<p>In this day and age (present day), who, in your experience, is more racist, black people or white people (in general)? This is obviously opinionated and not supported by facts, so provide examples.</p>
<p>I've never seen the white perspective, so I can't say for sure, but being a black person, I've noticed that African-Americans are VERY racist. I hear the conversations, and the whole idea that you must "stay black". Not to mention the kids more or less disown anyone who doesn't adher to the strict stereotype of what it means to be "black". Even the older ones do. I can't count how many times that I have, while relaxing in the park on a Sunday morning, have been approached by a guy telling me that "The man is out to get you, so you have to go to church to learn how to be strong and work to support your 'own'".</p>
<p>Still white people against black people. My school administration is completely racist. If a black girl wants to move up to an honors class it becomes a big ordeal, but if a white girl asks theyre usually just like oohhh okay, you've got B's, that's fine.</p>
<p>I still see racism daily, lots, it's just subtle and in a more "acceptable" form like raiderade has given.</p>
<p>That said, from my very very very limited personal experiences, I'd go with White people.</p>
<p>It's definitely the Asians. :)</p>
<p>If I had to choose between white and black, I'd say there's more overt racism among blacks. However, I'd say there's a greater amount of non-obvious racism among whites, like reduced expectations or making general assumptions. You can't really say one is greater than the other. It just seems like a racist white person is more likely to be ashamed of it or see that it would make them look bad and attempt to conceal it.</p>

<p>No, I see what you mean ThisCouldBeHeaven. I'd say that "white pride" doesn't exactly exist.</p>
<p>Well, a cousin of mine (Ph.D program at Stanford) was racially assaulted (pulled a couple of knives on him, broken bones, fun stuff...) by white people while at a conference in London earlier this year...</p>
<p>It depends where you're from in the country and what race is in the majority...</p>
<p>I say "pride" itself is just the predecessor to "racism" :)</p>
<p>Not pride in one's self; just pride in a collectivist kind of way.</p>
<p>This question is pretty damn impossible to answer - so much cultural and sociological variability. But to be honest, I don't think it really needs to asked anyways. :)</p>
<p>Everyone's a little bit racist. So basically pick your poision./end thread</p>
<p>Well, I don't know about things in general, but I DO know that I am racist to some degree. Or maybe I just like to stereotype. But stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, despite what many other people would say.</p>
<p>Why do you always start threads that have absolutely no meaning, and on very controversial topics? Just curious.</p>
<p>I think they are interesting...helps me procrastinate.</p>

<p>I'm sorry Gryffon5147, would you prefer I start a "Rank the Ivies from Best to Worst Thread" instead? Because all you seem to be interested in is talking about expensive, superficial colleges. Next time I'll try a topic more worthy of your time. :)</p>
<p>C'mon, there's gotta be more racists on these boards...</p>
<p>i'd say asians. the area i live in is open to blacks and whites...asians [including indians] and other minorities are looked down upon. if you're an asian, you're a nerd. i know i'm being stereotypical but in general terms, i'd say people are racist more towards asians in my school probably b/c whites and blacks are considered "gansta". nonetheless, racism occurs everywhere and anywhere, all races.</p>
<p>I'd say there is equal racism pointed towards blacks and whites, but whenever someone says anything racist about blacks, angry mob + ruined reputation, but whenever someone says something about white people, chuckle chuckle. </p>
<p>In my school, you can tell a major racist jab/joke against white people, a minor racist thing towards other races (asians), but god forbid you use black and fried chicken in the same sentence... even when analytically examining a stereotype. Of course, black people in that case would be least likely to pounce on you if they realized you meant it nonseriously. Silly white liberals getting offended and riled up on everyone else's behalf.</p>
<p>Anyone taken the IAT
here's the link <a href="https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/%5B/url%5D">https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/</a>
it tests all different common prejudices</p>
<p>My take on it?</p>
<p>Black people are more racist in general. They are more likely to make intentional (or careless) racist comments because no one gives two ****s if they do. While the comments alone don't make me angry, it's the fact that they are freely allowed to say it that bothers me while the newspaper would have a field day if I made a comment on their level.</p>
<p>White people take racism to the extreme, but less often are racist than black people. White racists tend to keep their real thoughts inside of them because they know the consequences. Only the insane ones do racist things.</p>
<p>Let me also be one of the first to say that it annoys me how black people seem to need their own lifestyle that screams black for them. They like to define themselves by their skin color, which to me is shallow.</p>
<p>I am not a racist, I'm an observationist (word?).</p>
