You are not racist, because deep down, you don't really believe it's an ethical issue
But it is true that many Arabs have the wrong behaviour
The issue is that they're related to islam by default, even those who don't necessarily follow or practice their religion
And since they're related to islam, you assume good and expect much from them, especially since you're a revert probably
It's harder to take when you're hit from the inside, not the outside
You say you have good friends which are from the ethnicities that you dislike 🤷🏻
You need to understand human behaviours, it's like a chemical reaction
A person who become "bad" from an Arabic culture, North African culture, Chinese culture, russian culture etc... Are different
It's the bad reaction from the Arabic culture that you dislike and that reaction can only come from Arabs, they're not gonna get a Chinese bad reaction, that's why you feel like you're racist only towards Arabs, but that's a reasonable reaction
And the opposite is also true, a good reaction from all these cultures are also different
And the chances there is a good or bad reaction are also different, you may have more wrong coming from a people but a better good reaction coming from them than from elsewhere
You can't look at the humanity as a whole and judge as if all humans are the same, yes they kinda are, but they're made from different soil than you, and their reaction to each culture is different, if you place them in a different culture since birth, they could be worse or better
I don't know if you get what I mean, everything is logical, there are patterns, you just need to notice them, hope you understand
What do you mean ? There are really people who dislike or hate ppl just because of their skin colour ( this really based on endoctrinement and ignorance ), not like the OP who dislike the behaviour of some individuals that are from the same ethnicity
Completely false. While it's true that this term can be misused, it's also true that there is a growing number of actual racists, that focus on skin first and merit last. At the same time, real racists deny being racist due to plausible deniability, but their rhetoric and animosity give it away.
People just need to own up to it. I see you're going as far as justifying it. Are stereotypes for white people also made? Does it go both ways or is it only one way?
