white people never understand XD

If I were in the habit of telling people where I live I'd tell you to pay my town a visit. Spend an hour here and you'll realize how much crap is in that statement(the racist part not the feminist part).

Oh, no, there are definitely some areas where it still applies to one degree or another -- hence the "all but" in my statement. I live in a part of town where we certainly have a lot of "persons of color" (I mean, really, we're all different shades of tan, but...), and nine times out of ten, when someone accuses another person of being racist, they have no grounds to stand on. A lot of the problems with racism have less to do with what people today think and more with what's still stuck in our society.

Blacks have, up until relatively recently, been low-class citizens in modern society, and even though bigotry is all but a thing of the past, wealth still tends to run in the family and we unfortunately have a disproportionate number of blacks in low-class neighborhoods, which leads to them statistically having a higher crime rate, lower literacy rate, etc. Similarly, women in the workforce are generally paid less because the women of previous generations generally got less education. Today, women are more likely to go to college than men, so it's all kind of undermining itself as we speak.

A lot of supposed racism has nothing to do with being racist at all. For instance, blacks are statistically less likely to get medical research grants approved than whites, despite the fact that their race is never even known to the people giving grants. This is because blacks often pursue more unconventional forms of medical research, likely stemming from the fact that different diseases affect people of different ethnicities unequally. The inherent problems with racial biases in modern society are more a result of lingering social inequalities that will only be fixed as time goes on.

All said and done, I can't say much if you live in, say, South Africa or some parts of the southern United States, or certain inner-city areas where racism is still clinging to some cliff and refusing to let go -- especially for hispanics in the U.S. At least in my area it's not that much of a problem, but I can certainly never speak for everyone.

Looks like you forgot to put the "all but" in your original statement. Would've saved you the trouble of typing a wall of text.

I live in USA, an Ohio man. That's about as specific as I care to get. As for what my town is like, basically just an overgrown redneck truck stop.

Unfortunately racism will take a REALLY long time to dissipate because almost every race has its own stereotypes. You get the black people with athletics, white people with intelligence, oh wait, see there it goes with the typical stereotypes.

The race is only what the race makes it to be. If other races make it seem different from the particular race, the particular race shouldn't have acted with their original, name-calling traits.

Before all the terrorism threats in the US at the turn of the century, nobody was stereotyping Muslims but then all of a sudden with 9/11 everybody was turned against them, it is the same with Japanese families in WWII and we can go as far back in history as we wish.

Oh yes, with the grants and scholarships. They do acceptances also by using a racial factor. It is easiest with the minimum requirements for a black female to be accepted to college, and the hardest for a white male to be accepted into the same college with the same requirements. AND that is a fact. Depending on the college they may accept more of one race than another. I'm 1/2 white and 1/2 Korean so I can use the whole biracial thing to my advantage. Not only is individual racism existent but psychological racism of an entire race is even bigger.
