Poll: Is everyone just a bit racist?

[Declaro]

No, I think it has to do more with upbringing than anything.
For example, I grew up with a sizable Indian minority at my school, and I remember the first time I heard a British dude talk smack about "Pakis". Pretty sure my jaw fell open... I never thought you could hate like that! Sure, some Indian kids were annoying, but it never had anything to do with them being Indian. Same with the annoying white kids: it was about their character, not their race.

I don't think differences between people have to do with race, I think they have to do with culture or religion. "Fundamental" differences are all about people acting in a different manner than that of the group around them, with the exception of physical differences.

So, yeah, I think it's possible to be not-racist. It's something you grow up around, though you can grow up not-racist and be racist or vice versa.

I'm not racist at all. I don't care about people equally. People are basically the same regardless of skin color, nationality etc. They need to hate someone that's why they invented racism. Now when racism is dying they'll try to divide themselves in some other way. And it's always something trivial and stupid.

I think I'm a little bit, much as I want to be tolerant of other people, I will be inclined to automatically distrust other people.

One particular kind of people I distrust is everyone else who isn't friend or family. So it's okay, I don't trust anybody....especially Turks. I can't help it, I'm part-Greek, I inherited this crap.
