Absolutely and totally ridiculous, so at least you are consistant.

Now I don't live in the south but I can say that for the most part whites in so cal are much less prone to racism that the so called minorities are. I say that because whites are actually the minority now here.
Whites in business generally bend over backwards to be politically correct, they go overboard trying to prevent any kind of racism and in the process they actually give preferential treatment to "members of a protected group" using the government's description.

On the other hand, it's OK for a black man to refer to me as cracker. If a white male refered to him using the N word he'd be fired or put in jail for a hate crime. It's perfectly acceptable for a black man to hate a white man because the white man has held him down and prevented him from getting rich. (BS). The victim and race card is basically a get out of jail free card when used right.
I see much more racism from the minorities that the whites but that's OK, it's not popular to talk about that. It's much more socially acceptable to stand up for these poor people than to actually point out that some of them are more guilty of the things they complain about that the whites they accuse.
