    Just a test.

    Oh, and it's anonymous, so it's okay to be honest.

    I said a 4, simply because everyone is inherently racist to one degree or another. I don't act on these feelings, but they're there.

    I disagree.

    I'm not racist at all.....hell, I'm probably the most tolerant person of other cultures, race, etc, etc you'll ever meet.

    And I grew up in a small town. :blush:

    We need to clearly distinguish between racism and dislike for a culture.

    I don't like gangsta culture, and it doesn't matter to me what race the person is who has adopted that culture.

    I don't like radical Islam, but that doesn't make me a racist, because I don't like it when it's practiced by Arabs, Africans, or whites.

    I don't hate anyone because of their race.

    I do have an intense dislike for some cultural propensities that correlate highly with race in our society, however...

    The Daleks are a race of racists. They're literally born that way, and explicitly called degenerate for what they are. Don't you love it when TV makes guiltless hatred easy? :D

    I try like hell not to be at all, but it's probably impossible to shake off all that early training from my youth in the early sixties whitebread town I grew up in, when bigotry was simply an accepted norm.

    I blame all the fucking Micks that moved in.

    True, but then nuWho keeps toying with my emotions with Daleks that are part-human!

    Curse you, Russell Tea Lady, for making my hatred of an evil amorphous blob concealed in bonded polycarbide armour conditional on whether it's absorbed human DNA or not!!!

    Shakes fist.

    The problem with the poll, of course, is that the most hardcore racists don't think of their beliefs as racist.

    And I still believe that Mewa won't get sunburnt as easily as I do, and I even think he probably believes the same thing.

    Actually, I learned the other day that black guys do in fact get sunburned. I blame this on ignorance, I don't know why I ever thought that....

    But I'm not racist at all, I'm not a very intolerant person.

    I am not racist. In fact, I despise racism! Racism is something vile, foul, despicable and abhorent that shouldn't even exist. Kind of like the Chinese, the Greeks, the Slavs and the Inuits. I would dare say if there's anything I hate even more than the Turks, it's racism!

    So put me down for a 0.

    Believe? Its a fact.

    But I did get a sunburn once inmy life. Still have the scars. I guess since I grew up with a pool in the backyard I was in the sun quite a bit as a kid.
