Actually, Id say people probably think im a racist. I dont think of myself as one.....however, I have "opinions" about "those people" and about "these people" and about "them people."
If they arent like me, I dont care for them much.
They're all wrong because their way of life is different from mine.

Racism==belief that one race is superior to an entire other race, no. I do, however, believe that stereotypes exist FOR A REASON.

I agree; stereotypes do exist for a reason. And I think that the naive are the ones who's opinions arent similar to the stereotypes just because it's politcally wrong.
People would call me racist. I don't understand people, lets use Mexicans as an example because I've experienced this recently, who are extremely proud of their culture. They listen to tons of latino rap music, talk constantly about how things are done "in Mexico," etc.
I think Jerry Springer said it best: 'How can you be proud of something you had no control over?' He used this at the end of a show about members of the KKK.
I see how you'd be proud of what your ancestors have done, such as great grandparents, but as a European-American I am not proud of what one of my people, Leonardo Da Vinci, did. I regard him as a great man, and I respect him, but the only way I am proud of him is in admiring what humans are capable of. I feel the same way about Ghengis Khan, a non-European.
And as someone who is constantly around people of hip-hop styles, I can say that I am starting to be racist towards some black people. I understand they're not all like this because I've seen it, but there are tons that are extremely loud, dishonest, aggressive, and sheeplike in their following of what the media tells them to do. Those people piss me off, and yes I discriminate against a guy wearing a huge Fubu shirt, sideways cap, baggy pants, and the newest Nike shoes. Because in my experience, 99% of the time he is a jackass.

Im probably 40% racist, but I really cant stand racist people. Especially racist white people. Racist black people are a step behind.
