The last bit of your question is cut off...but yes, it still exists. Unfortunately that gets a black eye because it seems like everyone will jump on the 'he arrested me because I was [Insert Ethnicity Here]'...

I think anyone that denies it exists is fooling themself. The flip side is if you over react to every subtle snub it only amplifys and spreads the predjudice. The biggest reason I have always objected to set asides. If you get privileges only because of your race there has to be someone who is short changed for not being of that race or doesn't claim to be of that race. With so many, in the USA at least, to try to define race gets real dicey. Hopefully as the younger people grow in accepting each other as humans rather than races these predudices will fade.

Racism is well and kicking in avery country of the globe . Denying this fact is just plain stupid . As long as we humans have different religions, colours, languages, nationalities, social status , intelligence ....etc we shall always have plenty of racism .

-isms occur everywhere. Anytime there is a comparison between one group and another it occurs.

here's why the topic was started.I'm an mutt, i'm half black and half white. But in today's society i'm look at as a black man. i'm not complaining or anything just that when it comes down to the way other people look at me the have no idea that i was raised by my white side,and grew up into my black side.And i'm saying all this to prove a point. if u look at my profile it says black. no where in the selection of choices does it say mixed or multi-background. I feel till that untill u can choose a more correct way of identifying ourselves that racism will never die.and i'm very sad to say that.

I think it's more economic status now but human beings will always fear what they don't understand so my answer is yes.

Then post a thread in the feedback section of the forums with your request. And if there isn't an option then you can always add that information to your profile.
Isn't there an 'other' option, but I could be wrong for those that don't fit into a generalize category. |

For the most part it is a lot easier to hate than it is to accept, just because you get to choose your background as multi or mixed does not mean suddenly racism is going to disappear... |

The key is to show your compassion for people as much as possible. It can be catchy, I had a guy help me move who when we first met was a big racist tats and all I just kept talking to him we found we had things in common. There is still alot we don't see eye to eye on he is still a racist but a repartee was started and that leads to the defeat of racism I think.

Racism, sexism,faith'ism' age discrimination...no lack of these, so sad to say.
We just keep trying to peck away at it as best we can in our own ways... I have a white co-worker who was pretty racist (are there degrees of racism etc?). She, to her credit, grew as a person, after her daughter became pregnant to a black man. She does not see the color of that adorable baby. I think it helped her see color less in other people too. Not a cure all but an improvement. |

the last part of the question was..." and does it effect the dating world"? Ooops Yes it effects the dating world. I think everyone; especially anyone who has been on the recieving end of predjudice, takes that experience into their personal choices. Because I dated interracially years ago when it was still very taboo I have had fall out about it in the present. Some choices have lasting implications when families are involved. Life experiences can too. I have a Viet Namese child and I have had responses both positive and negative from peer age veterans. |
