I agree with this. In my high school, we probably only had 1 or 2 black kids in the school at any one time. All other schools in the area, minus Chillicothe, are 98% white. Any time you are put in a position you are unfamiliar with, you tend to be a little apprehensive. So you take someone from an area that is basically all white, and put them in an area with a mix of ethnicities, they're likely going to be a little uneasy. I think most people that go to college or get jobs in big organizations overcome the uneasiness pretty easily. Let's face it though, there is still flat out racism out there, and it not specific from one ethnicity to another.Heelz;570645 wrote:I think alot has to with the fact that some kids arent exposed to other races. I coach at a mostly to damn near all white school and when we play the teams from Lima such as North South and West the kids are almost like deer in headlights and don't know how to handle the loud and semi hostile crowd. For the most part when they get to know someone of different race they are fine. I think its mostly just not being exposed and realizing that people are people.
Why do other races feel like white people are afraid? Why can't people be apprehensive about other races because of no interaction or bad experiences as oppose to being afraid? Im not afraid of any race...I hate everyone.

I'd fear the angry looking black man wearing his fancy watch and bullet proof vest but not the little slant eyed dude in the middle. The white kid would looks OK if not for the stupid hat.sjmvsfscs08;570499 wrote:But I know plenty of people who fear this look:

I don't fear this as much as I just think they are lower in intelligence.sjmvsfscs08;570499 wrote:But I know plenty of people who fear this look:
The big difference is that one of those three races has a culture that unfortunately promotes that "I'm tough. Respect me." look brought about by the gross lacking of male father figures. I will catch plenty of flack for this, but I think a lot of contemporary racism is created the respective race.

Since I go to college with a pretty good mix of blacks and asians now, it doesn't seem to phase me. Most of them are generally good people who are working hard studying to make a good life for themselves. Hell, some of them are too afraid to screw up because its their first time anyone in their family has gone to college. Some of them dress in the "I'm tough respect me" mold, but it doesnt' phase me.
