I never said I haven't - besides my mis-vote on the poll, and above, I said I have - I'm merely stating that its a possibility. In addition, I think that actually being racist requires a little more than laughing at the occasional joke. Most people here would never actually discriminate against anyone or judge them because of their race alone, because they know it's a ****** thing to do. You could argue that we're all subconsciously racist, but its more significant and problematic to actually act on these prejudices and consciously believe that they hold any weight. I wouldn't consider a person to be a racist if they actively seek to treat everyone equally even with the prejudices society and culture may have ingrained in their subconscious.
