Can you remember when rasism was normal, when you were meant to keep to your own?

Question

I can, growing up in a smallish country town, i can remember the first ever Chinese Immigrants to arrive at our School.We all managed to become great friends, however the expectation was always there that everyone kept to their own kind! Glad that changed because I become friends with Serbs, Croats, Italians, Maltese, Chines, Phillinos and more later on, but before that you really wouldn't have a gf outside of your race or culture in that town, you just couldn't! Amazing looking back at those times....

Answer 1

RACISM HAS NEVER BEEN OR WILL NEVER BE NORMAL. RACISM HAS BEEN HERE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, AND IT'S YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE THAT CAUSED MY KIND OF PEOPLE TO BE ALL DIFFERENT COLORS, SO YOU DEAL WITH IT!!  

Answer 2

I remember when they taught people how to spell in school, ;)

Answer 3

Problem is very few people will admit to being racist -- even if it happened 40 years ago, and was the "norm". I asked a similar quesion and got plenty of replies that racism was never accepted.. The stupidity and ignorance of some people. How can we ever learn from the past if we do not acknowledge it.

Answer 4

Yes i can remember those day's and even tho i have friends from most races i still think that we were better off being separate.There is less crime and other social problems in a single racial setting. There must have been a reason that from earliest time on the races were living together in there own land and from there they formed there own groups and cultures. I would ad i do not consider my self better than others and enjoy different cultural activities and foods but still feel no one knows another cultural or racial group like they do.
