How Racist Are You?
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/12/racism.poll/index.html
Interesting article regarding the discrepancies races have when it comes to their perception of racism. I don’t consider myself a huge bigot as I have many friends of different races and creeds. However, every now and again I do catch myself in the act of doing something that could be considered racist. For example, if I were sitting in my parked car at night and I noticed a white person walking in my direction on the sidewalk I wouldn’t think twice about it. Replace that white person with a black one and now we’re talking fright and a surreptious, involuntary reaction to lock my doors. Then again my reaction would depend on how that black person is dressed. If I see the black person in a suit, carrying a briefcase then I wouldn’t panic. However, if I saw a 50 Cent wanna be approaching, then I’d duck for cover.
So how racist are you and give us examples.
