I'm not racist against PEOPLE, but there are some CULTURES that have some.. undesirable traits that I don't particularly appreciate. I try to judge people I meet in life based on their actions, not their race, and color to me is irrelevant. But cultures like the lebanese culture (which I grew up around a TON of lebanese) has some rather.. distasteful customs.. Young men tend to be encouraged to sow their wild oats with white girls, and they were never afraid to smack them around (encouraged to in fact), and I always hated seeing my friends who were stupid enough to put up with it just because the guy was super hot (I must admit, there are some SUPER GORGEOUS Leb men out there). But the women within their own culture HAVE to put up with it. These boys go and marry women in their own culture, and they might beat their wives to a pulp, and it is all ok. The ONLY upside I found to their system was how their children are raised to treat their mother. Mommy can get the shit kicked out of her by daddy, but if those kids even THINK about talking back to their mother, daddy kicks their asses. Lebanese children are NOT to disrespect their mothers, no matter what. Respect by fear isn't good, but it's a step in the right direction, sort of.
Those type of cultural traits I dislike, but there's things I dislike about western cultures too, so I guess in a way I'm "culturist" as opposed to racist.
