When people look back at the history of white people all around the world, some base their opinions on those facts. Countries that have been conquered and Natives pushed to the side, Natives brought from their home country to be slaves for whites, white people having majority if not all political power of countries making laws to oppress anyone not white, many stereotypes for other races that are still used today being started by white people; all of this and more has been collectively used by some to base their opinion that white people are notoriously the ultimate oppressors/racists and no one of another race can be racist, and it makes no difference in their minds that it is far from truth.
i don't know i think its because there are more white people in the UK than black people or that white people were the first to live in the UK. it should be though if it is racist to call people blacks
I don't think it is as OK as you think, however anti-racist people have many friends that are racist so sometimes rather than argue / fight with friends they keep their anti-racist opinions to themselves. I think you may find that there are also a lot of anti-racist people out there, but unfortunately the racist "voice" seems to be the loudest.
Some people think this way because they are just ignorant about the issues of racism. Others may think only whites are racist to blacks based on historical relations between the races. In the end, anyone can be a perpetrator or a victim of racism regardless of their race.
Mexicans being racist to whites? um I think you mean it the other way around..Actually racism can come from either race. blacks can be racist against whites as brown people can be racist to blacks.
It is too hard to tell, but a poll taken by Americans said that 43% of whites THINK that racism is a problem, and 49% of blacks do.
It is not possible for an inanimate object to be racist.
I think it is not racist making fun of people with their clothes.
There is, unfortunately, racism everywhere. All around the world there are people who think that just because people are different they are "evil" or "unfit" for society.
This is a loaded and volatile question.Edit: While I agree with the previous answer, there was a poll taken on who THINKS there's more racism; 43% of whites think racism is a problem, and 49% of blacks think it is. The idea of one group being more racist than the other is actually a nearly impossible question to answer. It depends on where you are, what the background of people are, and basically it comes down to what people themselves personally believe.
People may think you are a racist because you dont like a certain race of people, not only black people.
Some people do think the book is racist. Others feel it develops understandings between cultures and serves to defeat racism.
Laryn Hill is indeed a racist. A quick glance over youtube videos will confirm her thoughts on whites.However...if your here because you think she said she didnt want whites buying her albums..thats not true.
