My experience is that a person's racist tendencies are directly proportional to their exposure to diverse cultures. While living in Korea for two years, I found the people to have very little exposure to other cultures and, therefore, to base their opinions of individuals of other races on generalizations they might have seen in media. I also noticed differences in myself after gaining the cultural exposure there. While I had previously accepted the limitations of generalizations conceptually, only after getting to know hundreds of Koreans personally was I able to see that they are just as different as everyone I knew back home.

Uh...there's only one ethnic group I know of that has many members who wish to kill all Jews...that's a little bit more racist than only hanging out with people who look like you.

Not sure... by lilsis :: NR5

Im not sure if one is more racist then the other. It just seems like some races get away with more. For example, blacks and latino races have there own music awards and have a month decicated to them. Does that make them more racist? Or does that make us because we dislike the fact that we don't have that? Just a thought.

These poll replies are racist by Anonymous :: NR0

You are all demonstrating your racism with the poll results. I bet hardly any of the people who voted are black. I'm guessing that actually most people voting are white and choosing to vote for black people as the most racist. That's pretty stereotypical and racist just in itself. White people need to do some serious looking inward. Remember black people were slaves and black people had to fight hard during the civil rights movement for equal rights. They're still fighting now! I'm appalled, but not suprised to see that white America thinks that African-Americans are the most racist.

Some of us haven't been afforded enough experiences to even make an informed decision.

Most Blacks Are Not Racist by Anonymous :: NR0

It's crazy that most people pick blacks as the most racist ethnic group of all when actually they are the most repressed. Find me a repressed person and I'll show you an angry person. the "discrimination" majority of blacks have isn't racism but something entirely different. there's a term for it but i can't remember.

When you've been repressed by a groups/groups of people and all other races see you as the least of all races and treat you as so, you tend to expect that and have a defense mechanism. You tend to NOT want to be around those people or associate yourself with them. you tend to backlash at them more NOT because of necc. *who* they are but *what* they have done.

Find me a black person who thinks and treats other races as racially inferior to themselves and I'll show you a black racist. Find me one who's angered w/ people you have historically AND currently mistreated and belittled them and I'll show you an angry black person.

on that note, with my wide range of experience of all ethnic groups, i find asians to the racist of them all. When i say asians i mean East Asians and Indians. (trust me on this. some of them, if they are close to you, would sadly agree).

Racism in Asia by Anonymous :: NR0

Since Asia consist of sub-continents there are several main races in Asia. Each differing not only in culture and language but also in skin colour, body types, hair types and so on.

In Asian countries that have more than one Asian ethnic group, racism is rife.

You poll can't be too accurate if you lump all Asians into one group. What about the Indian vs. the Chinese. Do all Asians look alike to you? Surely not!

Hahahahahaha. by Anonymous :: NR0

The racism against white people in these comments pretty much reaffirms what most of us already knew. White people are not the problem.

hahahaha! by AnonBCA :: NR6

Dude...50% of Omni-Nerds (38 total) think that "black" is an ethnic group...there are 38 Omni-Nerd idiots out there...

This is by war the WORST poll that has been on Omni-Nerd, its so objective, and subjective that I don't even know where to begin.

I have lost respect for Omni-Nerd based on the authorization of this submission.

Race and Ethnicity are two completely different things, assuming you people "meant" , "Races that display the most racist tendencies?" What qualifies you to say that Blacks are more racist? Racist towards whom?? YOU? I'm assuming that 99.9999% of you are white...right? Which probably means that these "black people" must be racist towards YOU, right? Or do you feel they're racist towards...say...Native Americans? What qualification, or quantification do you have for anything contained in this survey...this in fact, has been a complete WASTE of cyberspace and a denigration of all that Omni-Nerd stands for.
