Not too long ago, someone wrote me an email because I wanted to know more about the population of their country. He knew that I am African-American and he answered my question. He then told me that he was of German and English descent. He also told me that he wasn't a racist, but he didn't like black people. Needless to say, I cannot get over what he said and in term, I decided to ignore him. It was very hurtful and I never really had anything like that happen to me. But since then, I wondered if all white people, regardless of nationality are racists, whether they are blatant about it or were subtle about it. Subtle is like deep down, white people in general think they are better than black people. What I didn't tell you was the guy was from Colombia and I haven't heard or read nice things about Latinos in general. Where I am from, there isn't a large Latino population and so my exposure with some Latinos online have been negative and others have been positive. I think I may be a "racist" (I put racist in quotations because I know Latino isn't a race.) It is as if the more African in their minds, the poorer, the less educated, the dumber, and all other negative attributes while white people are seen in a better light. Any ways, I sometimes have negative thoughts about white people and Latinos in general. Sometimes, I just don't like white people and wonder why some black people do like them. Am I a racist or am I just cynical? Your comments will be greatly appreciated.
