People who write others off based on appearance are racists.
The world is full of them....black, white, brown, whatever.

There exists a serious double standard in this country that exclusively
effects caucasians. That's why there's no Ms. White America, or
White Firefighters Association, or White Police Association. And the
day an exclusively white organization is formed they'll be written off
as extremist or racist. Then they'd be chastised by the media and hords
of idiots like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, & Hiliary Clinton, who seek to
vilify any exclusive non-black organization.

I agree. But it seems that only whites are called on it.

That's it. Game over. Thread is done. Move along.

Can anybody other than Caucasian be racist?

Yes and No.

A human of any race can hate a person of another race based solely on their racial differences.

Can any human be called a racist? No. Political Correctness has seen to it that the only group capable of being publicly called racist are caucasions.

For instance, Kanye West is unquestionably a racist. Since he is black, no one will ever call him that in public.

Well don't go thinking Asians get off the hook. Asian store owner shoots a minority trying to rob his store, he's a racist. If that same minority robber shoots the store owner while calling him racial slurs, not a racist.

Following through with this paart of the argument, would everyone here agree that what is often referred to as racism(hatred of a particular race) is actually, in most cases, more precisely termed culturalism(hatred of a particular culture)?

Yes and no. I think culture often produce racism or racialism. I think poor people tend to hate rich people.... "It's their fault I'm poor" or "they won't help me out" and wealthy tend to resent poor "Vermin" "Lowlifes" "Parasites." But all classes in a race tend to have generalized racial prejudice. "No I'm not racist, I have three black friends." "White man keeps up down." "White Americans are lazy and uneducated."

The most racist people I have ever met in my life were black.
I have met white people who were racist and Hispanics who were racist, but the worst by far were black.

To answer your question, yes anyone can be a racist.

I've surprisingly never met any racist Hispanics (at least overt and outward, anyway)....and I never thought of this until reading your post. Just to illustrate this point, I remember a few years ago, in the Sprinfield MA area, the HEAD of the LATIN KINGS was a white Italian kid named Michael Cecchetelli. I doubt you'd ever see "Paddy O'Door" heading up any local Black Panther chapters.

Um, LATIN doesn't mean HISPANIC. And that Michael's last name ends in a vowel...I bet his grandfather talked with his hands.

That being said, hell yes Hispanics can be racists. I remember being called a "Casper" and even having a knife pulled on me back in school because I was the only non-hispanic in my grade. I never could get along with them damn beaners...mind you, most Hispanics I know today do nothing of the like but that group I went to school with had massive chips on their shoulders...or thought being in a gang that picked on non-hispanics was cool.

Remember folks,
Blacks/ Latinos are "activists" not racists

Well, I asked it. You fuckers tell me.

Apparently a new member believes this is not so, and only skinhead fuckers such as I can be racist.

Now, I want NO bashing of any races in this thread, and no fucking racist comments; it's not only pointless but morally wrong. If you can't play nice, just give a simple Yes or No.

Our society has the belief in law and thought that only white people can be racist. Its defined as institutional racism: only the racial group in power can be racist, as the racism revolves around power. Blacks and Browns can't be racist, as their racial groups aren't in power in the country.

And THAT is the error. Racism is the treatment of people based entirely on their race. The perverted definition is straight from race-baiters. We have LAWS against institutional racism, have had them for over 40 years.

'Racist' has come to mean 'honkey' . I think 'bigot' has a little more traction.

'Black bigot', 'Asian bigot', and so on. Just because a person is blinded by prejudice is no reason to equate them with white people.

From what I've seen, the only racists are white people.

But in reality blacks are more racist. They just get away with it.

Of course. Anyone can be racist.

I'm reading "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" by Thomas Sowell right now... It is an eye opener to say the least... HIGHLY recommended)

Edit: Detroit is going through a horribly racist period right now. The predominantly black city council is talking all kinds of smack (including a motion to raise water rates FOR THE SUBURBS ONLY) and then the second anyone calls them on it they complain of racism...

They even made some "Plantation" remarks. Sickening to see race so openly used as a crutch.

Anyone can be racist, or other kinds of "ists". One of the worst groups I've ever encountered have been the American Jewish. To many of them anyone who is a non Jew is a goy, or worsh a shiksa (female) or shkutz (male). If you don't believe me and you're a non jew, try dating one and see how his/her relatives treat you. Funny, I've met jews that were here from Isreal and they weren't like this. Anyway, I experienced that many years ago, and maybe things have changed, but I doubt it.

I think most whites are some of the least racist people I've met, most whites just don't think about race that much, it's not a part of our daily lives. It certainly isn't a part of my daily life.

That should only happen if you work there, and even that SUCKS because you can't vote. Taxation without representation at its finest. But don't call them on it, you'll be racist.

Thanks for the book recommendation.

I've been occasionally looking at what Detroit and their city council have been pulling ever since I heard about the zoo bullshit.

if you want racism hang around japanese people. being from AL i'm familiar with racists, but the most racist person i've encountered was japanese.

Beat me to it. Especially from a historical standpoint. David Allen Coe would rather have Jesse Jackson to dinner than a Japanese having a Chinese or Korean to dinner. (*generalization, not true of ALL Japanese people.*)

It is racist to suggest that only one particular race can be racist.
We must all be equal opportunity racists. All must have thier fair chance to be a racist.
To say that only whites can be racists denys the other races the option to be racists. And that my friend is, well, racist.

But the way I see it is that if there's 100 non-white people and 1 white guy, and they're all racist, everyone will make it look like the white guy is the worst one there.

OR

White people will always stick out in the racist crowd
