text: why are people who voice thier opinions about other races always labeled a racist?   it's because a lot of people do not present actual facts when answering or asking a question about a certain race. they sometimes have an offensive opinion based on fiction not fact. i would label a person a racist if they look at a certain race as a whole in a negative way. my question is why do people have to be labeled and not look at as just  being human? there is good and bad in every race.  no one likes to feel like they are being put on the spot especially if it is with negative opinions or slurs. also, i feel you have to walk in another person's shoes before you can comment about that person.
