Race question

I have noticed on my site meter of people viewing my racism test. I
thought to jot down a few more educated opinions about race.

I think the word race is used to much in our society. I hear of racial
profiling crowds to select people to randomly search for weapons. Well,
Islam is a religion not a race. And not everybody who has black hair
and tan skin is Arabic. I would classify Arabic under language or a
culture, not race.

With that said, I believe race was invented by Europeans in the
Exploration Period to jusify conquering other people. Same goes for
white supremecy idealogy. I have noticed people who claim to hate
whatever group only give emotionally reasons, no logic whatsoever, in
their answers when asked why they hate a certain group.

Another good racism test question would be: Can you handle sitting next
to someone in an airplane
who is different from you for the duration of a flight? I had to sit
next to various people on flights to think of this one.

I ask this question because I have noticed people who are racist to not
like anyone who is not just like them. Racist people don't like diseased
people, handicapped people, different religions, different cultures, or
different body weights in addition to different races. I also noticed
racist people think they are always right and assume everone else thinks
the way they do. Plus insecure to the bone so they feel the need to
control their surroundings and people they associate with.

Another good racism question is: What is your first reaction when you
see 2 people of different races holding hands in public, whether 2
adults or a adult with a child? Personally, I feel nothing because I
grew up with a cousin adopted from Korea so 2 races holding hands does
not shock or disgust me.

Or perhaps, what is your opinion on interracial children? Tiger Woods
claims multiracial hertiage and I think he looks hot. Halle Berry claims
biracial heritage and I think she is beautiful.
Can't think of any more questions. Post later. Bye!
