POLL: Are you a racist?

Sure I've discriminated for and against people because of their race before. I don't think racism is always a negative term.

I've never done it to the point where it will harm someone.

Anyone who says they haven't considered a persons skin color as a factor in a decision they've made at some point in their life is just a liar.
 
I am sure that I would be considered so by some. Everyone would be considered so by someone. No one is so politically correct that they are exempt from the label.

And some are so enormously politically correct that you know they're hiding something.
 
I'm surprised at the poll results - not because I didn't think people here were racist, but because I thought it was subconscious for most of them.
 
I have decided I don't like Indians, but it's not because of the colour of their face, it's because of their culture. My experience so far has been nagative, and it will probably impact future relations with Indian people. Sure, I have met one of two who are OK, but they seem to be predominantly not OK in their behaviour.
That's not to say I want to beat to death all Indians I see, but I will likely carry a negative view of them in the future. (I grew up in the countryside with little to no enthnic minorities, it was 99% white people, 80% old people).

Anyone who makes absolute generalizations without qualifiers is a liar.

zomg, paradox
 
Like the song goes....

Ev'ryone's a little bit racist
Sometimes.
Doesn't mean we go around committing
hate crimes.
Look around and you will find
No one's really color blind.
Maybe it's a fact we all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.
