Do you think everyone is racist or prejudicial to some extent?

In my opinion I think everyone has prejudicial tendencies. People tend to take experiences with a certain group of people place it on their race as a whole. I don't think its anyone's fault exactly but mostly due to our culture and the media's depiction of certain groups. I'm not talking about treating anyone differently or thinking one's superior to the other but subconsciously believing stereotypes like being afraid of black people, thinking all white people are racist, all asians are naturally smart etc.

So.. Discuss.

Everyone's a little bit racist sometimes
Doesn't mean we go around committing hate crimes
Look around and you will find
No one's really colorblind
Maybe it's a fact we all should face
Everyone makes judgments based on race

Yes.

yaaas

Yes so stop reporting me you hypocrites!

yes

Came here to post that

Nope, speak for yourselves.

Nnnn not the post right after me thinking the exact same thing upon seeing this thread.

Yes.

Maybe prejudice, I wouldn't go as far to call them racist

No and it's dumb as hell when people enforce that idea, because it will tell people that, that feeling is okay and create a never ending process of rinse and repeat of "it's ok if i'm a little racist this sometimes, everyone is". It's keeping humanity from progressing as a whole imo

Yes. It's not even just a psychological but a biological experience.

Doesn't mean your behaviour needs to align with this though.

Well yes and no, if you are using this to justify your behavior then that's most certainly not okay. It means you are actually being racist but accepting that you can't change it. It's like you are giving in to prejudice.

No, there is a difference between ignorance and racism.

Where is this from? Reads like a Macklemore song.

Yes.

I'm not a racist.

I've only ever judged white people and it's because I believe most of them are racist.

But you can't really blame me for thinking that. A lot of white people are racist. They're in a position of power and they've abused that power so many times in the past. They still do in more subtle ways.

But that doesn't mean I believe all white people are evil. I know some of them are totally cool people.

wait - its actually does
