After being on Yahoo! Answers for a couple of minutes you start to realize who the real racists are in this country. Sure there are many white people that make it their life to hate blacks, jews, asians, etc. However, it seems like every race finds it necessary to point the finger at whites. I just read a question that asked "why do whites think that asians eat dogs". I'm sorry but I was under the impression that was a idea that might be held by more people than just whites. I think now-a-days white people are one big scapegoat for other races. Maybe white people should start complaining about 'social injustices' as much as other races do. We get turned down for jobs and colleges just as much as blacks do, but instead it's because we are white and the spot needed to go to a black person to fill a quota. My wife is from another country and when applying to schools would constantly be told to put down that she was 'ethnic' because it would better her chances. That's racist isn't it.

Minorities say the most because they experience it the most. You don't see a great deal of white people saying "Oh, he was racist against me", despite this being true, it doesn't matter, because when he's pit up against a minority for a job, chances are the odds are in his favor. The white individual doesn't care as much about racism and isn't as angry about racism as the minority and doesn't rant as mucha bout it because it doesn't affect his opportunities in his life. And the minorities that voice out, are just frustrated.



So please understand that.



Its a common thing amongst whites not to understand this either. Because the minorities, it is common knowledge that they kno for fact their race will at some point hold them back in life. And it is incredibly frustrating.

It does suck to have to deal with things associated with your race which are a stereotype. Try being black and having people judge you and assume you are a certain way. Most whites are perceived to be racist because of your history of "most" of you. Its something we all have to deal with. Cant blame people for assuming, its life. Just prove that you are not a part of the stereotypical white person group. Im disproving mine.

Only White people get blamed for racism.People only get angry about racism when there's a White person to blame.
