know what being racist means. They believe that by giving special treatment to minorities or people with different skin color they become non-racist. I believe that the true non-racist path is to treat everyone equally, while avoiding to act with pity towards minorities.
Yes of course it is. We fear and hate anyone who might potentially pose a threat, and if they're different and unknown to us, then they could potentially pose a threat.
Wanting to date within your own race is also perfectly natural, because generally, anything that seems more familiar will appear less threatening and so seem more appealing.
It makes sense from an evolutionary perspective too, primitive people stick to their little herds/packs or whatever because they're social animals that have a better chance of survival that way. Other little herds/packs could potentially pose a threat.
People are not born hating people with different skin colour. It's simple minded parents who teach their children to hate.
My experience has been that most people have levels of racial bias,the casual aquaintence or co worker kind of relationship is usually open to all but as you get closer to the person in the form of close friends or romantic relationships the preference narrows a bit...or like I heard a guy say once that he wasn't a racist but his daughter would be in big trouble if she brought a black guy home.....for most people I think it depends on what level the relationship is on.
Well I think that people are definitely separated from each other and race has to do with a subconscious part of it. Due to media/upbringing and whatnot.
IIN to think most minorities are racist?
FTFY
From my experience, white people don't hate anyone, but a lot of the blacks, asians, and hispanics I meet all have something against white people.
I agree with you in certain points. Minorities are racist as well. However, white people are much worse. Just say that you are from Latin America in USA or from Turkey in Europe, and you are guaranteed to be given the stink eye.
The most racist people in the world might be the asians though. If you spend a few years abroad, people will eventually accept you and forget about your race to a certain extent... but in asian countries, if you are not asian, you will never, ever, ever be accepted as one of them. Japan is particulary worse in this, since they even discriminate Koreans and Chinese people as well. But I think that in their case is understandable, since most than 90% of them share the same race, unlike other parts of the world in which the population is more mixed.
Whoops I hit the thumbs up instead of reply .... Maybe that's because white people have treated other races so badly in the past? Read some history, why don't you?
There is a part of the brain which makes you naturally afraid of people who look different to you. That's why Zebras run away from Lions even if they have never seen a Lion before.
More like zebras run away from large muscular animals with big sharp teeth who are sprinting towards them in an aggressive manor and it has nothing to do with being different.
That's rubbish - so why doesn't the lion run away from the zebra?
Do you have any evidence of this "part of the brain"? Bet you don't.
Babies aren't afraid of people who look different although there is a myth to that effect
Everyone is racist in some capacity on some level just like everyone is gay on some level. It's just if they're willing to admit it to themselves and others.
Noone is racist unless everyone is racist cause if you have sex with someone if another race, can you still be racist, yes you can but you cant be bcause that means you were attracted to the other race but you hate the other race in general so your racist asf
I don't know... I'd say I know more people who aren't racist, at least openly, than those who are. That would lead me to think that the majority of educated people from where I'm from aren't racist.
It seems to be more of an issue in certain countries - South Africa, Rwanda, Japan, Russia, Greece etc. So I can't speak for them. The problem seems to be exacerbated in countries where there is perceived racial inequality or systemic prejudice, war and issues with immigration.
Worldwide, perhaps the majority (over 50%) hold some racial prejudice. But thankfully in my neck of the woods that number is definitely below that.
I try by all means possible to suppress ethnocentricm and I think it's working
You are delusional! You are indeed a racist. To state; "I don't dislike other races but I will only date in my own race." is as racist a statement as "I hate them fucking niggers", whether you think so or not.
Sorry to burst your bubble honey......
