No not at all, I can actually never understand why people are judged by the colour of their skin or where they come from and not for the person they are. Writing off people because they come from a certain country/area/council estate and stereotyping them is just ignorance in my view.

This is where I stand on this matter too. It mystifies me the racist attitude I have come across from others.
I find no rational reasoning for it. If anyone does anything wrong,then no matter who they are by all means be against those individuals then.
To look for bad or wrong in anyone to the point of prejuduce against them just for their colour or nationality for me is one of the worst wrongs anywhere

This, many here are guilty of having an 'island mentality' though and are wary of cultures that differ from their own, it is ignorance but it comes across as racism imo.
