That's been the case even before the last election. I was accused of being racist because I wasn't voting for him

A different way to ask the question, "what percent of yourself is racist"?

This is right next to, "you don't know if you have morals until you *really* need them".

Regardless, I think this is an excellent question & should be asked often and constantly. That is the only way to know who & what we are ... it makes us think about ourselves outside of oneself. This is one of the best uses of the net & public forums.

"Racist" Isn't a particularly useful term. It's used as a negative description, when it's really just a neutral description. Taking a broad definition, virtually 100% of the population is some kind of *ist, whether they recognize, or acknowledge that fact or not. "Racism" gives that particular kind of *ism more importance than it's worth.

black people are more likely to be racist towards white people than the other way around, studies show it!

How many people are in the red states?

Yea, because if you live within some lines on a map whose population votes a hair over 50% "red" then you must be a racist. What about if you live in a red state but vote blue? I suppose they are automatically exempt from being racist in your opinion?

IF?

Sorry your title says "would be classified". I think you mean SHOULD be classified.

Either way this is just asking for a flame fest, troll fest without a LOT more tightly confined OP post. Anyway I'll put in my 2 cents for what it's worth.

I'm more sensitive than most when it comes to racism, maybe it comes from being raised in a liberal mixed race family, maybe it's just me. Still racism is not a clear cut thing. One can't draw a line in the sand and say past this point here be racism. Racism is as much in the mind of the beholder as it is a concrete concept. Leaving aside obvious racism that few would dispute (calling people of given races ******s, chinks, kikes etc. for the sole purpose of hating them), one has to look at examples of things like, is it racism when black people say n***er among themselves. What percentage of racist jokes are really racist and what percentage are actually anti racist? Is affirmative action racist or anti racist. etc... There are as many opinions on these subjects as there are people. If you fall on the left/liberal side of the line on a lot of these subjects then you are going to give a much higher number/percentage than you are if you fall on the more conservative side.

So it's not possible to come up with a hard number on this as everyone will differ. However I'll try my best cause this is ATOT

For what percentage are clearly just racist, no argument needed. I'm going to basically pull a number out of my ass and say some 25% of those living in red states. Given the following list of red states and the following list of populations:

http://electoral-vote.com/evp2011/Info/red-blue.html
http://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0004986.html

that gives 96,023,631 * 0.25 = 24,005,907

How about those living in blue states? What percentage do you think living in these states are clearly racist no questions asked? Again another number comes out of my ass, 10%.

US population (308,745,538) - 96,023,631 = 212,721,907 (pop of blue states)

212721907 * 0.10 = 21,272,190

Now for the REALLY subjective numbers that you REALLY just pull out of thin air. What percentage of those left over would you label as racist? Those that fall on the border that people would argue are or are not depending on context, their own family up bringing, and more. This number will DRASTICALLY differ from person to person as this is where people post something that is said and someone says that's WASIST and someone else says WTF are you talking about and a flame war get's started. So for me this number is going to be 20%.

(So US pop - 24,005,907 - 21,272,190) * 0.20 = 52,693,488

So total racists. 24,005,907 + 21,272,190 + 52,693,488

97,971,585

Which gives a percentage of 31.7%.

Again numbers out of thing air but ATOT asks for concrete numbers so there you are

Probably less than 1% of the USA.

People give Arizona flak for being 'racist' against Hispanic. Completely false. Arizona is against illegal immigration, and 99.99% of our illegal immigrants come from across the southern border. People dislike illegal immigrants, not Hispanics.

What's the percentage of people who refuse to give in to someone's stupidity who just happens to be of a different racial or ethnic background?

Whatever that percentage is just HAS to be the number of racists, as well as the modern definition of a racist.

I am sorry, my hasty generalization unfairly groups those poor people surrounded by inbreeds with the inbreeds. Those people are definitely not racist, they are our only hope in lifting those red states out of their backwardness and bigotry, one vote at a time.
