Even those that think racism is wrong have been racist to someone at some point in their lives.

Re: Stereotypes -- What would you do?

In my definition of racism, it is an irrational and utterly baseless feeling of animosity/distrust/hatred towards someone on the grounds of onlyrace. Moreover, learned feelings of distrust and even hatred towards a large group of people (even if that group constitutes a separate race) that is based on experienced hardship and suffering due to this group is not racism. This is important. For example Armenians,Greeks, etc. are more than justified in feeling deep distrust and hatred towards turks; native Americans and blacks are more than justified in being weary of white Americans; Arabs are more than justified in feeling deep animosity towards Israelis and xxxs in general. That in my opinion is not racism.

On the other hand, hatred, distrust, discrimination that one feels towards another person simply because their race or their culture is foreign and different is purely moronic. It's no coincidence that so many racists are ignorant redneck morons. So for example if I walk down a street and see a black person or a hispanic person and I get an uneasy feeling, that is racism and it's stupid as all hell. On the other hand, if I walk down the street in the ghetto and see a group of hoodlums, who may all be black, an uneasy feeling is all but natural. This feeling is due to a natural understanding that hoodlums in the ghetto can and do get very violent with no provocation.

So, yes racism is wrong.

If I see ANY group of hoodlums, whatever race, near my car I get uneasy...
