Which is the most prejudice race?

Sounds good in theory. In reality in is all superficial. It is skin color, it is the shape of your eyes, the size of your nose.

Was your question, "who is the most racist?" or something like that? Because if it is, the answer is simple: The most racist people are the ones who have to put up with the most diversity in the shortest period of time.

After long exposure to my ex-spouse, I would have voted for the Indians. I had never in my life seen so much prejudice against people of other cultural backgrounds, educational differences, religious differences, and language until I met him. Here was an extremely intelligent man, who had travelled all over the world before reaching the age of 30, and had acquired a doctorate. He was still capable of spitting nails at the "stupid Sindhis" of his own country, and being blatantly rude to my parents honored guests in our very living room, because of his native cultural bias. To this day, I couldn't tell you what these people had done wrong. They were polite, civilized, intellligent and pleasant to be around, but my ex spurned them as if they were insects.

Another time, he expressed considerable fear because we were sitting next to some young people wearing clothing symbolic of gang membership. This clothing was in fashion then, and didn't mean anything in particular except that they were young wannabes. He took the clothing for the real thing and wanted to move because he feared violence.

The more you know of differences between people, the more you fear. The greatest exposure to diversity means the greatest factor of unknown behaviors. Fear of the unknown creates prejudice, not necessarily evil mindedness or deliberate hatred.

Prejudice comes from fear of the unknown. The more unknown elements you learn to fear, the more likely you are to be prejudiced. Battling prejudice is a lot of work. You have to fight your instinct to flee from or hate the unknown.

Here's something weird for you: When I see a VERY black man, large and muscular, my heart beats just a little harder. It's not arousal, it's fear. I don't know that man. He LOOKS different. I try to beat it down, but the feeling is there. He's just very unknown. I wasn't raised around very dark people and they aren't familiar to me, so my body interprets them as a threat. Something tells me to be on my guard. I can't help it.
