Are racist people happier?

Are racist people happier? This is a serious question.

I'm not talking about the screaming prick with the ridiculous sign you might see on youtube. I mean, when I watch TV, or see demonstrations, it seems that the racist interviewers/interviewees tend to be smiling, while the nonracist people tend not to be.

I highly doubt it.

Racist people have some inner need to make themselves feel superior to others thru petty avenues like color of skin or religeon; the reality is they have an insecurity complex that they refuse to face. Instead, they simply hate what is different from them.

In my book, anyone who hates anyone for something as trivial as the color of their skin when they don't even KNOW the object of their hatred is sad and frankly ignorant.

What if, instead of having some inner need to make themselves feel superior, they actually just feel superior?

I don't think they are happier. Their smile might just be a way of covering up their misery.

It is always fun to 'pick on someone else', I am not surprised that racist people theoretically can be happier than non-racists, but we would like to say there is no racism, because this is a crazy country, and racism or not, nobody cares, because we have other better things to do on the todo list.
