How does that make you racist?

It was a joke. You really need to get your joke meter fixed. Put on some clown makeup and go for a drive, you'll feel better🙂

Sorry, I forgot to calibrate it for lame unfunny comments. 😛
 
I believe all people are racist to some degree. Because the word "racist" has a negative connotation, being one is looked down upon.

But hell, it's hard to ignore that we look different, and that's honest truth. Do I think racism is justified? No. But it is the norm.

Maybe.. although most of my negative opinions are based on how I see a person's clothing, behavior, and speech.

I cant stand lazy english regardless of race.

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.

Right you are.

A white man approves! :heart:
 
Absolutely

I am prejudiced to every race (even my own). I crack jokes about every race.
 
going by the NAACP definition then no

common sense definintion then yes I have probably discriminated against someone because of their race
 
Racism is intolerance based on race. You can be intolerant of other things and asepcts of life but that doesn't make you a racist.

In anycase, no, I don't judge people by their "race".
 
Since I still use the original definition of the term and do not believe my race is inherently superior to any other race no I am not a racist.

thats actually not the "original" definition at all.
the term means to suggest that certain differences in humans are determined by their race above anything else...with a secondary (and later) meaning that one race is inherently superior to another. it does not, however, matter if you happen to be a part of the race you find to be superior.
 
I put no, but as much as everyone would like to believe they are colorblind, I don't think anyone really is.
