Bill Cosby said this in a skit.
"I hate everybody. I'm a true racist. There are only two of us in the world and, I don't like him either."

:its funny cause certain groups do have certain "habits" that are sometimes genetic, sometimes learned or a combo of both.
multiple times people have asked me about the group(s) i have been involved with on a daily basis for 3 years or so. i have awesome relationships with most of the "group" i work with...there are asses in every section of society...hope its ok to say that...anyhow i derive my info from direct observation and from the mouth of the source. incidentally the most negative things i hear are from members of that very group...go figure..and the sub groups talk MAJOR trash about each other. which i guess is ok????
a few times people have been offended when i tell them exactly what i have seen and experienced. as if its my fault that the group does these things. usually the offended has had little to NO contact with the group they are "defending".
thanks for the replies, the majority were helpful.
the replies in this thread only reinforce my notion that i am not a racist(IMO). its sad that many citizens of this world are unable to handle the truth and want a sugar coated view of it to make their insulated lives all the more numb and painless and by denying the truth they make themselves feel special and helpful.....god forbid they clean their own house 1st.
so I'm going to say it..many* older middle aged Anglo men are fairly boring and complacent with mediocrity...there i said it crucify me. ..that was a piece of humor with some truth to it.

Its racist to be ignorant, but not in a despicable way.
Its racist to hurt someone because of their race, in a despicable way.
Most of society separates into clans of similar race, and so lack exposure most people by default are ignorant/racist. Its not a bad thing, but something to regret because other cultures have a lot to experience.
