Some people in any society are racist. Unfortunately it is part of the human condition. However, it seems to me that most things that are taken as racist are actually less about race and more about culture.

There are some things about foreign cultures that irritate and offend me such as honor killings or female circumcision. Equally, I am sure there are plenty of things about my culture that offends others.

I don't think think there is as much racism about as some people would like us to believe. It suits some people to be victims.
