There was not much racism as I remember growing up in Germany. It was not something I was really exposed to until I moved to the states, but then again, there was not a lot of blacks or jewish people. But the blacks that I did know were a lot more respectable then say the ones I have met here. That has a lot to do with it I would believe.

Dude racial bias isnt limited to the us i am so sick of people preaching how great the rest of the world is and how god awful the us is. The only fact is this, some people are scumbag assholes who are racist pigs. They can be found in every country in the world even yours so lets stop painting america as this white only racist state. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angel Stewart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 11:11 AM Subject: The racial Bias in the US.. > Hmm..I don't think they had to spend money on a study like this. > > http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Midwest/01/14/name.bias.ap/index.html > > "CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- It helps to have a white-sounding first > name when looking for work, a new study has found. > > Resumes with white-sounding first names elicited 50 percent more > responses than ones with black-sounding names, according to a study by > professors at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business > and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. > > The professors sent about 5,000 resumes in response to want ads in The > Boston Globe and Chicago Tribune.
