Are you or is anyone in your family racist?

What are your views on racism?

Debate!
 
October 20, 2013
A group of 10 black youths — one of them a 12-year-old girl — surrounded a white couple's car in Brooklyn, viciously beating the husband and yanking the wife to the pavement by her hair as they peppered the two with racial slurs, authorities said.

“Get those crackers!” some of them screamed, according to court papers. “Get that white whore!”

For 20 years ago in my country, saying Neger(n-word) was allowed. Now it isn't anymore because many people used it as a bad meaning. Kids are beeing told to say Mørkhudet(Dark skinned)
 
Those who are ignorant, and who also wish to be offended, have objected to the use of the word "niggardly" (which means stingy or dealing in a meagerly way with someone) and the Spanish word for the color black which is "negro".

And, as is the way of things, they are having their way, instead of educating themselves as to the proper use of the language.
 
Yeah.. And there's one thing to point out when we talk about racism; When people hear the word Racism, they always think on white people being racist to the black ones. Why is this so? Now in 2013?
 
I'm not Racist, neither is my family, we all know that racism is the biggest source of injustice and troubles.
 
I've known a friend who is far beyond racist. He was known to using slurs against black people, Latinos, Asians, and even the gay people.

And you're still his friend?
 
There are no racists in my family and nobody I am close to is racist. I don't like to surround myself with those types of people. Disliking someone for their outward appearance / ethnicity is stupid. Its what's on the inside that matters. If someone has an ugly personality, only then will I start to dislike them, no matter what they look like on the outside.
