Racists, I grew up around a reservation which a lot of pretty scummy natives came from so lots of people's opinion on natives were pretty low.

Tied. Although that's just my dad and he just makes the odd comments now and then.

I've never met a real life racist, plenty of homophobes growing up in church

Racists easy.

racists, i work in the ER of a hospital in a very bad neighborhood and pretty much everyone who comes in despises whites. Hispanic ones to a lesser extent so i'm able to do my job, but if you're a pasty ginger nurse, you work upstairs.


They also hate each other at least as much though, lots of gunshots / concussions / stabbings / assaults usually blamed on 'da boy(s) down da road'


so it evens out.

and no i didn't make any of that shit up. I did make a mockery of it, however.

Homophobes more than Racists, though I'm sure the ones who are racists don't really speak up about in person as much as homophobes.
---

Homophobes. It's kind of a southern baptist thing I grew up around.
---

Umm tie. The only openly racists/homophobes I know are my ex's grandparents.
---

Probably racists... the most Islamophobic (and not only based on religion) people I know are both part of a minority group (one is Indian and another is gay). In terms of actual homophobes, I can't think of one. I know people that are made uncomfortable by it, but that's as far as it goes. No ill will.

Well, I know a lot more SJWs so racists.
---

I tend to not associate with either, being a close-minded SJW myself. I've closed myself off from all these reasonable intellectual opinions.

Serious talk, I've met two out-of-the-closet racists that both bullied the same black kid. Actually, the whole school thought the racist kid was cool and the black kid was "a total f*****" because they got in a fight because the bully called him the n-word. I kid you not I was the only kid I knew of that thought (and said it out loud) that the bully was a piece of shit.

I grew up in a Conservative area, so try and guess how many anti-gays I knew. I count... everyone I met in the first half of my life.

I did know one racist white girl that openly hated whites, but I think me being her friend maybe opened her mind a little, or at least I hoped. I give her a pass because she was really mentally unstable and exposure to demographics you don't like helps.

Both.

But they're subtle about it. They aren't really flaring and blatantly racist or homophobic but the message is clear that they want nothing to do with homosexuals and their attitudes towards racial stereotypes are plainly visible.

It makes me cringe but it makes for good debate and conversations to enlighten them a bit.

To be clear, I'm not telling anyone they are wrong or that my ideas and opinions are right but the exchange of dialogue and ideas are a great way to foster better relationships and get your point across without being righteous, agressive or arrogant.
