do you believe that everyone is (a little bit) racist?

i think some racist jokes are funny but i really love people of all races. :[ does that count?
also, i think people expect certain behaviors to be portrayed more by one race over another - though this is obviously not correct, but still the stereotype is around.

yes, because we live in a racist society. it's impossible to remain uninfluenced by racism imbedded in your environment.
however, that doesn't give us a free pass to be ignorant. everyone should work hard to combat racist influences in their lives.

i think probably the majority of people are, but there definitely are people who aren't too.

i think the vast majority of people are influenced by their surroundings so that while they're not racist in the sense that they immediately hate or dislike anyone of another race, they subconsciously attach stereotypes to those of other races.

i believe that some people truly aren't, but the majority of people are. however, i think that the MAJORITY of the majority aren't prejudice and/or don't act on their tiny feelings.

To a degree, I think so. Even if it's unconscious or not even acted out, I think it all plays a role in the way we think, at least a little bit.

i guess to an extent, but i think it's more subconscious because people generally tend to gravitate towards people that are like them. or at least that's what one of my teacher's said and it made sense to me.

i don't believe everyone is a little bit racist, but i do believe that, instinctively, by and large people generally hold small prejudices toward cultures, people, and ideals that they don't understand. and i'm not saying everyone is like this, and i know it's gotten progressively better, but it is a pattern that i've noticed over the past few years. i'm not racist, not even a little bit, i don't see a point in it, and i don't see people as color. i grew up in a household with people of various ethnicity and it taught me to be open-minded, respectful and kind toward people who are not only of different races, but people who are different from me in any aspect of life.

i don't necessarily think everyone is a little bit racist so much as we all are born and taught these stereotypes by media and culture and they kind of ingrain into your mind whether you want them to or not. like fried chicken and watermelon, or asians getting A's in calculus or whatever. i mean it's not that people want to relate certain things to certain races, but people do, but does that mean that it's racists? because some people are
proud
of their culture and what comes along with it, and they are more than happy to identify themselves with it. then there's others that get offended if you even mention race or ethnic background and will swear up and down "we're all human beings, it doesn't matter!!"

kind of. idk i learned in my psychology class that people believe that their own race is superior to other races, which, i don't know if its completely true or not, but does hold some truth to it at least. and i don't know if that's really ~racist~ or not but nowadays anything can be construed as racism so i guess its just a matter of personal opinion.

eh racist, maybe not. i mean, the likelyhood that everyone has had at least one racist thought is fairly good, particularly over here in the united states, but sometimes i do hesitate to say "everyone." i'm much less hesitant to say that everyone is at least a little bit prejudiced, because if we're going with the most basic definition of the word, prejudice covers so much that it's easy to be prejudiced without even realizing it or meaning to be hateful or intolerant.

Avenue Q popped into my mind when I first saw this, ngl.
but in all honesty, I really do think people are racist to some extent. it's human nature to act that way, no matter how much we try to deny it.
