Is everyone a little racist?

One friend says that only white people are another countered by saying they heard minorities say racist things to each other. Another shut them both up by saying everyone is racist. Are they?

Yes 55
No 13

    I think most people probably do have an "in-group" bias to some extent. That's not even just with race though, it's with literally everything. You'll have "in-group" biases based on what you're interested in.

    I do think "racist" should remain a strong big word that's used for actual acts of discrimination, believing in "facts" of racial difference and violence based on race. I don't think merely gravitating towards people who look like you first, but still being open minded to people of different races, is necessarily racist.

    We shouldn't be watering down important words like "racist". When you're constantly bitching about things you deem "racist" that are not really racist, nobody is going to take you seriously when you actually are victimised for your race.

      To add to that comment as well, I'm tired of people making racism just about white people's bullshit and letting everyone else off the hook.

      People are not that different, even people of "different cultures" (and "culture" is learned anyway, not inherent). Let's stop acting like only white people are racist and tribalist. There's fuckers with attitudes like that in every race and it's just as stupid when they do it too.

    Nope. Most people are not racist. And it's not normal or acceptable to be racist. Wtf.

    I keep my eye on Asians. They're just too quiet. Makes me think they're up to something besides chicken wings and fried rice.

    Of course not, by the true definition of racist there are people who are not racist. Saying "everyone is secretly racist" is something racists say to make themselves feel better.

    Every animal that can choose is racist. You could argue that a dog is racist because prefer one skin tone over another, whether it be they were raised with humans that had one skin tone or one skin tone is more appeasing to a dog. It is like preferring red over blue.

    Racist could also only mean being proud of your race.

    Only white people can be racist. However, everyone has prejudice. Prejudice is basically the same as racism, but racism implies having the power to act on that prejudice, which really only white people can. (I am white btw)

    I think it is natural for races to prefer associating with their own kind.

    I think dads of all races have hang ups about seeing their daughter with a man of a different race but would have no qualms about their son doing the same.
