Yours would be one example.

as far as the question?? I think I get what youre saying.... the answer is yes. If you dislike all minorities based on the assumptions that they fit each respective social stereotypes you are still racist.

If you had bothered to look up the definition of "racist". You would have your answer. |

Even if you hate all races equally you're still bigoted.
How is hating somebody based on race even relevant anymore?

Another question: if someone makes negative remarks based on someone elses race, yet he doesnt believe in the superiority of any race, is that person a racist? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
