To comment on Kaltia's post (I can't get this stupid quote thing to work!), people who are racist aren't necessarily all that. They can be nice, yet somewhat... blind. I had a great-grandfather (whom I vaguely remember...) who was a German soldier in WW2. He absolutely worshipped Hitler's views, but he would never believe, even after the war had ended, that any Jews or homosexuals or any other minorities were put into concentration camps. He just wouldn't accept it, and said it was all propaganda from the superpowers. But he was a really nice guy, and he even liked my mum (who's Chinese).
Racism is a very delicate subject, and you can never really even generalise the racist people in question. Everyone has their own personal reasons for being racist. My great-grandfather was propagandaed into it, some people make the conscious choice... I dunno. Do I make sense?
And to clear things up, I'm Esther.
