interested in a race argument, more a friendly exchange of ideas about the topic.

I think your statement about southern Americans is crazy, it sounds as though it is directly related to black/white issues only. That racism does exist but I wouldn't say any more or less then in the north, east, or west. As you see I am the only one so far to respond to your statement. Racism as your calling it goes back hundreds of years here in the U.S. and thousands of years through out the world and it's not just black and white issues. The southern States probably has more interacial couples then anywhere in this country so how do you come to that conclusion. Racism will always exist every where in some form. Look at the middle east, and North/South Korea, most racism gets it start at the religous level and way of life and not color. I'm white and live just north of Detroit, Mi. which is about 80 to 90% black with the largest contingent of Iraqi's in the country. Texas, California, arizona have very large mexican populations and racism is there to, Is it black vs white vs brown vs yellow vs red, I dont think so. It's almost as though it's bred into us in some way. How else can you explain why the world has been at war for thousands of years. Your subject line of who the most racist is a question that can not and never will be answered. You don't say where your from in your profile or your race.


So you know, where I work there are Blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, and white people, so there's a mix of different cultures and once you get to know them their all pretty good people. My daughter goes to Wayne State University which is in Detroit and one of the most diverse schools in the nation with people from about a hundred different country's all working, learning and partying together, they all get along because they all have like interests. I think racism goes a lot deeper then color alone.

Since you asked the question maybe you can explain why you feel southern Americans are the most racist in the world. Thats a bold statement and I don't know if you can give a solid answer as to why you believe this.
