text: do you think racism is slowly going away? or not? do you think racism has dropped at all since the 60's  i'm asking since my whole family is hispanic and they say that white people are racist and just like other whites  i went to public school in austin (mainly white) and i never felt discrimniated. i had more white friends than black and hispanic. "they say that white people are racist and just like other whites"  you just answered your own question. your family who made this statement is racist against white people. most racism seems to begin at home, what parents teach their kids. if people at school don't discrimniate then they haven't been taught to hate.  if you don't learn to hate a race blindly then chances are you'll never be a racist. better to hate the person who wrongs you then their whole background.
