Alot of the stereo types that are associated with race, quite frankly, have very solid basis in fact.

The biggest of which, I'm sad to say is "American's are lazy", but thats off topic, and a rant for another day.
Here's a prime example: "African Americans who live in the "Ghetto" are stupid and use alot of drugs"
Alot of people who do live in those area's more then likely don't, but I'm here to tell you that There are alot of them who do. I'd need an extra pair of hands to count how many calls I've taken from someone who was stoned in the last two weeks. When you can't figure out the difference between a phone cable and an ethernet cable when its explained as "One is bigger then the other", then there's some issues that need sorting out.
I do have to say that there is a problem of racisim in the States, and in the majority of the rest of the world, all I'm saying is that I can understand how someone can be racist when almost every stereotype can readily be narrowed down, quite easily too, to a basis in fact.
