Being a product of my environment I grew up being about as none racist as you can be. From kindergarten to like 9th grade my best friend was white. Hung with many latinos and was always friends with the one or two Asian kids in school. I generally don't see things and people in terms of their race. I mean I recognize the difference and what ever but I don't really find myself making a judgement on their abilities as a person based on race even in passing even when angered. If a person cuts me off in traffic I call them asshole or bitch appropriately based on gender.
But what really shocked me though is in a family that raised me not to be racist how racist my parents are towards Mexican people. My mom is always saying little things here and there about how "They" let their kids run wild in the stores or whatever. I call her on it and tell her that's what white people say about us as black people. She then tries to explain it away but she displays some of the same racist tendencies that she always told us were wrong. And my dad.
He's a mean person anyway but he likes to "jokingly" talk bad about people and he says he means nothing by it(I mean he calls me and my sister all kinds of stuff in jest,at least we think)but he will lay into Mexican people like crazy sometimes and it brings looks of shock and disgust to my and my sister's faces. It really is sad that these two upstanding black people who were direct products of the racial revolution in Ameria(hell my mom grew up in Birmingham in the 50s)hold some of the same racists view points and seem to be perfectly fine with them.
But I suppose it is still progress though since they did raise two kids who don't work in the realm of color like they and their contemporaries do and hopefully my kids(who might be bi-racial)will live in an even more enlightened and color blind world. So if you guys that do have that little tinge of racism in them just make sure you teach your kids in the way you WISH you were and try to refrain from telling those little subtle racial "jokes" around your kids.
But I do agree that everybody is prejudice against some group. I have a disturbing amount of venom stored up for old people especially when they are driving.
