why are people racist?

Question

Is this what we have come too? Illegal immigrants work hard and live happy cuz U.S its a dream, remember the american dream, everyone had it at one point of time. An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind.

Answer 1

Racism comes in stages and degrees.

Most of it is due to lack of confidence in ones self and inferiority complexes.

However, it could also be because of trying to brainswahs a section of the people by regular campaigning against a particular group or groups.

None of these eventuallysucceed.

South Africa , Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) are good examples.

The best example is the United states.

All racial barriers have been legally broken but the trend is still there.

Answer 2

yes this is what it has become. Illegal immigrants work hard and live happy because then they can bring in more immigrants and take over the country.

well i am not smart or cleaver some would even call me ignorant i would say i am not alone in this category so therefore if we are not smart and cleaver enough we are racist. but then does that not make YOU racist for classing people in that category.

think again. Racist's i Hate them.

yehaaaaaaaaa

Answer 3

This action is not about race it is about MONEY. No one cares if you are black or white or hispanic or chinese whatever! All they want is your money. And if you aren't paying your fair share, i. e., taxes, you should get out. I have been to the Grocery Store behind hispanic families, with their 10 kids and 2,000 WIC vouchers. If you work so hard, why can't you take care of the children you created? I have been through college and graduate school and barely afford to take care of me. So I know the illegals with no education and 10 children who work so hard must not be paying their share of taxes. There are American families who cannot get on welfare, but somewhow the government is taking care of the illegal ones. THIS IS NOT ABOUT RACE. IT IS ABOUT MONEY. And more importantly, the goverment getting their share of your money.

Answer 4

I don't think it's racism that is sparking the illegal immigrant issue. It's the fact that they don't pay taxes, can't vote, yet their Senators and Congressmen vote for what they want. Most aren't putting in their fair share.

Answer 5

hatred and fear comes from ignorance, and a close mind, keep in mind hatred is taught, by parents and by peers, those who lack self esteem will gravitate to a strong person ( even though that strong person is in themselves are weak ) for guidance in an early age, once taught and once brought into the fold, so to speak, the person will adopt there values life long until corrected or until their eyes are opened, in turn they will teach the next generation

Answer 6

It's not racist to be against illegal immigration. I would be just as angry about an illegal canadian immigrant as I would be about an illegal mexican immigrant.

Answer 7

some people are racists because they are ignorant. they don't have understanding and just want to accept what easier for them. they follow what society and the media perceives different races and that gives them false ideas about different people.

Answer 8

people are scared and instead of doing something about it they blame other and treat them badly to make themselves feel better. They act like they are more superior than a certain group of people.

Answer 9

I dont think racism and immigration have anything to do with each other buddy.

Answer 10

In my opinion, racism is caused by fear in many ways. You can wonder why the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) was attacking people because of racism.

Answer 11

It's because people are afraid of being different. So they see people that ARE different and they despise them because, in the end, they wish that they were different, too.

Answer 12

I think racism is a blend of ignorance and fear of the unknown.

Answer 13

I agree with cobra.....racist people lack knowledge and understanding and they fear the unknown....

Answer 14

people don't like what they don't understand, and people who cant control their own feelings try to inflict control upon some-one or something.

Answer 15

because people are too accepting of stereotypes

Answer 16

xenophobia
