Why are whites accused of racism more often than other races?

To be honest with you'

I have worked with Asians and Caribbean folk

and both have that racism about each other,

Its not just whites but all races, [just generalising]

not all ?

I understand what you mean.... but you must acknowledge that it was whites who began the whole idea of racism, even here in the USA. Whites are the ones who practiced hate so freely centuries ago, that people of other ethnicities in the USA are kinda used to it. Of course there are racists in all races, but it seems I have to question if a white person is racist, when I meet one. Im in no way racist, because I try to get along with everyone of all ethnicities until they do/say something that shows they are racist. Plus, Im black and my boyfriend is white.... he is NOT racist.

This is quite simple.

Within the UK, white people represent 92%of the population. This makes them the majority, and others minorities.

As a matter of fact, in 2003, the Commission for Racial Equality as it was then known, issued figures to show that 10% of their case work had been in representation of the white indigenous population. In real terms this means that the majority were over represented in that year.

As a trade union officer, I could give you many examples of how indirect, direct and institutional racism works, but to what purpose?

Let me give you a short cut, racism is the same as any other discrimination, it is bullying. Nothing more...nothing less.

Political correctness is manners and politeness. Nothing more...nothing less.

Well, for the general population of the US, white people are 79% of the population, meaning, that if just 10% of white people are racists, or perform racist acts, that would then total 7.9% of the total US population. Black people are 12% of the population, so to equal that total of 7.9%, they would have to have 60%+ be racist, or perform racist acts. White people have more numbers, that's why you hear about it more. Also there are more white people in positions of power to actually be racist or discriminatory.

Did you know that a white male that has been to prison has a better shot of getting a call back for a job than a black male? And if you need anymore tidbits, just watch "What would you do?" on NBC

The white race is the root of racism. The proof is in the media, how many whites do you see in the media for crimes they commit? Out of all the rapist, murders, and pedophiles 95% of them are white, yet you only see the thuggish black guy who stole 20 dollar to feed his family in the daily news. I don't know about you, but I'm not worried about the black guy in my neigbourhood, I'm more worried about the white guy with kiddie porn on his hard drive creeping up on my children. If that's not racisim I don't know what is.

everyone is racist so who cares?!?

white people had the whole slavery/segregation stealing land taking over s. africa india, the west indies i could go on but...you see my point?? not a pretty track record its gonna take a LONG time to fix race relations

if your white no-one listens, blacks call us all sorts, and we take it cos we can, they are more angry for some reason, and they wont to carry guns and knives these days, its such a shame, well it can only get worse, or better!

Whites don't complain as much as the others.

They're not, whites are the ethnic group most likely to be the victim of a "hate crime"

not true!!

WHITES ARE RACIST THAT IS WHY PEOPLE CALL THEM THAT!!
