Are you Racists?

[Majour]

From what I have noticed is that a lot of friendships with mixed races crack and joke about the other race, not to be racist, but to be funny. Think of how many black comedians make white jokes, how many Hispanic comedians make black jokes, and so on.

In some cases yeah, I've seen different ethnicities joke. But I've seen people I used to go to school with be awfully racist and xenophobic- mostly towards specific ethnicities. They see the racist propaganda from right wing groups on Facebook and agree with it. If anything I think they're just morons that believe anything they see on Facebook, maybe they don't mean to be assholes, it just happens.

Facebook is used to separate people, not bring them together. I never had an account but I have seen it destroy friendships, marriages, ect.

What you are saying does happen and I understand that but a lot of jokes do get taken out of context. But backing what you have been stating, I knew a guy who was only friends with black people because of where he was raised. He always used horrible words about blacks and then to his friend's face, he was perfectly fine. To me, you can't really be a true friend with someone if you go behind their back making serious racists comments.
