Well, here is the thing.

I love my family, but they are racist. Towards, Mexicans mainly. I had to grow up with all adults. Only one of my cousins is younger than me, but I hated her, and she hated me, so I would always be with the 'big kids' and adults. I am afraid that I might, or I am slipping into the racism I grew up in the middle of.

I am NOT racist, that I know of (yet), so please do not be offended. I know all races are equal and such... but I do find myself thinking thought I absolutely DO NOT mean. Help?

you can think whatever you want.. it's your head.
& no one can ever find out what you're thinking.


Though hold your tongue.. because it can get you into trouble.
My family is racist towards Mexicans & African Americans..

I, however, chose not to follow suit & picked my own path..
just like you can.

Look back at WW2, do you want to kill Mexicans like that? If you answered "yes", sorry there is no hope. (Just speaking my mind.)

i'm the stereotypical asian. people have been racist to me for my entire life, so frankly, i'm used to it. i actually think it's kind of funny when people get freaked out that i really eat rice everyday xD
so don't sweat it, there's some really laid back people out there. but with that said, keep your thoughts to yourself and everything will be fine.

Im black and I don't act it.Im actually very racist but in a joking way.Like I don't hate any race but I do find them all annoying in there own way.
Blacks I find are the most annoying.

I think its alright for you to think said thoughts as long as you don't think them in a hateful way.Even if you do think them in a hateful way just be you,don't change to be anything else.

That brings me to another problem...
I have a very strange phobia.
I have the phobia that people can read my mind.
(Mainly because I think of some crazy things....)

Relax I'm sure you'll be fine as long as you just think the things never say them or act on them my dad was super racist against black's, mexican's, gay's, asian's... (it just goes on and on like that with practicly any other race you could think of that isn't white) and for a while it began to rub of on me then I eventually got to a point where I thought hey this isn't true I shouldn't judge people like that. So what I'm saying is you might just be going through a faze. (sorry I tend to blabber alot before I get to the point sweatdrop )

Haha, that reminded me of my super racist sub I had in choir a few days ago.
We have 2 guys with dark skin in our jazz choir. The first one, she started speaking in SPANISH to the guy, and he's like "... What?".
The second guy had to prove he was on the class roster!

Racism is dumb :/

Racism is stupid, but sometimes it can be innocent and funny.

Watch this, you'll laugh ur a** off
Then again if u hate Mexicans, dont watch it, cuz this guy's Mexican and he jokes his black friend.

for the record, im white, non-racist, and i think this is funny as s**t.

I'm white with some Iroquois roots from my Mom (so techincally I'm brown), and I hate racism. The jokes on the other hand, I don't mind. I used to be prejudice think that Italian boys were jerks that make fun of girls for being ugly. Now I realize that all boys make fun of ugly girls. .____.
