I try not to be, but it's the society in which I was brought up. For instance, there aren't many blacks in my area and honestly expect for one I was friends with for a few years... the ones I knew that longest where jerks or not really the smartest people. I would never have thought about that or that I was a bit racist, except when I went to NYC the first time, I was very surprised at the fact that I saw a nicely dressed black man at a receptionist desk.
And then there is the statement I made one day that "Koreans are crazy." and well, all the Koreans I know are pretty weird.
I don't think you could say everyone is a bit racist. I mean, I do not understand the mindset of hating or having a prejudice against someone solely for because of their skin color, or their sex, or their sexuality.
