I too live in a big city (1,000,000+ pop). There are ghetto's scattered about. I go to university thats pretty much in the center of it, somewhat on the border of good vs. bad. One side of campus (after the college student buffer streets) is all upscale suburbia - the other side of campus (after the buffer streets full of college students) is straight ghetto.
I wasn't the slightest bit racist until i moved to this city - and was presented with SO MANY FUCKING REASONS to be racist against stupid, ignorant, trashy people.
Sadly - in my city, 95% of the stupid ignorant trashy people are black. Now - i work at a hotel, and we get stupid, ignorant and trashy people of every race, and i hate them all equally (especially white trash).
I feel as though since most of the contact with SIT (stupid, ignorant & trashy) individuals is with black people, I direct a larger percentage of my dislike towards them, but the color itself doesn't ever factor into the equation.

I guess I am a little racist. I do not believe that whites are superior to any other race. I believe humans are equal regardless of race. But I do admit that I prefer being around white people more. I just feel more comfortable around white people.

I am correctly racist, in that my opinions of people of other races are simply referring to them as people, not of their race, and that of them collectively, as a group of people.
I don't care what you say.

I am subjected more racism than i would ever be able to dish out and still call myself a good person. But im just naturally not racist and cant force myself to retaliate.

Well, since I moved to the worst area of my city I have to admit I've become somewhat prejudiced towards gypsies... it's too easy to make the association that every gypsy I see is a thief and can pull out a weapon at any time I try to avoid thinking like that, but I wouldn't lend my cell phone to them, some are always asking to "make just one call" But I've never gotten into a very bad situation and usually the people I find most threatening are white (like me). It's weird really, some people don't even have the guts to come here

i try really hard not to factor race into the equation, i think its only fair to give someone the benefit of the doubt and give them a chance, however i was raised in a racist household, and sometimes it just comes out unintentionally. ive been slowly reversing the damage my father has done when it comes to race relations lol. i say nigger alot, but i dont just aim it at blacks, i call alot of other people niggers. alot of white people ARE niggers.
as long as im MOSTLY not racist im good right? lol

if your whole family were a bunch of douche bags and you weren't anything like them, would you want to label as a douche bag?
sure, black people commit more crimes, but not all black people commit crimes. it's call stereotyping. the same way that some people label mushrooms users the same as meth addicts.

whatever. It depends on where you live. In a small town there is no need to be racist at all. in the inner city there is a reason to a small degree and that reason is your saftey. not so much racist as cautious. statistics don't lie. and I am a logical person. any logical person would know this.
What type of area do you live in Psilo? city or town?

I've been known to crack an insensitive joke every once in a while.
I have to say, though, I'm quite struck by the contrast I see between a lot of African Americans I see around town and the Nigerian family that lives next door to me. I guess I'm a culturalist.
