I have a question to ask of the ethnically diverse population here on GFY...

It has occurred to me that people have very different views on what is racist. For example:

if a guy Say's that most blacks are better at sports than most whites...is he a racist, or just stating an observation?

If someone tells a joke about a Jew and Mexican playing on their typical stereotypes, is he racist? or just laughing at our differences?

When Imus said "nappy headed hoes" was he really making a racist remark or just making an attempt at a Witty observation about the difference in hair type people of African origin have from Europeans?

In my opinion racism is tied to hate or a feeling that ones race is superior. otherwise you are just stating either the truth or the perceived truth.

Everyone has to walk on fucking eggshells that they don't hurt someone's feelings. I say grow the fuck up...WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT, NOT EXACTLY THE SAME, we can make believe we are all alike, or we can acknowledge it and even joke about it. Why not the latter?

Just curious what the other opinions on the subject are...
