  • I think they try by burying it, but deep down, the root is still in them.
  • I am the opposite. I used to be 100% open minded. I met someone, shit happened and now I find myself being a bit racist at times.
  • yes, happened to my friend. he ended up working at the unemployment office (or whatever u call it), in the immigrants section... that did it.
  • Yes, more than one. I have met racists who change into real human beings. It is quite refreshing.
  • Maturity and intelligence help.
  • The film American History X springs to mind, but it was too late by then for the said character. I found that an affecting film. I did a photography project years ago whereby I photographed palms of hands of people of varying nationalities *in black+white*, and positioned them around a 'blood' [ketchup!] handprint *in colour*, which had a ? over it. Seemed clear to me what I was trying to convey, but the markers and peers insisted there were racist connotations [projection perhaps] like a 'whodunnit' sort of thing. Such shame when simple things go over peoples heads and they insist on reading racism and controversy into anything non-white.
