You think racist people are un-educated?
 

Im no racist but i do use common sense, if a bounch of thugs looking fuckers are hanging out in a street corner im not going over there. In NY, i have never experianced racism. Its pretty much impossble because we are so multiracial here. Thats why i love NY. :thumbsup

So anyways, do you think racist people are un-educated?

I think everyone is racist, just that un-educated people more often dont hide it with fake political correctness.

well first lets get a definition of racist. racist is someone who is primarly concerned with race . . from the dictonary. the most racist people I have ever met in my entire life were all blacks and young mexicans . . now are you asking if blacks are uneducated?

Really? Lol

Well, like i said we here have all kinds of people here. So, you're pretty much forced to accept them and their culture.

What about Crown Heights, theres still tension it just takes something to unleash it:2 cents:

Isn't it mostly how people are brought up ??

I agree Xlogger. NY is the least racist place in the USA. It's a beautiful thing.


I don't think racism has anything to do with education as much as it does exposure. If you are exposed to different cultures in a real way you are less prone to have racist feelings about them. At the end of the day racism is usually just someone fearing/hating something different than them.

Now, I'm not sure if this explains Pimpdog but it might.

:thumbsup That's pretty much it. Every human is racist to an extent, the uneducated just happen to blurt out what everyone else is thinking. Go to Mississippi for prime examples of this :1orglaugh

no. this is a question of angryness, mutual not understanding, cruelty in the heart.

I think most people are racist because it allows them to put themselves above others through birthright without actually earning their level on merit and hard work. Kinda like how rich people feel about the poor, but without the cash! LOL

In any regard, racism is bullshit! I live in Vancouver which is just as ethnically diverse as New York; in fact the whities are in the minority when all races are counted here! LOL And the more racially diverse people you encounter in your everyday life, the more you realize that we are all just people, and losers / jerks / assholes are found in EVERY race! LOL

i suddenly remember the movie American History X again.
when the guy scinhead found himself in jail among blacks. He was lucky he stayed alive, but that made him change the mind about racism.
