Why are some white Americans so racist?

I think America is the only country that still hates on the basis of color and race. Every other country, though slow in economics and technology, has learned to appreciate everybody. Maybe they do hate and have segregation on the basis of economics or social class but I doubt it has anything to do with color or facial features. I don't hate anybody because of their color because everyone is unique.

You apparently don't know much about world issues. Ever heard of apartheid? And it's not just whites. There are a lot of other "colors" here that are every bit as racist and more. Of course they often use the excuse that they've been oppressed and somehow they're entitled. Here's the facts; There was never a member of my family who owned a slave, but yet, I get lumped in with every other white because a relatively few whites owned some slaves more than 144 years ago. For at least a half century there hasn't been a person alive in this country who ever owned a slave. Same goes for anyone who ever was a slave. So you tell me who's racist. And remember...a lot of good white men lost their lives so that a lot of good black people didn't have to be slaves anymore.
And regarding Robbie Love's statement below - "The governement owes women and people of color an advantage to obtainng employment for the many years these people were denied employment due to their race and or gender." This is a load of horse crap!! A person is entitled to nothing more than to work for what they get. The mentality of entitlement is the biggest fuel there is to racism in this country. You want to get rid of racists? Get rid of those who always have their hands out, thinking that they're entitled!

Why are some black Americans so racist? Why are some Asian Americans so racist. Why are you so racist?

Every other country appreciates everybody? Get real? You think they believe that in Saudi Arabia? Iran? Pakistan?

Don't be so ignorant and racist! White people are people too, just like every other shade!

It's not only Caucasians who are the racists of the world.

Why are there so many people love throwing out the race card and pointing the finger when it takes two? You might also be confusing 'dislike' or 'anger' with "racism."

Ever hear how it's "immoral" to be proud of your white heritage? Like Shawnn said, the government plays a huge part in all of this. Check out the following link:

You aren't serious are you?

America is the only country that still hates based on race? The only countries that have no racism are countries where every single person is the same race.

As for your original question, there is no good explanation for anyone being racist. White Americans aren't the only ones though.

Why are some people of any race racists? Stupidity is rampant, especially in the people who generalize everything (thats you by the way).

What color is the sky in your world??
Be a white boy in s. Africa
A Christan in any Nazislamic Fascist country
A white man in Thailand
A white man in Hawaii (oh that's sort a part of USA)
Racism is still everywhere

In America the government plays into racism.The politicians make policy's that are racist against white people,For example affirmative action.The best person should get hired regardless of race.In America the government passed laws that required companies to hire less qualified people based on race and gender alone,this is wrong,and feeds racism.Without these programs race would be less of an issue in our country.

Just tired of the non-white expecting something simply because of the color of their skin. Makes you wonder if the white people are the racist ones.

The same reason that all ethnicities and all races have a small percentage of people who refuse to accept anything different from themselves.
This phenomenon is not limited to caucasian Americans.

There isn't one ethnic group in America that is not bigoted against another. You want to single out whites, but white people have to take crap from every non-white ethnic group in this country. No racial group is innocent of racism, so it's really pointless to ask about whites when racism is aimed at them too.

Don't feel bad about all the answers you got.You just didn't take a look at the real world.The US didn't invent Racism,in fact compared to most of the world we're way better.You should be proud of that.

This question has been answered by you people so well! I love America, where the only place I've seen Racism is in California where the schools are unified, which means they are segregated.

Every country has its racists. There are radical Muslims in the Middle East who hate Americans for no reason. There are Christians getting killed in Asia. It's not a country matter, for there are plenty of non-racist Americans, Muslims, and Asians.

I'm white and this is totally BS
because my job I find myself
to deal with group of latino or black people
when this people see a white person
they right aways prejudge like a potential racist
and that really hurt me because It's not who I am

I feel very uncomfortable to deal with this people
cause they have the arrogance to accuse you
before they learn anything about your personality

my personal experience latino and black people
are very racist against white and especially latino.

Guess you didn't realize that the guy who almost won the presidency in France wants to kick out all of the Muslims or that the Dutch have made it illegal to migrate to there country period. Actually most of Europe is torn between wether or not to allow Muslims to move in.

And the reason for this, Muslims won't let people who are not Muslim move into many of the neigborhoos they live in. They won't sell to non-Muslims. Then they implement radical rules, which pass because everyone in the area is of the same religion. They even have areas in France where they won't let the police go.

And lets not forget about Mexico and there bouts of dislike for there poorer southern border neighbors. They shoot them for illegaly crossing and are quite disliking of them. Kind of hypocritical of them to scream and shout at us about our policies when their policies are something out of the 1800's.

What about Niger. Kidnappings are going wild right now. Some countries are telling there citizens to get out of the country because they are not safe. All across Africa there are stories of this tribe killing that tribe, whites vs. blacks.

Every country in the world has racism. You just hear about it more here becuase everyone has to pick someone to hate and guess what, America is it.

Last time I checked the American government had no established policy on who it's citizens should hate, could hate or must hate.
That kind of thinking is left up to the individual in America.
No matter what color the individual is red,yellow, black or white.
Each individual in America makes the choice to accept whatever, whoever, whenever and form their own opinions about everything and anything at anytime.
We are a free country with people of every color who are:

Free to hate whoever, whenever, wherever.
Free to love whoever,whenever, wherever.
Does your country or skin color dictate your beliefs? That would totally stink.

All races of people consist of all types of people. Some are more racist than others. I'm not saying that all people are the same, but the various groups contain all types.

I have noticed that these days peoples racism is more subtle than it used to be. There doesn't seem to be hatred as much as ignorance.


YankeeBelle
Are you sure about that. That is some question you are asking sine you just LOVE everyone.

GO TO SCHOOL GET AN EDUCATION AND LOOSE YOUR IGNORANCE.

There is NO reason for ignorance nowadays. Everyone here in this country, legal and illegal is guaranteed a free education for 12 YEARS. I suggest that you start yours.

Americans aren't racist. What is racist about wanting to have illegal aliens STOPPED and the companies who hire responsible for their actions? You posted your question in the "Immigration" part of the questions...I LOVE immigrants, I just can't stand the illegal aliens that there are in the US because they are taking the jobs away from the Americans and it isn't just field jobs but construction and skilled labor jobs that Americans have used to make America what it is today. All we ask is that you do it LEGALLY!

Maybe it's the fact that for years we have had racism shoved down our throats,yes there was slavery here 100's of years ago we are not responsible for that, we don't own anyone now,but we still have to put up with the continuation of that mindset with programs like affirmative action. Or maybe the fact that illegal immigrants come here and get benefits that we don't when they shouldn't be receiving anything but a ticket back home. Or maybe the fact that all we hear from the supporters of illegal immigration is that we are racist when actually we are just defending our rights as citizens of this country. And finally I am not racist but I will stand up for my rights.

My vote for most ignorant question, from a person that clearly knows nothing about the rest of the world. Have you ever heard of Iraq dude? In Iraq they kill each other with total hatred due to you have a different last name. Most other countries are pretty much one race, so that is usually not an issue, they still find plenty of other reasons to have civil wars and other ****. Some of that of course has been the fault of Russia, USA and other super powers that constantly interfer in other countries for economic and religious purposes.
