    Why is it that when the topic of Racism comes up

    It almost always only involves two Races, Whites and Blacks?

    Why is that? Is it just a misperception, or are White people really more likely to be predjudiced than any other Race? Are Whites really the least tolerant Race? And likewise, are Blacks really the Race that is victumized the most by Racism? Does Racism negatively affect a Black person more than a person of any other Race?

    What about the other Races? Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, Middle Eastern people?

    There are almost as many Hispanics in this Country now as Whites. So why do you hear far fewer stories about Hispanic people being Racist? Is it because as a whole they are less Racist than Whites?

    The number of Asians in this Country are about equel to the number to Blacks in this Country, right? So why is it that we don't hear as many stories about Asians being excluded, or suffering under the burdon of living in the Minority?

    Why is this do you think?

    Mexicans do all your minimum wage jobs, whitey.
    Asians do all your calculus and accounting stuff, whitey.

    Black people are just trying to do their own thang, and you don't like that, whitey.

    I'm just pullin' that out of my ass using established racial stereotypes for satirical hyperbole.

    Latins know that they are treaten bad, but they also know if it was the opposite, they would treat the whiteys even worser, so they don't really care about that, if there's soemthing wrong, they blame themselves and not the others.

    Re: Why is it that when the topic of Racism comes up

    Alot of times asians are called "the model minority". Simply put, they just accept the position they are in. If they are excluded or marginalized, they just suck it up. Now I can't say I agree with this, but that happens alot.
    And to say that whites are just more prejudiced than other races is plain old bullshit. Every race has racists. The reason why you only hear of whites being racists is because they are the majority in this country. During WWII, the Japanese were notorious for considering themselves superior to the rest of Asia and to the Western World. At the same time, the United States government published horrendously racist pamphlets against the Japanese.

    OK, I like affection

    But I'm not sure I understand why it's funny. There are almost as many Hispanics in this Country as Whites. Just interacting with others on a day to day basis, the same amount of potential conflict with people of other Races occur for Hispanics as they do for Whites.

    So why is it that stories of Racism involving Whites are a daily occurance, but Racism involving Hispanics are not? Is it just perception, or is there a reason?
