Yes, racism is you not liking a person because he or she is not white, or isn't the same color as you are. Example if you say eww the Mexican, Indian, black, at school then it's called racism. It is also racism if a non-Caucasian person says "eww the white person" or something similar.

Why are whites the most racist?

Generalizing an entire race as being the "most racist" is not accurate. Racism exists within all racial groups, stemming from historical and societal factors. It is important to address and combat racism regardless of the race it may come from.


Is saying that someone is black racist?

Yes if you're just saying someone is black doesn't mean that they are racist they are just little bit incorrect because if you see an African American and you say hey there's a black person then that's wrong because im not black im brown but no that doesn't make you a racist I didn't want to edit what the previous answers were because I wanted other people to see them. I say no, as long as it's used descriptively and not in a derogatory way. However, many people do feel that calling a person black is offensive and may react to being called that. So, if you don't know the person well, it might be best to either ask what they want to be described as or call them African American.


Is it racist to tell racist jokes when you're that race?

Making racist jokes, even when you belong to the race being targeted, can still perpetuate harmful stereotypes and contribute to a culture of intolerance and discrimination. It's important to be mindful of the impact these jokes can have on others and to choose humor that promotes inclusivity and respect.


Were most greasers racist?

No, are you kidding me. Greaser is simply a term for a subculture that originatied in the late 40's to early 50's and continued on being a mainstream thing until 65-66 or so. However, this isnt to say there arent plenty of greasers out there. No, they are not racist, most are made up of Whites and Hispanics who just like cars, old rock n' roll music (witch is orriginated as a cross between Southern White and Black music), and just the general mood of the 50's. Nothing racist about them.


What percentage of the world's population is still racist in 2009?

% No percentage is valid. The answer can only be based upon conjecture. A percentage would be based on an accurate measurement of the population divided by the number of people who are racist. And there are multiple definitions of "racist." For example, one definition states that anyone who has the prejudiced view that any race is superior to another is racist. Another states that one who simply engages in racial intolerance is racist, though this person may not necessarily believe that one race is superior. Either connotation could be correct, but would lead to a different percentage. Psychologists have multiple ways and opinions of who, and to what degree, individuals are considered racist. And it would depend on what definition they chose. Suffice it to say that everyone is likely to agree that there has always been racism, and might conclude that there always will be.

Can you get expelled from school for being racist?

Forbeing racist, no, for being openly racist, yes. I knew a boy who was expelled from my high school for racist behavior towards a darker skinned girl (she is actually white, but looks Hispanic or some darker ethnicity). It depends on the school, or the district, but I'd say most schools have a zero-tolerance policy towards racism, especially if it's violent.

Do white boys espically teens like indian girls teens well i'm in primary school soon to go high school and there was a guy i liked and i'm indian and i don't know if i have much chance as hes white?

well, I don't know much about your school, or the boy you like, but unless he's particularly racist you have the same chance as anyone else. but I wouldn't say there was an especially preferred race for teenage boys, it would depend on the boy.
