Don't forget, only a racist recognises racism!

I think racism exists, and is still a problem.

However, I don't think racism is currently a growing problem, perhaps it's even decreasing as a problem right now. Of course, this could all change again some time in the future. Who knows?

Focusing on "racism" is all too often used to mask other, more real problems...

Interesting that one is never born a rascist but "learns" it from peers, friends or society.

you've totally lost me #10. so if you recognise a certain behavour as racsist that means yo're racist. what are you on about?

Perhaps #10 means "takes one to know one."

To the "anti-racists" - are you anti-racist because it's the politically-correct thing to do? How do you feel about other factors, such as gender, culture, socio-economic situation, religion, etc.?

now you're opening up the conversation princess. i'm anti racist because i believe that people are natures most fantastic creation. they are interesting because they're different. i love to travel and it's the people that make the place. i'd be bored if everone looked the same. whatever contact you want to make with other people wether social, sexual etc. the more choices the more interesting. other factors:-gender..i think that women are the backbone of every society but men are the balance. :-culture is fascinating and again is what makes people unique. if we open up our minds we can learn lots from each other :-socia-economic situation is over stated. it's more about pride in oneself. you can be rich or poor and it doesn't make you a better or worse person but obviously gives you more choices and opportunities and can open up the world to you if you want it to. :-lastly religion. i do believe in god and if i'm right and he/she does exist he/she must be looking down in disgust at the hatred in the name of religion. it's the biggest divider of people much more so than race. i live in england and despite the fact that there is racism here there are more relationships across racial lines than religious.

So, #10, if someone walks up to me and says, "I hate nggrs", I wouldn't be able to tell if he was a racist unless I was one myself? Get real.

The logical problem with racism is that any generalizations made about groups are confounded by observing individuals from those groups. It doesn't matter if IQ tests (whatever they actually measure) show small statistical advantages for one race over another, because there's no guarantee that an individual of whatever pigmentation in front of you is at the top or bottom end of the human range. People are people one at a time.

#10
You are way WRONG !!
#16
You are way RIGHT !!
My take is that racism is a product of ignorance.
And it, are some other "ism" are "schism" exist in all countries.
ONE LOVE !!

I don't have any imaginary friends, and yes, religion is more devisive than anything else. Because of the competition to see who has the most bad-ass imaginary friend. Relationships based on skin color... no big deal. Religion, however, always becomes a big, nasty issue.

What most people call "racism" is actually something or other based on the culture and/or religion behind the skin color, not the skin color itself. It's all too easy to dismiss everything as a skin color issue.
