I think it sounds more of a cultural thing. There are plenty of races in America who have the typical "old white man" views on things and are, in my opinion, just as annoying as an old rich white man who hates everything. However, one of my best friends who is black flat out told me I would never meet her family because they would hate me for being white and would call me a 'peckerwood'. They grew up in Mississippi in the age of segregation so I don't blame them.

Sometimes you have to kind of force yourself not to fall into that mind frame. I have to remind myself "not all Mexicans are like that, there are plenty of white people who do that same thing" because, in Arkansas, there is a lot of anti-Latino thinking that goes on. It gets hard to keep those negative thoughts out of my mind but I know I can't allow myself to start looking at people differently based on the color of their skin.

Personally, I hate Chicagoans lol. No matter their race. I used to live in Southern Illinois and it's not any race I can't stand, it's the culture of that city. Just like some people don't like 'yankees' (a.k.a. me) not because of their race but the culture of the north. Same goes for the south. Just like I know within Mexico there are plenty of cultures depending on the area. Or people from countries like Honduras or El Salvador actually get offended if you call them Mexican but, to Americans, 'they all look the same'.

I think it all depends on your experience. The fact that you realize your differences is a huge step and something a lot of literally racist people never get to.
