I think i am a racist and a sexist

I think i am a racist and a sexist because i consider both. I think my skin color effects my ability to deal with sun. I think race and sex are noticeable. I think after considering race and sex without deviating because of junk people shove in my face that i think race and sex effect intelligence in extremely small amounts because of the dynamics of the differences in shape and density. I think the differences do not effect the ability to have a consistent thought process to accurate ability. I think body's grow in similar ways not mattering the race. I think women have metapause because of the body at levels starting to go to gray hair type levels and the change effecting amounts of dynamics at levels. I think keeping focus that will keep the mind stable is possible with women. I think i am a vegan and i think i try to deal with others the way i want to be delt with. I think after considering race and sex that i think all people should have equal rights. I think the holding people in situations because of race and sex is not appropriate because i think i want to deal with others the way i want to be delt with and i want to increase the hope that i do not get put into horrible situations and i think any race or sex has the ability to have a consistent thought process.

I can not agree with you.
While your objectivity considers both race & sex. The words you used describes a judgement.
It lays in a value system that responds not to the person but to a perspective.
your comentary contradicts itself .
while you do not see any worth to someone who holds a job or title they do not qualify for because of sex or race. it is the damage done by a society that believes to prove a point we must take it past the intent of the beliefs that formed the policy & make it inforced rather than change the objectivity where at 1 time a woman may never had the chance to be a crane operater or a forigner could not get a job as a judge. it was asking for opertunities. It became a demand & somewgere in the translation lost the words qualify for the job.
It lacks the luster of the job & holds high opinions about ideals.
So maybe you are a idealist.
Are you?

I agree. Either there is racism, or there is no such thing as a race. Yes, it does involve a judgement, elmarna, but that doesn't make races racism, or human diversity any less. Judgement is inseparable from perception.

Prejudice and discrimination are good things. They keep us safe and they keep us alive. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you evane; in that respect anyway.

The problem is that we tend to generalize and close up. Do you let your prejudices continue after you break the ice with a person? Do your generalizations continue?

If you still have issues with all individuals of a given race or sex after finding out you perceptions of them were wrong then you have a problem.

I'd also like to say that I do believe in the existence of racial and sexual differences, not just based on my own perception, but the perception of most people in the world. If you held up a picture of Arsenio Hall to a large group of people from around the world, who don't know who he is, and asked them "if this a man or a woman?", and "what part of the world did most of this person's ancestors come from?" Not many people will call it a female, and not many people would believe he's chinese. Recognition of those traits is racist and sexist.

Just to spell it out, racism and sexism are only as bad as the individual makes it. I personally believe that knowledge of racial and sexual steroetypes in different cultures is a source of power.

prejudice- I think making decissions before using the approiate amount of information is not apprioate. I think making decissions because society uses peer presure to influence into making decissions before approiate hurts the ability to have consistency in thought. i think grasping the first post might be difficult because of peer presure making decissions not comfortable, but i think that actualy thinking about subjects helps more than pushing them aside because people try to force me to. I think devations from consistency can probly be found from thinking about the first post. I think staying calm and consistent will help use more information.
I think i do not prejudge. I think i gain information from people i meet and i think i continue to use the information when meet new people. i think from the informaiton i have that race and sex do not effect consistency to extents that effect the ability to have consistent thought.
I think i do not know that anything is a way but i think the statisical chance of things is increased by race and sex. i think race and sex do not matter enough to effect the ability to have consistent thought.
I think i people might be trying to better themselves but have habits that stop large improvements. I think trying not to lust every back into the habit will diminish the habit.

It has been my considered opinion that people sometimes see prejudice, racism, sexism, bigotry, and whatever where there is none or at least none intended.
And other times it is ignorance and not prejudice when people say certain things that are offensive.

It is all a matter of classification. For instance, because we primarily classify people according to sex and not natural body size (e.g. girth, height etc.), we have a tendency to think of people in terms of male and female, instead of short, medium and tall. Hypothetically, you could create a society that delineates social roles more so based upon physical stature than upon sex. The Talls would be viewed as the warriors, the hunters and the money makers, and the shorts would be given over to more domestic roles.

I don't get the OP. Racism is racism. You hate a certain group of people based on their phenotypical traitraits (skin pigmentation etc) and you're sexist because you are against a person or people of a particular sex. There is no "I think I hate black people" its "I hate n*****s" or I think I am sexist its "Female CEOs need to understand board meetings don't come with kitchens."

I think these are the people that cause the problem. i think peer presure leads to definitons only meaning horrible things if the peer presure is set the way is to hate things. I think not devating from all the information about the subject because people tell you to is approiate. I think peer presure has won with rasism and sexism. I think peer presure is noticable with these subjects. i think peer pressure exists in many other areas that cause devations from thinking about subjects.
 
Racism and Sexism are heuristics, a totally natural part of the human thought process originally developed to facilitate survival by creating a conceptual "ingroup" with which a social organism could identify, thus driving the growth of larger and larger groups and the survival of the fittest...

I think you started with appropriate information then jumped to junk. I think identifying a person is easy to do fast with racism and sexism. I think stating that people are apart of a known to be way because of easy identifying characteristics and that people are fitter because of being identified with a group of people or person is not appropriate. I think there is more to people than the color of there skin or sex.
