I meant liberals are more racist against minorities (than conservatives), which is why I can see them being prejudice against conservatives as well. 

If what you say is true, then why are minorities voting in larger proportion on the side of liberals?

Affirmative action (which is racist) ?

How does that make liberals racist AGAINST MINORITIES?

Not that I believe it, but a lot of people argue, including a number of minority people that affirmitive action suggests that minorities can't earn positions legitamitly and need a leg up.

This in turn tends to hurt a lot of minority performance in schooling at least, because it makes them all wonder if they really "deserve to be there" and if they can really hold there own. (this part is true.)

I forget the exact term, "Beneveloent Predujece" is the term that comes to mind.

 

Wouldn't that classify it as racism against non-minorities instead? Being racist against a group would make it a negative impact toward that group.

Racism doesn't nessistate negative impact.   Racism is simply the world view that there are different races and they are different and that some races are supeiror to others.

Some argue that such groups treat minorties as inferior and drill into peoples heads that they are inferior.

Which really seems more like poor education about why affirmitive action exists then anything, but it does happen.

 

That and argueably, such things act as crutches that provide a cover to let the real issues go on.  For example, we have affirmitive action, and yet the wealth gap between the races increases... because affirmitive action can't actually adress the wealth gap effectivly.  Essentially, even in the cases when it's successful it doesn't do what it's supposed to....

though it does make a lot of people feel better about the situation.  Which is really what a lot of government programs do.  They just throw enough money at it so that people don't feel bad without using the research and implementing new more controversial policies that have a chance for actual change.
