Is racism/intolerance endemic to all races
I am not sure if I have the title of the thread right, but the various discussions in AFF over the last few days/weeks, have got me thinking.
Are we all more prejudiced than we realize?
I include myself in this question.
All of us seem to be very quick to defend people/organizations/viewpoints that are primarily made up of people from our racial or ethnic background.
We seem a lot more quick to defend these, than other issues, and to take these more personally.
As someone who participated in some of the Promise Keeper rallies, the subject of racism always seemed to draw a very emotional response from all men. Thus, I know it was hitting a nerve.
Looking for serious thoughts, without throwing stones!!
