    I agree with the first part...every race is racist and saying one is more racist than another is like the tallest midget contest.

    I disagree with whites don't hate on other whites. Intra-race hate is based on class. Whites in West U. aren't going to happy sharing a dinner table with whites from Liberty County, etc.

    It's not really helpful to say every race is racist and it doesn't address the question. 1. It's human nature to think inductively and to stereotype. 2. A good percentage of a race will always be racist. Of course you can claim every race is racist.

    The question is which race is most racist. That means take the definition of racism and qualitatively compare it by degree amongst races. I think the variance in the degree of racism is notable and not just "comparing height in a midget contest."

    Also, the original poster maybe should have asked, "Which demographic of people is the most prejudice?" Race and racism have a much more constrained, narrow definition angled towards physical traits.

    And yes, I didn't actually answer the question myself, so feel free to shat on me. :grin:

    Probably Mexicans and White Supremecists because they wave mexican and nazi flags with pride. J/K i am mexican and have a lot of white friends including my wife. Don't really think it is a big thing in America dude, if you think about it, racism has been outlawed via affirmative action. Rap music in the the 90's changed the game. Everybody of all races can go to college now. There really aren't any excuses for being an idiot anymore.

    Europeans ain't that racist, don't judge by some stupid reports in US-tv. By my experience, a lot of black people are really racist. You know Dave Chappelle is really exaggerating and i enjoed his show too, but the sad part is many blacks really think that way about whites, asians or latinos.

    Racism has nothing to do with social status, when I think of racism I think of people associating negative feelings towards a specific colour. Intra-race racism is based on skin tone shade, not on where someone lives.

    IMHO it has everything to do with ignorance. We are all human. You don't have to like me as long as I have a right to be.

    I used to date a black woman. (I'm Asian).

    Black guys would openly hit on her right in front of me. Maybe it was sheer disrespect or they just assumed an Asian guy and black girl would never date. She was French too but I don't think that mattered. Believe me - black guys can be very racist.

    Also used to know a white guy with A Chinese wife who thought that it was wrong for Asian girls to date Asian guys. He has since totally recanted but it shows you something of the male mindset when it cones to interracial dating. That and Amy Tan.

    American blacks have been annihilated for as long as they have been in America.


    It is absurd that some of you throw out American blacks as "the most racist".

    Black people cannot be racist. White people and other races have NEVER been disenfranchised at the benefit of blacks. There has never been a time in history where white, asians, hispanics or any other race have been disenfranchised at the BENEFIT of blacks.

    Even if you grant the premise, for the sake of argument, that there has never been a time in history when another race was disenfranchised at the benefit of blacks, that does not prove that black people cannot be racist. Racism means that you judge people by the color of their skin (and generally that those with the same skin color as you are inherently superior to others), not that you are the dominant race in a society to the detriment of another race. The lowliest slave can be racist, while a prince my have all the benefits of a society to the detriment of all other races, and not have a racist thought.

    I once took a black girl out to eat. We were just classmates, and it was after the final examination. We got some stares from black guys. But we still had a good time.
