The uneducated person simply believes what he's told, or what he falsely perceives, about a certain race, and hates the race for it.

The educated person knows these perceptions to be false, yet still hates the race.

In this case the educated person is morally inferior to the stupid redneck.

It depends on why the person hates the race, if the Person hates a race because of their looks or culture Religion then they are just stupid.

But if you hate a group of people from a certain country which destroyed your country TWICE in the past 20 years then it is not your fault you hate them. I am a musim from Lebanon so you can just guess which country I hate.

so what is racism anyways...

according to the dictionary it is this:

"a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others."

which is why racism is stupid

Many cultures only insist on staying with there own kind. In US if you are black or white and you insist on staying with your own you are a racist. Hispanics are next on the list, then the Asians.

I think people get confused about racisim and sociology. People tend to like things like themselves.

Studies have shown the most dicrimanated have been overweight people and elderly.

I have a freind that hates blacks but he is married to a black girl. She is not a mix she is black. Is racism , racism or just a stereo type. example if you are white; what are you more affaid of...walking on to a all black collage campus or into a biker bar of all white guys.

why are you afraid...some would say racism. why are you racist of your own. No it is stero type. I personally don't believe that racism is the correct word.

100% right. I'm not going to hate a black person because of his skin color. I don't like a lot of black people because they are a certian negative stereotype.

Racist.

There is no ****ing excuse for arbitrarily hating another race.

DJ_Novakain

maybe it's based on experiences.

my uncle is a white guy who went to an all black schools when he was a kid. he used to get his butt kicked every day by the other kids so thats probably the cause of his attitudes.

I assume thats a joke...

A lot of people are confusing the term "racism" with "ethnocentrism," which is understandable (and happens frequently). If his motives are informed by perceived biological and physiological differences (which are primarily cosmetic), he is racist. If his hatred or superiority complex is informed by his study of and position on a given culture and the ethnic/racial groups related to said culture, he is ethnocentric. One poster made an astute point: people often choose to ignore more complex aspects of racism and ethnocentrism, and simply state that they hate racists, or that racists are ignorant. Few people will argue with such an assertion, but it doesn't provide any further understanding or knowledge. It's a simplistic and ineffectual gesture reflecting what has become the norm in Western culture.

Also, intelligence and racism do not exist exclusively from one another. What is the criteria for measuring intelligence?

Another poster considered anti-racists and considered the dichotomy that exists between racists and anti-racists. I don't believe you can equate racism with the vague concept of hatred. Anti-racism manifests itself differently among groups of people and from individual to individual, while racism generally does not. I hate a lot of people, and that hate isn't analagous to racism. Why? Because context is everything.

I have seen a well educated racist. I saw a KKK ring-leader on 60 Minutes. He had to have made it through the grueling 4 years we call "second grade."

then what is the term for a person who is in his 40s, and has studied the culture of the people he hates? What if he is completely educated, a successful person, and willfully chooses to be a racist?

What do you call those people?

As I said in a different post, they aren't all smart. Several of my Asian friends get horrid grades.

As for the tight family, that's vaguely true. I could say that a lot of Asian parents in that area/generation are strict with their children, but then I have met some aren't, and some kids that hate their parents for being so strict.

Family is more into 'culture', not stereotypes.
