Why do people think im racist?

I am a caucasian male. I have problems with people who wont speak to me in public especially blacks and arabs. If i make friendly gesture or say hi alot of them just look at me all crazy and stuff. I am not racist i have married outside of my race 2 times. What can i do to make these people like me? There is these arabs from pakistan at the gas station and they really give me uncomfortable looks too do you think maybe they are terrorist or a hidden al queda cell?

    The way you type doesn't sound white, like not at all. Maybe you're a none white person that's had bad experiences with white men. Many people do complain that white men are racist. I feel they just choose not to date out if their race and people call them racist. That's not racist but preference.

    my sincere advice to you is that you get along with everyone, do not stare back at them even if they do , instead you could smile back at them , be friends with everyone possible , i mean people of all races , this would potray you as a person who does not give a damn about racial differences.

    well maybe they dont like your behaiviour or your religion, many arabs are nice people, but living in arabia i noticed people dont greet each others, dont talk to others in public and sometimes ignore your greetings but those are ussualy pakistani they are mean and only like each other
