A Thought About Racism

I was talking to my best friend a few days ago, and telling her about the book on White Privilege I have been reading for this course. My friend is Creo, Cherokee Indian, Puerto Rican, Chinese, Black, Indian, and Mongolian. She said that she hears the most racial remarks from black people, more so than whites or any other group - she says that black people "don't like her." On the other hand, I find the most racism coming from white people so I think it is interesting to think about where racism comes from for myself individually, and how it varies from person to person, experience to experience.
