Why do you think racism still exists?

This situation highlights two problems in our society. First, the news media is becoming more and more unreliable and unprofessional. It seems like the days of fact-checking are long behind them and that they focus on "stories" that are more sensational than truthful. Second, it proves that racism is still very much alive. If it weren't such a concern, then the Administration could have taken, I don't know, fifteen minutes to look into the accusation or speak with Sherrod.

M$Racism, in it's most extreme form can start wars and I don't believe that education, threat of punishment, or anything else will ever stop it completely.
I live in Spain and on the walls of my local health center, there are signs which I believe are racist. They are only written in English and we have people from many other countries living in the town. The wording is "We do not speak English or any other language, (does that include Spanish, I wonder?) if you want our services bring an interpreter". Yes, sure, living in Spain we should all speak Spanish, but why are the the signs not in German, French, Romanian, etc as well?

M$Last night I was watching MTV's Real World and seen the girls at Mardi Gras lifting their shirts for beads and to me that was a form of racism.
These young girls and women are just so accustomed to lifting their shirts for beads, that I guess it still continues.
I still see blacks and white people discriminating against eachother and people in general discriminating against Gay people.
I feel like people discriminate alot less than just a couple years ago and maybe that is all we can ask for, a slow change. To expect discrimination to go away over not is not practical. As long as we see change for the better, I guess we should all be proud. http://www.flickr.com/photos/firozeshakir/1242218528/

M$I actually think people have the right to be biased, so long as they don't let their biases come out in actions that harm other people. I personally think it's stupid to say that all cultures are equal. If someone thinks treating women like dirt and stoning them to death for minor "infractions" is okay, sorry, but their society is not as good as mine. So long as I treat members of their society decently and don't cause them financial, social, or physical harm, I feel like I've met my ethical obligation. I do not feel obligated to actually respect or like them. If someone wants to call that bigotry, fine.
A lot of things cause bias: personal experiences, values passed on from parents and other influences, fears, ignorance, etc. Some of these things provide totally false information, or cause one to generalize to an entire population what is true of only one individual. However, if we're all going to be afraid of being labeled "racist," we're probably not going to have very honest conversations about race, so honestly, I think we all need to relax.

M$Most of these people of course would never admit that is how their mind works, but I have no real doubt that they need a scape goat. Some of the most heinous things in our world’s history have been done because someone was able to find a group of people like the Jews to blame for their country’s problems. People with this mindset simply did not vanish from the face of the planet, they are still around, and keeping that level of “thinking” alive.
