What percentage of white Americans are racist against whites?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Assuming this is possible as some here seem to think....

I voted 0%. It's a negligible number. For example have you ever heard of a white moving to an almost all black neighborhood because they can't stand being around other white people and hate them so much?

[Mr. Morden]

What does "racist" include?  Outright hatred of a racial group certainly qualifies.  "Not being able to stand being near" members of that group would obviously count.  But I would also classify holding negative stereotypes about a racial group as being racist as well, even if it has nothing to do with "hatred" as such.

How should we know how many people are racist against Whites, there's no fuсking way to know how many are racist against Whites, I can't even make a qualified guess, no more than I could guess how many people are racist against Blacks, Arabs or Asians.

Would we count Anglos that hate Wops?  Germanic types that hate the Irish?

Again, does "racist" imply "hate"?  Aren't you still being racist if you judge people on the basis of unfair negative stereotypes, even if you don't hate them?

[DC Al Fine]

<10%, but more like 20-30% of this board

[Antonio the Sixth]

A statistically insignificant share.

No, since they're being hated for not being White enough.

I would've qualified, but ever since I realized Portuguese-Americans can identify as Hispanic if they choose to, I do that.  Being half-German, I suppose I'm at least partially white, and white people certainly frighten me more than any other race.  I'll never move to a lily-white town, that's for sure.

Ah, but would you ever move to anywhere that has more than a smattering White people? And where the White people don't behave like decent middle-class Hispanic-Americans?

[rejectamenta]

A great deal if you consider classism a sufficiently related pathology.

Roughly 5%, and they're all on Tumblr.

I could move to a majority white place, actually.  I just prefer there be diversity.  Where people of different backgrounds live in harmony you tend to see less nastiness and institutionalized racism.  

Mind you, I'm not afraid of anyone, really.  However, a pack of honkies rocking pink polos coming towards me certainly has me more on guard than any "thuggish" looking black or brown in the city.  

Then again, I certainly LOOK white.  Maybe I would fear them more if I was a little darker.  As it is I just seem to have a year-round tan going on.

There are a lot of white on white crimes out there.

Yep.  Typocally its white collar theft perpetrated by rich owners against the poor, suffering worker.  I'm glad you see this, NJ-R person.

Yeah, pretty much all white liberals fall into this category.

It's called the Federal Reserve.

Consider that krazen once used this line to argue that Pat Toomey counts as a minority Republican Senator, and you see how absurd it is. Plus look at a map and note what continent Portugal is on.

Some whites may think whites have acted as racist overbearing selfish types who seek to exploit others (in other words, it's the "whites' culture" that sucks if such a thing is even barely possible as a generalization), but a white hating whites because he hates white skin, and thus loathes or looks down on someone subject to getting sun burned?  I guess such chaps might exist, but they're at once sickies and rare.

Homophobe!!!!

it's certainly possible to have a prejudice against another ethnic-national group that is considered White.  I have such a prejudice against Italians, for instance.

If we're using that type of definition of "racist" though, then the black guy I know in the scene here who hates hip-hop and basically all of hip-hop and black culture is a self-hating anti-black racist. Or the ethnically Jewish but atheist guy on another forum who lives in Brooklyn and talks about how he thinks it'd be fun to throw slabs of pork at Hasidic synagogues and how he planned on walking through Borough Park on Yom Kippur eating a bacon cheeseburger (I'm not sure if he actually did it, he could've just been joking) is an anti-Semite and also bigoted against himself. Actually come to think of it this would also make just about all white people in the scene also anti-white racists due to their attitudes toward mainstream white culture.

What's your opinion of Guy Picciotto?

Well I for one feel particularly offended by this judgment of my fellow whites, based solely on stereotypes and uninformed fears.
