Do you think Americans are racist?

If you listen to the news media in the USA you would get the idea that America is a hotbed of hatred of anyone who isn't white. Sure there are some fringe groups like the Ku Klux Klan and no-Nazis, but when they hold their rallys they get maybe 20-30 people. In this article the author traveled around the middle of America and found out that we are not the racists that we are told we are.
As I traveled across America this summer, I found something that would surprise many in the media. I found a lot of racial harmony.

Not all Americans are racist. In fact I feel like it’s only a select few, but I don’t see it much. I live in a large midwestern city.

There will probably always be some racists here in the US, but I don't believe most Americans are. I live in the south and most people get along pretty well.

That's what I would say also. Yeah, there are some jerks but most people couldn't care less what color your skin is.

Usually I experienced racism from the older people, not saying older people are racist but every generation people gets less racist. I mean racist jokes are used a lot on tv during the 90's.

I'm not sure. I'm not an American.

But when you think about America, do you think of it as a bunch of racists or do you think we get along with each other.

There are racists in the US but not the majority as some would have you think.

That's my position as well.
