Are you racist?
As my favorite song in Avenue Q goes,
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 color blind.
Maybe it's a fact
We all should face
Everyone makes judgments
Based on race.
So spill it nesties. What are you racist about? What stereotypes to do find yourself using? Do you make off color jokes?

I joke sometimes but it's more about myself. I'm 1/2 Korean so if someone says something like "you must be good at math" for instance I usually respond with "just my right side...my left side sucks at *fill in the blank*."
I also lock my doors if I am driving in certain areas that are a little sketchy (okay I used to manually lock my doors until I got a much nicer car that does it as soon as I move it out of park). Sure I grip my purse a little tighter if I am walking in an area where the people are a little scary looking...but I don't discriminate by race it's by whoever is creeping me out!

I actually agree with this, I used the term more to provoke a discussion that to actually imply that anyone was racist. I was hoping to provoke a discussion on the board. I don't consider myself racist but find myself quite often putting people into stereotypes. However, I recognize and am aware of my biases which I think it a huge step in the right direction.
So my next question along this topic to the board is this, what do you think when people say they are colorblind and don't see race?
They are full of crap (This reminds me of the office). I think it's important to recognize the fact that people are different and it's what makes them unique.
Mofe: My thoughts exactly. I'm so tired of people saying, "I don't see race". First of all, yes you do, and second, that is a good thing! We should celebrate our differences and the ways in which each person contributes to the richness of our society.
