Are you racist?

I was racist in my younger days because that is the way I was brought up in the 50's and 60's. Coming out of the second world war... it was not difficult to be racist. There was a lot to hate. I don't consider myself racist these days. But some people on the Internet will call me racist for expressing my opinion on another country. Which is ridiculous. Those same people express their opinion on America all the time... and nobody call them racist. Quite frankly... if you think about it... racism is a fear of the unknow or simply a lack of knowledge. And that apply to almost everyone. We have all met people from different countries in the street. But how many of us really knows about the lifestyle in those other countries? If you don't know about the culture of those people... you cannot really understand what those people are all about. And as soon as you make a remark about something you don't understand... you are a racist. That is what racism in the 21st century is all about. It has nothing to do with the racism we saw in America prior to the 1970's. There is no more racism in the Western World. People just like to call it racism. It save them having to justify what they are doing wrong.

I think I am. But being a racist for me is stereotyping people. I stereotype people sometimes based on their race. But it's not always negative. I say good stereotype qualities as well but still it's being racists.
