20 years ago racism was because of peoples under-informed opinion, today its bases on facts and actions documented by media. Racism is the people saying "I have been tolerant for to long now - now its time for people to show some respect back"
People hate Muslims: because they are the breeding ground of extremism as a result of the Koran that is a religion based on Absolutism's (just Like Bush's "either with us or against us")
People hate Africans because we keep helping them, but they still - 20 years later - cant run their own fucking country's without killing each other (I spend time in Zimbabwe and south africa .. I have seen it with my own eyes)
I'm not a racist, but people think I am...
I treat everybody equal - based on what they do... just happens that most people from Africa is fucked up, ignorant and lazy. I call it like I see it - like it or not.

Very well put
Too many people are quick to label someone racist based on that person's dislike of a certain race or colour due to their overwhelming experience with that particular group of people.
Take Toronto, for instance...one of the most diverse ethic melting pots in North America. I lived in Toronto throughout the 80s - and during that time I couldn't help but notice that every neighbourhood where caucasians moved away from - became basically slums (especially in the suburbs). In the 70s and early 80s much of Toronto's northeast end (Scarborough) was predominantly white caucasian population. By the end of the 80s, it was heavily dominated by blacks, east Indians and asians. And if you were to compare photos of the neighbourhoods alongside of crime statistics - you'd plainly see the vast differences over the course of just a few decades.
In opening the immigration doors - Canada has stopped being selective of who gets in. And as a result, we've ended up with far too many undesirables that come here from 3rd world shitholes and start insisting we change our customs, traditions and way of life to resemble the cesspools they sought to escape. They insisted they want their children to carry Khirpans to school (a religious ceremonial dagger to them...considered a weapon to us). They cried racism when we disallowed them to wear their turbans in a Canadian Legion - to the point where we were forced to relent or be labeled racists and bigots. They want street signs changed from English to reflect the languages of their old countries (despite the fact all of Canada is only legally considered bilingual - French & English). The daily examples go on and on...
We are witnessing a slow but determined erosion of our own time-honoured culture and heritage...one established by generations of our forefathers, the ones who worked hard (and died in defense of) to build this country in to what it is today. To protest against the erosion is to be labeled a racist, because nothing gets more media attention than labeling someone a racist.
I'm not a luddite - I'm tolerant of change...IF it is good. But changing something to reflect the same standards of a failed 3rd-world society is NOT good. I've had black, asian and east Indian friends and acquaintances over the years, and have heard the more intelligent ones among them echo the exact same sentiments. They must show respect in order to earn it - a concept many of them fail to grasp. Instead, they bully us with an attitude of entitlement...and then cry foul if we call them out on it.
And most depressingly, the moment they start crying...the media is more than happy to park a camera in front of them for the nightly news.
