Racism in America

Of course there is black bigotry, and Asian and Latino and Indian--every race has such a history.

The most subtle form of bigotry now is perpetuating the myth that it was started by, and is limited to, white Europeans. This is done by such things as the 1989 poll you cited asking Anglos which minority they least favored. When there are polls of “minorities” asking them which groups they least favor, then we will be able to try to curb the bigotry in all of mankind.

It all goes back to prehistoric times, tribalism and the fear that the group could be easily destroyed. Making white males or any other group whipping boys will only delay the long and difficult road we must all travel to learn to live together.
