Prejudice- an instance of such judgment or opinion; an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics.

There is a difference between being "Racist" and "Prejudice". Racism is the belief that one group of people is superior to another. I remember having a conversation with my Sociology teacher. He wanted to know if we thought America is a Racist Community. In my opinion, America or we are not "Racist", but there are only a select few racist individuals. There will always be some form of prejudices or discrimination.

I think Racism is for the most part non existent here, but there is and always will be discrimination of some form. I'd like to think that one day everyone will be mixed, not one single race. But even then there will still be people thinking negatively.

This is why I like racist humor. Some may believe we have to completely ignore racism and that it isn't there, and laughing at racist jokes is taboo. I believe the fact that black people, white people, and asians can all sit in the same room and laugh at the same comedian who's telling jokes about stereotypes is a great thing. It makes us step back and say, yes we're different, and sometimes it's funny because we all come from different cultures, but you know what, it's not bad. It just means we're different, and I like that.

I highly agree. It's better to embrace differences and accept them, rather than trying to point out the negatives of a specific race.
