Everyone is a little racist...

Racist?.......not really.Dasc00

I wouldn't say racist. Maybe a slight racial bias, but not racist.Rhazakna

I usually create or pick female characters, because if I'm going to be staring at a VG character's onscreen antics for hours on end... well, you see what I'm saying. But I digress..

I don't really see myself as being racist. I might be more prone to noticing people of different racial backgrounds because I live in a society consisting mostly of whites, but that's about it.

Instead of hating a man that breaks into your home to steal your possessions, take pity upon him and do what you can to help because his life has not given him what yours has given you.Hexum-311

would you define your preference as an unreasonable opinion/feeling/attitude? I mean if you had two twins, who were exactly the same, really nice, beautiful, etc, except for some reason one was blonde and the other was brunnette, is it honestly a reasonable thing to do to go for the brunnette one because she has brown hair? I am not trying to call you racist or anything, just trying to show you why I have used the word racist within this kind of a context.eo12601

So you don't think that the fact that I'd rather have a male child over a female child is even a little bit racist? Or that I'd probably rather adopt a white kid than a black one? I mean, it seems racist to me. I know it is unfair, at any rate. eo12601

I'd say that everyone has inherent bias. It's partly human nature.sonicare

It makes sense

No.... Not me. I never was racist, never will be. I was raised in a bi-racial household, and my parents raised me to treat everyone the same regardless of their skin color. Racial slurs will never come from my lips, because I've been called a spic, a wetback, and a dirty halfcast, and I know how much those words hurt, so I will never say racial slurs.familyguy77

No, I'm not racially biased at all. Where I live, I am an extreme minority. Mostly everyone in my town is black, and the second largest are whites. I'd say I'm in one of about 4 hispanic families in my town. But back to the point, no, I'm not racially biased. I don't pre-judge a person by their race or anything like that. I wouldn't mind adopting a black child, race is simply irrelevant to me.
